The 2007 Vin San Giusto (375 ml) continues in the great tradition of this fabulous dessert wine. This wine was conceived as a full-fledged Vin Santo del Chianti Classico but because appellation laws require that the wine have at least 12% alcohol, it was declassified to IGT Toscana. The blend of fruit used is 90% Malvasia and 10% Trebbiano. The bouquet opens to stunning aromas of honey, thick caramel, brown sugar and dried apricot. The mouthfeel is rich, consistent and silky in texture. It is sweet but never heavy. Only 2,500 bottles were made. - Monica Larner

This modern style is thick and clean, like a Tokaji Eszencia. The dried fig, date, raisin, honey, butter and roasted almond flavors are compelling, and this finishes clean and balanced despite the intense sweetness. Fine length. Drink now through 2020. 85 cases made. –BS
