First Creek Botrytis Semillon 2002 Thursday, Jul 3 2008
Tasting Notes and Hunter Valley and Australia and Variety and White and semillon et al and Sweet
Three times a year a bunch of us rotate venues for a dinner/tasting. We took this wine to end the night on. I purchased it from cellar door on a visit to the Hunter a few months back. I was surprised to see how many sweet whites were available in the Hunter and generally speaking most were very good. This has the classic apricot nose of a botrytis wine although it seems a lot less lifted than many botrytis whites. The flavours are fresh and quite zingy with a long finish where the acid holds the sweetness in check. Very well crafted. Sorry about the way the bottle colour went weird with my photo
