Coffee-colored, with enticing scents of orange drizzled with dark maple syrup, coffee and raisins. Sweet, upfront and lushly textured, this is an easy-to-appreciate Muscat with great length.

Chambers’s entry-level Rutherglen Muscat is a wonderful wine in its own right, and a relative bargain among sweet wines. It’s floral and berry-like on the nose, with a viscous mouthfeel and caramel flavors that carry hints of berry fruit, honey and citrus.

Not a Cellar Selection in the traditional sense of requiring additional aging, this venerable wine (it contains some material over 100 years old) is ready to drink now, but should hold in the bottle indefinitely. It’s dark coffee-brown, with delectable aromas of rancio, pressed flowers, molasses and honey, yet despite enormous concentration avoids excessive weight. Amzingly complex and fresh on the neverending finish.

Coffee-brown in color, with a hint of golden-yellow at the rim, Chambers Grand Muscadelle features intense aromas of caramelized walnuts and a pronounced rancio character, all tied together by molassesy sweetness. Viscous and wildly concentrated, it leaves a lasting impression on glassware and palate alike.

Incredibly concentrated and intense, this dark coffee-colored wine coats the glass and the palate with waves of luxuriously sweet, raisiny flavors. Layers of complexity follow in the form of rancio, dried fig and molasses, with a citrusy edge providing life and freshness to the nearly endless finish.

Medium amber in color, this Muscat boasts scents of berries, pineapple and raisin to go with flavors of honey and spice. It’s a lush, sweet style, with less complexity than some, but great texture and length.

Made mistelle fashion, with fortification taking place prior to fermentation to help preserve the variety’s citrus and tea-leaf aromas and flavors. Honeyed orange and lemon flavors take on a leafy edge, showing a hint of bitterness on the finish.

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.

Befitting its age, this wine is dark coffee in color, changing to greenish at the rim. Flavors are malty and molasses-like, accented by scents of burnt coffee and sugar. This is broad, mouthcoating and sweet—an authoritative expression of Rutherglen Rare Tokay.
