Semillon at a beautiful point. Nose is rounded with peach, talc, and sweet spices. Palate is big, balanced, and leads with a delicious toffee. Long finish. This wine is at its peak.

Very nice. First time on YY whites and I enjoyed this. The nose says semillon but the palate offers a lot more. The 10% chardonnay adds a creamy, buttery layer to the sem. Some toasty oak flavours too, decent complexity. Different and enjoyable, though not sure about the price point.

Very faint nose: possible hints of melon, old oak, brown bread, and milk. Palate is full-bodied, with a spine of racy acidity and flavours of cream, bread stuffing, lemon oil, and a hint of butter. Easier to like than the 2011, but not as interesting.

Tropical fruits and some minerality. Finish is short and not especially memorable. Fun wine that would pair well with spicy dishes. Guessing this won't evolve into a masterpiece, but I've never had any other vintages of this wine.
