From a bottle purchased around 2002-2003. Dark color, Great floral nose with orange blossom and a hint of sweetness. Medium bodied, sweet but not cloying. Peach and orange marmalade with enough acid to balance the sweetness and keep the alcohol in balance. Flavors carry through on the finish. Served cool, this bottle seemed a little more balanced than some I remember from a decade ago. Stored at 55 degrees, I wouldn't be surprised if these are still good in a decade. 91 points.

Med tawny. Pronounced aromas of dried peach, dried apricot, caramel, biscuit, Earl Grey, orange peel, brown sugar, black tea. Luscious, med acidity, full body, med alcohol, soft low tannins, long finish. Damn tasty.

Pale amber with copper hints and high viscosity (18% ABV). The nose is stunning. Intense aromas of blood orange marmalade, honey, pretty florals, dried orange peel- it's very linear but full on. The palate is sweet, smooth and luscious with medium (+) acidity to counter the sugar. Full bodied, this wine just lays on your tongue and lets it soak up the rich flavors of orange marmalade, spun honey, bitter almond and blossom. The finish is long, super long. An amazing and delicious wine to savor for dessert that will improve with age- they say a Rutherglen Muscat is indestructible. 94 points for this $18 per half bottle wine that gets 5 stars. I might be back for more.

Deep amber
Pronounced on the nose with blossom, peach, currant, orange peel, caramel, dried apricot, and marmalade. Fully developed.
Pronounced and sweet on the palate. Medium alcohol, full body, medium plus acidity, light tannins, long finish.
Drink now. Not suitable for aging or further aging.
Really enjoyable first Rutherglen Muscat. Paired very well with Christmas pudding!
