Woodcutter's Semillon - The Wine Companion (James Halliday)

2010 Deep colour; honeysuckle, straw and lemon preside over the bouquet; ripe, soft and succulent,
showing some bitterness at the last, but refreshing in context.

2008 Has plenty of flavour, but needs more zest and vibrancy to grab attention. Screwcap.

2006 Clean and fresh; carries its alcohol well, althought there is a slight hit on the finish; any oak used is not visible.
2005 Date Tasted: Jul 06 79
2004 Bright green-yellow; a spotless bouquet, the fruit flavour somewhat suppressed by the impact of oak.
