Community Tasting Notes 1

June 20, 2021 - A dessert wine made from Muškat grapes. 13% alcohol.
Quite deep and concentrated lemon yellow color with faint youthful lime-green highlights. Distinctive, waxy and somewhat atypical nose with aromas of earthy exotic spices like turmeric, powdered coriander seeds and saffron, some notes of leather and waxy funk, a little bit of candied ginger, light floral notes of apple blossom, a developed hint of creaminess, a touch of bitter orange zest and a grappe-like whiff of fusel alcohol. The wine is lively and moderately sweet but not super-rich on the palate - more medium-sweet than truly sweet - with a balanced, rather full body, slightly oily mouthfeel and somewhat evolved flavors of lemon marmalade, some ripe peach, light stony mineral tones, a little bit of candle wax, a hint of candied ginger and a touch of damp wool. The wine is quite tasty but at the same time somewhat odd. The moderately high acidity helps the wine retain good sense of balance. The finish is fresh, lively and quite long with medium-sweet-to-rather sweet flavors of lemon marmalade, evolved woolly notes, a little bit of stony minerality, light waxy notes of candle wax, a hint of ginger and a floral touch of elderflower.
A quite tasty, very characterful and also somewhat odd dessert wine that isn't super sweet nor aromatically particularly typical for a Muscat. Yes, there are some floral notes, but there are lots of somewhat odd, spicy tones, woolly undertones and a distinctive streak of candle wax. I found the wine quite enjoyable for what it is, but truth be told, if I was to select a sweet wine for desserts or a cheese platter, this might not be my first choice. It's a good wine, but perhaps best suited to quench academic curiosity. Priced according to its quality at 13€ for a half bottle.
