Lea & Sandeman review
The legendary, stunning sweet wine from Klein Constantia, recommended even by Jane Austen for 'its healing powers on a disappointed heart'.Other reviews and comments
An iconic wine, and the 2005 has that essential acid backbone to keep everything dynamic and fresh. Seductive, expressive, peach, jasmine and angelica. Very long.
Drink: 2012-2020
***** 18.5
Decanter Magazine
‘Rich, ripe and jam packed with fruit flavours, this is a nicely sweet wine without being cloying. There’s a nice freshness on the finish too.’ 2010 Silver List Sommelier Wine Awards.
Imbibe magazine
Pure orange peel, tangerine, persimmon and Clementine flavours are laced with hints of green tea, candied lime peel and honeysuckle. Rich, but racy and mouthwatering. The gorgeous amber
color and a caressing mouthfeel just add to the pleasure. Lovely precision. Should age nicely.
The Wine Spectator
Offers lovely purity, with fresh-cut white peach and green fig aromas and flavors blazing along, while nectarine, lemon zest, honeysuckle and mineral notes extend the very long, precise finish. This has depth, length and cut. Muscat de Frontignan. Drink now through 2016.
94/100
