Brokenwood ILR Reserve Semillon 2014
DOZEN: $1,188.00 or $99.00 each
Pale straw-green - an extraordinary colour of an extraordinary wine. A fragrant bouquet floats out of the glass and introduces a palate that has the best of all worlds: lemon, lemon curd, beeswax and fruit spice with no hint of the searing acidity Hunter Valley semillon can throw at the unwary. Here it is perfectly (and naturally) balanced. (99) JAMES HALLIDAY
Light to medium-yellow, bright and luminous, with a wonderfully complex yet fresh bouquet of toasty-developed semillon fruit, hints of dried herbs, lemon and resiny traces. The flavour is voluminous: it fills the mouth and is intense and superbly harmonious, with refreshing dryness and cleansing but seamlessly balanced acidity. A very long follow-through and a clean finish. A magnificent example of semi-mature Hunter semillon. (98) HUON HOOKE
