  From magnum.
  Complex, smoky richness. Very good. Just beginning to drink. Better with another decade.

  Only very slight colour.
  Fine lemon, lime, green apple aromas. Subdued but opening up over an hour.
  Fine, restrained emerging citrus and green apple flavours. A baby. Clearly harvested early for acid and longevity. 12 alc. Halliday called it an adolescent. I will give it 10 years to grow up. It has the makings of a wonderful aged Hunter Semillon. Such wines are a truly unique Australian gem and I have been fortunate to drink a few.

  Pronounced crushed granite and toast on the nose; light to medium-bodied and slightly oily in texture, the wine is saline and briney, interspersed with lemon acidity and considerable length. This bottle was only purchased recently and thus had questionable storage history, yet even so this was an impressive display. Would guess that well-stored bottles will need at least another 5 years or so before the interest tertiary characters sufficiently emerge.

  Pale lemon colour, hints of lemon, wet stone, lime, dry herbs, green apple, almond, ginger and grass. Medium acidity, medium body and short finish.

  Similar to my note on the 2017 though less sweet and sijce sweetness (and maybe a touxh of minerality) is all that's going, gets a point less
