  Outstanding semillon with superior character and style. All that I expect from a good Lovedale Semillon. I sensed it could improve even more over the next 4 year. However, excellent drinking now.

  This is just barely getting started.
  
  Just beginning to speak with some fluidity, it is now lemon, slight nutty and has some floral notes. Body consists of lime / lemon, rich with fantastic acidity to drive it to the end. Great mouthfeel and can only get better with a structured and creamy finish. A voice that can go a lot higher if you give it more time.
  
  Drink now or to 15+ years.

  Light golden, straw coloured. Nose of beeswax and honeyed lemon. Lovely zinging acidity, dancing along the tongue. 11.5% ABV. This wine is absolutely singing. 93+.

  Frightfully young given it’s 15 years in the bottle, thanks to the screw cap. Beautifully ripe grapefruit and candied lemon peel, candle wax and lanolin, acid backbone of steel, long piercing finish. Many more years of development ahead but glad to try it now to see how it evolves and an absolute pleasure to taste.
  
  Edit: day 2 and this wine has opened up beautifully, still tightly wound but the fruit is bright and out there all over the palate with fresh cut grass and fresh herbs. Fantastic wine with a long future ahead, upping my score 2 points from 92 to 94

  This has hardly progressed since two years ago. An attractive floral nose, thrilling tension, needs another 5 years.
