Good
"I found this needed a vigorous swirl to release all the aromas. After it was all a bit hard to resist. I finished by saying, 'This is surprisingly good.' There's butterscotch toffee, a hint of treacle, wild honey and muscaty grapey flavours, silky smooth almost lush texture and an irresistible finish with a touch of sweetness."

"There’s certainly consistency here. I said this last year and it’s worthy repeating: ‘Many will find this hard to resist.’ It has malt, butterscotch and honey flavours and lush texture, and is deliciously sweet."

Peter Forrestal, Quaff 2010, October 2009

"Many will find this hard to resist: sweet raisin, honey and toffee flavours, silky smooth almost lush texture, good richness and concentration before a clean, fresh finish."

"Lovely honeyed aromas with just a dash of spice. Complex muscat flavours layered with freshly roasted toffee characters. Rich and sweet."

, Winestate, Cask Wines, March 2008

"Like sherry, liqueur muscat is perfectly suited to casks. This is a delicious muscat, fragrant with heady aromas of fruitcake and spice, and intense and full flavoured on the palate. It's the ideal end to a meal, with cheese or a chocolate dessert."

Nick Ryan, Australian Table, May 2007


"Light brown tinged. True to style with lifted candied peel, raisins and roasted almonds on the nose. Very sweet with caramelised Christmas pudding flavours and clean rancio complexity. 'Liquid velvet,' enthused one judge."

, Winestate, April 2007

"Delightfully aromatic, fresh, clean and lively with grapey, honeyed flavours and cleansing acidity, which balances its sweetness. This is terrific for a 4-litre cask, showing richness and intensity as well as good varietal character. Grapey flavours linger on its finish. Rating: Bloody Good."
