  My recommendation — decant for 1 to 2 hours. To explain: this was my first non-sweet semillon. Upon opening it smelled oxidised and I was worried it would be going down the sink. However, I persevered because the colour was less orange / brown than I would have expected for an oxidised wine. I think it took about 2 hours (out of the fridge) to sort itself out. Peachy, orangey, lightly nutty finish, very interesting to try. Paired surprisingly well with monkfish in Thai green curry with lots of fresh coriander. I would buy again but probably not in great quantity.

  Enjoyed this a little less than last time, showed a little more oxidative with some bruise red apples, nutty, spiced cider and beautiful pronounced minerals! Palate has a round rich mouthfeel with medium acidity and a nice finish

  Eye: bright yellow. Nose: tangerine, floral, aromatic, very pleasant. Palate: crisp, moderate acidity, full body, long finish… is that all? Nope. Nice fruit of apples and citrus but yet very well balanced and structured. My best white wine.. ever? Hmmm

  Oinoscent crew day out mayhem: The wine shows ripeness of fruit, citrus, honey, a touch earthy, honeycomb
  Palate shows medium body, low to medium acidity, ripe fruit, citrus and pear, a bit tight as it is, green apple, medium to long finish
  Strange but interesting

  Wow this was lights out fantastic! Nutty, rocky, red apple skin, pear and ginger on the nose, palate clean and expressive with medium acidity medium body and a spicy grippy texture and and really long finish. Rebuy even with the price of it
