The nose is muted with understated lemon curd, toast and a little bit of funk. The palate has the acid structure of a current release, despite 10 years in the bottle, the wine hasn't developed secondary characters with citrus still dominant and texture wise is disjointed. The 02 may be going through a tough time in it's development. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2015-2020)

Popped and poured. A younger hunter semillon notes with lots of citrus as a dominant factory with some floral notes. The acidity was more pronouced with a refined texture. This semillon is still very young and has a good future ahead of it. Compared to the 1996 Hunter Semillon, this had more fruit flavours and had not develop the classic secondary toasty notes.
