Unfortunately they refuse to go to screwtop and the variability of the cork can be a problem. I have six bottles of the 1996 Semillon, and two of them have slightly different color. I have been fortunate in my life to only have about 9 corked bottles out of over a thousand bottles of wine, but 5 of them have been from Waverley Estate. While they are willing to replace them, for some of them, it is impossible to replace them. But a 20 year old Semillon from Waverley Estate is a drink of the Gods! I have heard the 1996 Semillon is closest in style to the 1990 Semillon, but I have not tried one yet. Check Meerea Park Alexander Munro or Terracotta Semillon as they are great for the money also.

I had 2 bottles of this wine (my wedding anniversary year) and took one to Tetsuya's for my 40th a few years back. Unfortunately, it had a bad cork and was completely oxidised. It didn't matter too much on the night because we had so many other great wines. However, I still have the other bottle, and I might now give it another go. It's one of the least well known Hunter Semillons but I do remember being very impressed when I tasted it at cellar door. The Tyrrell's '99 Vat 1 is one of my favourites so if it gets anywhere close I'll be happy.Rgds,Paul B
