Seems a little subdued & fruit has somewhat faded. Still a decent hit of zesty lemon on the palette though not picking up much else, expecting a lot more of the aged Semillon characteristics. None of the usual butteryness or straw and toast notes.

I received this wine in a mixed case from Vinomofo. One of those lucky dip cases i often get suckered into purchasing on the slim chance of winning a bottle of grange.
I cracked this open not expecting much though was pleasantly surprised. Quite the mid-week quaffer. Lot of cherry & cranberry on the palate slightly peppery finish. Nothing too complex here, nothing special just a decent pinot, easy to drink and worked well with a mid-week roast chicken.

Last bottle I had of this wine and drank over 2 days. Nose of lemons and dry straw. Bit of acid up front, good to pair with something creamy/fatty to balance. Drink now.
