Klein Constantia Late Harvest 'Vin de Constance' 2001 --4+ Stars, John Platter 500ml
| "Reaching (in patented 500ml old-style bottles) for the international renown its ancestor enjoyed 2 centuries back; from usually unbotrytised but ripe Muscat de Frontignac, generally giving a long-lived, silky wine with fine mineral acidity. 2001 more obviously muscat, with floral/grapey/raisiny character; full-flavoured & sumptuous — gentler acid means effectively sweeter balance than many pvs, involving 135g/ℓ sugar, big 14.8% alc. Should acquire more complexity with time." 4+ stars, Outstanding, John Platter's Guide to South African Wine 2007. | |
