Hunter Valley produce great Semillon and this Mount Pleasant one is no exception. Theres a petroleum note with ripe citrus and honey on the nose. Its a very dry wine with grass, honey and lemon on the palate with plenty of acidity and a texture of full cream milk, its a big wine.

At about £20 a bottle its not badly priced for a 10 year cellar aged semillon.
