November 2, 2014 - Very sweet, but nicely balanced and excellent flavors of golden raisins and white flower petals. Great value.

October 31, 2010 - A clear, medium gold wine with muscular legs. The nose is of medium+ intensity with aromas of hazlenuts, honeysuckle, and a touch of kerosine. On the palate, this sweet dessert wine has weight to it. On the palate, it is medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol, medium+ body with no perceptible tannins. The flavors are pronounced with baked orchard fruit, cinnamon, honey and some hazlenut. It will coat your mouth and the flavors will linger for a long time. Overall a very good wine that is ready to drink but will keep.

November 20, 2007 - 100% Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (aka Moschato in Greece). Made by the vin doux method in stainless steel tanks, the Muscat is harvested then pressed and the juice is fortified almost immediately. Almost no fermentation takes place therefore all the alcohol is spirit based and sweetness of the wine comes naturally from the Muscat juice. The wine is then transferred to very large old oak barrels for further aging. Medium gold color with an aromatic nose of honey suckle, ripe golden peaches, and tangerine. Powerful on the palate with candied pears, canned apricots, and fresh honey. This wine is sweet, full-bodied, with fresh acidity, and a very long luscious finish. This is a good dessert wine with lots of ripe fruit characteristics though it lacks a bit of acidity but overall a great deal. 3/5
