Dessert Wine

Literally perfection in a glass and one of those rare wines which is breath-taking. The balance between residual sugar, acidity and minerality is spellbinding. The bouquet is beautifully defined with candied orange, orange blossom, pineapple and honey. As you would expect, the palate offers monumental richness, which is perfectly balanced with amazing precision and a super-long citrus-tinged.

Dark yellow with gold, aged apricot in the robe. The nose is broad and deep – present quince, pineapple, barley sugar, vanilla. Has a good salty, clear palate, which runs with purpose. After a nutted start, it develops a brioche bread side, a toasted, buttered nature, along with banana flambé in the taste. Good, rich wine with well judged botrytis.

Tasted blind at the Sauternes 2011 horizontal tasting. The Château Doisy-Védrines 2011 has a very fragrant, almost floral bouquet with pure honey, quince and yellow flower scents that soar from the glass and embrace you like your favourite aunt. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous texture and superb acidity that really set this Sauternes alight: real tension and a sense of energy here. It just “flows” toward a vibrant, honeyed finish that has only just begun to “motor." This surpasses its showing from barrel and constitutes a magnificent effort from Olivier Castèja and his team.

93 Points - James Suckling

Very attractive clotted cream and lime curd on the nose, gently spicy and really pristine. The palate has a very smooth spicy citrus thread, with saffron, lime curd and lemon; bright and pure, balanced, powerful, terrific sticky wine.

Inniskillin Icewine is recognised as one of the world's finest speciality wines and this Riesling is the perfect accompaniment to fruity desserts and rich cheeses. This Riesling Icewine shows the elegance of tropical aromas and flavours of lemon and lime. The good acidity of Riesling allows for a refreshing mouth feel with many layers of flavours that unfold.

Stylish Sauternes from an outstanding vintage. At perfect maturity and awaiting the company of Stilton or Roquefort.

Tasted single blind against its peers. The Château Rieussec 2008 should become an excellent Sauternes for the vintage. It has a floral bouquet with peach, tinned apricot and a touch of marmalade, all with fine delineation, and touches of lemon curd developing with aeration. The palate is mellifluous on the entry, with great depth and a luscious, vanillary note with hints of orange peel, marmalade and quince towards the long finish. Excellent.

A beautifully light and slightly frizzante wine - perfect for summer sipping. This Pink Muscat from Stella Bella is full of gorgeous red berry flavours with a hint of vanilla and a fresh and delicate finish.
