#AgedWineTuesday
Light pink in color.
Strong nose with flowers and tropical fruits.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Sweet on the palate with nice complexity. Elegant and rich.
Showing apples, pears, peaches, spices, papaya, light raspberries, wild flowers, light earth and sweet tea.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 20 minutes of airtime.
This 29 year old is still drinking nicely. Easy to drink, and sweet enough to pair with desserts.
16% alcohol by volume.

Château de Casenove Muscat de Rivesaltes 1994, France
Light peach in color.
Sweet nose of Mediterranean spices, ripe pears, citrus, peaches, apricots, cinnamon and honey.
Full bodied, bold and sticky, with high acidity and nice legs.
Sweet on the palate with citrus, yellow apples, apricots, melons, honey, tropical fruits, lemons, peaches, cinnamon, over ripe bananas and Mediterranean spices.
Long sweet finish with spices and limes.
This 26 year old French Muscat is awesome. Not too sweet, and nicely balanced with great complexity.
A great dessert wine and better when nicely chilled.
I paired it with Macadamia Nut Sunday in a walfale cone. Yummy and complex.
