Excellent. Sweet honey, not cloying at all with warming spices. A nice sip and went well with our fruit-centered dessert. A hit with the guests. From 375 ml

Very sweet, but with decent acidity to try to balance it out. However, it still comes off somewhat cloying.

This wine turned out to be a real treat; it was served with a coconut/lemon cream birthday cake and held up remarkably well, by being rich yet delicate. It was fun to drink. Purchase a few 375mls upon release and cellared ever since. Ullage and color were excellent. Notes are limited, but age has been very kind to this wine, by revealing a rich wine that is fully resolved and still in balance. The bright flavors of young Muscat had …

Pale green gold hue, little to no evolution. Intensely aromatic, citrus fruit, tropical fruit, orange rind. rich texture. Really not that different from the other cuvees unless you taste them side-by-side. delicious

Opened tonight because my daughter needed a Muscat for a recipe. I know - what was I thinking?! Thankfully plenty left over for the humans present. Simply amazing - drinking beautifully.

Deep straw/gold color, perfumed nose of creme brulee, honey & apricots. Lovely sweet, spicy - very long. Lots of creamy peach/apricot fruit & honey on the palate. Drinking beautifully. Could use a tad more acid to be perfect.

Delicious, Brought by Ray and Elena for dinner. Citrus, tropical fruits and honey. This would have been outstanding but missed the mark only because of light acidity, not enough to properly balance the sweetness. The stickies won out on this one. This is a really nice dessert wine and something to be proud of. Crowd pleaser and lots of discussion about the flavors and comparisons to Sauternes. We all felt this compares very well to well over 50% of Sauternes. …

Very Sauternes-like, a little cloying and out of balance. Nice unctuous, ripe tropical fruits from nose to finish. It's a mouthful of wine and dessert by itself.

Vinyl, artificial pineapple, spice, melon, lemon, apricot. Unctuous and honeyed, but still lithe and decently fresh, this was almost overpowered by pudding with caramel sauce.

Heady grapey atypical Muscat aroma. A slightly syrupy finish but a lovely, enjoyable sweet wine.

This is really lovely! Exotic honey, baked apple, ginger, vanilla aromas lead to a lazer focused core of bright, mouthwatering fruit. A truly great desert wine. Should live and improve for decades.

Straw-colored.Nose of peaches and apricots. On the palate it is smooth, dense, syrupy. Pear, peaches, melon, and lemon zest. Beautiful finish. Perhaps the finest dessert wine I've ever had.

Slightly grassy yellow in glass. Aromas of white (carnation?) and yellow flowers (daffodil?), lychee and vanilla can be smelled several inches from the glass. Rich yet light on the palate with just enough acidity -- allowing the wine to remain sweet without being cloying. On the palate there is vanilla, along with sweetened, lightly spiced apples, honey and the juice from canned pears and peaches.

Pale gold. Apricot compote with a nice Melanie of tropical fruits to provide acid. Honeyed, waxy, roasted pineapple, guava in the mouth. A beauty of a dessert wine.

Spansk vinmesse (Oslo) : Wonderful dessert wine. Very sweet, but the acidity makes it feel light and refreshing. Long aftertaste. Will definately buy some bottles.

Tasted at Acker This was sooo good! Honeydew and apricot; concentrated and rich yet with enough acidity so that it seemed light on its feet; long finish. Gorgeous.
