  May 12, 2018 - This was dark garnet colored, medium full bodied, complex and fruit forward yet elegantly balanced and nicely polished with a symphony of flavors: ripe black currant and black berry fruits with exotic spices, notes of licorice, hints of sweet mocha tobacco leaf and leather. This is the best Constant of the half dozen vintages we hold in our cellar.

  April 5, 2013 - Drinking really well right now and probably for another couple years at least. Nice nose, sweet and somewhat big. Tannins nice and round. Fruit balanced nicely with the tannins. Lotta blackberry that becomes more evident on the finish. Alcohol hidden. More like a St Julien Bordeaux than a Napa Cab.
