Drank at cellar-temperature... very much reminds me of a Sauternes. Definite botrytis notes, bracing acidity to balance out the honeyed sweetness - as one would expect from a 100% semillon in this style.
While not a stunner, was definitely worth the $20 I picked it up for. And not having tasted this in its purported drinking window (which ended in 2020), I can only say that this wine was still very much alive and kicking in 2020.
