Mount Pleasant `Elizabeth` Cellar Aged Hunter Valley Semillon 2017 11.0% 6x75cl (Halliday 95 points)
"95 points. An aged release. Ah, what a drop-dead beauty, with the poise of a ballerina, feet barely touching the ground, and marking the end of act one. The first stage of honey and toast just commenced, with four to five stages still to follow." James Halliday
Sourced excusively from their Lovedale vineyard, Elizabeth Semillon has been the quintessential Hunter Valley Semilon since the early days. Aged for 5 years before release, it is now in its optimal drinking window.
Pale straw in colour, the wine is refined and restrained, a testament to its aging potential. The aromas are of freshly cut citrus with hints of freshly cut hay and vanilla.
On the palate the wine is tight and pure. Reflective of the aromas the wine tastes of fresh lemon and limes. The texture is light, bright and pure with a fresh line of acidity along the palate. The finish is fresh dry and seamless.
