Dessert, Fortified & Fruit Wine by Trevor Jones from Barossa Valley, Australia. Number 70 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007! What a sensational value! Made by Trevor Jones in partnership with importer Dan Philips, this is a blend averaging 46 years in age. Its light to medium ruby hue is accompanied by an extraordinary bouquet of sweet candied fruit intermixed with notions of maple syrup, earth, and hazelnuts.

Dessert, Fortified & Fruit Wine by Achaia Clauss from Greece. This thick, purple mavrodaphne reserve has gone the way of a tawny Port, age simultaneously lightening and deepening its flavors. Now the fruit is more baked apple and apricot, while the freshness has turned to truffle, spice and deep caramel. Most remarkedly, the sweetness has mellowed considerably, giving plenty of ripe flavors while finishing light and clean. -Wines & Spirits
