Tyrrell's Hunter Valley Semillon 2022

Decanter : 95 Points

(9/23/2023) After just one sip, the grandeur here is apparent. While this is a youthful wine, there is incredible perfume, flavour intensity, and a super-refined finish. It is drinking, but will outrun many innocent Semillons by a mile. I was hypnotised by the sleek, super-cool lemon balm, white flower hints and minutes-long finish. It’s a stunning wine by a world-class winery. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2034.

James Suckling : 93 Points

(10/8/2022) Hard to believe that a wine with so much bright crisp pear, star fruit and fresh herbs character has less than 11% alcohol. Very sleek body with quite a steely finish, but the fruit is the winner! Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Wine Enthusiast : 92 Points

(9/1/2023) In a region with as pronounced climactic variation as the Hunter Valley's, vintage matters. 2022 saw plentiful rain and a late harvest. It's resulted in a bright, aromatic Semillon that proves an excellent, affordable intro to this unique style. There're notes of preserved lemon, beeswax, lamp oil, white spice and dried herbs. The mouthfeel is round and textural with zingy acidity. Floral, citrus and spice flow to the finish. A summer sipper to pair with seafood or crumbly cheeses.
