Yes, lots of flowers, as the name suggests. Lots of honey and raisins as well. Alcohol shines through quite clearly (15%). The same notes in the mouth, and as the acidity is quite low, the finish, though not extremely short, is powered by the combination of sweetness and alcohol.

Intensity medium. Blueberry, black tea, raisins, herbal. Acidity medium (+). Finish medium. Not sure where the drinking window was based on, but this bottle was still alive and well. Decent dessert wine, just as much as you would expect in this price range.

Six years on and we bought another bottle of the NV Moscatel for a group tasting. As before, the nose showed honeyed fragrance and flowers. Good fruit but with very high residual sugar. Attractive complexity with orange peel flavours which came through better after a couple of days in the fridge. Fair value for a well-made and unusual sweet wine.

Black tea in the bouquet. On the palate raisins and a lot of sweetness and some ok acidity to balance it.
