Colour: pale yellow. Nose: acacia flowers, honey. Palate: very rich, honeyed. A wine of exceptional complexity and balance, it should approach its peak in five to six years.  more

Copain James Berry Roussanne 2005

The 2005 Roussanne is fleshier and fuller bodied than the 2004 version. The underlying minerality of the site does shine through and keeps the wine focused and interesting. Flavors and aromas of lemon curd, chalk, and subtle toasty nuances are full yet kept in check by the underlying wet stone, ... more

Dolce Winery Late Harvest Wine 2002

The 2002 Dolce is youthful in its forward presentation of fruit aromas and flavors. Melon and citrus notes suggest canteloupe and orange rind. The honeysuckle Botrytis character is particularly strong in the mouth, as is Dolce's signature silky texture and long, mouthwatering finish. More subtle flavors of toasted almonds, fig, ... more

The layers of fruit and complex tertiary aromas lead to a ... more

Domaine Gauby Cotes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes 2003

Two Hands For Love or Money Semillon 2004

Although Two Hands’ sweet wines do not quite measure up to the other strong cuvees, the 2004 Semillon Cane Cut For Love or Money is a very good effort. Medium to full-bodied with attractive honeyed sweetness, the wine possesses some funk and disjointedness. I have a slight preference for the ... more

A strong-willed Florentine golden Aszú in perfect balance from start to finish. A vibrant dessert wine that carries a lovely bouquet comprised of peach, apricots and white flowers.

A refined attack with a rich mouth feel, good weight and textures of gently-flamed caramel, quince and orange ... more
