{screwcap, 11.5%} Some maturity on the nose, with smoke and a hint of honeyed development - but not too much. Colour remains relentlessly youthful though. Even in presence through the medium weight palate, the grassy, citrus-tinged fruit is slowly evolving into a toasty mouthful, with plenty of acidity. No rush to drink, but I feel somehow that most of the development has occurred by now.

Light yellow, lemon, hint of petrol on the nose, lemon/lime medium to high acidity and a very long finish, excellent with grilled lemon garlic shrimp on grilled artichoke, a favourite white wine, consistently well above average.

Much the same as a year ago. The nose remains its most attractive feature with the classic features of one year ago. On the palate it has become a little broader and with a shorter finish than the more delicate Vat 1’s suggesting that it now fully mature. Good with seafood as always.

Lovely nose of straw, lanolin and a hint of honey. This is pretty well fully matured and I shall be drinking the remaining eight bottles over the next year or two. It is a traditional and fuller Hunter white burgundy style with toast, butter and particularly honey on its long and satisfying palate. A very moorish wine and uniquely fully states its Hunter Semillon character.
