Deep olive brown; dense spice, plum pudding and raisin aromas; utterly exceptional intensity and length; altogether in another dimension; while based upon some very old wine, is as fresh as a daisy.

Last time I visited the Rutherglen wine show, old Mr Morris got up to receive trophies so many times that he moved his seat to the front of the auditorium, amid hoots of laughter! This wine accounted for most of the accolades, and deservedly so. 'Rare' means more than 20 years average age but the real genius of Morris is its impeccable poise and seamless balance. This should be among the most expensive rare muscats, but it's the cheapest. A treasure of the wine world.

Morris is my house rare, because I adore it and because it s $57 at Dan Murphy s, making two 500mL bottles the same price as a single 375mL of most other rares. It s a travesty that they can make a wine of more than twenty years average age and sell it at this price, but the most bewildering thing is that most wine lovers don t even know about it. It s black in hue and packed with profound complexity of age in notes of black olives and salty liquorice, held in impeccable balance by the freshness of marmalade and fig paste and the rich honeyed sweetness of plum pudding. Seamless and brilliant.
