  April 22, 2014 - Shows its age in the colour. Lovely mineral nose. I actually thought this was just past its peak initially, but it opened up over a few hours and improved a lot. Its put on a lot of weight and is rich, with lovely creamy citrus flavours. The finish was a bit short, but is soon filled out and the wine ended up a bit like a fat 1er cru meursault. Not what you expect from a Sauv/Semillon blend, but great to drink.

  April 9, 2011 - Platter tasting (By UG): A wine made of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The bouquet is special with bread dough and nuts. On the palate this is confirmed with almonds and oxidized impressions . It is tasteful and has a long finish. The acidity is present, but the question is if this bottle is faulty or past its prime? I don't score it.

  April 26, 2010 - The semillon is starting to shine here and the wine is great. Its a bit more rounded than the CWG version, with the fruit a bit more open. As it warms in the glass there as a lovely smell of wet hay and sweaty feet. More acidty than the 02, its really drinking fantastic at the moment and although it will go on, I'd quite happily drink these all up. Very Good.

  April 19, 2008 - Second bottle confirms my first impression, a very good classic white wine. I will buy some more.
