Review

The NV Moscatel de Setúbal was aged for 24 months in used oak, a mixture of French and American. It comes in with 162 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is a pretty straightforward entry-level Moscatel, but its style makes it very enchanting. Avoiding heavy brandy nuances, it has a lighter, fresh feel and delicious fruit and sugar dribbling over the palate. It seems very lively for a fortified wine. It's a pretty nice deal. Although a NV wine, the lot number on the capsule may help you identify it: L1-064-15 (meaning, bottled on the 64th day of 2015). This comes with a bar-top cork. 86/100 Mark Squires
