I have been slowly using up the 2001s. This bottle was drunk at 21 years old. Served to experienced tasters and as every time before people remarked as to how fresh it is. Very few tasters would have the experience to have expectations for Semillon predominant wines at 20 years, we certainly don’t. I would say that the age has made the typical Semillon characters less obvious. I am going to go ahead and serve the other bottles.

The floral tones that come with all the show honeysuckle add a lot to the ripe, sweet, yellow citrus, and dried peach notes. The wine is still fresh, vibrant, and plush on the palate and in the finish.

B3. Still very fresh - great acid and very light. Slightly muted on nose but beautiful finish of nuts and fruit. Dinner at Iconiq.

Golden honey in the glass. Started out a bit oxidized but blew off after a few hours. Lemon and Mellon. Finishes with a bit of flint.
