Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine has the rich hue of dark coffee in the glass, greening a bit at the rim. Aromas and flavors of Guinness stout, raisin and coffee fully saturate the senses, picking up hints of spicecake on the enormously long finish. Incredibly sweet, yet it’s still drinkable.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dark amber in color and going greenish at the rim, the basis of this wine is clearly old stocks going back well over 60 years. It’s full-bodied, unctuous and superrich, oozing with molasses and rancio character, but balanced by citrusy notes. The finish is incredibly sweet and long, coating the mouth with coffee-like essences that linger for minutes.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A deep mahogany in color, the Merchant Prince Rare Muscat boasts dense date, fudge and molasses components balanced by rancio, citrusy accents and even some floral notes. Despite being incredibly sweet and sticky, there’s a freshness to it that keeps it from being overwhelming.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This Durif (a variety better known to Americans as Petite Sirah) has dark fruit, eucalyptus and bready flavors, and some stewed fruit and slight stemminess on the nose. It finishes with the same dark fruit that it has on the palate, plus some brown earth. Somewhat of a lightweight for its variety.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
One of the most drinkable Tokays is this entry-level offering from Campbells. It’s only light amber in color, suggesting its youth, while the fruit comes through as citrus and apricot laced with clove and caramel. It’s sweet but not overbearing.

If there’s nothing special to recommend here, there’s also nothing awry. Leather and earth join modest tart berry flavors. Finishes dry and tough; it’s an austere wine that probably needs food to come alive. —J.C.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine has an uncertain future, hence the less-than-enthusiastic rating. On first opening, it’s mute on the nose and simply earthy and dull on the palate, with a dry, dusty finish. Later on, it opened up some and showed some nice aged fruit as well, then shut down again. —J.C.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine is so intensely textured and flavored, you’ve got to brace yourself. Packed with ultra sweet honey, peach, dried apricot, toast, walnut, coffee, caramel, licorice and sesame notes, it holds onto the palate with bright acidity and length. Massive.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From one of Rutherglen's most noted producers, there are lovely apple, cinammon and peach flavors on the palate that fade into a buttery finish. There's more apple on the nose, plus pickling spices, prunes and pickle-barrel. An odd mix, but still an enticing one.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fresh and vibrant, with perfumed, orange-like aromas, this is an excellent introduction to the Rutherglen Muscat style. It’s not as full bodied or rich as some versions, but instead shows off the youthful components of the blend, ending with pronounced citrus notes.
