WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 4/1/2022 This amber-colored late-harvest wine from Tokaj has aromas of honeycomb and white flowers, especially jasmine and freesia. In the mouth, it has nice fruit sweetness and flavors of clover honey, ripe apricot and yellow peach.WS9090 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 12/21 This is a charming, easy-going dessert wine, light and honeyed, with sweet, floral notes of litchi and peach. It’s balanced by a slight bitterness that suggests this would pair well with savory food; or serve it chilled as an aperitif.
SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Dec 15, 2021 A deeply hued, golden sweetie that’s beautifully fragrant, with mouth-coating flavors of glazed apricot, candied ginger and salted caramel layered upon aromas of ground cardamom, orange blossom, incense and myrrh. Lightly mouthwatering and harmonious throughout, with a lasting, spiced finish. Drink now through 2028. 350 cases imported.
WE9595 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/31/2019 Golden amber in the glass, this delightful Hungarian sweet wine has aromas of canned apricot, ripe peach and white flowers. In the mouth, there are flavors of lemon curd, peach and apricot, with nice heft and balance on the palate. Increased acidity keeps this wine absolutely delicious and not too sweet.SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2020 Like fine cashmere, this is richly plush in texture, yet remains weightless on the palate, where a tang of salinity and orange peel acidity freshens the expressive glazed apricot, passion fruit pâte de fruit and Marcona almond flavors. Exotic ground spice and perfumed floral notes create a heady, aromatic overtone on the lasting finish. Furmint, Hárslevelü, Zéta and Sárga Muskotály. Drink now through 2030. 1,583 cases made.
WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 2/1/2011 Yalumba’s Muscat includes some lots from outside Rutherglen, but it’s still an excellent example of fortified Muscat, featuring hints of caramelized cherries and a sweet, complex mélange of caramel, toffee and chocolate balanced by citrusy freshness.SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Apr 30, 2012 Sweet, bordering on syrupy, but nicely held in check by sufficient acidity, allowing the coffee, sassafras, vanilla and clotted cream flavors to glide effortlessly through the expressive finish. Drink now. 2,000 cases imported.WS9191 pts. - Wine & Spirits - October 31, 2009 If you like old tawnies from the Douro, here’s an impressive alternative at a remarkable price. The flavors don’t stop, from apricot to lemon, roasted hazelnut, caramel, orange marmalade, honey and honeydew rind — something tangy and slightly rancio, along with something refreshing to hold the wine’s sweetness in check. It’s delicate, in fact, harmonious, with a slow fade that encourages another sip.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Jun 2016 Pale tawny-brown with a green rim, the NV Museum Release Muscat is full of raisins and dates on the nose; the aromatics are very perfumed, spicy and lifted, with some praline notes in the background. This Muscat is so sweet and rich, with notes of liquid sultanas, as well as concentration, length and spice on the palate.
RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Jun 2019 The 2017 Riesling Ice Wine comes in with 190 grams of residual sugar, 9.3 of total acidity and 8.7% alcohol. This was frozen the old-fashioned way — on the vine. All you have to do is smell this to know what comes next. The sugar is obvious, of course, but the fruit is very ripe and concentrated, with the essence of the grape dribbling across the palate. The finish is long. This is spectacular now, so delicious that it will make you swoon. Actually, you might do that just from smelling the ripe apricots. Actually tasting it will be when you add the ooohs and aaahs. As delicious as it is, it is also balanced by good acidity.
ST9191 pts. - Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar - Sep/Oct 2007 Bright gold. Ripe peach and apricot scents are deepened by buttery toffee and toasted nuts. Silky, sweet and pure, displaying an array of caramelized orchard and pit fruit flavors. Lush and open-knit on the long, sappy finish. This is a dessert by itself.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 1st Oct 2006 Somewhat under the radar for American consumers is Elderton’s top-class Semillon Botrytis. The 2005, a Sauternes look-alike, reveals aromas of creme brulee, buttery pineapple, and toasty oak in its rich, moderately sweet personality. Good background acidity and structure suggest it will evolve nicely for a decade.
WS9494 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 04/21 Inniskillin’s 2018 gold-label vidal ice wine stands out for the freshness of its flavors — with bright lemon, juicy peach and fresh date notes that add dimension and clarity to the darker tones of beeswax and baked pear. It is, in fact, very easy to drink despite its 240 grams per liter of sugar; some hard biscotti might help you pace yourself.RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 13th May 2021 The 2018 Gold Vidal Icewine was fermented for about three weeks in new French oak and then aged for another three months in French oak. It comes in with 234 grams of residual sugar, 10.5 of total acidity and 9.5% alcohol. On paper, this should be brighter and fresher than the 2018 unoaked ice wine, but the oak flattens it out. The wood gives it a lusher and richer texture but subdues both the fruit and whatever freshness it had. That’s somewhat deceptive, as the acidity is still there, but the perceptible balance certainly changes. This just seems to be more on the stolid and brooding side. On the one hand, that means it never seems to go over the top in unctuousness, but on the other hand, the flavors are rather submerged. I’d personally rather have any of the unoaked versions, but reasonable minds might differ. The price references a half bottle.SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2021 Thickly textured and opulent, this dessert style reveals apricot, peach, jasmine and honey flavors. Lively and long, dried apricot echoes on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 1,070 cases made, 565 cases imported.WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2021 A thick streak of pineapple slices through this dense, almost syrupy dessert wine. Candied fruits are at the core, a mix of apricot, peach, papaya and citrus. Running through the long finish are hints of brown sugar, maple sugar and honey. It is finished at 240 g/L of residual sugar.
