Description

Chambers Rosewood Vineyards, Rutherford Glen Special Muscat, NV, Victoria, Australia, 375 ml


"This luxurious offering possesses such extraordinary unctuosity, thickness, complexity, and richness that it must be tasted to be believed. It is not just a big, thick sugar ball, because it has sound underlying acidity as well as remarkable complexity and freshness … The wine possesses notes of smoke, roasted nuts, coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, prunes, honey, fruitcake, overripe orange/apricots, and remarkable spicy characters … In summary, life is too short not to try this wine ... a true Australian treasure." WA 98


2001 Clos Haut-Peyraguey, Sauternes, Bordeaux, France, 375 ml 


"A big time sleeper of the vintage, Clos Haut Peyraguey’s 2001 exhibits abundant amounts of Grand Marnier-like orange flavors intermixed with creme brulee, melted caramels, and hints of pineapples and apricots. Full-bodied, sweet, long, and well-defined, it should drink well" through 2019. WA 92


2000 Graham's Vintage Port, 375 ml


"Grapy, unformed, black raspberry liqueur and licorice-infused cassis notes leap from the glass of this opaque purple-colored wine. Sweet, plush, rich, and accessible, it is a forward, lush, concentrated effort that should drink well for two decades...it should evolve rapidly, providing immense crowd appeal." WA 94
