Klein Constantia

Anwilka Petit Frère Syrah Blend

I really love this wine, and bought several bottles after a SA wine tasting. Unfortunately I didn’t keep good notes, but I remember it being easy drinking and a good pairing with food or alone. — 6 years ago

Riesling 2000

Förtrollande färg. Honung, saffran, torkade kryddor, nektarin och lite kex. Angränsar halvtorr men nog den ganska låga syran som lurar än. Oavsett, väldigt gott. — 6 years ago

Since @India Okoh was slaying it in Constantia visiting Klein Constantia, Groot Constantia and Eagle’s Nest Wines, I decided to find some aged South African wine to drown my sorrows.

Bought this on a whim. How often do you get a chance to 27 year old South African Bordeaux blend? Unless you know somebody probably almost never. We got lucky and found this in a liquor store in Johannesburg for R170.00 it around $11.00.

No seepage and capsule intact. The cork was a little depressed and no ullage issues. Upon opening the cork completely fell apart with a light brown edge and medium garnet core. Woody nose with a touch of black cherries, mulberries, cedar and damp spices. Solid acidity making your mouth pucker with a light plus to medium bodied. Aged palate with leather, dried cherries, cedar, damp forest floor and a tad tart in the medium finish. Very impressive for a 27 year old. Drink now.

Anwilka

Stellenbosch Cabernet-Shiraz Blend 2005

Greg Ballington
9.3

Deep garnet in color. Nose has started to wear off, very light charcoal and earthy tones. There are some undertones of black fruit. Starts off earthy and lots of dark fruits like plums on the palate. Additionally the palate was slightly toasty. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and moderate body. Finish was long and lingered. Not surprised by the power of this wine even after 10 years and the dark fruits on the palate. A little disappointed by the nose but still a delicious wine. After tasting this we will be making a stop by Klein Constantia tomorrow! — 9 years ago
