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

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 metamorphosed into a favor profile of golden sugars, pear, apple and light notes of toffee. It is really remarkable and a good example of a dessert wine that is not Sauvignon Blanc based. Drink now. Wish I had a few more bottles to taste outside of the distractions of a celebration. :-)

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

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

Beautiful stuff over a couple of nights pairing with cheese boards. Rich, balanced, honey, apricot, orange marmalade. Lots going on here.
