  Pale straw. Grapefruit and peach, with salt and minerals. Refreshing and nice on its own.

  This is elegant, fresh and aromatic with straw, stone fruits, clove hints, some veggies and limes. Its medium bodied spherical, white fruits palate has light vanilla undertones and excellent depth, freshness and length. 12%. This is impressive and highly drinkable.

  Medium straw.
  Whetstone, chalk and a hint of sweat. Just a touch of green.
  Dry with a hint of flesh and reasonable weight and richness on the palate. Very tight acid core.
  Pleasant wine however lacks layers and depth.

  Not much Semillon participation. Weak on the SB side also.

  Much drier than other recent vintages. French-like citrus fruits with plenty of acid and bristling bitter lemon. I wonder if there were ripening issues with the 2017 vintage. Good wine but needs some pondering given the dryness.
