Puklus Pincészet Tokaji Yellow Muscat 2010, Tokaj-Hegyalja, Hungary, Hungary: In northeastern Hungary, Muscat thrives in the hilly, volcanic-clay soils. It is a top area for grapes to become extremely ripe, resulting in flavourful, medium-sweetness wines such as this little beauty. An excellent choice. Another exotic little number with spices, orange peel and lovely, lovely white peach. Different and so very pretty. 46508 13.50% M 750 mL  $15.25 Score: 89/100.
