Old Vine Semillon

From a 50-year-old semillon vineyard and winemaker Reid Bosward, of course, worked with Tyrrell's in his time, which, of course, means you should know something about making wines with the variety, of course. Only tasted in one sitting, for this note, so far. Has bright, quartzy mineral, floral and spiky citrus aromatic notes. The palate has requisite tang for refreshment, a fine, intense line of acidity that keeps the wine's aperture very slim. A cavalcade of pleasantly bitter citrus and mixed peel, then a long, talc-like texture to finish. Some will find the intensity of citrus breathtaking, others appealing for definition and energy. I like.
