The magical essence of this remarkable site is on full show in 2005, and it's hit a beautiful point in its evolution just in time for its release. It holds an excellent lemon green hue and displays remarkable purity of preserved lemon fruit, meeting great complexity of spice. A wine of incredible length and line that you can get into right away or leave for a decade yet."

"A beautiful, middle-aged semillon in classic Hunter style. It has a buttered-toast bouquet and a combination of aged and fresh-fruit flavours. Still tight and delicate, with low-alcohol subtlety, great length and a clean finish."
Huon Hooke, Gourmet Wine Traveller April/May 2011
eRobertParker.com 92 points!"The 2005 Cellar Reserve Braemore Semillon has fragrant notes of dried leaves, hay and preserved mandarin peel with hints of warm grapefruit and wet pebbles. Dry, light-bodied, very crisp and yet approachable with a long layered finish, this vintage is coming into balance making for a pleasant glass now though should evolve and cellar to 2020+."
