98 points Erin Larkin (Wine Advocate): "The 2009 Vat 1 Semillon was opened at dinner last night. It struck me that it was creamy and weightless, nutty and super fine. Today, in the context of the vintages on show here (2023, 2017, 2013, 2009, 2005 and 1998), it looks like the other 2009s on the table: rich, toasty, voluptuous, compact and contained. I loved it last night in a social setting, and I admire it here today in a critical one. The color is indistinguishable from the 2023. 11% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2024-2039. (08/08/24)." 95 points Ned Goodwin MW (Wine Companion): "I have tasted a great many 2009s which boast aromatic flare and an approachable roundness, albeit without the prerequisite freshness and pungency that defines great Hunter semillon. Here lies the outlier. Delicious! An exceptional '09. Lemon drops, barley water, apricot pith, quince and buttered toast, the defining aroma of aged semillon. Feigns oak, but there is none. The dichotomy of lightness juxtaposed against riveting flavour intensity, riveting. This has life left, while offering imminent pleasure. (08/13/21)."
