The N.V. Fine Tokay is
amber colored with flavors of honey, fig, citrus fruits, and
orange marmalade. It is well balanced and has a long, pure
finish.
R. L. Buller & Son was started in 1921 by the grandfather of
Andrew Buller, the current winemaker. The winery remains one of
the quality leaders in the production of sweet wines from the
warm terroir of Rutherglen. Moreover, the wines cannot be
duplicated anywhere else in the world.

The dark-amber-hued Premium
Fine Tokay offers sumptuous notes of spice box, Christmas
pudding, figs, brown sugar, and molasses.
This blend represents the newest bottled offerings from this
Rutherglen producer, an area that produces spectacular
fortifieds, especially the Muscats and Tokays (actually
Muscadelle). Its freshness, good acidity, soaring aromatics, and
unctuous flavors must be tasted to be believed.

The medium garnet-colored
non-vintage Premium Fine Tawny is a knock-out, revealing smoky,
spicy, nutty notes intermixed with caramel and marmalade
characteristics. These Australian treasures are fabulous to
drink at the end of a meal. Moreover, once opened, they will
hold for several weeks, sometimes longer.

This wine is nearly
flawless. Fabulously perfumed as well as unctuously textured, it
offers incredible notes of prunes, raisins, honey, molasses,
roasted nuts, etc., etc. Australia continues to be a treasure
trove for fortified, after-dinner wines. Once bottled, they do
not change, and often age up to a decade where well stored.
After opening, most will last for a week. This is one of the top
wine discoveries of this year's tastings. Many consumers are
going to be overjoyed with this offering.
