2017 Shadybrook Estate Sémillon Platine Blanc

Not what I'd hoped for - a California take on Semillon that allowed the grape to show. Overoaked, though not horribly so. Some at the table with more tolerance claimed to enjoy this more than I did, but the bottle wasn't in much demand even so. Tropical fruit, vanilla, pineapple yadda yadda.

Cork broke, but no harm done; the wine was still a deep opaque purple, no bricking or fading. Pure Cabernet nose, fairly fresh and primary. Same on the palate, surprisingly unevolved. Tasty, if fairly simple. Good start to Quarantine Days, all told.

Drank a bunch of these over the years, with consistent impression: there might be decent fruit somewhere under all the oak, but who can tell? Previous bottles were mainly vanillin buoyed by some acidity. Held on to one last bottle for a couple of years, wondering if something interesting might happen. No such luck: fruit mostly gone, oak still very present. The score represents my aggregate take on this wine, since this last bottler was far past its feeble prime.
