DAY 1
Served with Vinloq to assess Slow Decanting
👃Oranges/lemon verbena, white flowers, barrel notes, tea, spice, varnish. Nice show!
👅Fruit with buttery oak touches. Open and expressive. Great balance of fruit and new French oak notes
Remaining wine was Slow Decanted
DAY 13
👅Round & soft. Buttery, orange & vanilla. Tea. Toasty. Umami. Finishes dry & salty. No bitterness as it slowly fades away…
Summary: Direct kinship to great wines of Sauternes. Delivered equal thrills on Days 1 & 13
This Kalin Semillon is a recent release after 20 years in bottle. Firing on all cylinders. No reason to wait💕🥂

When it sings... Wow! This probably Terry's best cuvee, his Chardonnays are great but this is just something special and to me the best new world example for semillon.
