Score 93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2005
(for 500 ml.; this is actually a re-creation of the legendary Constantia wine that dates back two centuries) Medium gold. Aromas of orange liqueur, clove and honey, with a whiff of sultana raisin. Very sweet and very spicy, with vibrant acidity giving the wine shape and grip. Impressively long, brisk, palate-staining finish. Exhilarating sweet wine.
