Semillon

Same vineyard as their non-amber. For some reason not quite as successful. Packaged apricot, buddleia, honey. The smell of this is fantastic. But then it dies away in the mouth! So close, because the acidity is pretty fantastic (odd for a semillon though, acidex?), and gives some zip to an otherwise relatively weak wine. It's just missing fruit concentration. If the nose transposed to a palette it would be a ten. Fascinating though, I'd love to follow this bottle over the next ten years, it'll get there I'm sure. Especially when you consider the poise and concentration of their "normal" merweh.
