Tyrrell's Sémillon Vat 1 2017

Pale lemon straw . Quite cool and citrus , lime nose , touch of spicy herbal hints , but quite reserved and understated . On the palate this is really direct and linear , lime and slightly honied , cool green apple , lightly toasty , lightly waxy finish . Sharp piercing acidity . Very elegant and long on the palate , light weight but intense at the same time , really quite a feat to carry off . Just a baby , enjoyable yes , but this has so little development , so fresh needs a little time in bottle to fill out on the palate . I would probably come back in 5 - 10 years , will probably last another 10-15 effortlessly — 16 days ago

A great choice Andrew. These Vat 1’s live for ages. Will develop toast, honey and a waxy lanolin like texture. Puts on weight. Amazing for a wine that sees no oak. I have several bottles from 2011 I am looking forward to. Another terrific Hunter Valley Sem to try is McWilliams Lovedale - also Brokenwood.

Yes , truly great wines @Bob McDonald , have had the Lovedale in the UK , lucky to pick up some 2014 from Lay & Wheeler. And unbelievably at the local Total Wine here in Orlando managed to pick up a bottle of some Brokenwood 2016 Oakey vineyard …. Last bottle

Hunter Valley Shiraz 2018

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

Vat 1 Hunter Valley Semillon 2011

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+. — 3 months ago

Hunter Valley Sémillon 2022

9.0

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.

HVD Single Vineyard Hunter Chardonnay 2009

17/20 (92/100) Мне определенно нравится, как развивается это шардоне: аромат поджаренного хлеба, сливочного масла, цедры лимона, спелого яблока. Довольно тельное и кислотное. Отлично! — 5 years ago
