"Confirming anew the international status its ancestor enjoyed 2 centuries back, and fortunately soon in greater quantities, from new plantings of muscat de frontignan.  Frequent 5 Star rating over the years.  Usually no botrytis element, just healthy ripeness taken to a superb extreme, to give a long-lived, silkily textured wine with fine mineral acidity.  Raisiny luxuriance of 99 also evokes dried apricot, marmalade, shot through with thrilling acid; fine lingering farewell."  John Platter's South African Wine Guide 2005.

"Viscous but lively in texture, this has layers of orange peel, maple, crème brûlée, green tea and quince paste flavors that stay tightly knit through the lengthy finish. An excellent dessert wine that is quietly putting together an enviable track record. Muscat de Frontignan. Drink now through 2015. 1,500 cases made. (JM)"  92 points, The Wine Spectator, Nov. 30, 2004.
