  2/4/2024 - Alexander Smith Does not like this wine: 87 Points

  A blend of 50% Semillon, 43% Sauvignon Blanc and 7% Chardonnay. L.T.C stands for a Little touch of Chardonnay. The blend does not work. Make a Semillon, make a Sauvignon Blanc, maybe add 10-15% if you must of Semllon but this blend is just messy. Pierro is meant to be one of the leaders in terms of Chardonnay but this blend is just a mess. Reminds me of some South African blends. The semillon just makes this heavy, you get the brightness of the Sauvignon then the Semillon brings it down, not sure what the Chardonnay is meant to do, but not that much.
  
  Aromas of nectarine, peaches, lemon balm oil and bees wax. The palate was initially bright, but then turned heavy and struggles through the mid-palate which is quite oil and salty.
  
  Was going to visit Pierro today, I am happy I did not, I went to Vasse Felix instead which was excellent!
