  Very expressive. Lots of honey, clove, lemon, vibrant acidity. My first time tasting Alsacian Muscat. Really enjoyed

  5.7 g/l acidity, 8 g/l residual sugar. Medium golden yellow. In the nose, there are hints of grapey aromas, flowers with a scent somewhere in between aromatic and smelly, strong notes of mushrooms and some wax. This is extremely expressive, but not clean and clear, yet quite intriguing. On the palate, this is dryish, grapey again, not bitter. It has a fairly mild acidity, nicely spreads out in the mouth. Very long finish, good drinkability. A polarizing wine due to its "dirty" botrytis notes, but I love it for what it is.

  Similar to last bottle. Decent but lots better available for the money.

  Pop and pour, this was golden to amber in color with a lot more residual than I remember. It has an apricot and peach nose with an earthy undercurrent. Interesting but not intriguing. Off-dry palate with some orchard fruits again and the earthy, almost a mushroom character in the mid-palate. Acidity a bit lacking for my palate. Just not my choice of wine - varietal or producer. I'm glad I got this for $25, full retail (at least what they ask in TX is way too much for this bottle.

  Golden color like an ale. A floral and earthy aroma. It tastes much like a mild marmalade, both sweet and tangy. This is our first Muscat and my wife and I would both vote it not our cup of tea. Not bad, just not our style. We would share the sentiment expressed by another reviewer in that we found it more intriguing than enjoyable.
