August 12, 2021 - Groot Constantia Zoom tasting. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, purple colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, vanilla milk oak, ripe strawberry, red plum, black cherries, bit of licorice and cocoa powder. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol, soft rounded medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Meidum+ flavour intensity, with flavours of vanilla milk, cocoa powder dust, sweet red plum, ripe strawberries, black cherries, touch of licorice and sweet spice. Long finish with some tannic bite.
Good quality. Maybe about a year or 2 for the oak to integrate better, but otherwise if not for oak sensitive folks, seems quite ready already.
