Klein Constantia Estate Constantia Shiraz

2000 Klein Constantia Estate Shiraz 78+ Points
Lovely colour with slight russet red. Complex notes of game, wet earth and fragrant sweet spices, riper more complex structure than 2001, but sadly the fruit on the lean side, forbidding higher rating.

2001 Klein Constantia Estate Constantia Shiraz 78 Points
Toasty, brown chocolate, hints of coffee, complex with gamey notes, dry aged meat character, elegant food wine, for uncomplicated drinking

Fragrant oak, floral, dry rosemary, complex stewed fruit compote, gamey.

2004 Klein Constantia Estate Shiraz 85+ Points
Fragrant, sweet spices, very ripe red fruits, complex Old World feel, almost like tasting a 2003 Northern Rhône, ripe round tannins, supported by ripe fruit, acidity very well balanced. Very well made, and by far the best of the early 2000’s.
Now until 2012
