Dessert Wine

Wine Spectator, 98 points: Gorgeous aromas of honey, passion fruit, mango and candied lemon rind. Full-bodied and ultraconcentrated, yet balanced and refined. It lasts for minutes on the palate. This has just about everything in the right place...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Exotically perfumed violet and rose petals burst on your palate accompanied by dried apricot lemon and honey flavors. Gorgeous and subtle glowing on the finish.

Decanter, 97 points: Strikingly pure, fresh and youthful, this is almost like an 'essence of Muscat'. Hints of elderflower and subtle spices on the nose are complemented by a licquorous palate with zesty citrus peel and honey, balanced by...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: The 2018 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Beerenauslese * is precise, clear and highly refined on the subtle, aromatic and flinty nose that represents perfect, early botrytis. Sweet and piquant on the crystalline and salty...

Wine & Spirits, 92 points: This is the 14th vintage of Red Label since the company’s founding in 1990. At 158 grams per liter of residual sugar—officially enough to consider this 6 Puttonyos—it’s sweet, yet it’s also deeply savory, with marzipan...

Decanter, 96 points: On clay over limestone soils, relatively cool compared to Sauternes, this has a purity and freshness that is striking and moreish. Full of the quince, candied orange, truffle, apricot and lemon curd that you hope for in a...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: This is powerful and racy with lots of class. Full body, very sweet with lots of spicy botrytis character. Intense. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator, 99 points: A lovely, creamy, tropical style, with mango, papaya and guava notes lending a caressing feel, while singed almond and warm piecrust accents blossom through the lush finish. Just when you think that's all there is...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 90 points: The de Fargues ’95 has a ripe, generous, quintessential de Fargues nose with tangy marmalade, Seville orange and quince jus, though it does not quite have the razor-sharp delineation of a top-flight wine from the estate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Picked at 120° Oechsle and "with 90% fine and juicy botrytis," according to Constantin Richter, the 2015 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese ** (Fass #101) displays a very fine, precise and concentrated...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: 98+ Pale to medium gold colored, the 2007 d'Yquem delivers powerful scents of tropical fruits—dried mangoes and pineapple paste—accented by acacia honey, toasted almonds and woodsmoke with hints of chalk dust, kettle...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Multi-facetted nose of fresh citrus, stone fruits and some candied pineapple. Rich and succulent but with lively acidity and a long, seriously complex finish. Better from 2020 and has a couple of decades of ageing in the...

Wine & Spirits, 94 points: Botrytis came early to Tokaj in 2016, after a wet summer, allowing Royal Tokaji to bottle several Azsú wines. This one, a barrel selection of wines from the company’s best vineyards, feels like satin on the palate. It’s...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 97 points: Spicy, lush, tropical, fresh, sweet, butter fruit, with a beautiful blend of honey, vanilla, apricots, pineapple, white peach and tangerine. The freshness here, really allows the wine to pop, while letting your palate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Molitor's 2014 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) has a yellow-golden color and displays a very clear and precise, rather warm and tropical bouquet of fully ripe, perfectly selected Riesling...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 96 points: It take little effort to find the ripe, sweet, tropical fruits, apricot, candied orange peel, pineapple, vanilla, floral and honey notes in the nose. The wine is sweet, with luscious textures, freshness but not as much...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: What a wine for the vintage, with spices and furniture wax undertones, then dried citrus fruit. Great intensity in this, powerful stuff. Perhaps the best 2005.

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: So much botrytis on the nose with spice, dried mushrooms and nutmeg. Dried lemons and mangoes. Full-bodied and medium sweet with density and, at the same time, lightness. I like that it is full of botrytis on the palate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The pale lemon colored 2016 de Malle rocks up with flamboyant musk melon, pear tart, peach cobbler and ginger ale scents plus a touch of white pepper. The palate is packed with stone fruit and spice layers with a creamy...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: 93+ The 2014 Siebeldinger Im Sonnenschein Riesling trocken GG is pure, very clear and fresh; there are flinty notes and ripe, concentrated but very discreet white and yellow fruit aromas. Grown on Muschelkalk soils and...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: The most exotic and succulent of the 2015 Auslese Gold Caps from J.J., but also blessed with dazzling finesse and brilliance that you rarely encounter in sweet wines of any kind. What a finish! Best from 2020 and almost...
