2007 Mount Pleasant Cellar Aged Elizabeth Semillon, Hunter Valley

( £14.95-£17.80, 11%, Berry Bros & Rudd, Hedonism, Slurp )

Not many white wines age as wll as Hunter Valley Semillon and this is well up to speed, as its haul of medals (plastered all over the front label) testifies. It’s just starting to shift into another gear, developing the toasty notes that are so typical of the style. Refreshing, waxy and taut with custard, honeysuckle and citrus peel notes. Long and satisfying.
