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 lots of sweet and dried fruit, such as apricots and mandarins, yet maintaining a citrusy freshness and texture, with a long, very sweet finish. Always energetic and lively. It has great length. It lasts for minutes. It's a sweet wine that should be drunk young to admire its intensity and verve, but also to age for decades. Drink or cellar.
