That's a real pity, where did you get them from, online auction or original purchase? I am about half way through a case I picked up at the time of their release and so far thee bottles are batting 100%. What surprised me about the last bottle I tried was how little development the wine has gone through. The colour is still that almost ultra little green/pale yellow tinge with not sign of the deepening golden yellow of older Semillons. The palate is still amazingly fresh and young with fantastic acid. Tasted blind I would have picked it at 3-5 years old at the most rather than rapidly approaching 20.

All three bottles from the the same six pack, purchased from a good friend (who bought on release) with excellent provenance. If I remember correctly, another one in the six pack also had TCA.
