Initialed after Brokenwood's winemaker since 1983 Ian Leslie Riggs the 2003 ILR Reserve Semillon is a barrel selection blend coming from the estate's prime vineyards (varying each year). 2003 was a hot dry year producing just 500 cases of the ILR Reserve. A little closed to begin with coaxing this wine gives youthful fragrant floral aromas of orange blossom and honeysuckle with fresh lemon juice lemongrass and a touch of black pepper. Crisp acidity intensely flavored with a light to medium body. Very long finish. Drink now to 2020+. -Lisa Perrotti-Brown
