92 pts, Robert Parker, Jr.'s, The Wine Advocate "These blends represent the newest bottled offerings from this Rutherglen producer, an area that produces spectacular fortifieds, especially the Muscats and Tokays (actually Muscadelle). Their freshness, good acidity, soaring aromatics, and unctuous flavors must be tasted to be believed. The real values are the less expensive cuvees generally produced from 5- to 6-year-old solera systems...The Victoria Tawny exhibits a medium garnet color in addition...

Now here is something you don’t see every day – a Port style wine from Australia! The R.L. Buller winery in Rutherglen is specialized in fortified wines. Decadence best describes this delicious wine made from a unique blend of Carina, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Shiraz. Sweet cherry fruit harmonizes with caramel and almond flavors in this medium bodied, well balanced wine that has a fresh nutty finish. Ideal after dinner treat! Serve at room temperature.

The Victoria Tawny is a remarkable, sweet, concentrated, complex Tawny that can easily compete with Portugal's finest ... at a fraction of the price. 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.

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. Drink 2002 - 2012.

Sweet fruit flavors combined with developed porty characters. Hints of rancio. Well integrated spirit. Clean fresh finish. Staff Review: Prime On Christmas Eve we had our annual family gathering to celebrate the holidays. After dinner, we stepped out to the garage to enjoy cigars and libations; we’re forbidden to smoke in the house. My contribution was the Buller Tawny Port from Australia.

R.L. Buller "Fine" Tawny Port Rutherglen Victoria (375ml)
- While it is true that the greatest strides in Australian winemaking have come in the last 30 years or so, commercial viticulture began as early as the 1820s and has developed uninterrupted ever since. The majority of the great Region are in the southeastern area of the continent, with the Barossa Valley, Claire Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra in South Australia, the Yarra Yarra Velley and Pyrenees in Victoria and the Upper and Lower Hunter Valleys in New South Wales. Many of the wines from...

Tawny Ports mature in wood casks, losing their youthful purple color, and developing the rich, tawny, nut brown hue referred to in the name. The Aussies have been making Port-style "stickies" for generations and the vineyards of Rutherglen have proven to be a superb source for these wines. The R.L. Buller winery was established in 1921 and produces superb stickies. When we visited the winery we were impressed by the dozens of large old casks containing the precious reserve wines, which are used to...
