Buller Tasting Notes
Really intense rich Rutherglen Muscat nose. ...Lovely raisins characters. Rancio. Amazing complexity and depth. The palate shows incredible concentration. It's intensely sweet and complex. Extraordinarily luscious and a really outstanding example of Rutherglen Muscat. Food Accompaniments: Desserts like bittersweet Belgian chocolate, figs, chocolate mousse cake, fine mild cheeses and fresh fruit, pecan pie, dried fruits and nuts.

Wine Advocate
The Calliope Rare Muscatâ?'s light amber color is followed by an intoxicating fragrance that includes scents of prunes, figs, maple syrup, molasses, and gobs of fruit. The glycerin is extraordinary, the acid level provides freshness and definition, and the finish lasts over a minute. —Robert Parker, 96 points

Wine Enthusiast
This is dark, almost black in color at the center, with greening evident at the rim. Syrupy, intense aromas of coffee and dark chocolate make an immediate impact on the nose, followed by syrupy, intense flavors of coffee and molasses. There's mind-boggling concentration here, but just enough acidity to provide a sense of balance. Still, it's hard to imagine drinking more than a couple of ounces of this at a time. —Joe Czerwinski, 94 points
