Gary Walsh 91 Points!
Gary Walsh 91 Points!"Aromas of lemon, beeswax, green herbs and a little toastiness. On the palate light and dry with lemon pith, toast and grassy flavours. Very tight with strong acidity and a dry flinty finish. Pretty austere and grassy, but refreshing and clean, with bottle age just beginning to work its magic."
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, Dec 2007
"Another beautifully developed semillon with plenty of acidity left so you can drink it now or try it in five years. Light, fragrant fruit aromas and a very flavoursome palate."
Winestate's Best Wines of 2007 - 18 Feb 2008
"Hunter semillons begin as shy things, with the faintest hint of talcy lemon; high in acid and austere. But with ageing, they transform into beautiful rich and flavoursome wines of great complexity - deep in colour and captivating aromas of toast, lemon and nuts. The famous Tyrrell's Vat 1 semillon 2000 is a great example of the style and one which will cellar happily for a few more years. Tyrrell's releases its Vat 1 with at least five year's age and this trophy winner is showing the subtle development you'd expect. A beauty.
Drink it."
West Australian - 26 January 2008
"The most consistently impressive semillon in Australia. Glorious toasty complexity, but still remarkably fresh, and a privilege to drink on any occasion."
Canberra City News - 06 December 2007
"Tyrrell's Vat 1 Hunter Semillon 2000 is the latest in a long and highly awarded line of offerings from this Hunter superstar. Lemon, honey and spice lead the aroma charge, while in your mouth it's expansive, beautifully structured and built for the long haul."
