Coravined twice then opened, over period of 2-3 months.
Initial reaction was not favourable; probably drunk too cold - this wine needs time in glass to integrate. Some grapefruit on the nose, quite harsh initially on the palate, then softening, with some honeyed notes coming in but still very dry on the finish, with hints of oxidation. It got better (for me) the second and third time. Others did not like it. I have had better SB/Semillon - this was quite good in the end but not memorable.

Very good, smokey and herby. Feels quite waxy on the palace and really opens up as it warms up. Better than earlier bottles and seems in a great place to drink.

Love the rich waxiness without any impression of heaviness. Seems to me to be in the perfect spot now.

Creamy and waxy character balancing the Sauvignon A bit oaky. Possibly better in 3-5?.
