Klein Constantia,
Ready, but will keep,
It certainly lives up to the billing: exhilaratingly, almost sherbet-scented with fresh nectarine-stone, orange & pink grapefruit notes; the palate's very clean, crisp & vibrant with shreds of tangy seville orange peel marmalade resonating on the finish; this Muscat de Frontignan/Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains wine is balanced by 140 grams of residual sugar. Still a legend in its own right & worth the detour.
Anwilka,
Ready, but will keep,
Bordeaux pair Hubert de Bouard (Angelus) and Bruno Prats (formerly of Cos d'Estournel) along with South African Lowell Jooste of Klein Constantia Estate have produced a fabulous 2006. Low yielding vineyards along with the expertise of the team behind it have combined to give this wine some real class at staggering value.
This is a brilliant, vibrant and precise expression of great winemaking. The joyous blend of ripe black Cabernet and Shiraz work wonderfully together on both nose and palate. The discernable dollop of sexy Merlot acts to smooth off the edges of this wine to give an all round great bottle for the price. A real treat.
