Buitenverwachting Constantia Christine 2005 89 Points



Bright garnet with slight brown rim.
Clean, high intensity, peppery and paprika note at first with aeration reveals dark red cherries, blackcurrant, earthy, black olives in brine, spicy oak still present with tobacco and cedar wood, but integrated.
Dry with moderate plus acidity, high alcohol evident with moderate plus tannins, plush texture, red fruits confit follows through, spicy farewell, long. Now until 2020
