Tasting Notes
Appearance
This extraordinary Rutherglen Muscat presents a dark olive brown colour with a green tinge on the rim of exceptional aged brilliance and depth, displaying the outstanding quality characteristic of Morris Old Premium Rare Liqueur Muscat — a strictly limited release benchmark fortified wine crafted by Madden Morris, sixth generation and current Chief Winemaker, from only the most exceptional vintages blended across decades of slow maturation in small oak casks. A world-famous Australian dessert wine of rare and enduring distinction.
Aroma
The nose is intense and immediately captivating, with a rich bouquet of raisin fruit and soft woody characters of exceptional depth and complexity — dark toasted wood, dark chocolate, currants, raisins, plum paste and alluring, fragrant spices of outstanding aromatic distinction. A bouquet of extraordinary richness, aged complexity and authentic Morris Old Premium Rare Liqueur Muscat character — the hallmark of 165 years of Rutherglen winemaking tradition and six generations of Morris family passion and mastery.
Palate
The palate shows great depth, length and complexity of exceptional richness and distinction, with luscious flavours of sweet spices, dried raisins and Christmas pudding delivering a smooth, pillowy texture of outstanding warmth and indulgence. Rich and spicy raisins and an ebb and flow of dried plum flavours emanate warmth in treasured layers — a Morris Old Premium Rare Liqueur Muscat of extraordinary luscious depth, enhancing freshness, length and a bright finish with rancio in high relief. 17.0% alc.
Pairs With
This extraordinary Morris Old Premium Rare Liqueur Muscat is a natural companion to Christmas pudding, dark chocolate, sticky date pudding, blue cheese, crème brûlée or savoured on its own as the ultimate Australian after-dinner wine — 100 points, world-famous and with no equivalent in any other part of the world.
