Liverpool Offline (Everyman Theatre, Liverpool): Tasted blind. Odd nose: dry, dusty, smoky, earthy, mushroomy. Acidic, oldish attack. Quite a lot of acidity on the palate. Fades quickly. Could be an oldish (10-15 years old) Chablis maybe? Unusual. Not entirely sure I like it. Iffy to OK. Turns out to be a Hunter Valley Semillon. Yes, it could be, I suppose. Wouldn't say it was a classic example though. After a while being open I wonder if there's not a bit of corkiness, though it's more dry crumbling cardboard than the wet cardboard I'd normally associate with corkiness.
