The 1998 Semillon, from the family's Alicot Vineyard, is a powerful (13.8% alcohol), lanolin, waxy, citrusy Semillon with medium to full body, nearly outstanding depth, and fine purity and overall balance. It begs for fish as an accompaniment to its chewy flavors. I realize Australian Semillons are alleged to possess uncommonly long lives, but my palate prefers them in their exuberantly fruity youth - 2-3 years.The wine emerges from the estate's vineyards, and the well-known Rolf Binder (of Veritas fame) is the consulting winemaker. This is a superb source for highly flavorful, intense wines.Importer: Dan Phillips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
