Campbells Merchant Prince Rare Rutherglen Muscat 375mL
Quality and balance are more important to Colin Campbell than numbers, so he doesn’t track the exact age of his oldest muscat. It must be monumental, because there are flavours and aromas here that hark back to a bygone era. It’s transported beyond toffee, fig jam and marmalade, to an age of savoury black olives and old, dusty tractor shed aromas. In the midst of this historical odyssey, it retains impeccable poise and balance. The intensity and depth on display here are an epiphany. $95 at Discount Wines.
