  Some nutty flavors, minerals, full bodied and tasty with good and fresh acidity.

  Creamy with heaps of lime, honey, minerality and tropical fruits. Finishes dry and long. Excellent!

  First time with this great wine. Light goldish, transparent in appearance. Nose is very much about citrus - plenty of lemon, touch of lime, somewhat sweetish and tropical fruit notes to add complexity. Palate is medium+-bodied, superbly rich, honey and tropical fruits, lime and distinct acidity keeping freshness. 30+ sec finish!

  A wonderful example of Hunter Semillon. At 8 years, still a teenager. Beginning to show some bottle development but just a hint of its future. Needs another 5 years before disturbing another bottle. It will be beautiful old example.

  Still very pale and unevolved. The nose has a whiff of buttered toast and some lemon. The palate is so direct, cool and linear. It oozes citrus and has a light grassiness and a suggestion of mint. It is so focused and long and just may live forever under screwcap.
