Campbells Isabella Rare Rutherglen Tokay NV | 375 ml.

SP98 Wine Spectator May 15, 2002

"Dense, rich, syrupy and utterly seductive, a sensational sweet dessert wine that drapes itself all over the palate, offering dried cherry and prune flavors at the core, with coffee, tar, brazil nut and sweet spices weaving through the finish as it sails on and on (and on). It manages to balance sweetness with refinement." (98 pts.)

RP98 Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 1st Dec 2006

"The more ancient soleras (usually the base wine is well over 60 years of age) are bottled under the “Rare” caption, and often flirt with perfection. The non-vintage Rare Tokay Isabella is slightly less sweet (293 grams of residual sugar per liter) with a lighter amber color than the Muscat Merchant Prince. Nevertheless, it possesses superb intensity as well as palate presence with hints of honeysuckle, raisins, black tea, marmalade, and toffee. This is an extraordinary beverage that must be tasted to be believed." (98 pts.)

RP97 Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 31st Oct 2002

"The prodigious non-vintage Rare Tokay Isabelle exhibits a dark amber color as well as acidity, and a penetrating, pungent bouquet of prunes, raisins, tea, marmalade, maple syrup, and coffee. It is enormously rich and unctuous. In spite of all the sweetness, its acid profile prevents it from being cloying or heavy. This is a remarkable effort with levels of texture and richness that must be tasted to be believed." (97 pts.)
