Tyrrell's Vat 1 Hunter Semillon 2005

Pokolbin, Hunter, New South Wales, AustraliaIt's been lovely to track this vintage over time. This shows semillon's striking ability to age gracefully. Streamlined and white honeyed, this flows with intent. Showing twelve years of age with smile lines, this is pixellated lemon pith on the precise, medium-bodied palate. Everything about this wine is in a delicate and tender moment: fresh almonds, wild flowers, dried chamomile, salts, finishing on a bitter pear skin riff. Acidity hums, almost with a prickle, to the gentle finish (easy at 11.2 percent). Not done yet, but feels slowing down. 91Tasted: 13 September 2017Tasted by: Prices:
