Cape of Good Hope Laing Sémillon 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Citrusdal Mountain
R160
Tasting notes on the 2020 vintage::
'Richness, detail & depth from well-farmed old vines; here Citrusdal Mountain’s Henk Laing the hero. 2020 slightly weightier than last-tasted 2017 (96 pts) from bigger old-oaked portion (75% vs 23%) & higher alcohol (13.5% vs 12.5%); similar quince, lemon thyme & earth notes, waxy roundness, with vigorous mineral acid, a finish that builds & builds.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (97/100)
'An ethereal lemon verbena perfume overlays a deeper, creamy lemon and citrus wax aroma. The palate’s taut, zippy, bright lemon zing is moderated by a toned and harmonious vanilla and butterscotch smoothness from some oak maturation which will only serve to aid the wine’s complexity with time. Vital and bristling with youthful vigour, the fresh acid vibrancy adds its own twang. Focussed and precise, this wine will age with distinction.' – Winemaker
