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.”

“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
