Dessert & Fortified

Carinae Passito de Los Andes 2011 (500ML)

Carmes De Rieussec 2012 (375ML)

88-91 WS The 87/10/3 Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle blend is plump and open-knit with green plum, nectarine and coconut notes with a round, easy feel through the plantain-tinged finish. - James Molesworth, Wine...

Chapoutier Vin De Paille 2005 (375ML)

96-98 RP / 95 WS Of course, Michel Chapoutier produces some very limited spectacular dessert wines. The 2005 Ermitage Vin de Paille has a dark amber color, much more noticeable acidity than the 2004, but tastes as unctuous,...

Climens 2004 (375ML)

19 JR / 93 WA / 92 WS Slightly darker than the Suduiraut but not as dark as the Lamothe-Guignard. Intense, perfectly baked pears (with a little nutmeg) and apricots and quince. Pear marmalade with the merest hint of orange...

Coutet 2008 (750ML)

92 WA / 90+ VM / 90 WS / 16.5 JR Tasted single blind against its peers. This has a very floral, exuberant bouquet with white peach and grapefruit soaring from the glass. It is very pure and vivacious. The palate is...

Dal Forno Vigna Sere Veneto Passito 2004 (375ML)

99 WA / 98+ AG The 2004 Passito Rosso Vino Dolce Vigna Seré (500-mililiter) is a masterpiece that is impossible to repeat. In fact, the wine has not been produced since 2004. Even if a vintage as good as this did...

Donnhoff Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Spatlese 2016 (1.5L)

96 JS / 93 WS Another 2016 Spätlese from Dönnhoff that's still a bit shy on the nose, but on the palate it’s like a huge glittering diamond with more facets flashing many colors. An extremely long...

Dow's 1963 (1.5L)

94 WA / 92 JS Pale brick colour with fragrant scents of mossy wood, potpourri, cinnamon and dried mulberry plus a whiff of espresso. A mature, well balanced Port comes through in the mouth with high acidity cutting through...

Grahams 1983 (750ML)

93 WS / 92 RP A superb achievement from a very underrated year. Deep dark ruby-purple, with rich floral and violet aromas, full-bodied, with masses of strawberry flavors, full tannins and a long finish. - James Suckling,...

Huet Vouvray Le Haut Lieu Demi Sec 2016 (750ML)

96 WS / 16.5 JR Delivers a beautiful display of purity and grace, with creamed Jonagold apple, star fruit, white peach and chamomile notes flowing seamlessly, backed by wet stone and fresh verbena accents. Subtle but...

Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2013 (750ML)

95 VM / 95 WS / 95 JS The 2013 Lafaurie-Peyraguey disproves the claim that this derided vintage produced no great wines. It was picked from September 26 to October 25 through four tries, cropped at 11.6hl/ha, and...

Molitor Urziger Wurzgarten Auslese*** GK 2015 (750ML)

Muller Catoir Burgergarten im Breumel Riesling Spatlese 2015 (750ML)

92 WS / 91+ WA Very floral and intense, boasting iris, spearmint, nutmeg and grapefruit flavors. Round and juicy, with a long, lingering aftertaste of fruit, herbs and mineral. Drink now through 2033. - Bruce Sanderson,...

Prieure Du Monastir Del Camp Rivesaltes 1966 (750ML)

In the South of France, there is a long tradition of producing fortified wines, particularly in the appellations of Maury, Rivesaltes and Banyuls. The producers of these vins doux naturels often kept the best vintages for...

Raymond Lafon 2006 (375ML)

92 WA / 91 WS Tasted blind at Southwold 06 Bordeaux tasting. It is adorned with a straightforward, no frills Sauternes nose, good definition, barley sugar, lemon curd and honey, gaining in intensity in the glass. The palate...

Rieussec 2013 (750ML)

98 JS / 94-96 WA / 95 WS / 91-94 VM This is really mind-blowing with super concentration of botrytis showing dried mushrooms, dried apricots, and lemon. Lemon curd and sorbet. Full-bodied, medium sweet, dense and layered...

Sun River Cabernet Franc Angelica 2010 (375ML)

"Intense ruby colour, with aromas of embers, roasted red pepper and damp earth. This wine is medium bodied, with good acidity, well-integrated woody notes and a minty finish. Good value." - Spanish Wine...

Sun River Tinta Cao Angelica 2010 (375ML)

"This single vineyard vintage Angelica has an intense ruby red color in the glass. In the nose we find intense floral aromas mixed with exotic spices. On the palate we find a beautifully balanced mélange of red and...

Toro Albala Don Pedro Ximenez Vieja Cosecha 1973 (750ML)

97 DE / 95 WA Platinum Award: Best Spanish Fortified, Decanter World Wine Awards 2017 Lifted aromas of orange peel and flora overlay concentrated banana, treacle, caramel, licorice and honey. There is a savoury richness...

Trimbach Gewurztraminer Sgn Hors Choix 2007 (750ML)

96 WA / 94 WS / 94 VM The 2007 Gewurztraminer Selection de Grains Nobles Hors Choix represents a cuvee designation that the Trimbachs also utilized in 1989 and 2000 for wine of near Esszencia-like richness. Essence of rose...

Warres 1970 (750ML)

91 JS Surprisingly delicate and fruity at this stage. Ready to drink with a lightly sweet fruit, raspberry, and dark berry character and a bright acidity. - James...
