- Thraz - 12-27-2007 15%, $10 at Total for 375ml. This is a co-op bottling. I am not normally a fan of muscat, I often find it too orangey, especially in its sweet form such as in this wine. However, this particular bottling is great. Very fruity on the nose, just a little orange on the palate and also some apricot, great length. Everyone at the table was impressed. A very worthy alternative to Sauternes. It is very, very sweet and yet I thought it managed not to be cloying, as I find some overly sweet sauternes can be. I recommend it highly. |
