December 27, 2023 - Pronounced yellow; lime cordial, penetrating, shows no age; bone dry, vigorous, intense energy, direct; precise & driven finish. Will age effortlessly but no further upside.

September 22, 2023 - Semillon Lunch (Grappa Leichhardt): Mid gold colour. The distinctive lemon curd nose leads to a palate that’s long and rich with soapy/lanolin flavours enhancing the lemony fruit. The acidity is fresh but fading. Drinking beautifully now RW1 18

September 6, 2023 - Still lots of vibrant acidity and citrus fruit
Better having warmed up a bit from fridge temp
Usual notes of development you get from aged semillon but needs more time perhaps. Didn’t find anything that makes this stand out from MP Elizabeth of the same age1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 21, 2023 - Bob’s cellar. Golden yellow, clearly mature. Nose opens with dried orange and lemon rind, mixes lemon acidity and tropical fruit sweetness - still remarkably fresh. Starts a little flat on tasting, muted tones of honey and aged lemon acidity, nice background tannins. All very much softened by age but remains fresh and quietly lively. Enjoyable but will finish up the last bottle fairly soon. Finished this off a few days later - lovely. Still fresh, juicy and good fruit.Up a couple of points.
