The synergy of an exceptional winemaker, vineyard and vintage has resulted in a quintessential expression of aged Hunter Valley semillon. Sweet lemon aromas mingle with hints of almond, lime curd and shale. A pristine core of soft, bright citrus fruit belies its age. It displays a magnificent balance of tertiary complexity, freshness and depth, and the persistence is phenomenal. – Toni Paterson MW
