Tyrrell's HVD Semillon 2013

Professional Ratings

• 94 Wine Enthusiast

  From dry grown vineyards planted in 1908, this vintage, despite being on the tricky side, is showing beautifully. Radiant gold in color, the nose is classic Hunter Semillon: honey, beeswax, lemon oil and fresh ginger. The bone-dry palate balances laser-like acidity with layers of texture and an endlessly long, citrusy finish. Drinking deliciously now, especially if well paired with food, it has the capacity to age until 2030, at least.

  Expressive and complex, featuring candied ginger, apricot and lemon curd flavors that mingle with bright, youthful acidity and a hint of lanolin. Drink now through 2030.
