I was wavering between 94 and 95 on this, but it has everything I would want in a 6 year Hunter semillon. The colour. Is a bright golden yellow. I have a bit of a stuffed nose at the moment but fresh lemon pineapple and some dry straw are evident. The acidity is at that perfect level, dry but some sweetness of the fruit. Fruity but subtle, no maturing characteristics yet. Has many years ahead, I would love to be tasting this over the next 5 years, but only have 2 bottles left.

Light clear colour. The nose is full of lemon and citrus. Fresh and clean with a lovely crisp lemon, acid finish. A domineering wine that went well with oysters for entree. A few more years life left in the bottle, I am sure.

Bright and clean with an inviting light gold colour. Subdued grassy but pleasant green nose. Fresh and refreshing with lovely mouthfeel of lime citrus finishing dry and clean.

Pale straw colour. Light nose with a more citrus rind character rather than the more typical fresh lemon and lime. Fresh on the palate with a crisp long dry finish. I suspect this wine will develop beautifully over time.

Hunter Whistlestop - the road less travelled #5 (Hunter Valley): an impression of green…grass, lime, apple, pith and skin. Juicy, acidic but not sharply so, green on the palate too.
