Dessert Wine

Wine Spectator, 96 points: This leans toward the tropical side, with mango and guava notes out front, while maple, date, blood orange and citrus oil flavors fill in behind. The finish kicks into another gear, taking off with honeysuckle, orange...

Vinous, 95 points: (ST92-95 points) Full yellow-gold. Deep, brooding aromas of ripe peach and honey. A sweet, peachy fruit bomb with a superb balance of sugar, acidity and alcohol. Still subdued on the back but wonderfully sappy, spicy and...

Vinous, 97 points: Golden yellow. Noble aromas of orange blossom, vanilla and lemon candy are wrapped in subdued brown-spice botrytis. Vanilla cream and mango are supported by uplifting acids, giving this wine a lush structure and elegant...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Riesling Trocken Vulkangestein is sourced from younger (30- to 40-year-old) plots of the grands crus Stromberg and Felsenberg; the grapes were both picked a week earlier than the Grosses Gewächs Rieslings. The...

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...

Wine Spectator, 99 points: Stunning from the start, with a silky and refined feel despite the panoply of dried quince, fig, pear and apricot flavors that are exotic in nature. Lovely green tea, orange blossom and persimmon notes fill in the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: If possible, we produce TBA in every year, says Willi Sattler, whose first Trockenbeerenauslese was made in 1979. "If it is not possible or we don't like the result, it ends up as a Gölles vinegar." The 2013 Sauvignon...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Gold color. Loads of dried pineapple and apple with honey and melons as well on the nose. Full-bodied medium sweet with lots of dried fruits on the palate. Long and lively. Almost exotic. Drink now. -JS

Vinous, 95 points: (auction wine) Golden yellow. Noble aromas of candied pineapple, blackcurrant and nutmeg over a layer of pure honeyed botrytis. The rich, buttery passion fruit flavor is nicely accentuated by saline minerality, with...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Although this Saar Auslese is still a bit closed, it already shows sensational refinement and elegance. With aeration, the aromas of tropical flowers and fruits slowly emerge. The wine seemingly wraps its tendrils around...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2015 Riesling Ockfener Bockstein Beerenauslese is clear, rich and toasty on the nose, very clear, refined and elegant, with very fine Riesling flavors. On the palate, this is a highly elegant and almost light-weight...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: This is so creamy almost milky in feel with toasted coconut and cashew notes giving way to sweet peach apricot and glazed pear flavors that glide along while ginger green tea lychee and kumquat flavors extend through the...

Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: (WE96-98 points) The beautifully aromatic, honeyed scent leads into flavors of bitter orange and honey, along with extreme freshness. Notes of white peach and Rocha pear give richness to a wine that is not huge, but...
