2019 Klein Constantia Vin de Constance Dessert Wine (500ml)
97 Points
"The 2019 Vin de Constance is matured for 18 months in 500-liter

Hungarian and French oak barrels, 50% new, followed by another 18

months in oak foudres. The growing season saw more sunlight hours than

previous vintages (2,998 compared to 2,588 in 2018 for example). It has an

understated nose, almost Sauternes-like even if it does not contain an

ounce of botrytis. Subtle nutty aromas percolate through the wild honey

and quince scents, wax resin and lanolin. The palate is medium-bodied

and very pure. Disarmingly fine acidity, it is slightly Germanic towards the

finish. with a hint of lemongrass lingering on the aftertaste. This is a

superb Vin de Constance under the tenure of Matt Day that is a step closer

to what you might confusingly call a non-sweet dessert wine"
