James Halliday – JAMES HALLIDAY- A shift to older wines: older base average and longer time in wood than the generic regional expression. A mahogany hue. Date, dried fig and the whiff of the Moroccan souk coming into play: dried apricot, ginger, cardamon and turmeric. This tier is stellar value, offering an opportunity to explore among the finest fortifieds in the country before yelping. (Ned Goodwin)
Decanter – Like Rutherglen Muscat, shrivelled and partially raisined berries are fermented briefly on skins, then fortified. Fruit is sourced from red and black (as well as Rutherglen’s brown) Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains mutations. Ageing in hogsheads and barriques dials up the richness (360g/l residual sugar), unleashing bourbon and marzipan-like nutty notes to its boozy Christmas pudding and medjool date flavor. Moreish, not mawkish, with savory chicory coffee notes and deftly balanced
James Halliday – NED GOODWIN - HALLIDAY'S WINE COMPANION
Almost opaque across a hue of molasses and mahogany grand piano shades. Mind-boggling just how old the average component in this prodigious blend must be. Surely a centurion. Date, cinnamon, tomatillo. A Moroccan souk. Ethereal. Nutty rancio for lift and joy. Imperious, this. Rather than a dessert wine, I strongly suggest this elixir as a meditational sipper. Undoubtedly among the smattering of truly world class wines this country offers up.
