The 2014 Constantia Glen Five, which
we tasted on the farm this week, is at its peak and will continue to excite for
much longer. Bolder, bigger than their Three, it is a blend of Cabernet Franc,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
It has the perfume of some violets and
incense wood, a little wildness with the classic dark berry fruit. Full and satisfying on the palate, loaded with
ripe black cherries and cassis fruit, some dark chocolate and soft liquorice
and is supported by good tannins and wood. It is very hard to stop imbibing ...
