Dessert Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2015 Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux Première Trie is super clear, ripe and aromatic on the nose, highly elegant and with lovely flinty flavors. Intense and concentrated, with great finesse and vitality, this is a highly...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This appears to be the synthesis of the fabulous 2001 and 2003. It shows wonderful aromas of botrytis spice, honey and citrus rind. Lots of fruit with a tropical fruit undertone of mango and papaya on the palate. Intense...

Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: Amazingly, this retains some fruit flavors of crushed red berries amidst the 235 g/L of residual sugar. The sweetness is not monolithic, but touches upon brown sugar, maple syrup and caramel, with a hint of toasted coconut.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Although I have tasted the 2007 Vin de Constance on several occasions, this was the first time professionally. It has an explosive bouquet that sprints out of the blocks with a more effervescent, vivacious personality...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This is phenomenal with superb depth and texture. Full body, very sweet yet the bright acidity balances the wine out. Creamy mouthfeel with phenolic undertones. Great finish. A super future for this. Better in 2021 but...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The Sigalas Rabaud was sensational out of barrel and served blind, the wine does nothing to dispel my initial optimism that this is the apogee for the estate – so far. It is bestowed with an intense bouquet of quince...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Attractive nose with hazelnuts, vanilla and apricot. Lots of dried orange peel and honey in this excellent sweet wine. Dense and very sweet on the palate with bright acidity and wonderful purity of fruit. Soft...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: A 30-year aging curve is possible for the 2003 Chateau. Composed of 55% Semillon and 45% Muscadelle aged nearly 30 months in French oak it reveals a dark amber color along with a blockbuster bouquet of toffee maple syrup...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: In its author’s opinion, the extremely high acid Zind-Humbrecht 2008 Riesling Brand Selection de Grains Nobles comes off as more austere than its non-”late-harvested” counterpart, and he finds no obvious botrytis on the...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is very clean and pure with an intense herbal-mineral quality that's beautifully complemented by the apple and berry notes. The finish has an Alpine meadow freshness that no other kabinett from this vintage I've...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: This packs some power, with ginger, dried peach and matchstick hints leading the way, but as this moves along, it slowly shows creamier quince, mango and papaya notes, and an alluring chamomile gilding. Still rather...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 96 points: (JL94-96 points) A stunner in 2015, this is incredibly packed with fat, juicy, ripe and over ripe honeyed apricots, vanilla custard, pineapple, honey and candied citrus. Great balance between concentration, sweetness...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Bottled in late 2016 with 5.5% alcohol plus 360 grams of unfermented sugar, the dark orange/amber colored 2011 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is clear and aromatic on the spicy nose where ripe...

Wine Spectator, 98 points: Shows fantastic range, featuring creamed Jonagold apple, papaya, toasted coconut, brioche and pineapple notes, laced with macadamia nut and heather honey details. The long, sweetened butter–filled finish shows citrus oil...
