  Delicate and delicious. Peach, almond and really quite floral.

  Very rich and powerful. Orchard fruit, toasty, waxy and floral. Long evolving finish. Cleary a well made wine, but slightly too much oak for my preference.
  
  Pale lemon.
  
  Pronounced aromas of toasted brioche, peach, pear, tangerine, beeswax, lemon curd, marmalade, white blossoms, wet slate, flint, chamomile, honeysuckle, seam foam.
  
  Pronounced palate.
  
  Medium body, high acidity, long evolving finish.

  Lots of reduction and oak on the nose against lemon pledge. Pay attention to other reviews - needs more time.

  Plenty of time - but far too moreish to resist!
  Should really be held till next year to further develop. 2024 onwards.

  Amazing floral nose although not an aromatic grape. New world.
  Semillon indicated on label but apparently small amount of muscat added as well.
  70% new oak and 30% concrete. Furniture making wood…reminds me of Rocking Horse, another South African white wine blend that turns the wood into furniture.
