Intense aromatics - lemon, floral, herb and orange peel. Nicely dry and refreshingly crisph. Good balance and has fine texture as well.

Good intensity with oats and lemon. Nice acidity and plenty of fruit intensity. Starting to develop but plenty of time on its side.

Less obvious than the 2012 entry level Shiraz. Oak, licorice and earth with a little stalk. Nice texture and depth with savoury influence evident. Well balanced palate - give it some time.

2006 Mount Pleasant Wines Sémillon Anne 90 Points
Australia, New South Wales, Hunter Valley
Still youthful, some spice, lemon and florals. Medium bodied, had the feeling of starting to round out very slightly. Not that deep but good value and should continue to develop.

2011 Mount Pleasant Wines Shiraz Old Paddock & Old Hill 90 Points
Australia, New South Wales, Hunter Valley, Pokolbin
Nice aromatics - cherry and raspberry, some heady violet perfume and red licorice. Fresh and quite bright palate, with plenty of that red fruit character, with the acidity nicely complimenting the fruit. Good length.

2013 Mount Pleasant Wines Sémillon B-Side - LS8 89 Points
Australia, New South Wales, Hunter Valley
Lemon pie, light herb, some florals. Shows a bit more sweetness than the off-dry description would indicate, it has quite a bit of roundness but some freshness compliments it well. Early drinking probably.

2011 Mount Pleasant Wines Shiraz Philip 87 Points
Australia, New South Wales, Hunter Valley
Blackberry and some spice and earth. Light palate, delicate but I wish there was a little bit of depth to it. May just be awkward at the moment.
