Viña Aliaga, Moscatel "Vendimia Tardia" [500ml], Navarra, Spain 2010
100% Moscatel
INTENSE PEARISH PERFUME, FLORAL FUN, SWEET WITH A CLEAN GRASSY FINISH
You know those cartoons in which a pie on a window sill emits visible good smells that waft into a hobo’s nose and carry him toward the pie? In this case, this fantastic sweet wine from Carlos Aliaga is the pie, and we’re transformed into floating hobos. The aromas blooming from the glass are dense, heady, and almost palpable, but the wine finishes cleanly with notes of fresh green grass and herb. Don’t leave this one on the window sill. A Wine Authorities exclusive!
Serving Suggestions: Pungent, strongly flavored blue cheeses will work perfectly. Try a blue cheese soufflé. It’s easier than you might think.
