A luminous dessert blend of Fiano and Falanghina, Privilegio is an opulent and creamy wine with sweet tones of candied fruit, honey and white almond that last long on the palate. Pair this beauty with a platter of aged cheese and sweet marmalade. ——M.L.(12/31/2011)—— 92

Privilegio (made with a blend of white grapes from Campania, in southern Italy, that are dried on racks after the harvest) delivers musky and sophisticated aromas of bright fruit, natural rubber, apricot, almond paste and baked apple pie. It tastes sweet and syrupy but remains lively and bright to the end. ——M.L.(12/15/2008)—— 91

Everything about this dessert wine—its color, consistency and body—is smooth and seductive until your nose encounters a solid wall of wood. A tad too much toast, in my opinion, translates into blackened bread crust and peanut oil warming in an iron skillet and makes it difficult to locate the dried flowers and fruit aromas. Yet the wood does frame the wine’s sweetness nicely and some may love it. ——M.L.(10/1/2006)—— 87
