  Wow I’m blown away. So much life and verve for a 13 year old Niagara white. Sweet pineapple, peach, cantaloupe, honey. Just gorgeous. Can definitely age for another 3-5 years.

  Upon first opening this 13 year old 2010 re-release I was worried the wine had been cellared too long as it pours a deep golden yellow and the nose was quite reticent.
  
  After just a bit of time in glass the aromas come to life and explode from the glass. Complex, harmonized notes of smoked honey, grilled pineapple, stone, caramel and melon. Every time my nose was in the glass I found something new.
  
  Rich, textural with powerful acids and warm alcohol. Dry but yet sweet.
  
  Flavours add herbs and ginger. Exceptional length.
  
  At peak. Drink now through 2025.

  Left this one in the cellar a little too long. Not fully oxidized and still drinkable, but certainly on a decline.

  Lovely, after 10 years was extremely interested in how this be drinking - Deep gold, caramel, honey and vanilla oak on the nose, bright acidity, yet creamy smooth, sweet, long on the palate and just perfect with the Peri Peri Salmon we had alongside, just a wonderful treat from our cellar!!

  Really delicious. The Semillion stood out in this well balanced wine. Nice minerality, full body, good finish.
