2012 Good Wine Guide reviews by Nick Stock

Published Date: Tuesday, 11 October 2011

Award-winning wine critic Nick Stock tastes and rates over 1500 wines (including 3 Tulloch Wines) in his 2012 Good Wine Guide.

Julia 2011 Limited Release Semillon RATED 93 POINTS

"A superb Semillon, with entrancing aromas of fresh lemon and lemongrass, lime zest and sherbert and lemon barley - fresh and alluring nose. The palate's strong on citrus flavour, which bends between lemon and yellow grapefruit. A pithy, convincing finish." Nick Stock

JYT Selection 2011 Semillon RATED 93 POINTS & VALUE PICK

"A personal selection of Jay Tulloch, made only in years he reckons deserve it, this has a ripe, fresh style. It's picked a little greener than the Julia and is delivered in a leaner shape. The palate's as dry as a chip, and lemon flavours run nice and deep; crisp apple finish." Nick Stock

Tulloch 2011 Semillon RATED 91 POINTS & VALUE PICK

"A bright, crisp and whisper-clean young Semillon that offers plenty of lemon balm and lanolin on the nose; some faintly tropical estery notes here too. The palate's juicy and not too aggressively pitched: solid, waxy, musky melon-fruit flavours; some lemon sherbert too. Nice balance." Nick Stock

Tulloch 2010 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc RATED 89 POINTS

"A handy twist in the straight-laced semillon category, this has an added layer of blackcurrant-tinged fruits, some basil leaf and then a good measure of semillon's lemon citrus. The palate's soft: melon flavours and easygoing texture make for approchable early drinking." Nick Stock
