97 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2021 Kokerboom is a blend of Semillon and Semillon Gris that is whole bunch pressed and aged in foudres. Quite steely on the nose with hints of yellow plum and lanolin, it's well-defined with a marine influence that becomes more prominent with time. The palate is wonderful: vibrant with yellow fruit, hints of nectarine and pink grapefruit that lend a welcome touch of sourness on the finish. This is a multi-faceted Semillon Blanc/Gris that is fabulous and intellectual. Drink: 2024-2045. (Sep 2022)"
95+ points Anthony Mueller (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Old Vine Series Kokerboom offers a waxy and dusty nose with hints of lime yogurt and lemon meringue and elements of spiced white tea. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts to life with vivacious energy and focus, exploding with sweet citrus flavors without being overdone. Composed of Sémillon and Sémillon Gris, the wine will remain food-friendly until its 20th birthday and perhaps beyond. Drink: 2024-2041. (Dec 2022)"
94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Henk Laing may have left us earlier this year, but the vineyard that he made famous lives on in wines like Kokerboom. Sourced from a 1.5-hectare block planted in the 1930s, this blend of Semillon and 20% Semillon Gris is rich, bold and exotic, with peach, apricot and ginger spice flavours and supporting freshness and minerality. 2022-27. (2022)"
