This proved to be quite a developing expression of Hunter semillon from benchmark producer Tyrrells. The wine has evident tertiary butter and lactic aromas, with notes of mild struck match. As ever with more developed semillon, it is almost surprising there is no oak. The palate has particularly enamel searing, very high acidity and a biscuit and toast character. This wine is much more developed than expected from a still youngish semillon bottled under screwcap, and has entered its drinking window. Rating: Good. Abv: 11.5. Price: $20s.
