  Rating this is not exactly fair to the wine as this bottle was given to me by a friend who was moving and who doesn't regularly drink wine. She had owned it for years when I got it so it was obviously going to be way past its prime.
  
  Blending Riesling is a bit of a curveball. I could see this wine used as a less sweet dessert wine. This particular bottle was from 2011 so it was old and had developed the nutty, almond and butterscotch signs of age. Nonetheless, it was worth a try rather than to simply pour it out. I have been positively surprised by old whites that were not age-worthy before!

  Lightly sweet, easy to drink. Would be best in the summer or as a less-sweet dessert wine.

  mauvais. sucré (ce qui peut être une qualité) mais désagréable dans ce cas-ci. Pas pour moi.

  Time has not been friendly to this bottle. (12 month in my cellar) The Chard bite lead the way and almost overwhelmed the Muscato. I had it very cold (39F) and flavors were washed together. Acid and biting with little else to offer. I'm sure some of the issue is from the excessively cold wine but I've compensated for that in my scoring.
