  Popped and poured. Dark golden. This comes on with lovely flavors of marmalade, brown sugar, honey treacle and molasses. Excellent acidity and reasonably focused even at this age. I would drink these soon as I don’t think they will get much better.

  Tired an worn out. Still an ok sweet wine but it did not cause us to run back to the bottle for more like other bottles we've had. Peach and pear, moderate sweetness an off-balance finish showing a touch of tartness 85

  Popped and poured. Medium and dark golden. This has a terrific noble nose of pineapple, quince and spice. The wine is delicious, medium bodied, suave and elegant. The palate has marmalade, tropical fruits and cinnamon. Overall this was really terrific and is in a perfect drinking window. Fully mature but this can continue to age over the next ten years.

  It's not often I get to taste a Vin de Constance, especially with some ageing. Opened and drunk immediately to accompany a chocolate dessert, which paired well. Medium orange colour, the nose and palate show several fruit flavours, e.g. orange, pineapple, tropical fruit. This is a delicious wine, with rich flavours and great length. I'm sure it would keep for another 10-20 years if we hadn't opened it.
