Semi Sweet dessert wine, 15%. But not too sweet. Touch of acidity makes it easy to drink. Tropical fruit and jasmine. Sings like a nightingale.

Blind (& on the rocks) would be nearly identical to a Lillet aperitif

Although classified as a fortified dessert wine, the pale gold-hued '12 Domaine de Durban Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise was the ideal match with a goat cheese and sun-dried tomato pizza. The sweetness mellowed the tang of the goat cheese perfectly. Wonderful scents of honeyed stone fruits, white lilies and ginger with some nutty undertones wafted from the glass. A vibrant acidity gave the palate a clean citrusy quality. Long juicy finish
