CHAMBERS MUSCADELLE RUTHERGLEN GRAND

Non Vintage

Score  97

“A deep tawny-molasses hue. Old wines clearly involved in the meld. Scents of sticky date pudding, Indian spice rack, mahogany, walnut husk and ginger crystal. Delving deep, muscadelle's fermented lime chutney DNA is loud and clear. An impenetrably dense wine. A chiaroscuro of dark and light, as a lilt of volatility imparts length and levity to the dense, saturated palate. Screw cap. Drink or hold. Indefinitely.”

Ned Goodwin MW - Senior Editor

CHAMBERS MUSCADELLE RUTHERGLEN OLD VINE

Non Vintage

Score 97

“Riveting aromas of cold Early [sic] Grey tea, spiced date, mocha and cardamon pod, with a subtle lilt of rancio. To speak in greater depth would take me well beyond this space. Put it this way, this is among the world's very greatest fortified expressions. Nary a degree of excessive sweetness, clad to gently unctuous, mid-weighted bones. The finish, palpably dry, such is the presence and savory aura. These wines don't die. I almost prefer this to the Grand Muscadelle, despite the younger wines involved. Drink or hold.... forever. Screw cap.”

Smooth and unctuous, with coffee, sassafras and liquorice notes interlaced with chocolate, prune, hay and spice flavours, coming together harmoniously on the
extra-long finish. H.S.

94 pts Chambers Muscadelle Grand NV Rutherglen Rosewood Vineyards
Very sweet, with a brown, tawny edge, this is thick in texture and deep in flavour, offering layers of black cherry, coffee, dark chocolate and walnut that persist
on the deft finish. H.S.

94 pts Chambers Muscat Grand NV Rutherglen Rosewood Vineyards
Dark, spicy and richly sweet, this is the colour of brewed coffee, with espresso and bittersweet chocolate notes melding with cherry pie, toasted walnut and candied orange peel flavours, lingering expressively. H.S.

90 pts Chambers Muscat Rutherglen NV Rosewood Vineyards
This silky, sweet version is the colour of dark tea, with banana notes around the core of caramel, chocolate and cherry, finishing with moderate intensity. H.S.

“Chambers’ Rare Muscat and Rare Muscadelle (previously Topaque or Tokay) are the greatest of all in the Rutherglen firmament and should be treated as national treasures; the other wines in the hierarchy also magnificent. Stephen Chambers (6th generation) is winemaker,
but father Bill is seldom far away.” JAMES HALLIDAY
