What a flop ! Bog standard tart lime and petrol. Could be a Wolf Blass basic. This wine is gorgeous for 12 months or so after bottling but then goes backwards. |

possibly in a lull period ? Maybe best left another few years... Have you got many bottles left? |

For what its worth, the TA '06 Semillon is the poorest Ive had to date. I picked up four bottles last year, the two Ive had so far were quite aggressive, full-on and lacking balance. I noted that the alcohol level had rocketed up to 13.5% too, it just didnt suit the wine. Not a patch on the '04. I will leave the other two 'bottles a couple of years before giving it another go. |

That was my only bottle. I have two 04 which I am keeping until 14 to see how they will taste after 10 years as Tim Adams says at 10 years the wine is beyond wonderful. They are being kept by a non wine guzzling friend....as i'll only drink them. I can't be trusted

I sold 10 bottles of Peter Lehmann semillon 05 to a mate who likes full bodied whites for £3.00 each. Partly to clear some space but mostly because the wine just wasn't mellowing to the extent I wanted it to. I shall nip to Sainsbury and replace with 3 bottles of that Sancerre. Shez..you into Sancerre/Pouilly Fume or just MSB |

GG, not just a MSB man Haven't much experience with a good sancerre or pouilly Fume, but the few that I have had have been very good the times I've had em. Pricerange always been a bit of a key factor. Never tend to find any going for a decent offer.... I did pick up a 6 pack of the Calvet Tourraine you recommended 2 bottles down at friends BBQs so no notes taken but went down extremely well for £3.75 a bottle |

Interesting.... I have a bottle of TA Riesling 2004 left - last bottle I drank a few months back was good but I agree, not as good as when a lot younger. The semillon is very patchy. Both a friend and myself rated this as the standout wine in a wine tasting several years ago. We both bought half a dozen bottles of the 2003 which was tart and deeply unimpressive when I tried it in 2005 and 2006. It's definitely improved a lot over the past couple of years though. |
