Very, very intense aromas of dried apricot and lemon. Honey, syrup and Golden Delicious. Full-bodied, viscous and very sweet. Pour it on pancakes. Love it. And drink it. Who can wait? Best after 2010. 6,250 cases made. –JS

This is amazingly long, with loads of coconut, apple, peach and honey character. Incredible. Full-bodied, very sweet. Truly wonderful. One of my favorites. A wine you must buy. Score range: 95-100

NV R L Buller Premium Fine Muscat $36.99 WA96 WS92

V R L Buller Premium Fine Muscat
R L Buller
A Muscat Sweet White Dessert wine from
Rutherglen, Victoria, Australia
Wine Advocate # 173
Oct 2007 Jay Miller 96 Drink - $14-$32 (15)
The N.V. Fine Muscat offers the most complexity of this hedonistic trio. Dark amber-colored, it delivers flavors of toffee, caramel, brown sugar, and dates. It is well balanced and has a long, pure finish. R. L. Buller & Son was started in 1921 by the grandfather of Andrew Buller, the current winemaker. The winery remains one of the quality leaders in the production of sweet wines from the warm terroir of Rutherglen. Moreover, the wines cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world. Importer: Ken Onish and John Gorman, Southern Starz; tel. (714) 892-3030

NV Emilio Lustau Jerez East India Solera $36.99/19.95 WA94 WS90

NV Emilio Lustau Jerez East India Solera
Emilio Lustau
A Sweet White Dessert wine from
Jerez, Andalucia, Spain

Wine Advocate # 159
Jun 2005 Robert Parker 94 Drink - $15-$30
Readers looking for something weighty, sweet, and provocative should check out the non-vintage East India Solera. A blend of soleras averaging 15 to 50 years of age, it boasts a dark amber color as well as a huge nose of melted toffee, caramel, figs, and prunes. This over-the-top yet surprisingly vibrant (because of good acidity) effort is best drunk as dessert at the end of a meal.

Rich and concentrated with coffee and caramel flavors in a balanced presentation. Picks up a grilled nut accent on the finish. Solid and complex, but not cloying. Drink now. –BS
