TASTING NOTES FOR Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Cellar Aged Semillon Hunter Valley New South Wales 2019

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with a faint golden hue. Bright and delicate, showing early bottle-aged evolution.

👃 Aromas
Fresh and finely detailed, with lime, lemon barley water and lemongrass.
Subtle notes of flint, hay and light honeyed toast begin to emerge, adding classic aged Hunter Semillon complexity.

👅 Palate
Light-bodied and precise, driven by pure citrus—lemon and lime at the core.
There’s a refined, almost weightless feel, with gentle development bringing hints of honey, toast and savoury nuance while maintaining vibrant acidity.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Fine, tight and beautifully structured with a silky, lightly waxy texture.
The finish is long, clean and mineral, with lingering citrus, a touch of flint and a crisp acid line.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic aged Hunter Valley Semillon—elegant, subtle and all about finesse.
Shows purity and precision rather than power, with developing complexity and excellent ageing potential.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, fresh seafood, grilled fish or lemon-based chicken dishes. Also excellent with Asian cuisine and light, herb-driven meals.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A beautifully refined Semillon that highlights the elegance of aged Hunter Valley style.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want something uniquely Australian and sophisticated—or a standout straight dozen for lovers of subtle, age-worthy whites.
