Karri Vineyard Semillon 2023

Jorge Castillo — Bit pricey for what it is

5/10

I know £13.50 isn't exactly breaking the bank but I expected more from a Semillon at this level. It's well made and balanced, sure, but it didn't really excite me. The 14% alcohol is handled well though, I'll give it that.

Emily Thomas — Brought this to a dinner party

7/10

Bought two bottles for a friend's birthday dinner and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Really expressive on the nose — you could smell it as soon as you poured. The finish is clean and doesn't hang around too long which I actually prefer. Would buy again.

Kai Oliveira — Fine but nothing special

5/10

Got this as part of a mixed case and it was alright. Clean enough finish and decent structure but I wasn't blown away for the money. At this price point there's a lot of competition and I think I'd reach for something else next time.
