La réputation sur la longévité des Sémillons de la Hunter Valley n’est plus à faire. Les vins commencent à exprimer leurs potentiels au bout de 10 ans et ont une espérance de vie de plus de 30 ans. L’autre volet de la réputation qui n’est plus à faire est l’utilisation de la capsule à vis. Tyrrel’s a fait l’expérience et ses vins seraient tout aussi bons après 30 ans sous vis que sous liège avec en plus aucun problème de TCA. En plus, les vins n’ont pas beaucoup d'alcool, 11,0% en 2015.Parlant du vin le millésime 2015 est d’un beau jaune claire, terriblement jeune. Le nez offre des notes de melon, d'acacia et de miel. Une sensation de rondeur est perceptible. En bouche l’acidité est marquée, les saveurs sont plutôt bizarres avec des fruits passés date et du citron. Un des 1001 vins qu’il faut avoir bu, fait intéressant ce vin s'appelait Vat 1 Hunter River Riesling à sa création en 1962. — 2 days ago

A mid straw yellow in colour. Aromas are lemon and lime, lemongrass, mineral, wet hay with toastiness and lanolin starting to emerge at 13 years of age. Light bodied but great intensity - a richer texture for a Semillon, bearing in mind that this wine sees no oak at all - stainless steel all the way. Only 11% alcohol. Luckily I have 4 bottles left - a cellar life extending to 2030+. — a month ago

First Australian Shiraz I have had in ages. It was recommended as an exception to the usual 16% bruisers that we’ve all encountered. This one at 13.5% was super juicy - bursting with black and blue berries, slight forest floor, and wet concrete. Medium acid and tannin, with a fresh finish. I doubt I would have called Syrah if had blind, this comes across as just well made and balanced red wine. Simple but with impressive purity of fruit. — 3 years ago

The nose is reminiscent of a SB with nice mix of citrus, tropical, and melon fruits with hint of hay. The initial entry feels like a Chablis that’s acidic and steely, but the body gains weight in the glass and there is hint of sweetness and white floral toward the finish.
Not much experience with 100% Semillon, but this is very nice. — 7 months ago

Oak, lime like herb in aroma. Rich, citrus, white flowers. Citrus, comfortable acidity. Each factor in the taste is showing the feature clearly. From Hunter valley which is an initial place for wine in Australia. Vat 47 Hunter Chardonnay Tyrrell’s 2018 @7546, Toscany JH, 231028-231111 — a year ago
