Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2017

This bottle is in 50cl format. 

97/100 - The 2017 Vin de Constance is lucid silvery-straw in hue. It is beautifully defined on the nose, featuring scents of dried honey, almond, praline and pressed yellow flowers, perhaps borrowing some of the airiness of the 2016 vintage. The palate is underpinned by a keen line of acidity that effortlessly counterbalances the richness of this 2017, making it one of the easiest sweet wines to drink in its youth. It conveys plenty of energy with a very persistent orange peel, quince and marmalade finish, then a spicy aftertaste. Sublime. Sample sent from Klein Constantia. - Neal Martin, Vinous 

18/20 - Lustrous mid gold. Dried apricot, orange blossom and citrus peels on the nose, suffused with nutmeg, clove and coffee cream, and an earthy, spicy, saffron-like note. Richly sweet and unctuously textured, but with a streak of acidity that balances beautifully, and gives a preserved grapefruit and lemon flavour. Fantastic length. - Tim Jackson MW, JancisRobinson.com

97/100 - One of the great sweet wines of the world, just hover your nose over the glass to be transported by its lyricism, power and concentration. This tiptoes between lemon curd and smoked toffee richness and a more pointed rosemary, lime blossom and jasmine florality. It's full of character and life, succulent and fresh, with a salted caramel twist that gives a savoury finish. 3.7pH. - Jane Anson, Decanter
