“The 2017 Vat 1 Semillon represents an excellent Semillon vintage in the Hunter Valley, and it is here that we start to see the majesty of aged Semillon begin to unfold….In the mouth, the wine is texturally silky (with a weighty fall, like heavy gauge silk) and lingering. It moves with momentum rather than outright speed…..and it has a clarity and freshness in the mouth that is astounding.97+pts.” Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
“A bit autumnal and earthy, little black pepper and clove spice, maybe some liquorice. A sandy chew to tannin, blue fruit, quite a peppery finish, but heaps of character, and it could only be from the Hunter. Acidity a little orange and orange rind-like, but really good all the same. 93pts.”
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
