Rijk's Private Cellar Semillon 2003

Deep straw colour which is proof of a well extracted wine with loads of ripe fruit. Spicy nose with dashes of peach and tropical (gooseberry) fruits. Well balanced, juicy mouthfeel, which leaves as lingering complex kiwi fruit/tropical fruit/passion fruit aftertaste.
