Sémillon

Brokenwood

Hunter Valley Sémillon 2012

Light lemon colour . Beeswax , lemongrass , lemon peel on the nose. On the palate good body, with lemon and lime notes , beeswax and a herbaceous tinge . Still fresh acidity , this comes across as really quite young still, without the honied, toasty notes you expect with age . Still quite light on its feet, elegant and relatively lean . The length is ok , and perhaps lacks a little intensity on the mid palate , but for the basic Semillon this shows well . Drink now and over the next 10 years — 3 months ago

Really exceptional. Have usually had these with more age, but this is delicious at this point. Surprising amount of green Apple and similar acid to go along with that. Excellent pairing and just a great wine. — 4 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Blanc de Lynch-Bages White Bordeaux Blend 2011

2011 vintage. Spectacular wine that is really still getting better. Pale golden hue. Grapefruit, grassy, white blossom, honeysuckle, mineral and appetising. On the palate, medium body and medium plus acidity which gives a lemon zesty note to the wine. The mineral character is more apparent and there's a green pea note too. Good concentration and long finish. Fabulous and unbelievable value. A top top wine. — 9 years ago

Château de Fieuzal

Pessac-Léognan Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon 1994

Quite a deep old gold, light honey colour slightly hazy. Intact and interesting on the nose , lanolin and candle wax , touches of roast almonds and bruised apple. On the palate quite intense and with lemon pith , orange peel , bruised apple and candle wax . There is a lightly sherried character noticeable after a short while that gets more noticeable with time . Good acidity and weight , creamy mouthfeel . Quite reasonable length. This obviously should be drunk now (probably should have been drunk a decade ago too) won’t improve and only will become more sherried with more time . Commendable and a nice surprise but drink quickly once open ! This bottle just one of the weird but wonderful choices available from T Wright Wines in Bolton (uk) , a real gem of a shop that I throughly recommend. — 4 months ago

Dolce Winery

Late Harvest Napa Valley Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2016

A blend of mostly Semillon and about 10% Sauv Blanc, fermented 6 months in oak, aged for 3 years. Medium amber color with aromas of ripe sweet fruits and orange honey botrytis notes. On the palate rich flavors of ripe peaches and figs with vanilla notes. Long finish ending with sweet fruit notes. Tasting well now, Nice! Had this with a blueberry tart! — 4 months ago
