Critics Ratings

'Pure orange peel, tangerine, persimmon and clementine flavors are laced with hints of green tea, candied lime peel and honeysuckle. Rich, but racy and mouthwatering. The gorgeous amber color and a caressing mouthfeel just add to the pleasure. Lovely precision. Should age nicely.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (2010)

'Burnt caramel, marmalade, oranges, knife-edge acidity, lots of sticky sugar on the finish - but not at all cloying, Great length, complex, generous and broad.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Sep 2010)

'Iconic dessert from unbotrytised muscat de F. No 03; 04 charming peach & spicy-nutty cream. Less intense than some yrs, but still luscious & dense. 130 g/l RS, 14.2% alc in full, rich finish. 05 sleeker; gleaming acidity in different, finer balance (160 g/l RS; 12.2% alc). Lovely floral depth, precise long-lingering finish. These reward 5-10+ yrs in cellar with more complexity. ± 3 yrs in combo steel, oak.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (2009)
