The 2015 Vin de Constance is a thing of real beauty. It opens with a nose of fresh apricot, orange blossom, fresh orange zest, and a hint of cardamom, while on the palate this is all about balance and precision. There's finesse to the texture, with incredible depth and complexity without any sense of cloyingness. A brilliant wine from the talented Matt Day: the greatest yet?

Even better than the 2014 release - and that was a spectacular sweet wine - the 2015 Vin de Constance is one of the greatest ever vintages of this iconic sticky. More Barsac than Sauternes in terms of weight, it’s fresh and refined, a bit like the 2012, with citrus and orange zest balancing the 172 grams of sugar. The oak is perfectly judged, the length and freshness things of wonder. Drink 2019-2030.
