"Plenty of dried cranberries, candied peaches, sweet papayas, sweet Turkish apricots, licorice and cumin spices. Medium body for a sweet wine with medium acidity and a slightly cloying feel in the aftertaste. A hint of bitter dates in the finish. Drink now."

"Sweet rose gives way to crushed strawberries and a dusting of confectioners spice as the remarkably pretty 2020 Moscato Rosa Praepositus blossoms in the glass. It,s soft and enveloping, with juicy acidity that motivates its ultra-ripe cherry fruit and inner florals. A bitter twang of tart wild berries adds contrast toward the close. This finishes long yet fresh with a lingering hint of tropical citrus and sour melon. While undoubtedly a dessert wine, the energy of the 2020 Moscato Rosa Praepositus keeps the taster looking back to the glass for more."
