On the nose nice aromas of vanilla, ripe yellow stone fruit, a whiff of apricot. Medium(+) bodied, dry and smooth, showing subtle vanilla, creamy notes and ripe yellow stone fruit with firm acidity. A bit linear but still very good at this juvenile stage.

Pale lemon colour. Light and developing nose with yellow apples, toast, bread dough, cream and wet leaves. Medium taste of yellow apples, bread dough, cream and wet leaves. Medium long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A good South African Semillon that lacks length and concentration. Drink now or over the next five years. Goes well with cheeses or fish.

As per note of September '20. Drinking this case far too quickly! Excellent as it is but with potential for even greater things given a few years of improbable self control. Now and probably for 15 years from vintage. 90+

Fantastic - start white wine of recent South African whites. Full bodied and rich, peach fruit. Quite golden colour but taste of oxidisation
