Chambers Rosewood Vineyards NV Rare Muscat (Rutherglen)

Cellar Selection

Price $300

Score Chasers: NZ & AU 2011

Not a Cellar Selection in the traditional sense of requiring additional aging, this venerable wine (it contains some material over 100 years old) is ready to drink now, but should hold in the bottle indefinitely. It’s dark coffee-brown, with delectable aromas of rancio, pressed flowers, molasses and honey, yet despite enormous concentration avoids excessive weight… — J.C. (2/1/2011)

Campbells NV Isabella Rare Tokay (Rutherglen)

Cellar Selection

Price $97

Top 100 Cellar Selections 2011

Score Chasers: NZ & AU 2011

Dark amber in color and going greenish at the rim, the basis of this wine is clearly old stocks going back well over 60 years. It’s full-bodied, unctuous and superrich, oozing with molasses and rancio character, but balanced by citrusy notes. The finish is incredibly sweet and long, coating the mouth with coffee-like essences that linger for minutes. — J.C. (2/1/2011)

R.L. Buller & Son NV Calliope Rare Tokay (Rutherglen)

Editors' Choice

Price $86

Just a tiny serving of this dark nectar will last a long time. The malty, porter-ish aromas intrigue, followed by incredibly rich and syrupy flavors accompanied by mouthwatering acids and enormous peristence. Layers of complexity gradually unfold in the glass, revealing hints of honey, caramel and beguiling rancio notes. — J.C. (12/15/2007)

Chambers Rosewood Vineyards NV Rare Muscadelle (Rutherglen)

Cellar Selection

Price $300

Incredibly concentrated and intense, this dark coffee-colored wine coats the glass and the palate with waves of luxuriously sweet, raisiny flavors. Layers of complexity follow in the form of rancio, dried fig and molasses, with a citrusy edge providing life and freshness to the nearly endless finish. — J.C. (2/1/2011)

Campbells NV Isabella Rare Tokay (Rutherglen)

Editors' Choice

Price $85

Campbells utilizes a modified solera system, so small portions of this blend are 60 or more years of age, imparting an incredibly elegant note of rancio. Luscious raisins and toffee bring intensely concentrated, sweet flavors, impeccably balanced. This is not in the immense blockbuster style, instead showing great harmony and purity, with all its pieces in nearly… — J.C. (12/15/2007)

Campbells NV Merchant Prince Rare Muscat (Rutherglen)

Cellar Selection

Price $97

A deep mahogany in color, the Merchant Prince Rare Muscat boasts dense date, fudge and molasses components balanced by rancio, citrusy accents and even some floral notes. Despite being incredibly sweet and sticky, there’s a freshness to it that keeps it from being overwhelming. — J.C. (2/1/2011)

Campbells NV Merchant Prince Rare Muscat (Rutherglen)

Editors' Choice

Price $85

This wine has the rich hue of dark coffee in the glass, greening a bit at the rim. Aromas and flavors of Guinness stout, raisin and coffee fully saturate the senses, picking up hints of spicecake on the enormously long finish. Incredibly sweet, yet it’s still drinkable. — J.C. (12/15/2007)

Chambers Rosewood Vineyards NV Grand Muscat (Rutherglen)

Cellar Selection

Price $100

The Grand level of Chambers’ offerings may be the best compromise between expense, rarity and quality. This Grand Muscat boasts knockout scents of dried flowers, tea leaves and rancio, while the flavors are date-like in sweet intensity but accompanied by floral qualities and impeccable freshness. — J.C. (2/1/2011)
