Critics Ratings
'Offers a lovely amber color, with blood orange, bitter almond, clove, green tea and dried persimmon notes backed by a noticeably spicy Muscat hint on the finish. More rustic and broader than the other vintages, and not quite as deep or long.--Non-blind Vin de Constance vertical. Drink now through 2017. 2,425 cases made.' - Wine Spectator, 90/100 (2010)
'Not a botrytis wine. '89 gorgeously perfumed, deep-gold hued, honeyed, hints of marmalade. Estate's 4th re-enactment of Cape's most glorious wine times, two centuries ago. In traditional squat black 500ml bottle. From Muscat de Frontignan.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 1994, 4*
