- Lovely with a cheese board
We cracked this open with some friends and a big cheese board on Saturday night. Really easy to drink for 14%, you honestly wouldn't know. Good depth to it and the kind of wine where you sit and savour it rather than just knocking it back. Would recommend.

- Interesting old vine character
I've been getting into old vine wines lately and this Semillon didn't disappoint. There's a real concentration to the fruit that you don't get with younger vines. Nose is lovely too — confident and expressive without being over the top.

- Nice enough, not blown away
Saw this on a restaurant menu and thought I'd give it a go. It's decent — clean, well balanced, pleasant enough finish. But for what you're paying I expected something a bit more exciting. It's well made but just didn't wow me personally.

- Solid wine, good with food
Had this with a lamb roast and it was a great match. Nice balance to it, not too heavy despite being 14%. The finish sticks around in a good way. Would buy again but probably wait for a special occasion at that price.

- Good but bit steep
It's a nice wine, don't get me wrong. Well made and interesting to drink. But nearly thirty quid? I've had bottles at £18-20 that I've enjoyed just as much. If it was closer to £22 I'd rate it higher.

- Birthday treat that delivered
My wife got me this for my birthday and I'm glad she did. Really complex and layered, the kind of wine where you keep noticing new things as you drink it. The alcohol is totally hidden which is dangerous because it goes down very easily.

- Really impressed with this one
Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. The depth of flavour is genuinely surprising — old vine stuff really does make a difference. At £28.50 it's not an everyday bottle but it's one I'd happily buy again for a nice weekend dinner.

- One of the best I've had this year
Absolutely loved this. Brought it to a dinner party and everyone was asking about it. There's a quiet depth to it that sneaks up on you — I kept going back for another sip. The finish just lingers perfectly. Already ordered another bottle.
