Vin Doux Sweet Muscat 1895

A lovely hand blown pre-coop bottle. A seriously dense wine! Nose is a little closed but opens up in the glass to reveal apricots, honey, marmalade, soaked sultanas, christmas pudding, and layers of complex floral notes. There is some acidity at the back but it's the sweetness that kicks you in the mouth; a dense, viscous, almost creamy sweetness that just hoes on and on. Perhaps that's my only criticism; that the sugar is a bit overpowering. There's great depth though, and it easily carried the alcohol, despite achieving what's likely to be 18-19% (not stated in the label, which simply reads "SAMOS"!). A phenomenal surprise and one of the best fortified wines of my life! — 9 years ago

Samos Muscat 2010

2010 vintage. Honey, ripe Apple, and roasted nuts. Great nose! M+ acid and M body. On the palate- honey, apricot, roasted nuts. Long finish and balanced. Started out sweet but dry at the end. Great price point for a beautifully complex wine. — 9 years ago

For about 3h. Your comment drove me to the cellar to open a 2009 Rabaja 😀

Le Faîte Blanc Côtes de Saint-Mont Arrufiac Blend 2013

Exuberant and full bodied blend of local Gros Manseng and other indigenous varieties from the much lesser-known South West of France. Forget all those CH's and SB's and submerge into the unknown! Dense-rich-textural, fresh, complex and aromatic.
It has what is probably the most engaging and surprising wine label I have come across.
A part of the exciting portfolio of Producteurs Plaimont, the biggest and most successful cooperative of the area.
