Museum Reserve Muscat
A Southern ๐๐๐ Hemisphere wine theme for a small dinner with a dear friend. Some older bottles from our cellar and some younger bottles from another cellar. Paired this evening with Asian-style braised beef short ribs (Kinderhook Farm; Valatie, NY) and grilled polenta.
Notes possibly...Scores honestly.
Been buying this for a long time, I think my first post of it, but it's always been one of our favorite bottles. This has been in the cellar at least 10+ years, but still has great acidity. It's Muscat, but drinks like a killer tawny port!

Totally tripped me up in blind tasting! Thought it was PX, sigh.

Jan 25th, 2017Really really nice! Saw this on the shelf and knew nothing about it, but saw some good reviews so I gave it a try for Christmas dessert. Lovely caramelly aromatics with fig, raisins, toffee, and a viscous sweetness.. definitely would buy again - great aussy dessert wine.
