2018 Klein-Constantia Vin de Constance 500 ml 

HALF BOTTLES Ben Ryé offers an extraordinary rich bouquet with outstanding aromas obtained from the dried grapes: apricots and candied orange peel. It presents delicate hints of Mediterranean scrub (maquis). The palate is very fresh and intense,...

PRIMA Notes:  Sure, if you look, you can probably find a fair bit of 1996 Sauternes out there at auction or in the marketplace, but how many of them can boast of being in guaranteed-immaculate condition, freshly arrived from the actual cellar where...

Why not finish off your faux-Tuscan experience with a glass of Volpaia’s amazing Vin Santo.  One of the very few properties that takes this difficult-to-make but incredible-to-drink elixir seriously, theirs is an intense style with impressive...

 Colheita Ports are Tawnies which come from a single vintage and are  aged in 550 L old barrels for a minimum period of 7 years prior to  bottling. This wine is a delicious way to end off a meal and also  matches very well with...

Château Rieussec’s second wine is selected according to the same standards as the first wine. Its character consistently reveals a beautiful aromatic range dominated by citrus flavours. Carmes de Rieussec’s name is a reference to the...

Barolo Chinato was once peddled as a cure-all elixir, said to heal miscellaneous daily discomforts. Appropriately, the ingredients in the Fantino brothers’ Chinato read like a potions book: there’s Calissaja Quinine, Genziana, Colombo, and...

This is inviting, with a core of dark plum, blackberry and blueberry reduction notes scored by cocoa and Black Forest cake accents. Shows a plush feel on the finish, but isn't heavy-handed, ending with a graphite echo.

Winemaker Notes:  Very dark ruby color. The Touriga Nacional’s tiny yields brought great concentration to the wine, while the Touriga Franca created wines of great elegance. Concentrated berry aromasare equally present on the palate with a...

Dow’s is known for producing ports of intensity and focus from their two quintas, Bomfim and Ribeira. In 2016, these two parcels came together to create a wine with effusive black fruit, obvious minerality and floral undertones; finishing with...

This is a total spice box; more so than any other 2016 Vintage Port in house. Black pepper, ginger, clove, anise, orange peel, cinnamon and fruit cake notes were so beautifully entwined with plum, blackberry, violet, lavender and chocolate...

James Suckling, 97 PointsExtremely perfumed with dark-berry and currant aromas. Hints of earth and spices. Full-bodied, round and medium sweet. Hints of resin. Opulent yet restrained. Shows ripe and beautiful fruit with clarity. Try in 2025. Wine...

Wine Spectator, 97 PointsDensely packed, with lots of warmed fig, mulled blueberry, açai berry and blackberry paste flavors rolling through, scored with graphite and tar notes, carrying through a finish that has a smoldering feel. A long licorice...

Importer's Note:With wine making in his family blood, Vito Lauria decided to attend the University of Udine in Friuli where he obtained a degree in Enology in 2003. After stepping off the campus he worked at a number wineries in northern Italy for a few...

Winemaker's Note:The vines are farmed using biodynamic methods and harvested by hand. Gaston Huët believed this to be the greatest of all Vouvray vineyards. This ancient, walled vineyard has the estate’s shallowest, stoniest soils. The wines...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97 Points  The 2004 Quinta do Noval Nacional has a show-stopping bouquet that is cut from a completely different cloth than the 2004 Vintage. This is far more extravagant and decadent, with kirsch, camphor, incense and...
