The nose is marked by expressive aromas of red and black fruits. Apart from these initially ripe fruit aromas, there is a complex collection of spicy, dried herbal aromas intertwined with notes of white pepper and graphite, which are laced together with a fascinating tip of cassis, blackcurrant and the most elegant spices. The dark, fruit-enriched, spicy characters illustrated on the nose effortlessly follow through to the first sip, where elegant, velvety tannins with a vibrant intensity of flavour conquer the palate. This incredible richness and concentration of fine-grained tannins is underscored by an earthy minerality, and the wine's inherent freshness results in a long, clear and precise finish. This opulent, full-bodied wine possesses old-world authenticity with its delicate herbal fynbos notes, and the powerful fruit flavours linger endlessly.

Profile

Produzent Constantia Glen

Geschacksnoten Full-bodied & powerful, Elegant, Fruity, Velvety tannins, Mature & complex, Aged in oak barrels

Vinifikation This delicious assemblage was carefully crafted from 62% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and matured for 17 months in 28% new, 60% second-fill and 12% third-fill French oak barrels. The wine was not fined but only lightly filtered to subtly soften the rich tannin structure before bottling. This elegant vintage displays the round, velvety texture that has become synonymous with the Constantia Glen THREE, but also possesses good structure and power, allowing it to be enjoyed in its youth, yet it will certainly age and evolve admirably for another 10 years post-harvest under correct cellaring conditions.
