Dessert Wine

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.

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: For a 2004, this is big and rich, but that is to be expected from Guiraud. The fruit is magnificently ripe, with flavors of peach and tangerine syrup along with the core of botrytis and dark honey. The aftertaste is...

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, 96 points: The 2013 Vin de Constance Natural Sweet Wine was matured in 500-liter barrels for around 36 months. It has a beautiful bouquet with honey, quince, pressed yellow flowers and Mirabelle. It has wonderful definition and...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: Bright, even exuberant in feel, with a parade of Jonagold apple, green melon, Bosc pear and quince flavors streaming through, gilded with heather, honeysuckle and verbena notes on the long, lithe finish. Remarkably...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: (WE93-95 points) A rich, complete wine, this has beautiful acidity as well as the most intense botrytis character. It's a wine with long-term aging potential, ripe and already full in the mouth.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The apricot/golden colored 2015 Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux shows a very intense, elegant and also subtle bouquet of ripe fruit intermixed with flinty aromas. Dense, piquant and concentrated on the palate, this is a great...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Try to imagine the most beautiful exotic-fruit coulis, and then you have an idea of how this new style of Sauternes smells. Stunning concentration and purity of flavor. The knife-edge acidity electrifies the palate and...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Intensly rich without being sweet, this wine is full of ripe flavors and a touch of honey. It’s a wonderful combination of spices, candied fruits and opulence. The acidity rounds this wine out nicely.

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Elegant nose with sweet white peach, strawberry and vanilla. Medium sweet on the palate with a lovely pure fruit and fine texture. This Barsac is super charming and well balanced. Very spicy on the finish showing...
