Rich and syrupy yet not overly heavy, this unctuous dessert wine boasts aromas and flavors of honeyed nuts, dried apricots and orange marmalade. Long and sweet on the finish, with enough sugar to stand up to fairly sweet desserts, although it might be at its best with blue cheese. Imported by Winemonger.com.

Rich and viscous in the mouth, this is a sweet wine with some intriguing notes. Hints of thyme join orange marmalade scents on the nose, while the flavors bring in nuances of chocolate and herbs. Lasts a long time on the finish.

A golden-orange color with flecks of brown gives the (correct) impression of great ripeness. This is an unctuously sweet TBA, filled with layers of brown sugar, honey, caramel and figs, accented by dried spices. Long and honeyed on the finish.

Top-notch Austrian Chardonnay, with lovely aromas of citrus and honey-nut Cheerios matched by lemon custard and toasted whole-grain flavors. Layered and rich, yet balanced by zesty acidity. Imported by Winemonger.com.

Dark gold in color, this is a full-bodied dessert wine that fades quickly on the finish. Minty, peppery, wintergreen scents start it off, adding in caramel, honey and cooked-fruit flavors on the palate. A bit strange, but good.

Decent enough Chardonnay, but vaguely anonymous, with plump apple and pear fruit covered by smoky, leesy notes, toasted marshmallow and charred oak.

Still a good wine, but not up to the fine quality of the 2001. Buttered toast seems to dominate, with nutty, melony notes more of an afterthought. Imported by Winemonger.com.

Dominated by charred wood, with aromas of burnt marshmallow taking the lead. Has a decent texture and flavors of lemon and butter along with a short finish. Imported by Winemonger.com.
