Tyrrell's Vat 1 Hunter Semillon 2008
Pokolbin, Hunter, New South Wales, AustraliaLime rind, lees, toasty cashew, asparagus and green apple aromas with a touch of matchstick and buttered quince. Fresh, delicate, creamy and dry, juicy palate with green apple, jalapeno, gooseberry, lime and nut flavours. A food oriented, greener style in this disastrous harvest for red wines in the Hunter. Fortunately the sémillon was picked before the rains. This will need a few more years to hit its stride.Tasted: 06 February 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:US | $35.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
