Klein Constantia Vin de Constance - 2007 (500ml) South Africa graphite and melted tar emerge

graphite and melted tar emerge from this dark garnet/plum-colored 1994

Klein Constantia Vin de Constance - 2007 (500ml) South Africa graphite and melted tar emergeBurnished copper in colour with alluring, exotic aromas of Turkish Delight intermingle with fragrant honeysuckle, citrus peel and clove spiciness. Unctuously sweet, deeply complex and concentrated tropical and Seville orange marmalade flavours are lifted by a fine acid thread to a satisfyingly long, delicious and lipsmackingly vibrant finish.
