Withington Semillon 2008

Pale, bright yellow with green tint. Super, attractive nose that gets your immediate attention. Lemon, lime, lees with almond backing. Rich, full and demonstrative. Full but elegant in the mouth with flavours as the nose promised with addition of red apple and hints of nettle. Beautifully textured palate. Clean and crisp with finely tuned acids which will assist in long development yet so very attractive to drink now. Developing complexity. Lots of potential to prove yet so very drinkable now. - Dave Hughes
