March 17, 2021 - The wine has most certainly come of age. The nose is arch typical Hunter semillon while on the palate the honey and toast is becoming ever predominant. This wine is so reminiscent of the semillons of a previous era and such a strong expression of the region's unique take on semillon.

March 6, 2021 - Well balanced with acid integrating nicely and some aged notes coming through. Slight citrus sweetness, almost but not quite riesling like. Best with food.

December 22, 2019 - Wow! What a difference six months has made to this great expression of Hunter semillon albeit it is somewhat different to the default style. It is now turning to a deeper golden colour. The nose has the floral and rich lemon pith and lime lift that follows straight on to the palate. The acid holds the length of the deep fruit so well. A honey note is also evident. The winemaker identified this eight acres of Lovedale as being a “purple patch”. So glad I overbought this wine and have 16 bottles to track through another ten years at least.

May 31, 2015 - Hunter Valley Roadtrip 2015: Popcorn, lemon, lime and apple. Nicely balanced, good acidity and the fruit is youthful and bright. Will develop well over the next 10 years.
