Very sweet
888. Royal Tokaji Wine Company, Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos, 2007
No label from this one… because it never had one! After a cellar flood at the importers, a mixed-bag of 2007 5 and 6 …
880. Peller Estates, Riesling Ice Wine Niagara Peninsula, 2011
The way to balance a whopping 244 g/L sugar? 11.5 g/L acidity! Quite a stunning wine in the sense of its balance at such …

A bit of an exam curiosity, this one. Made by cutting the canes on ripening Riesling bunches, so that they shrivel and concentrate the …
578. Equipo Navazos, La Bota de Pedro Ximénez No. 25 Sherry, NV (2011)
A balanced mix of the ‘raisin’ and ‘chocolate’ styles of Pedro Ximenez. And very, very good. A deep, deep, red-brown, with a narrow, amber-caramel …
