  Colour: Amber brown with some tawny hues
  Aroma: Tight lively dried fruit notes, plum pudding and spice. Fresh floral and fruit shortbread mixed with fresh rancio characters and soft dusty oak.
  Palate: Mouthfuls of fresh dried fruit; soft yet has an incredible mouth-coating viscosity. Deep rich caramel and rancio characters run through the palate complementing the layers of sweetness, acid and fine tannins. Finally, the high quality spirit is balanced and provides wonderful and reassuring warmth.

  First tasted this at Winery in Barossa and was truly impressed. 50 plus year old vines produce this Frontignac. Think caramels and nuts with a mild hint of honey. Not at all cloyingly sweet. Wonderful dessert wine that comes in a beautiful 500ml bottle and is not readily available in the U.S. Saving the last bottle for a special occasion.

  NobleRottersSydney - Two Hands wines with Ben Perkins (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {500ml, twintop, 17%, A$100} A blend of Rutherglen muscat with material from Seppeltsfield, average age 25 and 45 years respectively, packed into a flashy reverse-pyramid bottle. Brown/olive-green in colour. An immensely powerful and intense nose of toffee and caramel. The palate has astoundingly rich flavours, with medium-sweet toffee/honey/butterscotch flavours offset by appropriately powerful acidity. I suppose you’d call it full-bodied for sheer flavour, but that probably doesn’t convey the purity and freshness of the flavours. Culminates in a predictably long, balanced finish. Staggeringly good wine; worth the premium over (for instance) the Morris Old Premiums in my opinion. Fantastic.
