Pours light gold in the glass. The nose isn't terribly expressive. Considering it's age I was glad to find it wasn't totally oxidized. Aromas of beeswax, dried lemon, dried apple, dried herbs, herbal bitters, and a touch of smoke. The palate is perhaps a touch off dry with medium minus acid, finishing a bit short and bitter on dried lemon and beeswax. 88 points is perhaps a tad generous here, but I'm giving it points. for being a 21 year old Muscat and not being dead.

This wine was long past its prime and this was something expected after ten years in the bottle. Oxidative with a smell that reminded me of dill. No muscat aromas descernible. Very acidic also. Despite all that it was not repulsive and with some good will and lack of another option it was consumed.
