The Best of 2011

It was La Frenz Liqueur Muscat Nv that captured our highest rating in 2011 with a score of 96. A very delicious port style wine providing amours with deep promises that are filled by the sweet layers Sensational flavours. The wine is produced in a traditional solera system, meaning the average age of the blend is getting progressively older.
