NobleRottersSydney - Old riesling night (Fix, St James, Sydney): {cork, 13.5%} [Geoffrey] A mix of nougat and stainless steel aromas; almost smells a bit grassy, as you might expect of Semillon. Quite a rich, dense palate, medium dry, with some grape-skin texture, not so much oak apparent. The sweetness is beguiling, but falls short of luscious despite its honey/vanilla flavours. Medium weight, with a medium long finish. Very decent, second wine or not, and will surely hold and even improve for another five years or so.

93/7 Semillon/Sauv Blanc. Medium nose shows papaya, roasted pineapple, yellow flowers. Palate gives candied banana, honeyed orange peel, lemon zest, guava, honeysuckle, medium acidity and alcohol. Could use complexity, but gets the job done for medium price point. Different vintages might show better.

It was fine. Weak. Not a ton to recommend it.

中金黄。闻香和上一支类似,也是焦糖和杏干的味道,入口酸度高,酒液甜,酒的集中度比上一支略逊一筹,余味稍短。

A nice wine but has a very short finish with simple structure.
