Tasting Notes: Mid-reddish brown to amber at the rim. Aromatic raisiny/floral scents/hint of spirit. Initial sweetness and raisiny flavours linger to reveal complex hints of honey and lemons. Some rancio character. Underlying structure of tannin and well-integrated spirit. Finish is long and the honeyed flavours return and linger.

This wine is nearly flawless. Fabulously perfumed as well as unctuously textured, it offers incredible notes of prunes, raisins, honey, molasses, roasted nuts, etc., etc. Australia continues to be a treasure trove for fortified, after-dinner wines. Once bottled, they do not change, and often age up to a decade where well stored. After opening, most will last for a week. This is one of the top wine discoveries of this year’s tastings. Many consumers are going to be overjoyed with this offering.
Rated 97/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #143 (Oct 2002)
The Premium Fine Muscat is a spectacular wine and an outra_geous value. It is creamy, rich and viscous showing rose petal, toffee, and caramel with honey and a sweet black cherry note on the finish. Complex and highly aromatic with a lush palate, it’s difficult to find a much better after dinner wine than this. Keep a few bottles in the pantry or cellar to provide an easy and dramatic end to the meal. Made from dry-farmed vines and aged in oak, solera style.
Rated 93/100 International Wine Review
This is a wine that makes me a little speechless with hard candy licorice and prune. Full body, very sweet and rich. Layered. A creme brulee finish. Intense. Drink now.
