Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2007, Veneto D.O.C., Italy: Smoky, dark and stately like Mr. Rochester… just as brooding too. Underneath a sensual layer of black fleshy ripe fruit and dark spices. Oh yes! Drink: 2011-2019. 356220 15% D 750 mL  $49.95 Score: 93/100. October 29, 2011 Top Rated Red Wine. Full Review

Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Old Tawny Port Taylor Fladgate tawny 10 ans, Port, Portugal: Vintages Wine Panel: A refined and subtle Port. Outstanding. Lovely aromas of flan, caramel and egg custard with a hint of toffee. Medium-bodied, with a light sweetness and a refined, clean finish. Tastes older than 10 years. Drink now. My notes: Generous caramel goodness with rich layers of toffee, almonds and brown spices. This is a superb after-dinner drink, one of my favorites. This wine is part of the Vintages Essentials Collection. 121749 20% S 750 mL  $34.95 Score: 91/100. April 21, 2009 Full Review
