Linear, compact and straight. Beginning to exhibit some aged characteristics but not one to get excited about. Talks a good game initially but then one finds there is no depth and it repeats itself over and over again. Quite a bore and to be avoided at parties.
Drink now 5+ years.

"2014" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/13/2013-10/18/2013 (Blue Mountains, NSW): {screwcap, 11%} Something of a hit & miss cuvee in my experience (2005 transcendent, 2007 dull). This has a developing nose, with toasty, vaguely honeyed aromas, yet with an underlying sourness; you know it’s not going to taste sweet. The palate has leaf and straw flavours, with softening acidity giving a denseness to the texture. Sure enough, it’s dry, about medium-bodied, with an even palate and a medium-length finish. Lifts with food, too. But I think it’s ready to drink now.

Good but not in the league of a top Hunter semillon with similar bottle age.
Screwcap, 11%
