March 14, 2024 - Notes after 1 hour open. Light straw gold color, clear and bright.
Medium intensity nose that gives up an enticing bouquet of tropical and citrus fruit with a kiss of oak. In the mouth, the weight of the wine is substantial, providing a creamy texture with ample acidity to lend a nice bite in the finish. Great stamina, almost as long as its big brother Chevalier Blanc. Deliciously in my wheelhouse. No rush to drink.

October 21, 2023 - 40th anniversary tasting (L'Esprit du Vin - Axelborg): My notes from this fantastic gigantic tasting are in general extremely short (because of the many wines) but with ratings. We spent a whole day tasting and tasting quality wines.
This wine: No notes taken. -

November 25, 2022 - A let down for $31. The Sémillon was not expressive. A middle of the road effort and I had to pay shipping for it.

May 1, 2022 - Flott vin. Relativt fyldig/rik stil, nesle, kalk og litt smør/fat. Bra fedme i munnen og fin syre

February 12, 2022 - Fyldig duft av sitrus, nesle, urter fat. Fin fedme, god konsentrasjon og syre. Lang gresset utgang.
