Château Rieussec 2009 White (Sauternes)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
This closed, reticent wine promises to pack a rich, generous punch in the future. Its potential shows in the botrytis flavor and the touches of smoky wood and apricot jelly. With this leashed power, it promises to be a very fine wine.

Chambers Rosewood Vineyards NV Rare Muscat (Rutherglen)
- Cellar Selection
- $300
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…

Seppeltsfield 1987 Para Tawny Port (Barossa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $70
Seppeltsfield’s 1987 Para Tawny features ample rancio complexity coupled with candied citrus notes. It’s amazingly viscous, rich and mouthcoating, and seems to linger forever on the palate. Only 25 cases imported.

Château la Tour Blanche 2006 White (Sauternes)
- Cellar Selection
A rich ginger marmalade of a wine, with pear and spice syrup flavors. This is dense and textured, smooth and unctuous, but beautifully lifted by acidity. Impressive and ageworthy.

Château la Tour Blanche 2010 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
94-96 Concentrated, chunky, the richness just a part of the huge power. It's a wine of considerable density, very liquorous.

Château la Tour Blanche 2009 White (Sauternes)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
This is rich, exuding delicious sweetness, with a core of dense botrytis. An opulent, ripe apricot flavor accompanies the bittersweet orange and mirabelle fruit notes. The acidity, sweetness and concentration promise a great future for this wine.

Château Coutet 2006 White (Barsac)
- $50
It is the poise, the elegance of Coutet that shows so well in this delicious wine. It is ripe, with layers of apricot and peach, lifted with spice and an over-arching sweet acidity that gives the wine a wonderful, heart-stopping lift.

Longboard 2007 Late Harvest Sémillon (Sonoma Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
A gorgeous dessert wine. Supersweet in honey, apricot jam, orange blossom, crème brûlée and vanilla flavors, it’s balanced with rich acidity, and finishes with a spicy touch of smoke. Compelling and addictive, this is one of the best sweet wines of the year.
