Light, yellow, gold in color, the wine pops on the nose with its showy display of flowers, honeysuckle, candied apricots, orange rind, pineapple, mango, lemongrass, vanilla and spice. Perched on the corner of richness...

The 2016 Chateau D’Yquem is pure magic and dessert wines don’t get much better. Offering a pale gold color as well as a blockbuster bouquet of honeyed tangerines, tart apricots, liquid rocks, white flowers, and...

(95–97 points) Barrel Sample. This is a dense wine, full of rich fruit, bitter orange and apricot. Its ripe fruit is balanced by the intense botrytis while it is also freshened by the wine's acidity. This is a great wine...

Suduiraut has a rather delicate floral aroma for a wine that's luminous gold. Botrytis flavors kick in on the palate and the wine explodes. What's left is ethereal: scents of the forest, of beeswax, ginger and Mandarin...

The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (Gold Capsule) is incredibly clear and precise on the nose, and if there was any botrytis here—and there was, otherwise you wouldn't get this concentration and delicate raisin aroma—it...

(90-91 points) A pretty second wine of Rieussec with creamy, cooked pear and apple character. Some soufflé character, too. Medium body, medium sweet and a fresh finish.

So viscous that you need to drink it with a spoon. Syrup-like with loads prunes, black dates, licorice syrup and melted chocolate. This is not a PX you’d “drink,” but rather “chew” on the palate. An extremely viscous...

Maybe I'm amazed! In spite of the density and concentration, this retains the light-footed and filigree character that are typical for this great vineyard site. A cornucopia of dried stone and tropical fruit, but also...

The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is intense and complex on the still introverted but complex nose that shows clear, bright fruit aromas (baby pineapple) intermingled with fine, flinty slate notes. What an aristocratic...

Katarina’s 2020 Himmelreich Auslese is a simply stunning young wine. Aromatically, the wine is unbelievably precise and vibrant, soaring from the glass in a mix of pineapple, fresh lime, a touch of white cherry, bee...

Fermented and matured in stainless steel for 18 months, the 2017 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese No 1 Zwischen den Seen offers a beautiful raisin and pink grapefruit aroma that has rarely been so precise and so delicate...

Following a very long harvest stretching nearly two months, the 2015 Château d'Yquem came in at 13.9% alcohol and 144 grams per liter of residual sugar, sporting a pH of 3.65 and six grams per liter of tartaric acid. None...

Pale gold colored, the 1998 d'Yquem features a flamboyant, rock-star nose of allspice, candied ginger, honeycomb and crème brûlée with a core of preserved lemons, mandarin peel and musk perfume plus a waft of potpourri...

A 90-10 blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, the 2014 Dolce Late Harvest Wine spent 30 months in 100% new French oak. The result is slightly nutty on the nose, with scents of dried apricot, cinnamon and clove. For a...

The radiant, amber-colored 2007 Trockenbeerenauslese No. 7 Welschriesling Zwischen den Seen offers a complex bouquet of salty, dried and stewed apricots and malt. On the palate, this is a rich and generous, very elegant...

Fermented on the mash for 5-7 days prior to the pressing, the 2019 Trockenbeerenauslese No. 4 Zweigelt Nouvelle Vague offers a beautiful bouquet of ripe cherries, plums and strawberries, sea buckthorn, white nougat, cigar...

Vinified in stainless steel for 28 months, the golden-colored 2019 Trockenbeerenauslese No. 2 Muscat Ottonel Zwischen den Seen opens with a clear and noble, remarkably delicate bouquet of ripe and stewed peaches, hints of...

#6 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese Zwischen den Seen offers quite a contrast to the #5, sublimating the obvious Scheurebe varietal character. Peach jam, lemon, honey, pure botrytis and mysteriously high-toned esters...

Stunning nose of a wide spectrum of exotic fruit, with tons of papaya and mangosteen. Stunning concentration and vibrancy, with so much herbal freshness alongside the exotic fruit coulis character. Then comes the...

The Dönnhoff family picked two small lots of Eiswein this year, one on the 9th of December and the other on the 13th, and Helmut Dönnhoff decided that they would be better blended together to make one bottling, rather...

(WA 94-95 points) The 2018 Scharzhofberger Spätlese offers a very fine and delicate, coolish, precise and flinty bouquet with bright and elegant fruit notes. On the palate, this is a finessed, beautifully round and lush...

The 2019 Vidal Icewine comes in with 250 grams of residual sugar, 9.79 of total acidity and 9.5% alcohol. This was bottled in July 2020, the only bottling for this wine this year. The richest of the Vidal ice wines this...

The 2020 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Beerenauslese * is highly concentrated and clear on the nose that indicates very fine botrytis expression and tropical fruit aromas served on crushed slate. The warmth and generous...
