1998 Domaine Weinbach Gewürztraminer VT.
1982 Santino Riesling TBA
I had a 2000 Coffaro Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest Estate on Sunday. Brought by someone to top off our first dinner indoors at a restaurant with others in over a year. Blind, I would have guessed Vin Santo. The RS was 140 gms/ltr. A bit of nice acidity to balance it but it was not sharp. The flavor was sherry/madeira, rather than tropical citrus and pineapple. Very nice.
Drinking this rather lovely 30 year old White Tawny Port from Quinta da Davesa. Extremely floral with sweet vanilla, soft caramel, and muscaty grape flavors.

Yesterday , we had an excellent chateau d’Arche 1898 . The wine was still showing sweet fruit , honey and caramel . Amazing that it aged that well ( this was my second bottle of this in a few months , both were excellent ) . Then an Yquem 1881 , dried out and shot unfortunately .
They make some very nice Ports and are only becoming a bit more known in the past few years.
And it’s Devesa 
1998 Chateau Rayne-Vigneau Sauternes
Opened this today for Greek Easter… I am not Greek, nor religious, but happy I have family who is, since it gave me an excuse to open this along with a few other delicious dry aged red wines.
Also recently opened 10 yr taylor fladgate, and im wondering why I dont have a bottle opened and in my fridge at all times. Doesnt compete with the 20 or 40 yr, but really great qpr imo. If anyone has thoughts on similar affordable ports, I am all ears!
NV Chambers Rare Muscat that I’ve had in the cellar for 15 years or so - you’d never know it had any age on it.

Me, too. Bottled in 2013. This particular bottle is much more acidic than the others I’ve opened from the same purchase and the best of the lot so far.
One of the best post WWII Madeira.
2011 Quevedo Vintage Port from a half-bottle.
Don Gonzalo Oloroso 20 yr Jerez Palomino Fino Sherry.
This bottle blew my mind. One of the saltiest wines I’ve ever tasted. Honestly still thinking about it even after I drank it a week ago with some friends (just discovered this thread now).

Oloroso or Fino? Two opposing styles.
2014 Chapoutier Les Coufis
Viognier vin de paille bought at Chapoutier’s tasting room in Tain-l’Hermitage; unapologetically large scaled peach and honeyed tropical fruit, with a rich creaminess and persistence; somewhat miraculously, there is a little raciness that helps it escape being cloying or gloopy, and I’m left to rue my decision to buy 1 instead of 6; a triumph for Chapoutier, and one I’d be happy to put up against any young Sauternes save Yquem; good plus
Oloroso, my bad. Copy and pasted to get the producer correct.
1962 Chateau Climens
From 375. Dark amber color, and a Cork that crumbled into the bottle, but the wine is in perfect condition- seemingly ageless. Stunning Climens that has dropped a lot of the sweetness, with bracing acidity, iodine, oyster shell, white mushroom, confit grapefruit, and some saffron-almond-apricot overtones. Great bedfellows with an apricot-rhubarb frangipane tart. Just lovely and impossibly fresh for a 60 year old wine - if this bottle is representative, it seems likely to drink well through the century mark.

1997 Huet Le Mont Moelleux.
Chateau Doisy-Vedrines 2010 Sauternes. Lots of tropical fruit on this one. Classic créme brulée flavors as well, of course. There was a good hint of botrytis glycerin tingle when I first opened but it seems to have faded away now. Still pretty delicious.
Well let’s see… Offley 20 yr tawny Port, Cockburn’s Fine White Port (for port and tonic with mint), Graham’s Six Grapes, Smith Woodhouse 20 yr tawny Port, and some others. not a bad one in the bunch
