No tasting note was given.
Lemon rind and mineral on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, with a strong acidity and thick and rich palate. So structured it's almost tannic. Outstanding.
Greenish gold. Very powerful Sauvignon lemon notes with some minerality. Off dry with a strong Sauvignon freshness even though Semillon is the dominant grape (as at Louviere). Good weight and very dry finish. Rapier-like in its impact. Mid fruit. Quite flashy and dramatic. (83% Sem, 17% SB)
A little more Sémillon in this than usual, at 83%. It's captivating. The elegant, minerally nose opens to reveal lemon and a hint of passion fruit, and the flavours are poised and fine, with hints of sweet vanilla oak, honey and white peaches. There's an elegant, minerally, smoky character, fresh acidity, a bervy, thoroughbred structuer, elegant finesse, and lovely balance and length. 2008-2018
