Robert Parker (RP) : 95+ Points (2017)

The HVD (Hunter Valley Distilling) Vineyard was planted in 1908, and the fruit for this 2017 HVD Semillon was sourced from the Sign Post block within it. The 2017 vintage was an exceptional season for Semillon in the Hunter, and the nose here leads with sun-drenched honeysuckle, green apple skins, caper brine and crushed shells. In the mouth, the wine is gentle swaying on the brink of evolution; it's still so tight and glassy, but it's starting to hint at the enveloping texture and complexity that will develop over the next couple of years. A marvel. Highly recommended.

James Halliday (JH) : 94 Points (2015)

This wine is only sourced from the vineyard planted by the Hunter Valley Distillery in 1908 on very sandy soil, the legacy of creek beds countless years before. It's stacked with flavour to the point of space invasion, and doesn't need more time for muscle building.

James Suckling (JS) : 94 Points (2014)

A dense and waxy white with sliced-apple and lemon-curd character. Phenolic tension and solidity to it. Full body. Creamy and chewy.

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 90 Points (2011)

This grows at a vineyard planted in 1908 between two creeks, where the old vines get plenty of water and little stress. From a warm vintage, the 2011 is golden in color, with scents of toasted hops, roasted mushrooms and fresher notes of oranges as the acidity refreshes the finish. Caught between youth and maturity, this needs further bottle age to bring out its toasty complexities.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 93 Points (2010)

From a single vineyard planted in 1908, this Semillon is just entering its window of drinkability, where it should remain for at least another 10 years. Scents of fresh lime juice and grilled toast lead the way, backed by flavors of limes and mandarin oranges. It's medium in body, plump yet tightly focused, with a lengthy finish full of toast and citrus zest.Cellar Selection
