Avignonesi 1995 Occhio di Pernice Prugnolo Gentile (Vin Santo di Montepulciano)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $210
Thick as molasses and dark as caramelized brown sugar, the wine oozes out of the bottle releasing concentrated aromas of butterscotch, toffee, honey, licorice, coffee, resin and maple syrup. Grapes from the Montepulciano area are dried in a ventilated room and the wine ages over 10 years in tiny oak barrels resulting in thick, dark concentration. Don’t pair it with…

Avignonesi 1997 Occhio di Pernice Prugnolo Gentile (Vin Santo di Montepulciano)
- Cellar Selection
- $237
This sweet wine from Italy is guaranteed to blow your socks off. Its thickness and density resembles concentrated maple syrup or molasses. It is made with Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) grapes that are air-dried and then aged in small wood containers for many careful years. The gorgeous aromas include roasted chestnuts, brown sugar, prunes and sweet figs and you can…

Château d'Yquem 2009 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
98-100 Barrel sample. The aromas are so rich and powerful, with great ripe apricots. There are honey, spice and beautiful sweet spiced pears. This is an extraordinary wine in an extraordinary year in Sauternes.

Domaine Huët 2009 Cuvée Constance 500ml Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $159
Even more concentrated than Huët’s superb 2009 Première Trie, this is outstanding. It has both great concentration and elegance. The wine is touched by botrytis, while retaining freshness. Made from ripe, just shrivelling grapes, this is sweet Vouvray at its magnificent best.

Kracher 2005 Zwischen den Steen Nummer 8 Trockenbeerenauslese Welschriesling (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $103
The intensity of the acidity, piercing through the sweetness, is what is astonishing about this wine. It gives the wine an ethereal quality, a lightness to go with the concentration of the dried fruits and orange zest flavors. The essence of TBA.

R.L. Buller & Son NV Calliope Rare Tokay (Rutherglen)
- Cellar Selection
- $120
Thick, dark brown and looking as much like molasses as wine, Buller’s Calliope Rare Tokay has a soy-like meatiness to it, a leathery note that adds complexity to its notes of treacle and rancio. Almost too sweet and syrupy, with an endless finish.

Château Climens 2007 White (Barsac)
- Cellar Selection
- $200
A big, rich wine, showing its gorgeous fruit easily. But with a core of dryness, the ripest apricots touched by caramel, it should age well over many years. There is intense power here, still hidden by the youth of the wine, but with final concentration.

Château Climens 2009 Barrel sample White (Barsac)
- Online Exclusive
97-99 Barrel sample. A tasting from several barrels, because the chateau has not made the final blend, so the rating is provisional. But the wine is so rich, with an almost perfect balance of acidity and ripeness, allied to a complete purity of honeyed botrytis. However the final wine turns out, it will be magnificent.
