This was a real treat. Concentration and Intensity off the charts. Liquid raisins, toffee chocolate and fruit cake with the viscosity and consistency of engine oil. Leading Australian wine scribe James Halliday has never given 💯 points to a table wine but he gave 💯 to this fortified, as did James Suckling 💯 and Huon Hooke 98 points. The base vintages in this can go back to 100 years ( the average base sits between 20 and 40 years). Rutherglen Muscat is one of Australia’s gifts to the vinous world. — 7 years ago

Deep crimson with blue/purple tinges. Aromas of spicy red cherries. Medium weight palate. All the Portuguese red varieties normally used to make Port but making in this case a very savoury dry red — 8 years ago

Really interesting wine. Balanced fruit, great acidity. Started maybe a little chewy but smoothed out nicely after sitting for a couple of hours. — 7 years ago

The perfect accompaniment to plum pudding. Very toffee and raisiny with intensity at 18.5% ABV. My son who rarely drinks anything loved it. Don’t worry. I’m sure I haven’t created a monster. He still went for his regular 10K run on Boxing Day. Rutherglen fortifieds are one of Australia’s gifts to the world of wine. — a year ago
