POINTS
The 2001 Vin San Laurentino emerges - or rather oozes - from the glass with scents of toffee, espresso, baking spices, and dried flowers. With a staggering 288 grams of residual sugar, the San Laurentino saturates the palate from start to finish in a rich, opulent style that must be tasted to be believed.

POINTS
“Like a cross between an Oloroso Sherry and Beerenauslese, this dessert white offers dried apricot and peach fruit combined with walnut and caramel flavors. Beautifully integrated and harmonious, ending on iodine and caramel notes.”
