Do you want texture? Do you want full bodied white wines? You can have all this with the zesty nature of Semillon collapsed in the one bottle. Does it taste like your normal Belford? Well yes, it is a little more full bodied than the other wines of the same year but this isn't ready for consumption right now. The palate is tight and reserved with elements of lime dried flowers with spice and quince paste taking a secondary performance. The block that Belford comes from was planted so long ago that the wine, year in year out, seems to produce a pearler but the 2012 is one of the better ones.
