The more forward and approachable of Thommo’s Semillons. I must admit I’m a Braemore man and the O.C. does less for me as a young wine – it’s just too juicy.

Sherbet and lime. Lots of sherbet. Lots of lime. Great fruit intensity here – excellent power, if perhaps a little forward and a fraction toasty. Nice acid though (and this can look really good with age).

Juicy Sem and high quality, if standing in the shadow of Braemore’s greatness.

Would I buy it? I’d drink it, but Braemore is where the money goes.
