Klein Constantia
Vin de Constance – 2020
98 Points
James Suckling: Exceptional aromas of white peaches, apricots, vanilla and flowers. Full-bodied and very sweet with many sweet and dried fruits, like apricots and tangerines, yet it maintains a citrusy freshness and texture, with a long, very sweet finish. Always energetic and vibrant. It has great length. It lingers for minutes. It's a sweet wine that should be drunk young to admire the intensity and momentum, but also to age for decades. Drink or hold.
