Grassy in a very way, and starting to show some of the waxy texture you'd expect with an aged Hunter Valley example.

Salinity, texture, perfumey, on an interesting wavelength.

Well hot damn this is some fine wine. Everything I want in a semillon and then it keeps going and going and going. Drink now or keep forever (because with another 10 years I might levitate).

Forlorn hope; clearly. Semillon; not a clue. Think a white version including all the vegetal aspects of a Loire cab franc, a jalapeño based margarita, and a touch of that grassy sauv blanc thing...I like it!

A lovely, briney wine with a Dune-reference name? It doesn't get much better.

@Delectable Wine - this is the 2011 Nacre. Another beautiful #rarecreature . Crisp & aromatic on a humid night.
