  We cannot imagine a more perfect dessert wine. This was cellared appropriately from the start, and it showed. The complex flavor profile and rich, luscious texture together were a showcase for what Muscat can be when aged. The light honey color was complemented by a broad range of tropical fruits, floral and citrus notes with a hint of minerality. I don’t have a great vocabulary for this wine as I’ve never had anything quite like it that was this good. We paid $10 for this half bottle in 1992!

  Liquid manuka honey colour. The wine delivered scents of marzipan, butterscotch, apricot and a distant hint of citrus. Rich and concentrated palate with a silky texture and sufficient acidity to provide lift. Tropical fruit flavours fanned out across the impressive finish that was not overly sweet. Delicious with lots of life remaining for well-stored bottles.

  Wine was properly stored from purchase upon release until consumed. Spectacular wine, perfectly developed and fully integrated.
