Product information "Groot Constantia Gouverneurs Reserve 2016"
Groot Constantia Governor's Reserve is the flagship of the world famous winery. It presents itself with an absolutely stunning bouquet of ripe black fruits. Nuances of ripe plums, blackcurrants and notes of well integrated oak pamper in combination with fragrant hints of fine vanilla. The already sniffed aromas of black fruit and oak wood are seamlessly carried through to the lush, soft and supple palate, where they are perfectly complemented by subtle leathery notes and nuances of tobacco. The tight tannin promises a great storage potential. A very great Constantia wine!
