Brilliant sunshot yellow with bright lemon custard cream notes… 11% abv silky smoothen round weightless palate of lemon curd, honey, and lanolin. Rich, round, and woolly. God, I love aged Hunter Valley Semillon. All smiles for a Sunshine Coast Italian lunch. G’day from 85 degree Australia. — 6 months ago

9.1

Medium lemon color with pronounced aromas of fresh toast, lemon curd, straw, blossom and beeswax. High acidity with toast, beery malt, lemon and a hint of coconut continuing on the long finish. A striking, unique wine that would be terrific with grilled fish, smoked fish, lobster and scallops. With this much age it’s bit robust for oysters, but younger, more lemony, versions would be beautiful with bivalves — 8 years ago

Very acidic. Much better with food. Nose had diesel or kerosene overpowering everything else. Palate was a pleasant surprise. — 9 years ago

Pretty aromatics with black and red berries. Same to taste with coffee and raw meat. Good acidity too but it all ends a bit abruptly. — 9 years ago

Classic jammy fruit up front, with spice at the back that had held up well over time. Definite hints of tobacco and eucalyptus. Still has decent life left. — 9 years ago

In a word, delicious! Silky smooth tannins with notes of cherry, acai, milk chocolate, dried cranberry, baking spices, and eucalyptus. Paired with lamb but the wine definitely holds its own #auction — 9 years ago

Fresh, crisp, minerally, Chablis like, but harder to digest...unless is 40degrees. Super young, you need to what you like to enjoy this bottle at this stage. I like it👍very persistent too anyway — 10 years ago

9.1

Dense Crimson in colour. The nose and palate on this full bodied red are more reminiscent of a South Australian Red than the medium bodied savoury style typical of the Hunter Valley. Just the faintest hint of HV sweat and earth. This showed rich ripe black currant with smooth tannins. It’s a pity there was a time when HV wines tried to mimic the SA styles which were more popular. This is an example of that. Quite a good wine but not true to its origins. Thankfully the main HV wineries have returned to their original style - think Mount Pleasant Maurice O’Shea, Brokenwood Graveyard and Tyrells Individual Paddocks. — 6 years ago
