Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A floral and fragrant fortified dessert wine from Spain and made from Moscatel de Alejandría grapes. Aromas of peachy white roses, caramel and spice box with luscious flavours of marmalade, golden raisins, candied ginger and apricots. A lovely after dinner sipper or a perfect accompaniment to fruit flan or custard cream desserts.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A luscious dessert wine made by the Torres family since 1946. Orange and honey fragrances and flavours play through from first whiff to candied finish with mandarine and a hint of clove. Delicious on its own or added to coffee. Decorative bottle makes it a terrific gift wine.

Gabriel Israel rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Think dry apricot blended with honey and a little bit of mint with orange peel and voila ! It's concintrated with intense flavors that plays a silky mercury-like games on your tongue. What a beautiful dessert wine for a more than a fair $17 price tag. Serve it chilled and enjoy it after dinner by itself or with a nice rhubarb pie.
