Antinori Pian Delle Vigne Brunello Di Montalcino 2009, Tuscany D.O.C.G., Italy: Tanned leather, cigar box and dried tobacco: lovely tertiary aromas of a mature wine that has bouquet not just aroma. I would drink now (because I'm a hedonist) but I suppose you could wait. But why really? Drink: 2013-2018. 651141 14% D 750 mL  $81.95 Score: 90/100. May 2, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine.

Château Suduiraut 2011, Sauternes, Bordeaux A.C., France: Apricot golden goodness and peach preserve lovely. This full-bodied Bordeaux dessert wine is a traditional blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon that derives its sweetness from botrytis (noble rot) just as does its most famous cousin Chateau d'Yquem. Pair with fruit-based desserts and those with a touch of caramel. Drink: 2014-2022. 296012 13.50% S 375 mL  $55.85 Score: 95/100. April 18, 2015 Top Rated Dessert Wine.
