Glorious be thy muscat.

This Buller really is so very nice. Prune, peach, raisin, fig, caramel..... very interesting indeed. Everytime I sip I find something else buried within... very complex, but not so thick and rich to turn you off... the 18% alchohol is noticeable, but it's the acidity that balances this out to make it so vibrant. Very nice smooth finish, and a very long aftertaste of dark chewy caramel. Hard to rate for me as I don't have enough experience... but if it doesn't get much better than this, I will not be disappointed at all!!! Definitely 96+

Oh yes. Agree 100%. I am Not a big supporter of Dessert Wines. But, this was a very enjoyable after-dinner drink. With chocolate, perfect pairing. Thank You, Mr. Revlis.

this was an outstanding dessert wine. not having a reference point, i would hesitate to rate it. if parker calls it a 99 i would not argue. the viscosity was that of syrup.

I'm going to pick up some Buller Tokay tomorrow... perhaps another of this (leaving me with 2)

Rev, can you get me one. We can do our MONSTER swap on the 8th. Since the Laurent ain't happening.

Which one? The Tokay or the Muscat? Both RP99

Uh oh..... Screw up!!!

The Muscat I brought to Jocelyn's was the Buller Premium Fine Muscat Victoria.

NOT the Buller Rutherglen Rare Muscat that was RP 99.

Go figure... I gotta find my receipt on this! More to come......

Anyhow, the ones I bought today were indeed the RP 99's. I still think the Fine Muscat was 96+ though..... But only costs $15 I think!!! Zoiks!

Like I said.. more to come....

thanks buddy!!!!!!

*grumble*
*moan*


Seems I'm right. I was charged the full $66 though... he told me it was the RP99 bottling and I believed him.

Rev, did I read that right, you bought the Victoria at the Calliope price!??!?!

MudPuppy.. I was gonna ask what price I bought it.... was trying to find my receipt but I couldn't. *shrug* Next time I came into Stirling I was gonna ask. I'm really not sure anymore....

I hope you got a Calliope for me, Rev. At a Victoria price..

jb

Rev. I sold it to you for $14.99 less your discount.

(ps) I should be getting more sometime in December (need a graemlin crossing fingers)...

So, did these people fix their mess up?

All is good with the world!!!!

jb, you have the $66 price. Sorry dude.

But you get to have one tomorrow!! :-)

Cool. I will be bringing your Girardin Corton Charlemagne, as well.

jb

If anyone has extra Fine or Calliope Muscat to bring to the dinner, I will reward them handsomely

Doc,

I think Rev has gotten me confused. You asked for the "Extra Fine" Muscat.

Do you mean "Premium Fine Muscat", the RMP97 at a list price of 97?

If so, I have two cases on order from a NYC retailer and two more on order from another retailer. Therefore, I think I can spare you some.

Or, if you'd like, email me (or join the chat room now?). I'll tell you where to order it from.

Had this again.
This is excellent but not as good as the Chambers version of 2 years ago. See Campbell's too

Dr.T, I didn't have the Chambers of 2 years ago, but I prefer the Buller to the current Chambers.

I haven't had the recent Chambers Muscat. Hasn't hit the shores of VA. Parker was less fond of current release.

Bottom line:Still all good for the money.
