Pepper Tree 2006 Reserve Semillon (Hunter Valley)

Country: Australia / Reserve
Variety: Sémillon New South Wales
Winery: Pepper Tree / Hunter Valley

Young Hunter Valley Sémillon is one of the most perplexing wines to evaluate, and I suspect that in 8–10 years’ time, my rating will seem overly stingy. Still, this light-bodied wine appears to lack depth, complexity and length, offering just some odd, resiny scents and waxy, citrusy flavors.
