1998 Hunter Valley Semillon
Pale lemon colour. Subtle aromas of grapefuit and fresh herbs with just a hint of creamy lanolin. Lean tight palate and structure typical of young Hunter Valley Semillon which is yet to reveal its full fruit flavours. The finish is positive with a refined acid edge. Will become a classic given five or more years in a cool cellar.
