The 2017 Vat 1 Semillon is only just starting to open up. It has notes of honeysuckle and creamed honey on cold toast, white pepper and scratched citrus. The palate is where this comes into its own. It is kaleidoscopic and rich. Glints of flavor like rays of sunshine penetrate the experience and give us a sense of what we can expect from this wine in the future. This is awesome. You could open your bottles starting now, no problem. But patience will always be rewarded by Semillon. 11.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Green apple and lime juice. It has a wonderful directional spine. Zesty and mouth-watering. A gentle nutty evolution is starting to show, but it's still super-young. It delivers all I expect from this classic. (FG)
