| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | This Muscat à Petits Grains (small grapes) is a vin doux naturel made in the traditional way, with added spirits stopping fermentation and achieving an alcohol level of 15%. With intense aromas of fresh apricot and nectarine, and a medium gold/yellow color, the wine offers a palate of intense yellow stone fruits. Accents of citrus and the taste (but not the sweetness) of honey enrich the flavors. A luscious, silky texture enhances the wine. Serve in small tulip-shaped glasses very cool room temperature, about 55-60ºF;13-15ºC.
Chocolate: Milk chocolate with Amarula (a South African liqueur made from cream, sugar and the fruit of the Marula tree), best pairing (the result is somewhat orangish in flavor); milk chocolate with crystallized ginger (although the pairing somewhat drives the chocolate underground); dark chocolate with orange (Lindt). Other foods: Pound cake; coconut candies; chilled poached fruits with crème anglaise; Zuppa Inglese; vanilla flavored panna cotta with fresh crushed fruits.
