"Year in and year out, Dolce is one of California's greatest sweet dessert wines, and in 2005, it may stand supreme. It's an impossibly rich wine, mainly because the botrytis mold developed perfectly in this fine vintage. Shows fabulous flavors of apricot purĂ©e, vanilla-infused crĂȘme brulĂ©e, pineapple sorbet and candied ginger, balanced with brilliant acidity. The residual sugar is 12 percent."
