2008 Reserve Semillon (Barrel Fermented)
$48.00
Appearance: With hues of green and gold which are typical of oak enhanced white wines; colour is also picked up with the time spent in barrel. Aromas: The ripe flavours of honey and subtle herbal undertones combined with the soft vanillin of the French oak have created a beautiful balance between the fruit and oak due to a marriage of all the wines components. Palate: Folded around these flavours is a backdrop of malo-lactic nuances that add texture and impact. Food: Seems a waste. . . grab a big glass, open the top, sit down in a comfy chair and enjoy. If you decide to share, they better be someone very special to you. Cellaring: A wine that will continue to develop further in the bottle with good cellaring.
