Description

1 very rare bottle of Chambers Rosewood Vineyards Rutherglen Rare Tokay.

Transcript below from Parker's Wine Advocate. Consistently rated at between 98-100 points in reviews he has made.



"I have long believed that Australia remains an unheralded but extraordinary treasure trove for fortified Muscat and Tokay. It is amazing how many sensational efforts emerge from this country. With the exception of William Chambers, they have not received the accolades they deserve. Anyone who has ever tasted his fortified Tokay or Muscat realizes the world’s reference point for these wines begins and ends with Chambers. These luxurious offerings possess such extraordinary unctuosity, thickness, complexity, and richness that they must be tasted to be believed. They are not just big, thick sugar balls, because they have sound underlying acidity as well as remarkable complexity and freshness. A spoonful or two of each wine is enough for most non-gluttons to appreciate the riveting heights these cuvées represent. Obviously, the Rare Muscat and Rare Tokay are surreal, but for the price, the $15 cuvées of Muscat and Tokay are sensational bargains. One could even argue that the Rare Muscat and rare Tokay, believed to be 50-70 years old from the solera system that Chambers has long maintained, are even spectacular bargains.

What do they taste like? The levels of intensity, perfume, and viscosity rise with each tier, from the regular cuvées, to the rare cuvées. All of the wines possess notes of smoke, roasted nuts, coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, prunes, honey, fruitcake, overripe orange/apricots, and remarkable spicy characters. The Muscats tend to be slightly more fruit-driven, with the Tokays more earthy and raisiny. However, these are all riveting examples of fortified dessert wines that I enthusiastically recommend. I use the Rosewood sweeties for many charitable meals/wine tastings I donate, and guests always go ga-ga over these rarities. In summary, life is too short not to try one of the Muscats or Tokays from Chambers Rosewood…a true Australian treasure."
