Buitenverwachting Husseys Vlei Constantia Chardonnay 2005 revisited 95 Points

Had a bottle recently, my last one! and it is impressive to note the wine have not only get better but it seems to have stop it's ageing track and confidently idling!...............wandering what's next! still so full of energy, has taken just a slight nutty complexity with the so elusive match stick complexity, so Burgundian half way Puligny have way Beaune with soupcon of Montrachet charm....!Multilayered, striking with focus acidity along with a fine mineral thread,lends ultra charm and captivating complexity, WOW this Single vineyard offering, is certainly a testament of one of the finest South African Chardonnay ever made, well done Hermann Kirschbaum & Brad Paton.


Another testament of South African wines greatness, the world have yet to see the full potential of this amazing wine country, we only scratching the surface!
