INCREDIBLE STUFF!! .. " Lovely light toffee oak. Intense nose of light brown sugar, marmalade, honey and coffee. WOW!! The palate was exceptional with huge length and elegant intensity. I would be happy sniffing this wine all night. Incredible stuff and I want more of it. The best wine over the holiday. (Phil Wilkins, UK)
Wine Advocate
The Non-Vintage Grand Muscadelle is amber/brown with aromas and flavors of toasted coconut, almonds, and chocolate (reminiscent of an Almond Joy candy bar), graham cracker, and fig. Remarkably, the wine comes off as elegant because of its superb acid balance. Chambers Rosewood Vineyards makes my short list of greatest fortified wine producers. The winery was started in 1858 and continues to be owned by the Chambers family. Some of the material for these blends is over 100 years old. As Robert Parker noted in Issue 168, these wines are the product of solera systems so there is very little, if any, difference from release to release.
Score: 96.

Wine Enthusiast
Dark amber in color, with some greening evident at the rim, this Tokay features aromas of scorched coffee and Guinness stout-like flavors, but is also sweet, with hints of molasses and raisins. It’s a solid effort, representative of its classification.
Score: 91.
