A good Moscato di Noto, golden in the glass, with a nose of dried figs and honey, well balanced in acidity — 10 years ago

It is interesting to note that Neipoort crafts primarily Port wines, so this dry red table wine that is a field blend from 70+ year-old vines is intriguing. The nose is almost Port-like with deep perfumy notes of plums, sultana, roasted black cherry, expresso and liqueur and spice…leaning toward, cardamom and white pepper. Silky on entry, yet totally gutsy and dry, with a core of fruit wrapped in refined tannins and moderate acidity. Dried apricot on the finish. — 10 years ago

Sultana, leather, tobacco on the nose... Sweet creamy, vanilla tannins on the palate. Obsessed with this family... — 11 years ago

Fashionable Jura over-performing. Sultana & grappa packaged beautifully. — 10 years ago

Tried this at a Robert Parker event about 100 point wines. For the price this is an amazing dessert wine with really long finish and loads of sultana flavour. Love it! — 10 years ago

Nice. Sultana to start but smooths out after airing. Sharp. — 11 years ago

Sigh me more, @forlornhopewine: Sultana Aixa al-Horrocks suddenly, spontaneously, unexpectedly, without mincing words, rebuked her son Boabdil: 'Llora como mujer lo que no supiste guardar y defender como un hombre.' — 12 years ago

Very good indeed. Mushroom, liquorice, blackcurrant, sultana, prune, dark treacle, very interesting. Saline, sweet dark fruits, forest floor, umami, sweet tobacco.
Not hugely long but complex, sweet. Very nice.

Character is an amontillado sherry made off dry by the addition of Pedro Ximénez. It shows a bright golden amber in the glass. At once saline and sweet, the bouquet includes date, sultana, salted caramel, nut shells and maple syrup. The interplay of sweet and savory is divine. Nearly dry and pillowy in texture, the soft palate is cut by zesty citrus notes and heaps of walnut character. Intense mushroom sprouts along the endless finish while a salty tinge lingers on the throat. Incredible value for $12. — 11 years ago

It may not be wine but it's surely not far off it. The Brewer Søren Eriksen even describes this (his) beer as "vinous". The sultana and pinot noir flavours certainly come through in addition to roasted cloves (if that can even be described as a flavour). Delicious! — 12 years ago
