With 8.1% residual sugar, this is a sweet wine. Honey flavors dominate, with underlying notes of apricots, tangerines and golden mangoes. It could be more concentrated and intense, but the sweetness is attractive. Drink now.——S.H.(3/1/2012)—— 87

With 11.1% residual sugar, this is a sweet wine, but it’s also a little simple. That brown sugar and honey sweetness is delicious, by definition, but the underlying flavors are a little disappointing.——S.H.(10/1/2008)—— 85

Odd as it may sound, it smells like coconut cream pie with a baked meringue topping, all swimming in apricot puree. It’s sweet but not achingly so, at 7.1% residual sugar, with enough acidity to balance it. It has a luscious, creamy mouthfeel. It seems young and tight despite the opulence; probably it will improve with age in a cool cellar. Best Buy.——S.H.(12/31/2000)—— 90

At 21.5% residual sugar, this is as rich and luscious as it gets. There’s tremendous fruit concentration and layers of flavor that just keep coming. When a wine like this is on offer, just drink your dessert.——L.W.(9/1/1999)—— 92
