2018 Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Cellar Aged Semillon

Complex and mouth filling with lemony acidity lending freshness to an otherwise waxy feel.

Bright straw colour with straw green tinged edges and a watery hue. Evolving from the glass are aromas of lime and green apple overlaid with notions of oily toast like characters, subtle bees wax, lemon butter and hints of kerosene. Mouth filling lime, green apple and toast flavours infused with kerosene are delivered with excellent intensity and textural volume. Notions of bees wax and lemon butter linger underneath. Lemony acidity lends freshness and energy to the long complex finish that has a waxy feel to it.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews…..
Quite an intense colour, and very appetising perfume, there’s shortbread, a hint of vanilla custard, melon skin, yellow apple. It’s ripe and spicy, full in flavour, feels somewhat broad and generous but with lovely detail and it glides through the palate, not being heavy at all. Texture and bitter grip come with yellow fruit skins, ginger, wild honey and crushed cumin aftertaste. Drinks very well now but Elizabeth surprises with time too. Drink 2024-2030+
