Here at the Vinfolio offices, we recently opened a bottle of 1975 Barsac that had been marked for disposal. This particular bottle was nothing to look at -- the capsule was corroded, the cork was soaked through, and the label was bin-soiled -- yet it was still utterly magnificent. Layers of honeysuckle and dried apricots swirled from our glasses as we marveled at the amazing preservative power of these fine sweet wines. Today we're offering a selection of wines from Sauternes and Barsac, all of which are ready to drink now or to age for another 35 years, and all of which are in excellent condition. Be sure to review this list carefully, as there are 95 to 100-point wines to be found, both in the wine store inventory and in the Vinfolio Marketplace with BuyNow prices.

Highlights include:

• 1990 Suduiraut (95 WS) $74.95 - "[A] botrytis bomb...loads of spicy, almond and toffee character with pineapple fruit...sweet and very, very ripe...Blistering long finish...amazing...[You] can age [this] as long as you like..." - James Suckling, Wine Spectator

• 1976 Yquem (96 WS) $695.00 - "...silky and beautifully creamy in the mouth. Medium-bodied, there's nothing heavy or big here, just a sense of harmony. So ethereal, it's the sort of wine one could drink almost every night." - Per-Henrik Mansson, Wine Spectator

• 1990 Yquem (99 WA) BuyNow in The Vinfolio Marketplace for $375.00 - "...a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine...lots of elegance and finesse...nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, coconut, and apricots...well-integrated acidity...seamless...a wine of remarkable harmony and purity...one of the richest Yquems I have ever tasted, with 50-100 years of potential longevity. An awesome Yquem!" - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
