The 2010 Bodegas Ochoa Moscatel de Grano Menudo begins with aromas of grapefruit, peaches and even a bit of almond. The wine is syrupy sweet and tastes of peaches, apricots, lime and honeysuckle. This is a VERY drinkable wine and once you start you likely won’t want to stop. The finish has a nice acidity to balance out the sweetness. This wine was just as good on day 2, but I’m betting it’ll never make it that long. It pushes the limit of our price boundary, but this a great wine to splurge on for your next dinner party!
