  Wow, still holding good fruit. That excellent Semillon burst, nice bouquet. A delight after 20 years.

  Drank at home over 2 nights.
  
  The wine was a deep yellow colour, obviously gone into its second phase of development and drinking very nicely - almost over the hill, but not quite. The fresh, crisp lemony zing of a young Semillion is long gone, and is replaced by a wonderful round, supple wine. Roasted nuts and butter on the nose, quite intriguing stone fruit, hazelnut and butterscotch flavours on the palate. Amazing for an un-oaked wine. Layers and layers of mouth coating flavour, and a nice long finish. It may have been a little better a year or so back with a little more freshness, but I loved this.
  
  All in all, a wonderful white wine - aged Hunter Semillion is one of great wines of the world and undervalued. It is a pity that is so unnoticed by the general drinking public.

  NobleRottersSydney - Hunter Valley; 8/13/1999-8/15/1999 (Hunter Valley): {cork} Mid yellow. Quite aged, toasty nose, palate seems oaky but isn’t, nice nut and fig flavours; doing its best to look like a chardonnay! More interesting than the ’94, but with an appreciably shorter finish. Ready to drink.
