This bottle had been sitting in the cellar for around 2 years now, it saddens me to think there is only one left. With spring making its appearance known, I will definitely be drinking more Semillon in the near future.
Developed straw yellow in colour, this full flavoured Semillon is showing both youthful lemon and acid alongside developed lanolin aromas and subtle honey flavour. An excellent match for a creamy chicken dish.
Irongate were still selling the 2001 vintage from the cellar door last month, well worth grabbing a bottle or two. On a side note, thank you to Irongate for supplying the bottle photo, however their website content is seriously out of date and was built using flash, its time for an update!
Score: 90/100
Price: $20
Closure: Cork
Alcohol: 12.5%
Would I buy this wine again?
Yes, I really enjoyed this Semillon while young and I look forward to seeing how the last bottle develops in a couple of years time.
After reading your review on this wine I am extremely interested in trying this wine. Perhaps it is my love of medical grade lanolin that my wife uses on her cracked nipples after a long hard day of breast feeding and on our little ones nappy rash. Could you please describe this in more detail?
