Sémillon

Mendoza · Argentina

Fact sheet

201688 pts

Aromas of butterscotch, vanilla and melony fruits rest comfortably in front of a smooth palate. Melon, honey and floral flavors finish full but healthy courtesy of just-enough acidity.
201582 pts

Strange aromas of spiced pumpkin, gardenia and chemicals don't present that well. On the palate, botrytis and outright rotten notes give off a honeyed quality but also bitterness. Overall this Semillon is unbalanced and odd.
201485 pts

Aromas of tropical fruits, ham, candle wax and melon are odd and unusual. An oily, chunky palate features waxy, honeyed flavors of salami, fennel and quince. A waxy feeling finish with controlled bitterness and honeyed stone-fruit flavors wraps this up.
201084 pts

Waxy to the max, with baked apple, dry spice and plenty of oak on the bouquet. Thick and mouthfilling in terms of texture, with creamy melon and sweet apple flavors. Turns pithy, stalky and bitter on the finish.

Heavily vegetal and unclean on the nose, then pickled on the palate, as in sauerkraut. The only thing saving this from the flusher is decent body weight and mouthfeel.
