What an extraordinary wine. The colour is a bright gold green. The nose is really intense that classic Semillon nose lifted with Citrus. On the palate it is still amazingly fresh (under screwcap) and shows that complex array of flavours but still with that Citrus to lift the finish. Very good length. In no obvious danger of falling over with that structure. Amazing for a wine that probably cost under £5 when I bought it 12 years ago. Sadly the last of several.

Not a fan of this. Opened it to go with some fish. Had a glass, vacu-vin'd and it now sits in the fridge. Maybe I'll try it again before it has to be poured down the drain.

Colour deepening to a golden yellow. The nose is quite vibrant fruit tempered by some honeying. This is repeated on the palate where the fruit becomes citrussy and the honeying more lozenge-like. A pleasant streak of acidity retrains the freshness of the wine.
