Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Nina rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Wow! That was my first time tasting dry muscat! I'm in love! Really!
Bright straw color.
On the nose this wine is aromatic excellence! Lot's of exotic flowers, honey, honeydew, ripe fruit.
On the palate medium dry, nice acidity, very balanced, a little bit of minerality. Flavors of exotic fruits, spices.
Nice, warm finish.
It was wonderful with seafood!
Gabriel Israel rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

For $15, it doesn't get any better than this for Muscat. What I loved about this one is that it's mildly sweet with hints of mellon and litchi. So fresh and suitable for the summer.
This wine earned a Gold Medal at the 2011 Concours Général Agricole in Paris. Wow! Super intense aromatics of table grapes, orange blossoms, honeydew melon, nutmeg and other baking spices, plus a touch of Asian pear and lychee fruit. Medium dry, fruity and lush, this is a robust Muscat that is packed with sweet exotic fruit and spices, but with ample acidity providing balance. This is an amazing value.
