Critics Ratings
Kanu Kia-Ora Noble Late Harvest 1999:
'Bursts with enticing apricot, orange peel and maple sugar aromas and flavors. Shows good cut on the finish, where the citrus note lingers. Made from Hárslevelü. Drink now through 2003.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Oct 2001)
Cape Point Vineyards Semillon Noble Late Harvest 2000:
'Sauternes-styled 00 still not fully evolved; oaky whiffs behind clean pear/apricot intensity. Flavoursome, luscious; sweetness brilliantly counteracted by acidity.92% semillon with sauvignon, muscat, plus unauthorised (for Sauternes) smidgeon chardonnay.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2003, 'excellent' 4*
