Had with home made strawberry pie. I've never been fully convinced of the merits of muscat blanc for dessert wine but i'd say it went well with the otherwise dominating strawberry pie. Powerful floral notes combined with fresh acids, a relatively high alcohol percentage and a not-to-sweet finish. I still think i'd prefer a riesling/semillion/sauvignon blanc dessert wine for future reference. The wife liked it however so I will probably be tasting it again anytime soon.

Enjoyable, but not outstanding. Huge contrast between the nose and the palate. Bright, citrusy and acidic aroma. But then on the palate it becomes much heavier and fruitier- lime, apple. Good balance between the sweetness and acidity. "Sauternes light" would be a good way to describe this.

Juicy tropical fruit with medium body. Retains enough acidity to balance with the sweetness.

Almost clear; palest green tint. Tropical fruit, green apple on the nose. Sweet, but not sticky or cloying. Some acidity and a decently long finish.

Stoney and steely with bright acid and tropical fruits. Not what I expected, more of lighter Sauternes style. Pretty good.
