Antolini Recioto Della Valpolicella Classico 2007: Until the final processes, Recioto is made in the identical manner as the dry-styled Amarone. This sweeter style actually predates Amarone by centuries. Reciotos use the same grapes (mostly Corvina and Rondinella) and the grapes are also mat-dried for a long period after harvest. Amarones cannot be pressed before December 1st after harvest; Reciotos not until January 1st. That extra month creates even sweeter grapes. Producers tend not to oak age the wines as it leads to an unwanted oxidative character. This richly plummy and almost chocolatey version is great on its own or serve with dark chocolate.

Beringer Nightingale Botrytised Semillon/sauvignon Blanc 2006: Full gold. High-toned aromas of apricot, honeycomb and barley sugar, plus a hint of sultana raisin. Sweet and unctuous but with unexpected lift to the honeyed, pure botrytis flavors. A note of nutty oak complements the wine without overwhelming its fruit. This suave midweight finishes with a savory quality to go with its dried fruit sweetness. This is made by spraying botrytis spores onto perfectly mature fruit, notes winemaker Hook, who suggests pairing it with blue cheeses or warm roasted pistachios. Score - 91.

Bodegas Navarro 15 Years Old Medium Dry Montilla-moriles: Montilla-Moriles is a small appellation northeast of Jerez, near the beautifully preserved Moorish city of Cordoba. Similar in many respects to Sherry, Montilla wines are based on the Pedro Ximénez grape (whereas Sherry is based on Palomino). PX (for short) plays an unusual role in giving this wine a mature, dry, crisp character, while the barrels used for ageing have created a delicate balance between the grape's natural sweetness and the oak's attractive bitterness. Chilled, this wine is very refreshing with soup or fish courses. It's an incredible value for a fortified wine of this age and quality.

Château Naïrac 2007: TASTING NOTE: This Barsac has supreme purity on the nose, but it is tightly coiled at the moment. Very fine definition with notes of honey, tangerine, quince juice and minerals. The palate is just gorgeous: a vibrant entry with very fine acidity, honey, barley sugar, apricot, white peach and a touch of mandarin. If I am to quibble, then perhaps it is not quite demonstrating the length I was hoping for, but this remains an excellent Nairac, an estate that is producing better wines than ever. Drink now-2040. Score: 94 (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, April 2010)
