Huon Hooke
Deep amber/tawny with a pronounced yellow rim, and the bouquet is wonderfully powerful, rich and complex muscat nose. The sweetness is massive and there is a touch of bitterness at the finish which doesn't get in the way at all, helping to clean the aftertaste. A very old, very sweet and concentrated muscat. This is great value at the price.

95 Points James Halliday
Old Vine is equivalent to the Classic Muscat classification. A beauty of a fortified, displaying all of the seductive allure of the grape in honeyed fruitcake, dried figs and chocolate raisins, fuelled by lingering rose oil aromatics. And so fresh. An intriguing wine to start a fortified obsession.
