Tyrrell's Old Winery Semillon 2005

Having tried their superb Vat 1 semillon, was curious about one of their base range semillons. Pale straw, the bouquet was very soft and reserved, with lemon and lime dominating, with faint wax, toast and grass aromas underneath. On the palate initally it held nominal carbonation, which dissapated after the first glass, and showed assertive acidity making for a steely flinty feel, balanced with hints of honey and vanilla in the background. Decent length and a bone dry finish made this very elegant drinking, and matched our baked fish dish very well. This is fine semillon, and at $12 excellent value. Definitely would age with confidence.
