This floral dry Moscatel is losing steam by the day, so I recommend seeking out the 2009 version. But if you do come across this vintage, you can expect grassy aromas mixed with fading white fruit notes. The palate is weighty, with medium acidity. Flavors of apricot are flattening and turning a little bitter. Drink up or wait for a fresher bottle.

Smooth, oily and nice up front, with sweet orange marmalade and some pith on the back palate. Plenty of zest to this, it comes across much like a German Auslese. Not too unctuous or difficult.

A lovely sweet wine with apricot, mango and floral aromas. It’s smooth and neither heavy nor cloying, with clean lines, fine acidity and moderately thick and honeyed flavors of apple, melon and mango. Sweet, long and pure on the finish.

An ultrarich, TBA-styled Moscatel, syrupy and dripping with concentrated peach, pineapple and mango flavors. Almost overdone but still in balance courtesy of good acidity.

Fragrant as dry Moscatel should be, with aromas of the tropics, pineapple and lychee. The palate is forward and clean, with pineapple, lychee, green banana and nutmeg flavors. Medium-long on the finish, with some pithiness. Goes well with food; a good apéritif white that’s out of the ordinary.

Hand’s down, the best of Jorge Ordoñez’s dessert-styled Moscatels is the Victoria. It’s floral and piercing on the nose, while the palate is ripe and smooth, with honeyed mango and pineapple flavors. Balanced like a gymnast on the beam, this sweetie is textured, rich and also a little bit racy.

Oxidized and thick as a bull’s neck, with apricot and funk on the nose. This is thick, sticky, unctuous stuff that tastes like canned peaches and orange extract. Grows on you the more time you spend with it, but it’s on its own island with no row boat in sight.
