Green-tinged brown color. Intensely perfumed bouquet shows a strong spicy character and scents of orange peel, clove, nutmeg and brown sugar. Deeply sweet but not excessively thick, avoiding any syrupy character. Zesty orange peel and spices on the palate, with sweeter pit fruit and caramel notes on the back end. Impressively vibrant for a fortified wine, with strong finishing spiciness and a hint of bitter orange.
Deeper, green-tinged tawny color. Highly exotic nose combines Thai spices and dried herbs . Juicy, fruity and fascinating. As dense, sweet and fat as this is, it's also quite penetrating and brisk, not to mention clean and pure. Offers an exhilarating sugar/acid balance and finishes with an intriguing suggestion of orange and clove tea. A standout in this price range.
Medium amber with a light olive-green edge. Delicately perfumed, rancio muscat aromas of caramel, citrus, raisin, orange rind, clove and cinnamon. Long, smooth and silky; forward and concentrated, with plumcake-like fruit. Clean and savory on the finish, with lingering nutty, chocolatey flavors and a sardine oil-like suggestion of muscadelle.

So good that I want more

I tried a bottle of this extraordinary muscat and grew to love it so much. This Muscat adds a sweet and refined note to my green herbs salad dressing, green peppercorn steak sauces, and Strawberries compote. I must order more!

A lovely dessert wine, as good as Steve Tanzer claimed.

Tremendously rich, bursting at the seams. Think date syrup and crushed walnuts. Endless finish that gets progressively more walnut/walnut skin as it goes on. Impressive. Very similar to the Buller Premium Fine Tokay but the finish on this one seems endless.

Nice.

Not as good as Yalumba's Museum, which has a bit better integration and sophistication form my taste, but still quite nice at $12/bottle. Caramel, candied citrus rind, honey, and a touch of ginger on the nose. Very clean tasting with a bit of a boozy finish, but hey, it's a dessert wine. Serve with cheesecake and be very happy.

Deeply sweet, needs a bit of foreground.

Big, thick, sweet mouthful of carmel with a chocolate touch and a hint of musk. Overly viscous to my taste, not quite enough to pop the flavor forward. I favor the orange hint of the Yalumba Museum, though this is still a luscious sip. I have more reviews at spiritofwine.blogspot.com

Sweet-Tooth?

Thick, rich and smooth, though a tad cloying (for my taste) with some mustiness in the nose.

A very smooth Desert Muscat that excellently compliments a final course with its delicious texture. My father and I enjoyed this muscat so much the first time we opened a bottle he brought back from australia, we both bought cases (Note: For those in the region, the Carolina Wine Company in Cary, NC offered it for $84.00/case (December 2003). At that price, I bought two. True Story: At a recent dinner party we opened up 1982 and 1985 burgandies for our guests, fellow wine connasieurs, and then eventually moved on to dessert. In lieu of fine port (which nowadays are climbing into ridiculously high price ranges), we brought out a couple bottles of this rich desert muscat to rave reviews. With quality Port becomming so difficult to stock for a reasonable price, I highly recommend this Australian Muscat in its stead.
