What other dessert wines (outside of Port) which can age and continue to be awesome? Had a 75 Rieussec (purchased from Premier Cru) and it was soooooooo awesome.
I am starting to collect more sauternes and other dessert wines but want a better strategy to collect/drink for the next 30yrs.
Thanks in advance.
Austrian and German TBA aka Trockenbeerenauslese.
Tokay Essencia. German TBA and eiswein. Some of the great Loire sweeties.
Funny two suggestions for TBA, what about BA and Auslesen?
Loire Chenin.
Vamsi- Try a Bual from the '50s or '60s.
The above. The sweet version of Vin de Paille can be lovely. Vin Santo or Recioto, but you have to be careful to get a good one.
Tran not mentioning Ontario Icewine? What’s the world coming to???
The Klein Constantia Vin de Constance (South African from Muscat de Frontignan grapes) can be a terrific experience.
Lastly, Vendages Tardives and Selection de Grains Noble----I actually prefer VTs to SGNs myself.
But Sauternes still king 
That 75 D’Yquem is a good 'un.
I am not a huge fan of most Sauternes. Not enough acid for me. I mean d’Yquem is great, of course, and I love more elegant wines such as Climens and Lafaurie-Peyraguey, but beyond a few, I would rather have sweet wines from the Loire or, my favorites, from Germany or Alsace. Try Trimbach.
A word every sweet wine lover should know - Eiswein.
Right: there are many many outstanding great dessert wines produced in Austria, mainly but not exclusively around the lake Neusiedel, TBAs, BAs, Eisweine, Ausbruch, Strohweine of high quality -and I do not have to mention Kracher alone, there are many (Feiler-Artinger, Umathum, Schröck, Triebaumer, Tschida, Haider, Schönberger, Nittnaus and many others) from many different varieties …
Sure the style is different from Sauternes (sometimes very sweet), but not necesseraly worse. Remember Kracher once won over Yquem ! 
No need to talk about Germany or Loire … there are also fine wines …
German or Austrian Auslese, BA, TBA, Eiswein
Loire Moelleux in general, Foreau Goutte d’Or, Pinon Cuvee Botrytis, Huet Cuvee Constance
Navarro Late Harvest Cluster Select
Anything from Trimbach with the words Hors Choix in it
For Sauternes I like the vintages with good acidity (e.g., 1986, 1988, 2001…)
I’m not much of a Sauternes fan in general, but was lucky enough to have the '75 d’Yquem last year. I liked that Sauternes. ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}
Quarts de Chaume
Banyuls, when you can find them, also age well.
The icewines are nice (USA, Canada) but I don’t think they will age that well, but it’s not something I have first hand experience with (aged ones that is).
The tokaji’s at the higher level promise long aging, but they are a different flavor profile, so taste some older ones before laying them down.
Alsace and the Loire also have some offerings, which tend to have more verve than Sauternes.
I think dessert wines that are meant for aging either have to containg sugar, acidity, or some oxidation so its really a question of what you enjoy.
It’s fuzzy since it was so long ago, but I think my first Sauternes was also a 75, and it too woke up that sweet tooth.
As stated before, German or Austrian Auslese, BA, TBA, Eiswein.

The 1968 D’Oliveiras Bual is fantastic.
The '75 Rieussec is awesome. '75 is a Great vintage for Sauternes, but most vintages of Sauternes don’t exhibit as much acidity. Look to '88 and '01. '89 and '90’s can be a little (if not more) fat. '96 has good acidity, but not a lot of botrytis.
German BA and TBA’s, Alsatian SGN’s, and Loire QdC’s (or similar) can all be great. But be careful, as all have their pitfalls and overrated duds. Unless you like a glass of sugar wine, look for wines with good botrytis and plenty of acid.
Ganevat Vin de Paille.
Just kidding, you’ll never find it.
Loire Chenin.
What is ganevats paille? Is it the sur q?
Massandra from Crimea. Some of the most ageworthy wines in the world.
