Dessert Wine

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 93 points: Luminous copper. Full and round and very opulent. Round and full and clean and open on the nose. Though not desperately subtle. More almonds on the nose. Very round, not especially complex but clean and bumptious and...

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.

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: 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, 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, 97 points: What makes this stand out is the gigantic mineral freshness that's perfectly married to its richness. This gives the finish a whole extra dimension lacking in the majority of 2015 Auslese. The nose still needs some time...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Spicy, smoky earth tones and shards of slate juxtapose decadent sweet grapefruit and yellow cherry in this complex auslese. It's light as a feather yet unctuously ripe and rich with a reverberating fringe of bitter...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Pale gold in color, the 2009 Doisy Daëne features expressive notes of honeyed lemons, dried mango slices, apricot tart and Seville orange marmalade with a touch of shaved almonds. The palate delivers mouth-filling stone...

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...

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...

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...
