4440 Tor Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2012Tierra Roja Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Tierra Roja Vineyard comes from a 4-acre Oakville parcel situated below the Dalla Valle vineyards in the eastern Vaca foothills. It exhibits an opaque purple color along with a gorgeous nose of loamy soil minerality interwoven with blackberry and Crème de cassis fruit. Full-bodied with terrific richness and opulence, this is a great example from the tenderloin sector of Napa Valley. It should drink well young, yet last for 20-25 years."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $450-600

4442 Alban Vineyards Syrah - Vintage 2011Patrina1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The entry level 2011 Syrah Patrina is a beautiful effort that's a great intro into the style of wines made by John. Its inky purple color is followed by almost cool climate-like aromas and flavors of black cherries, white pepper, bacon and hints of game. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless and silky Syrah that really shows the cooler nature of the vintage. It should drink nicely for at least 3-5 years, probably longer."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $300-420

The fabulous bouquet is followed by a sweet entry on the palate, wonderful opulence and richness, and a persistent finish. This stunning, flamboyant, exuberant 2004 may be the finest

4468 Martinelli Chardonnay - Vintage 2011Zio Tony Ranch1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 2011 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch exhibits exotic tropical fruit (pineapple, mango and tangerine), followed by a full-bodied, stunningly rich Chardonnay that transcends and eclipses the overall quality one generally finds in 2011. Of course, most of the Chardonnay vineyards were harvested before the damaging deluges of early to mid-October. Drink it over the next 3-5 years."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

4475 Schubert Shiraz - Vintage 2002Goose Yard Block3scl (Wines Located in New York)"Displays a surreal combination of purity, elegance, and delineation with enormous concentration and intensity. Its black/purple color is accompanied by aromas of espresso roast intermingled with blackberries, Crème de cassis, melted licorice, bacon fat, and a touch of subtle oak. This is a ripe, full-bodied effort. This is a well-endowed, super-concentrated Shiraz with more elegance and finesse than typical for these blockbusters from South Australia."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $180-240

4550 Chambertin - Vintage 2013Fourrier1x3 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"Somewhat surprisingly this appears to be even riper than the Clos de Bèze with its mocha-infused nose of plum, dark berries, earth and sauvage aromas that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is excellent detail and volume to the mineral-inflected big-bodied flavors that possess a sleek muscularity on the moderately austere and hugely long finish."(93-95pts BH)3 magnums per lot $4000-6000

4556 Latricieres Chambertin - Vintage 2012

Faiveley1x3 magnum banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"A pure and manifestly earthy and sauvage nose offers up notes of red and dark currant, humus and underbrush. There is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the beautifully delineated medium weight plus flavors that possess terrific focus and plenty of minerality on the strikingly long finish. As is usually the case this is markedly austere at present and will need plenty of cellar time before it's ready for prime time but it should be well worth the wait."(92-95pts BH)3 magnums per lot $1600-2200

4559 J. Christopher Pinot Noir - Vintage 2011Dundee Hills1x6 magnum ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The J. Christopher 2011 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills cuvée unites fruit from, most prominently, Bella Vide, Baptista Maresh, Le Pavillon, and Abby Ridge, being as such a reflection of the prime Worden Hill Road stretch. There are a thousand cases, three times what there were of the previous vintage, marking this bottling as along with the generic Willamette cuvée the core of the J. Christopher program. Almost stridently bright in its evocation of sour cherry, red currant and rhubarb, this is strongly shadowed by high-toned kirsch distillate, lemon oil and sealing wax. An undertone of dried blood and iron-rich tonic of some sort seems to mysteriously creep in here as well. And amazingly, there is a fine sense of textural richness running parallel to all of the energy and tart acidity on display, and a finish of impressive, penetrating persistence as well as sheer refreshment. "I tried out a lot of blends, and tasted the wines for hours and hours each time, trying to get this a bit more forward and approachable," says Somers. "But I kept coming back to this (blend). And for me this is what Dundee was in 2011, and the whole purpose of my A.V.A. series of wines is to capture the A.V.A. in that vintage." I suspect this will prove deliciously versatile through 2018 if not beyond."(90pts)6 magnums per lot $300-400

Nevertheless, it is a serious effort displaying a deep purple color along with aromas of chocolate, mint, blackberries, and cassis. Revealing good delineation along with plenty of power, tannin, and depth, it should drink well for 10-15 years. That's an advantage over its Shotfire Ridge, Terra Barossa, and Milton Park siblings. Readers who missed the reviews in issue #147 should realize that Thorn-Clarke produces a bevy of extraordinary bargains."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $400-600

The huge nose of black truffles, jammy black-cherries, and toasty new oak is followed by a massively-endowed, full-bodied, immensely concentrated wine that tastes almost sweet because of the exceptional ripeness and fruit density.

I see a floral character that might be attributed to the Garnacha, but whatever it is, this is a wine of marked personality, combining ripe and elegant aromas and flavors with the attractive suppleness of the blueberries, meaty tannins and delicate aromas of violets and dry roses. The palate shows very good balance and stuffing, with very fine, sophisticated tannins. A great, different Ribera. Bravo! Drink 2014-2021."(94pts)4 bottles per lot $320-450

The wine reveals outstanding depth and length in a mid-weight style, with a refined, poised finish and lovely overall balance. Another year or so in bottle should help smooth the tannins, but in this vintage the French oak (30% new) seems much better integrated than it has been in the past. This is a commendable effort from the Folonari family. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2021."(90pts)7 bottles per lot $220-300

The wine reveals the classic cassis, mineral, weedy tobacco, spicy nose of a top Pauillac. Full-bodied, concentrated, and close to full maturity, it is a flavorful, expansive, chewy wine. Although it has been distressingly inconsistent in previous tastings, I am convinced the off bottles had been cooked - undoubtedly by exposure to high temperatures. In this tasting, it was a delicious, outstanding example of the vintage that should continue to drink well for another decade."(91pts)10 bottles per lot $900-1000

The aromas and flavors are decidedly on the ripe side of the spectrum in the racy 2006, but the intensity of the fruit covers the tannins nicely, making this an attractive wine for near-term pleasure.

This is a decidedly dark, brooding red from Lamborghini. As good as it is, I can't help feeling that the wine is trapped by excessive concentration and new oak. With a lighter touch this could be a truly important, benchmark wine for Umbria. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021."(91pts)6 bottles per lot $240-350

A dark, evolved, plum/garnet color is followed by a distinctive perfume of forest floor, jammy raspberries and black currants, a full-bodied, luscious mouthfeel, and such a voluptuous, sexy style that it could be called the Pamela Anderson of Napa red wines. A fleshy, in-your-face, exceptionally well-made effort, it should drink well for 5-7 more years."(91pts)1 bottle per lot $50-70

The color is an extremely light salmon-pink, and the nose is definitely Krug! Their unmistakable symphony of full, complex aromas is backed up by a whiff of raspberry. The taste is tremendously austere and acidic, but less generous than a Grande Cuvée and definitely a wine to store."(94pts RJ)1 half-bottle per lot $200-280

9293 Solengo - Vintage 2004

Argiano2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Readers will find much to admire in these two new releases from Argiano, located in the southern part of the Montalcino zone. The 2004 Solengo presents gorgeous aromatics followed by super-ripe dark fruit, crushed flowers, herbs, spices and sweet toasted oak that flow from its opulent, full-bodied frame. Showing superb concentration, the wine is supported by an attractive note of underlying minerality that provides balance as well as a sense of proportion. It offers outstanding length, a silky-textured personality and ripe, sweet tannins on the finish in a rare display that marries power with elegance. It will be tempting to drink this early, but a few years of cellaring will give the wine an opportunity to express the fullest range of its potential. In 2004 Solengo is a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 25% Syrah that spent 17 months in new French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

The strong, pungent cherry and licorice flavors are perked up by a brisk citric edge (grapefruit?). A rather stylish wine with fruit of steel. Finishes with intense flavor and excellent grip. Needs to be served with food, like a grilled steak."(92pts VM)1 27 liter per lot $6000-9000

9347 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2004La Combe des Fous, Clos St. Jean(Wines Located in New York)"As is getting more and more common, this estate produced one of the wines of the vintage in 2004. A cooler vintage that featured higher acids and more mid-weight aromas and flavors, the 2004 Châteauneuf du Pape Combe des Fous sports rocking depth and richness to go with big black fruits, black licorice, roasted herbs and assorted meatiness. Drinking well, I'd pop bottles over the coming couple of years, yet no doubt it will have a solid evolution through 2019 or so."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $600-750

Full-bodied but wonderfully silky with age, it shows developing aromas and flavors of tree bark, cola, dried spices, red cherries

and white button mushrooms. While I wouldn't expect it to last forever, it should provide delicious drinking over the next 5 years or so. It was made from tiny yields of 16 hectoliters per hectare and reached 14.7% alcohol in what was a challenging vintage in the Southern Rhône."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $380-500

The Napa is made from a parcel owned by Aubert that David Abreu planted six years ago with a Montrachet selection. The vines are naturally quite young, but the results are already striking. With time in the glass, the 2011 opens up beautifully, finishing with gorgeous richness and pure texture. This is a dazzling wine by any measure.

Here the flavors are bright, precise and endowed with considerable energy. Cranberry, pomegranate, crushed rocks, rose petals and savory herbs are all supported by veins of underlying acidity and minerality that should allow the 2011 to develop beautifully in bottle. All of the 2011 Pinots have really blossomed over the last year, but none to the extent of the Cuvée Elizabeth, which today is stunning."(97pts VM)4 bottles per lot $480-600

The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, ripe black fruit. It is plush and heady, the acidity lower than the 2007 or 2009, so that the finish is rounded, decadent and spicy, without the tension and class of other vintages.

The palate is medium-bodied with very composed, refined tannins that belie the heat of that summer. There is wonderful focus here and fine tension, the finish offering precise notes of black cherries, mulberry, cloves and white pepper. This is one of the finest Ports of a precocious vintage.

The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, a keen line of acidity, and impressive harmony and refinement on the finish - red cherries and wild strawberry fruit.

Usseglio1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The Usseglio's consider the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée de Mon Aieul to be their greatest to date. I've done numerous tastings with the 2010 and 2007 side by side, and more times than not, I think the 2007 is the better wine. Time will tell though, and both are sensational wines that readers should have in their cellars. The inky colored 2010 is 100% Grenache fermented with 30% stems and aged in a combination of older barrels and foudre. More focused and precise than the '07 (and even darker in color), yet still with massive concentration and depth, it offers deep, rich notes of blackberries, cassis, ground herbs, pepper and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, thick and layered on the palate, it never puts a foot wrong, has fabulous purity and a blockbuster finish. It needs 3-4 years of cellaring, but will have 20-25 years of longevity."(98+pts)12 bottles per lot $800-1000

The bouquet offers Bordeaux-like aromas of creme de cassis, graphite, and new oak. In the mouth, it is elegant and medium to full-bodied, with plenty of sweetness, outstanding purity, and a layered, long finish with well-integrated wood, acidity, and tannin. I believe this impressive effort marks the debut of this new super-Tuscan. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $650-800

"I loved the 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape Réserve Sixtine, and this is probably the finest example of this cuvée since the 2003. Made from 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and the rest Mourvèdre, destemmed and aged in a mix of foudre, old barrels and small amounts of new barrels, it offers terrific purity in its black raspberry and cassis fruits, melted licorice and cured meat aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness, beautiful mid-palate density and no hard edges, it's a joy to drink today but will certainly keep for another decade or more."(95pts)12 bottles per lot $500-700

This is a decidedly smaller scaled, lithe Guidalberto that impresses for its overall balance and finesse. The structure of the 2006 and the exuberance of the 2007 are missing, but the 2008 offers superb drinkability and pleasure today and over the next few years. Dried flowers, licorice and new leather add the final nuances of complexity on the finish. The 2008 Guidalberto is Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Most of the fruit comes from vineyards that are separate from those used for Sassicaia, although Guidalberto always includes some barrels that don't make it into the top wine.

Almost velvety in texture, this nonetheless finishes with a grip that implies abundant if fine tannins. It doesn't indeed, given its vintage, almost surely couldn't approach the infectious sheer primary juiciness of the corresponding 2010; nor does it strike me for now as being any more complex than the highly impressive (and much less expensive) "classique" (i.e. Drouhin's principal bottling). But it's surely worth following for at least half a dozen years, during which time it might well reveal its superiority. "You had to be really cautious with extraction in this vintage," notes Bell of 2009, "because there was a lot of dry skin material in the cap.""(91pts)

black cherry, cola, and black raspberry. On the palate the elevated acidity of the vintage is apparent and the wine is firmly structured.

There is more than enough primary

juiciness here to banish any sense of drying that might otherwise have been induced by the wine's firm tannins. And here I feel on pretty confident footing in predicting at least the better part of a decade of interest."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500

Hints of ginger add to the sense of finishing invigoration in energetic and long-lined if relatively firm Pinot. With time this should loosen up a bit and let itself and us in on a bit more fun. I suspect it will perform admirably through at least 2022."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $550-650

The palate is medium-bodied with refined tannin, very focused and poised with an elegant, suave finish that has just the right amount of edginess.

There is admirable concentration and purity here, but in a compact form whose sense of austerity fruit pit notes only serve to accentuate. Yet, there is a sense of delicacy to the finish. This will need time (even short term) to unclench somewhat, but precisely its underlying density should then contribute to greater textural allure and help insure a 5-7 year future."(90+pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500

13189 Chablis - Vintage 2008Les Preuses, Fevre2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"Both marine and smoky, fusil, crushed chalk mineral elements confront the taster already in the nose from the Fevre 2008 Chablis Preuses, along with fresh lime, mirabelle, apricot, and cherry distillate. Adamant stoniness; iodine; apricot kernel, plum pit, and cherry stone bitterness as well as a firm texture lend the palate a certain austerity and restraint, without the meltingly savory crustacean or musky animal dimensions I usually associate with this site. But there is more than compensatory complexity of alternate sorts as well as sheer density."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $900-1100

Made from 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 5% Cinsault and 5% Mourvèdre, it spent 12 months in 80% foudre and 20% barrel.

13546 Château Lagrange - Vintage 1990St. Julien1bn, 4ts (Wines Located in New York)"This muscular, thick, unctuous, lavishly-oaked wine may cause raised eyebrows by those looking for something restrained and understated. There is no doubting the hedonistic appeal of this style of wine. The 1990 is another massive, highly-extracted, boldly-wooded, spicy, dark purple-colored wine with high tannin, low acidity, and layers of jammy fruit. The huge glycerin and massive mouthfeel in this unctuously-textured wine are difficult to ignore. I suspect this wine will become more defined after it loses its baby fat."(93pts)5 bottles per lot $500-600

The opaque purple-hued 2006 Lynsolence reveals a big, sweet kiss of kirsch liqueur, black fruits, licorice, smoke, and crushed rock-like aromas.

The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, fine backbone, a pinch of cracked black pepper on the entry with a solid, slightly austere but focused finish that is resolutely classic in style. I appreciate the "Pomerol-ness" of this Clos l'Eglise. Drink now and over the next 6-8 years. Tasted March 2017."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $260-350

The 2005 Château de Myrat needed some aeration to rid itself of SO2, but it is worth persevering, because underneath lie attractive pineapple, quince and marmalade scents, orange blossom emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with honey, quince and a touch of bitter orange. While the nose does not quite live up to the previous bottle that I tasted, the 2005 could be considered to be the first vintage to relive the glories of yesteryear, before the vineyard fell into deprivation and flirted with extinction. Drink this now and over the next decade. Tasted April 2016."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $160-220

The 2006 Lafaurie Peyraguey has a complex bouquet: honey, white chocolate, quince and dried pineapple scents that billow from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with marmalade and bitter orange on the entry, a fine line of acidity with a harmonious mandarin and grapefruit finish that carries ample botrytis with it. This appears to have improved over the last couple of years, suggesting an upward trajectory in bottle? Worth checking out. Tasted April 2016."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400

13797 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001

1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"One might call the opaque purple-colored 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate locked and loaded. Fashioned from a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc (which saw about 25% new oak), it exhibits a tremendously pure, but tightly-knit bouquet of Crème de cassis, leather, forest floor, minerals, and licorice. Dense, with layer upon layer of concentrated black fruits intermixed with spice and wood, it displays full body, great purity, low acidity, and a solid lashing of heavy duty tannin in the blockbuster finish.

A deep ruby/purple-tinged color is accompanied by a sweet perfume of salty sea breezes, seaweed, melted licorice, kirsch liqueur, creme de cassis, and iodine ... a classic Vieux-Telegraphe aromatic display. Powerful as well as firmly structured, this is a wine to lay away for 4-5 years. It should prove to be uncommonly long-lived, lasting a minimum of two decades. It gets my nod as the greatest Vieux-Telegraphe since the 1998."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $420-500

The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) with Merlot and Sangiovese and the wine delivers its aromas with lift and purpose. A pretty spot of acidity helps to define the deep concentration and sheer power of this opulent red. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $500-700

14702 Valpolicella - Vintage 2010Dal Forno1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is more precise and focused compared to the 2011 edition that I tasted at the estate at the same time. This was not an easy vintage in Valpolicella compared to other parts of Italy that enjoyed a classic growing season. Instead, this Northern corner of Italy suffered from heavy rains and some hail damage. Overall yields were lower as a result. But the wine sings in terms of its brightness and aromatic intensity today. The expressive bouquet covers all the bases from black fruit to spice to drying mineral or flint. All of these elements conspire to bring robust flavors together with smooth and seamless transitions."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $450-600

14789 Saxum Red - Vintage 2009Bone Rock(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Bone Rock is a round, enticing red laced with sweet, succulent dark cherries, plums, flowers and spices. It shows remarkable intensity and fabulous balance. Bone Rock is made from the first blocks planted in the James Berry vineyard and is predominantly Syrah, while the James Berry Vineyard (the wine) is Grenache focused. In 2009 the blend was 57% Syrah, 31% Mourvedre and 12% Grenache. The Syrah component was vinified with 100% stems and saw a maceration lasting 50 days. The wine was aged in 60% new oak. Smith bottled the 2009 in May 2011, earlier than the norm (around 30 months), as he wanted to preserve the freshness he had in the tannins.

14795 Saxum Red - Vintage 2013Heart Stone Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Checking in as a final blend of 54% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 11% Mourvedre, the 2013 Heart Stone Vineyard shows the class and purity of the vintage in its complex, floral-laced aromas of dark fruits, spice and minerality. Full-bodied, seamless and silky, with no hard edges and terrific purity, it's another 2013 from Smith that will open up with another year in bottle."(95pts)4 bottles per lot $320-420

14796 Saxum Red - Vintage 2013

Terry Hoage Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Lastly, the 2013 Terry Hoage Vineyard is a forward, exotic effort that's made from 57% Syrah, 29% Grenache and 14% Mourvedre. It is one of the more fresh and lively wines in the lineup, with notes of passion fruits, jolly rancher, plums, spice and green herbs (Justin always finds a touch of watermelon rind from this site). This beauty is full-bodied, silky and beautifully textured on the palate, with impeccable balance and a great finish. Drink this puppy anytime over the coming decade or so."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $180-240

14798 Saxum Red - Vintage 2014Broken Stones(Wines Located in New York)"Blended of 41% Syrah, 13% Mourvèdre, 19% Grenache, 16% Petite Sirah, 8% Tempranillo and 3% Roussanne, the 2014 Broken Stones has a deep garnet-purple color and exuberant black and blue fruit notes with suggestions of raspberry pie, potpourri, spice cake and fallen leaves, plus a waft of chocolate box. Full-bodied and full-on gorgeous, it fills the palate with soft, sexy fruit and plush tannins, finishing on a spicy note."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $480-650

14800 Saxum Syrah - Vintage 2011Bone Rock(Wines Located in New York)"Decidedly cool climate in character, the 2011 James Berry Vineyard Bone Rock comes from steep, terraced plots of old head trained Syrah vines that, in 2011, wasn't harvested until November. Co-fermented with a splash of Roussanne and Mourvedre, it's a spectacular effort that makes the most of the cool, long growing season. It's also the most long term prospect in the lineup. Offering up a tight, Cornas-like bouquet of black and blue fruits, white pepper, spring flowers and salty minerality, it is full-bodied, beautifully concentrated and seamless on the palate, with ultra-fine tannin and building richness that only starts to develop with a healthy decant. It's a gorgeous wine, yet needs to be forgotten for at least 4-5 years. It should drink nicely through 2031."(98+pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

14801 Saxum Syrah - Vintage 2011Broken Stones(Wines Located in New York)"The brilliant 2011 Syrah Broken Stones comes from a cooler block of the James Berry Vineyard and checks in as a blend of 78% Syrah, 18% Mourvedre and 4% Petit Sirah. Relatively forward (especially when compared to the locked up Bone Rock), with fabulous purity and freshness, it exudes notions of creme de cassis, blueberry, pepper, crushed flowers and sweet oak on the nose. Full-bodied, seamless and elegant, yet with building richness and rock star length, it's an elegant version of the cuvée to drink over the coming 15 years or more."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $500-700

What first overwhelms the taster is the spectacular spicy, cedary, toasty, black-raspberry fragrance. The wine has that exotic, kinky, irresistible grilled or smoked meat character in the nose.

Made from 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, and 10% Graciano, this rich, complex wine exhibits a Graves-like nose of minerals, caramel, vanilla, and super-rich, blackcurrant and cherry fruit. This sweet (from the high extraction of ripe fruit), full-bodied wine reveals that elusive lead pencil character found in some Bordeaux wines (especially in Pauillac), deep, chewy, concentrated flavors, a sense of elegance, a supple personality, and a long finish. Already delicious and complex, it promises to age effortlessly for at least a decade."(90pts)2 bottles per lot $130-170

15070 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2000Thorevilos(Wines Located in New York)"It is a dense, sweet, black currant-flavored effort with hints of scorched earth, cedar, and flowers in the background.

15158 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2000Reserve le Clos du Caillou, Le Clos du Caillou4lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Possibly the wine of the vintage is the 2000 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve Le Clos du Cailloux. I tasted this wine four times from bottle, and it has blown away some tough competition. A wealth of fruit, power, and balance, amazing purity, and a sumptuous, 65-second finish are the stuff of legends. As usual, it is a blend of 45% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, and the rest Syrah as well as miscellaneous varietals. The Mourvedre must be picked incredibly ripe as there is never any of that grape's astringency or toughness. However, being an anti-oxidant varietal, I am sure this is a sign of how much aging potential these wines possess. This is an enormous, well-delineated, superb wine. Anticipated maturity: now-2020+."(99pts)4 bottles per lot $600-800

15176 Jonata Red - Vintage 2005El Alma de Jonata(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 El Alma de Jonata is a blend of 95% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. One of the greatest Cabernet Francs to emerge from California, it boasts gorgeous notes of bay leaf interwoven with blueberries, black currants, licorice, flowers, and subtle smoke. A wine of exquisite precision, outstanding richness, astonishing elegance as well as finesse, this is a brilliant achievement that must be tasted to be believed. As the wine sits in the glass, a notion of lead pencil shavings (graphite) also emerges. Drink this beauty over the next decade."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

A deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by a sumptuously rich nose of strawberries, new saddle leather, licorice, roasted herbs, and spice.

The balance, length and elegance on the palate are first class from start to finish. In 2009 the blend is 48% Grenache, 35% Syrah and 17% Mourvedre, aged in 60% new French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $100-140

15233 Booker Vineyard Syrah - Vintage 2009Fracture(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Fracture (Syrah) is super-ripe and boisterous in its blackberries, blueberries, creme de cassis and sweet spices.

Dark fruit, licorice and flowers wrap around the powerful, intense finish. This should be superb once the tannins begin to melt away. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $80-110

15236 Brewer-Clifton Pinot Noir - Vintage 2009Mount Carmel(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Pinot Noir Mount Carmel impresses for its generous, radiant personality.

I especially like the way this blossoms through the mid-palate and onto the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

15237 Brewer-Clifton Pinot Noir - Vintage 2009Santa Rita Hills(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Pinot Noir is a highly expressive wine. Sweet red fruit, herbs, licorice, dried flowers and mint are some of the notes that emerge from this mid-weight Pinot. The 100% stems come through in the wine's aromatic profile and high-toned finish. This is a terrific introduction to the house style and a fabulous effort at this level.

The 2005 Château de Myrat needed some aeration to rid itself of SO2, but it is worth persevering, because underneath lie attractive pineapple, quince and marmalade scents, orange blossom emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with honey, quince and a touch of bitter orange. While the nose does not quite live up to the previous bottle that I tasted, the 2005 could be considered to be the first vintage to relive the glories of yesteryear, before the vineyard fell into deprivation and flirted with extinction. Drink this now and over the next decade. Tasted April 2016."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $160-220

Adam(Wines Located in New York)"Adam's "village-level" 2011 Dhroner Riesling like the previous year's is vinified half in cask, half in stainless steel and comes largely from old vines at high elevation. It's on the cusp of legal dryness and at 12% a tad lower in alcohol than the corresponding generic bottling. Luscious white peach and mango are garlanded in bittersweetly-perfumed iris and accented with toasted squash seeds and almonds along with wet stone on a buoyant, subtly satiny and waxy palate. Like this year's generic bottling, this surprises and delights in the finish with an influx of mouthwatering salinity and bright, juicy citricity as well as invigorating nips of black

pepper and citrus zest. This soaring, uplifting, vibrant and refined bottling is likely to perform memorably for the better part of a decade. (Going back to taste it after two BAs, not only did it taste genuinely dry a phenomenon no longer so remarkable under those circumstances! but, more importantly, it still tasted rivetingly complex and uplifting.)"(93pts)2 bottles per lot $60-80

Weak tones of chocolate, nuts, oak, and coffee are there too, of course. In the mouth one can perceive the finest marmalade and small uplifting bubbles.

Deep, smoky and complex, with a kaleidoscopic bouquet incorporating wild strawberry, peach, apricot, chestnut honey and cured meat. A firm, strikingly concentrated mid weight with powerful flavors of orange peel, raspberry, redcurrant, baking spice and smoked meat and gentle supporting acidity. Smoky, sweet and long on the back, with a slowly building impression of acidity that suggests this will be a long ager. "(95pts VM)3 bottles per lot $1200-1600

It is perhaps less rewarding on the palate today, but its class is amply evident in the purity of its fruit and silkiness of its tannins.

16212 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2014Sauternes1x6 bottle banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"The Château Yquem 2014 was picked over 9 weeks this year, with one-quarter of the grapes picked prior to 15 September. It delivers 134 grams per liter residual sugar and 7.3 grams per liter tartaric acid, with a pH 3.60. It has a captivating bouquet (I know...I know...what else were you expecting) But it entrances with its pure, wild honey notes mixed with almond and white chocolate scents, bestowed with beguiling delineation and focus. The palate is very poised with the acidity nigh on perfect. Occasionally an Yquem only reveals its components parts at this early juncture,

necessitates conjecture. However the 2014 has a sense of harmony and completeness already, as if the élevage is merely there to usher it on to its finished state. There is undeniably great depth here, perhaps less conspicuous than other vintages because of that silver thread of acidity: notes of lemon sherbet, orange zest, shaved ginger and again, a few "flakes' of white chocolate. It is extremely long with tenderness rather than power on the finish. It's not quite up there in the rarefied heights of say, the 2001 or 2009, but it is what we call in the trade, "the business.""(96-98pts)6 bottles per lot $1500-2000

scrc (Wines Located in New York)"I tasted four vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, a wine that is aged for three years in barrel before it is released.

The 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a richer, more complete wine than the 1990, with exceptional ripeness and richness of fruit, full body, and additional complexity and personality. It is a youthful, tannic, large-scaled Cabernet Sauvignon that needs another 2-3 years in the cellar. It should keep for two decades. Interestingly, there were 2000 cases produced in 1991. Tel.

17029 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2011Signature, Domaine Barroche1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Possessing a solid ruby color, the 2011 Châteauneuf du Pape Signature is a forward, supple and sweetly fruited beauty that has lots of incense, pepper, licorice and spice in a medium to full-bodied, rounded sexy style. It's another wine that won't get much better, but should actually hold nicely in the cellar given its overall balance. Still, no need to delay gratification here."(91pts)6 bottles per lot $160-200

17030 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2015cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegau1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Now that it has been in bottle a while, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée Reservee is looking even better than I projected based on last year's prebottling sample. It's all violets, cherries, subtle allspice and clove and traditional garrigue notes of lavender and thyme. Full-bodied and rich, it's crazy complex, adding hints of tar and black olives on the long, silky finish. It should evolve beautifully over the next two decades."(96pts)12 bottles per lot $650-800

17037 Valpolicella - Vintage 2010Dal Forno1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is more precise and focused compared to the 2011 edition that I tasted at the estate at the same time. This was not an easy vintage in Valpolicella compared to other parts of Italy that enjoyed a classic growing season. Instead, this Northern corner of Italy suffered from heavy rains and some hail damage. Overall yields were lower as a result. But the wine sings in terms of its brightness and aromatic intensity today. The expressive bouquet covers all the bases from black fruit to spice to drying mineral or flint. All of these elements conspire to bring robust flavors together with smooth and seamless transitions."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $480-600

17059 Beau Vigne Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2014Stag's Ridge Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"As for the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, this is another Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated wine (95% with the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot). Built along the same lines as its cellarmates, it is inky purple in color, with notes of pen ink, licorice, black truffle, forest floor, blackberry and blueberry fruit. The wine has terrific aromatics, a stunning attack and mid-palate,

Mango, apricot, pink grapefruit, and pineapple are tinged with pungent herbs, spices, and lily flower perfume, then effusively present on a palate of imposing richness yet utmost delicacy.

vanilla were clearly in evidence, and even more so on the palate, where dripping florality, vanilla cream, and nut paste add considerable allure. The finish here is formidably long and polished, with complexities of flowers, spices, and mineral already very clearly in evidence.

"The 2009 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Origines (1,500 cases produced) is a blend of 50% Grenache, a whopping 30% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah with the latter two components spending time in new oak barrels. All of the fruit comes from vines that are nearly 70 years of age. A great wine with an opaque ruby/purple color, sensational fruit intensity and notes of graphite, lavender, licorice, lead pencil shavings and subtle smoke, it is full-bodied, rich and powerful with low acidity and sweet, velvety tannins. It should drink well for 15+ years."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $350-480

It would be fascinating to put this wine in a line-up of grand cru red Burgundies given its almost Pinot Noir-like characteristics of forest floor, mushrooms, smoky, and subtle meaty barbecue notes. Blue and red fruits dominate this remarkably suave red that must be tasted to be believed.

17666 Chablis - Vintage 2007Montmains, Fevre2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Comprising fruit from Les Forets, Bouts des Butteaux, and true Montmains, the Fevre 2007 Chablis Montmains (raised in a 60:40 ratio of tank to barrel) highlights peach, orange, kelp, and oyster shell. Its oiliness of texture reinforces the impression of richness, while a prominent salinity among its diverse mineral shadings lends lip-smacking invigoration to a sustained, bright, austerely dry finish. This offers an uncanny sense of liquefied stone and shells such as one scarcely ever encounters outside of the Auxerre. As Seguier explains it, the high-elevation and clay-rich Marnes soil of Butteaux which makes up nearly half of this cuvée promotes pronounced acidity, extract, and above all overt mineral characteristics. But these soils, especially at this altitude, are much slower to warm, so control of yields and later harvest are critical. This beauty should merit at least 6-8 years of attention. A non-estate Montmains, not sold in the U.S., shared some of this wine's mineral character but was broader and far less concentrated or focused."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500

There is admirable concentration and purity here, but in a compact form whose sense of austerity fruit pit notes only serve to accentuate. Yet, there is a sense of delicacy to the finish. This will need time (even short term) to unclench somewhat, but precisely its underlying density should then contribute to greater textural allure and help insure a 5-7 year future."(90+pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500

Creamy and buoyant on the palate, it caresses and seduces with suggestions of lemon chiffon and vanilla flan, but then leaves a surprisingly adamant, stony, subtly zesty finish as if to put the taster on notice that there is a lot more here than meets the palate at such a youthful juncture."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400

Whereas the latter for all of its delicacy is energetic, bright, and invigorating, this Zeltinger is a soothing, creamy essence of liquid flowers, accompanied by orchard fruit essences, vanilla, malt, and nut oils.

17726 Aubert Vineyards Chardonnay - Vintage 2011Lauren Vineyardsdc (Wines Located in New York)"Aubert's 2011 Chardonnay Lauren Vineyard flows across the palate with hints of butter, marzipan, spices, nectarines and dried apricots. Rich, voluptuous and creamy, the 2011 is another of the more overt wines in this range. Still, there is more than enough underlying minerality to balance the fruit. The old Wente and Montrachet clones work well here, but the vines are only 12 years old, which suggests the best is still very much in the future. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2019."(95pts)

Conspicuously deep in color, both the aromatics and palate replicate the strong performance from earlier this year. The bouquet offers very fine intensity with blackberry and cedar, here a tinge of cassis that becomes accentuated with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly grainy tannin. It is very well balanced and almost Saint Julien in style. It is clearly very focused with a sustained, mineral-rich finish that (as I said before) contains real energy. This is an excellent Giscours that will age nicely over the next 20-25 years. Tasted June 2015."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

Instead, this Northern corner of Italy suffered from heavy rains and some hail damage. Overall yields were lower as a result. But the wine sings in terms of its brightness and aromatic intensity today. The expressive bouquet covers all the bases from black fruit to spice to drying mineral or flint. All of these elements conspire to bring robust flavors together with smooth and seamless transitions."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $500-700

18438 Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1987

1ts, 2sdc, 2lscl (Wines Located in New York)"This extraordinary wine is backward and unevolved, but even neophytes will recognize its potential greatness. The opaque, saturated, dark purple color reveals no sign of age. The huge, smoky, oaky, blackcurrant, herb, and vanillin-scented nose only hints at what will be achieved with further evolution. Sweet, decadently rich, dense, highly extracted flavors are wrapped around a full-bodied, chewy, super-concentrated, moderately tannic wine that, ideally, needs 7-8 more years of cellaring."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

The color is black/purple, and the nose offers up sweet aromas of licorice, minerals, and super-ripe black fruits intertwined with the smell of toasty vanillin new oak.

18904 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2006Lavaux St. Jacques, C. Dugatbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Dark cherry and tart rhubarb ally themselves with smoky, saline, resinous, sap-like intensity of herbal, mineral, and animal matter in Dugat's 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.-Jacques. While formidably tannic, it displays a fineness of grain fitted to underlying density that gives one confidence of the wine's aging potential. And the finish here while not yet terribly complex is energetic, focused, and almost stunningly persistent. Interestingly, the alcohol is lower than in his other 2006s, explains Dugat, because the site is so drought-prone and the vines were therefore subjected to repeated metabolic shutdown during the hot July. More importantly, though, there seems to be no question that this fruit achieved full phenolic maturity, and there is of course no danger of berry dehydration so early in the ripening season."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

expanding in the glass. Almost painfully concentrated, offering a surreal parade of orchard and pit fruits, smoked meat, toasted brioche and marrow braced by intensely salty, stunningly incisive minerality. Imagine a Frankenstein's monster of Chablis Le Clos and Clos Ste. Hune-but one with perfect balance, of course-and you get an idea of what I found in my bottle. The energetic, stony character builds exponentially on the finish, which didn't seem to, well, finish. The best analogy I can come up with for the intensity, focus and clarity of this Champagne is liquefied barbed wire. Utterly hallucinatory and one of the most amazing wines I've ever been fortunate enough to drink."(99+pts IWC)2 bottles per lot $750-900

On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and seamless, with the inherent power of the 2002 vintage very much in evidence in its bottomless core, but with the overall profile of the wine one of unrepentant refinement. As stunningly beautiful as the fruit component is here, the wine is more defined by its brilliant mineral drive on the palate, with its elegant mousse, perfect balance and very, very long, nascently complex and laser-like finish the stuff of legends. The wine seems to attain its lift and backend energy from its limestone mineral drive, rather than the bright, zesty acidity and the overall impression is of almost otherworldly perfection."(100pts JG)1 bottle per lot $1000-1400

This wine, which shows notes of new saddle leather, Christmas fruitcake and spice, is broad and savory, with a classic full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning purity and sensational flavors of wild forest mixed with blackberry and cassis fruit.

No other wine I tasted among the new releases in Montalcino achieves this unique level of aromatic finesse and distinction. The bouquet is almost purely floral in character with a strong emphasis on pressed rose petal, dried violets and potpourri. The fruit tones are less emphatic and include bright cherry and red currant. In the mouth, the wine's compressed texture is accented by fennel seed and licorice. the 2009 vintage had more power and heat, but this version shows elegant restraint."(93+pts)12 bottles per lot $500-700

Opaque purple-colored, it displays a fabulously sweet nose of creme de cassis, new saddle leather, toasty new oak, licorice, and flowers. This wine boasts amazing richness, a huge, full-bodied impact on the palate (yet no sense of heaviness), low acidity, gorgeous ripeness, and a finish that lasts for 35+ seconds. I predict a brilliant future for this compelling proprietary red wine."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $600-800

The wine has smoky, earthy notes intermixed with graphite, camphor, damp earth, jammy cassis, cedar, and a hint of mushroom. Enormous, even monstrous in the mouth, with tremendous extraction, broodingly backward, dense flavors, and copious tannins, this should prove to be one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage and one of the most compelling Leoville Bartons ever made."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $700-900

It needs to fill out a bit in the middle, but wow, what a muscular, macho, structured Cabernet Sauvignon this wine should turn out to be.

A blockbuster, powerful, concentrated Monte Bello, it possesses an opaque purple color, plenty of spicy oak in the nose (100% American oak has always been used for aging Monte Bello), and a deep, layered, concentrated style. There is plenty of tannin, but it is sweeter than that found in the 1997, and the wine is more concentrated and extracted. There is a touch of oak in the flavors, which are otherwise dominated by minerals and jammy black fruits."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

19393 Hermitage - Vintage 2009Domaine des Tourette, Delas Freres(Wines Located in New York)"A wine that flirts with perfection is the inky and opaque 2009 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes. Coming from L'Ermite, le Sabot, and Les Bessards, and aged in a combination of new and used French oak barrels, it gives up a heavenly bouquet of crushed rocks, blackberries, leather, wild herbs and earth. Massively concentrated on the palate, with another level of fruit and texture over the 2010, it has brilliant purity, building tannin and a blockbuster finish. There's enough tannin here to warrant hiding in the cellar for 4-5 years, but it should last for 3-4 decades."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $220-300

19401 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2004cuvée de la Reine de Bois, Domaine de la Mordoree(Wines Located in New York)"...full-bodied, not as tannic as most young vintages of this cuvée tend to be, with an inky ruby/purple color and a beautiful sweet nose of smoked meats, creme de cassis, raspberries, licorice, graphite, and camphor. Full-bodied, ripe, with moderately sweet tannin, this is a wine that uncharacteristically can be drunk at a relatively early age for Mordoree but should last for 10-15 years."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $110-150

19402 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2005cuvée de la Reine de Bois, Domaine de la Mordoree(Wines Located in New York)A big, full-bodied, structured effort, its inky purple color is followed by a terrific bouquet of ripe black fruits, toasted spice, graphite, chocolate and garrigue.(97pts)2 bottles per lot $130-170

Loaded with classic Pegau spice, tobacco leaf, saddle leather, cured meats and lavender aromas and flavors, this beauty has no hard edges, full-bodied richness and weight, and a seamless finish that keeps you coming back to the glass.

19686 Saxum Red - Vintage 2009Broken Stones(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Broken Stones is sourced from all of the estate's vineyards, which in this vintage includes Padereweski fruit for the first time, although most of the fruit was sourced from James Berry. Today it comes across as rather tightly wound and implosive, although with air the wine's potential becomes more evident. Dark cherries, licorice and smoke wrap around the intense finish. Floral notes add the final layers of complexity and nuance. This is another fabulous effort. In 2009 the blend is 60% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre, 12% Petite Sirah and 8% Grenache. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021."(96pts)3 bottles per lot $260-350

19687 Saxum Red - Vintage 2010Broken Stones(Wines Located in New York)"...a gorgeously pure array of black raspberry, charcoal, licorice, lavender, and assorted floral qualities on the nose.

19692 Saxum Red - Vintage 2011James Berry Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Reminding me of a top 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape (the 2010 Raymond Usseglio cuvée Imperiale to be exact), the 2011 James Berry Vineyard is a blend of 69% Grenache, 13% Mourvedre, 13% Syrah, 2% Counoise, and a splash of Roussanne, that was aged in a combination of concrete (Grenache) and larger oak puncheons. A fresh, detailed and more elegant example

of the cuvée, it offers gorgeous notes of ripe berry fruit, loads of exotic spice, violets, pepper and lavender to go with a full-bodied, beautifully pure and layered profile on the palate. It's no blockbuster, but has loads of energy and tension, as well as class and refinement.

19693 Saxum Red - Vintage 2013James Berry Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)" It offers up gorgeous notes of black raspberries, cherries, cassis, ground herbs and flowers.

19697 Saxum Syrah - Vintage 2012Bone Rock(Wines Located in New York)"The 2012 Syrah James Berry Vineyard Bone Rock is the star of the show in 2012. Borderline perfection, it has straight up awesome notes of black and blue fruits, pepper, crushed violets and searing chalky minerality that shows on both the nose and palate. Full-bodied, seamless and elegant, it's a stacked, concentrated, layered Syrah that never puts a foot wrong. Give it 2-4 years and enjoy bottles through 2032."(99pts)3 bottles per lot $380-500

19698 Saxum Syrah - Vintage 2011Bone Rock, James Berry Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Decidedly cool climate in character, the 2011 James Berry Vineyard Bone Rock comes from steep, terraced plots of old head trained Syrah vines that, in 2011, wasn't harvested until November. Co-fermented with a splash of Roussanne and Mourvedre, it's a spectacular effort that makes the most of the cool, long growing season. It's also the most long term prospect in the lineup. Offering up a tight, Cornas-like bouquet of black and blue fruits, white pepper, spring flowers and salty minerality, it is full-bodied, beautifully concentrated and seamless on the palate, with ultra-fine tannin and building richness that only starts to develop with a healthy decant. It's a gorgeous wine, yet needs to be forgotten for at least 4-5 years. It should drink nicely through 2031."(98+pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

Seamless and silky, yet with a great mid-palate and notable tannin, it needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will have 15 years or more of overall longevity."(97pts)4 bottles per lot $320-450

The wine was round and tasty with nice stones, herbs and purple kink. It, too, was on the border of outstanding, but it just made it across.

19808 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 1982St. Julien1hs, 1sdc, 1sos (Wines Located in New York)"There is no question that Leoville Poyferre was not making wines at the level of quality they have since 1990. That said, the 1982 is a great wine, no doubt because of the vintage rather than the winemaking at that time. A brilliant effort, it boasts a dense purple color as well as a sweet, flowery bouquet revealing plenty of creme de cassis, plum, and cherry notes, stunning concentration, a boatload of power, sweet tannins (the sweetest and easiest to taste among the St.-Juliens), and a long finish. Although close to full maturity, it has at least 20-25 years of life remaining. Release price: ($130.00/case)"(95pts)2 bottles per lot $480-600

19813 Château Troplong Mondot - Vintage 2000St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"Extremely young with an unbelievable deep purple color, the 2000 Troplong Mondot has hardly budged since I tasted it in 2003. Two recent tastings confirmed that this is the greatest Troplong Mondot between their profound 1990 and more recent vintages such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Copious chocolate, graphite, blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and ink characteristics

are present in this full-bodied, powerful, massive St.-Emilion. While the tannins are noticeable, they are better integrated than they were seven years ago, and the fruit, extract, and richness clearly outweigh the wine's structure. This 2000 will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring (longer than I originally predicted), and has at least two decades of drinkability ahead of it."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $700-900

20421 Barolo - Vintage 1989L. Einaudi2vlscl, 2spc (Wines Located in New York)"This blockbuster, old style, opaque purple-colored Barolo has undoubtedly seen little fining or filtering! Extraordinarily extracted, with a huge nose of melted road tar, plums, cherries, Asian spices, and roses, this mammothly constructed, super-rich, superb wine is a heavyweight Barolo, with gobs of glycerin, extract, tannin, and alcohol. It should be civilized with another 5-6 years of cellaring and last for 25 or more years. Enough of this nonsense that traditionally-styled Barolo can't be great!"(95pts)2 bottles per lot $180-240

20450 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1998Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"...spectacular since birth, putting on more weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored close to perfection. The spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky, mineral, and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass. The wine is elegant yet profoundly rich tannin is sweet, and the wine is spectacularly layered yet never heavy. The finish is sweet, super-rich, yet impeccably balanced and long (50+ seconds)."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $650-900

20451 La Romanée - Vintage 2005Bouchard, Pere et Filslscl (Wines Located in New York)"A positively kaleidoscopic and utterly knockout nose featuring exuberant Vosne-style spicy black fruit and apanoply of underlying nuances including anise, clove, minerals, underbrush, warm earth and smoke plus a hint of menthol introduce reserved, even cool medium full flavors that are like silk on the palate though the hugely long finish tightens up in a real rush. This is really quite fine and less youthfully austere than it usually is. A stunner with that wonderful character of inner mouth perfume that the great wines always have and built for the long haul."(95-98pts BH)1 magnum per lot $3000-4000

20452 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2006Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in New York)"This too is quite restrained with almost exclusively red berry fruit and intense floral aromas that are high-toned and pure while complementing the supple, textured, dusty and extremely precise flavors that exude a quiet power on the brooding and linear finish that delivers outstanding length. This will require every bit of a decade to resolve the very firm structure. This is less elegant than the 1er but more powerful and the distinguishing character of the '06 Bonnes Mares is the serenity that it projects. I thought that it would be good but this knocks on the door of being genuinely great."(94pts BH)2 magnums per lot $1200-1600

lavender scents adding elegance to the mostly dark pinot and earth aromas that are also trimmed in a bit of wood but in this case it is even more subtle. As is virtually always the case this is bigger, richer, more powerful and more muscular with excellent volume to the rich and mouth coating flavors that deliver superb length on the chiseled, robust and hugely long finale."(95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $1400-1800

20456 La Tâche - Vintage 2012Domaine de la Romanée Conti(Wines Located in New York)"Though this is by no means exuberant, it's clear that there is good ripeness to the spiced green tea, hoisin, soy, anise, sandalwood and rose petal aromas. The cool, pure and seductively textured medium weight plus flavors brim with both minerality and plenty of dry extract that buffers the extremely firm but not hard shaping tannins on the overtly austere if seriously persistent finish."(97pts BH)1 bottle per lot $3000-4000

20457 Corton - Vintage 1990Renardes, Domaine Leroyspc, ssos (Wines Located in New York)"An explosive and strikingly complex nose of intensely spicy and fully mature yet fresh dark cherry aromas, game, smoke and earth are followed by concentrated, powerful and broad-scaled flavors that are still quite vibrant before culminating in a mouth coating finish that delivers simply huge length. This is one seriously complex wine which has finally come into its own after years of being a brooding beast."(95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $1200-1600

20458 Musigny - Vintage 1999J.F. Mugnier(Wines Located in New York)"Mugnier's 1999 Musigny Grand Cru is still a very youthful wine, but a few hours' decant gives a more than adequate sense of its immense quality. A beautiful bouquet of raspberries, black cherry, cocoa powder, violets, peony and incipient notes of rich soil and cedar introduce a pure, full-bodied wine with pitch-perfect balance and a deep, spherical core of ripe tannin, juicy acidity and reserved concentration. This is not an especially flamboyant wine, but it's incredibly authoritative and sophisticated; and in another decade, it will be just irresistible."(96+pts)1 bottle per lot $1800-2400

20459 Grands Échézeaux - Vintage 1964Maison Leroy1x4cm, nl (Wines Located in New York)"The best bottles are wonderfully spicy, sweet and rich with still vibrant and punchy robust and powerful full-bodied flavors that offer both excellent complexity and a velvety finish that goes on and on."(91pts BH)1 bottle per lot $1200-1600

20461 Montrachet - Vintage 1990Marquis de Laguiche, J. Drouhinbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Classy, pure and altogether lovely with obvious minerality to the still youthful if no longer young nose followed by deep, rich, beautifully defined flavors of considerable size, volume, power and depth plus superb finishing length and complexity. The intensity is nothing short of phenomenal, even for a grand cru at this age and the overall impression is one of grace and power. A great effort that is drinking perfectly now and will for some years to come."(94pts BH)1 bottle per lot $700-900

20462 Batard Montrachet - Vintage 1985M. Niellonbsl, wasl (Wines Located in New York)"Niellon's 1985 Batard-Montrachet reveals less of the tropical fruit, exotic character of the 1986, and is built along a more classical, buttery, mineral-scented line. Nevertheless, it is as powerful and as rich as the 1986, with higher acidity and even more stunning length."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $800-1100

20463 Chablis - Vintage 2007Les Clos, Raveneau(Wines Located in New York)"...is less severe, intractably dense, or obdurately stony than most of the vintage's representations of this great site, being at once electrically energized and practically ethereal in its high-toned expressions of bitter-sweet floral and pit fruit distillates, citrus zest, white truffle, quarry dust, and ocean breezes. Luscious grapefruit and white peach seem to be mingled with a sea water reduction on the palate, leading to a finish that tugs relentlessly at the salivary glands and practically seems to suck blood from your gums, all the while displaying buoyancy that defies gravity."(97-98pts)1 bottle per lot $750-1000

20464 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2010Reserve des Celestins, H. Bonneau(Wines Located in New York)"Schedule to be bottled next week (I suspect it will be in bottle by the time you read this), the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve des Celestins is a sensational effort. Deeper, richer and more concentrated than the Marie Beurrier, it reveals an unusually inky ruby/purple color to go with overflowing notes of kirsch liqueur, roasted meats, crushed flowers, garrigue and just about every other Provençal spice you could name. Full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, layered and a blockbuster-styled effort, it should surpass the 2007 and possibly rival the 1990. This is a tour de force in Châteauneuf du Pape!"(97-99pts)2 bottles per lot $700-800

20467 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1982OenothequeDisgorged in 2006, Commande spéciale, 1x1 bottle ogb (Wines Located in New York)"...is positively addicting. An exotic mélange of honey, apricot, wild flowers, mint, spices, dried pears and graphite captivates all the senses in an utterly vivid, translucent Champagne endowed with stunning class and pure energy. Layers of fruit continue to blossom in the glass as this ample, textured Champagne shows off its utterly captivating personality."(97pts VM)1 bottle per lot $800-1100

20468 Taittinger Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1990Comtes de Champagne(Wines Located in New York)"This outstanding wine is made in a delicate yet frothy 100% Chardonnay style.

20472 Barolo - Vintage 1986Falletto di Serralunga, Riserva, B. Giacosa(Wines Located in New York)"...is also one of my all-time favorites from this producer. It is a stunning Barolo, displaying a classic, deep nose of roses, tar, and smoke followed by massive amounts of dark, sweet fruit wrapped around a tight core of iron-like minerality, with tremendous structure, length, and freshness on the finish."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $700-900

20473 Barolo - Vintage 1990Falletto di Serralunga, Riserva, B. Giacosa(Wines Located in New York)"I remember paying what at the time seemed like a small fortune for bottles of Giacosa's 1990 Barolo Riserva Falletto at Peck's Enoteca in Milan. What I would give today to be able to buy more at the same tariff! The 1990 Barolo Riserva Falletto is one of Bruno Giacosa's most towering wines. Period. Rich, layered and opulent, this mineral-driven, powerful Barolo covers every inch of the palate with masses of dark fruit, smoke, soy, plums, menthol, dried roses, pine and a host of other balsamic overtones. This vivid, kaleidoscopic Barolo is a reference-point wine readers won't want to miss. As always, the Riserva Falletto is virile and authoritative in tone. Simply put, it its profound. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $1100-1400

20474 Barolo - Vintage 1996Falletto di Serralunga, Riserva, B. Giacosa(Wines Located in New York)"The 1996 Barolo Falletto de Serralunga (Red Label Riserva) possesses extraordinary presence and stature. Dark garnet/ruby-colored, it offers a tight but promising nose of road tar, scorched earth, truffles, blackberries, cherries, and espresso. This muscular, massive wine gave me chills. It is an exquisite, virtually perfect Barolo that requires a decade of cellaring, and should last for 30-40 years. I remember wishing I were twenty years younger when I tasted it prior to bottling ... I still feel the same way. Awesome! Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040."(98pts)1 magnum per lot $1200-1600

20478 Barolo - Vintage 1990Cascina Francia, G. Conterno2wasl, 2tvl, 2tl, 2ll (Wines Located in New York)"With the vineyard designation "Cascina Francia Serralunga d'Alba" clearly on the label, the 1990 Barolo Cascina Francia is a true specimen of Nebbiolo excellence. Giovanni Conterno purchased the celebrated vineyard in 1974 and the first vintage released was 1978 (although the vineyard name was only identified starting with the 1980 release). Current proprietor Robert Conterno would start working by his father's side in 1988, so this bottle bears the personal touches of both generations. The wine is amazingly impactful and elegant with a profound sense of varietal pureness. The bouquet opens to licorice, cola, dried cherries, prune, truffle, menthol after-tones and hickory smoke. The lingering effects are buoyant and bright. Silky tannins wrap gently on the finish and the wine feels polished and smooth with superb textural finesse. There's a profound life force within that will pay it forward for another decade of cellar aging, or more. Make time to decant 12 to 18 hours before drinking this wine. Drink: 2014-2030."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $1200-1600

20479 Barolo - Vintage 1998Monfortino Riserva, G. Conterno(Wines Located in New York)"The 1998 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is a monumental effort. A deep dark red, it opens with a huge nose of licorice, roses and cocoa, then flows onto the palate with masses of sweet, concentrated dark fruit that go on forever. Notes of mineral and leather gradually develop in the glass, adding further complexity as this great wine begins to reveal its expansive and profound personality."(97pts)1 magnum per lot $1200-1600

20480 Barolo - Vintage 2000Monfortino Riserva, G. Conterno(Wines Located in New York)"...explodes from the glass with a luxurious, expansive personality that leaves me speechless. Endowed with generous ripe fruit, it is a seamless, seductive Monfortino that possesses incredible length as well as purity in a style that perfectly encapsulates the qualities of the vintage. With air, suggestions of roses, cocoa, tar and anise emerge to complete this magnificent expression of Barolo from Serralunga. Despite its seemingly approachable personality this wine has plenty of underlying structure..."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $800-1100

20481 Barolo - Vintage 2006Ca d'Morissio Riserva, G. Mascarello(Wines Located in New York)"Full-blown aromas of cooked strawberry, mocha, menthol, brown spices and prune, with mineral and marzipan notes emerging with air. Then almost shockingly penetrating and delineated on the palate, conveying an impression of thrust without weight. Strawberry and raspberry flavors are complicated by a hint of exotic fruits."(94+pts VM)1 bottle per lot $350-500

20482 Barolo - Vintage 2007Monprivato, G. Mascarello(Wines Located in New York)"...is stunningly beautiful. Monprivato is seldom this rich when it is young. It is most often intensely aromatic, mid-weight and frequently out of balance, especially right after bottling. The 2007 is none of those things. It is a rich, dramatic wine endowed with tons of fruit and a sweeping, enveloping personality."(97pts)1 magnum per lot $260-350

20483 Barbaresco - Vintage 2007Sori San Lorenzo, Gaja1x1 double magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2007 Langhe Sori San Lorenzo is perhaps the most massive, virile wine in this lineup, and accordingly it will require the most time. Tannic and austere at the outset, the wine gradually opens to reveal staggering richness and depth in its dark fruit. The wine turns more elegant in the glass, revealing a myriad of black fruit, tar, licorice, spices and scorched earth in a dazzling display of class and elegance. This is one for the ages."(98pts)1 double magnum per lot $1200-1600

20484 Barolo - Vintage 1990Sperss, Gajanl (Wines Located in New York)"Gaja's 1990 Barolo Sperss is even richer, fuller, and deeper than the spectacular 1989 and outstanding 1988. The 1990 exhibits Gaja's signature in its extraordinary purity of flavor and layered richness, full body, and moderately tannic finish. It offers a huge, classic Barolo nose of roses, black fruits, smoke, and a whiff of tar"(95pts)1 magnum per lot $600-800

20490 Masseto - Vintage 2006Tenuta dell' Ornellaia(Wines Located in New York)"The wine that most delighted me at this historic tasting of Tuscany's most iconic wines was the 2006 Masseto. This is a wine of sheer power, bliss, opulence, infinity and sublime seduction. This Merlot-based masterpiece hits all your senses with the grace of a ballerina and the power of a heavyweight. It is steady on its proverbial feet, but it also glides over the palate with a profound sense of elegance, harmony and rhythm. Among the prized vintages of Masseto, including 2001, 2004 and 2007, this edition is my favorite. The wine delivers an extra sense of tightness or firmness at the back that serves to stitch together its fleshy richness and general sumptuousness. The personality is sunny, expansive,

articulate and sophisticated. You'll remember that the 2006 vintage is celebrated for the elegance of its wines. In the coastal Bolgheri appellation, it is also remembered for the power of its wines. You get the best of both worlds with this stunning creation: elegance and power. These traits are particularly well suited to the versatile grape variety at the heart of this Tuscan all-rounder. This is a true Renaissance wine."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $1600-2200

20491 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2006Madonna del Piano, Riserva, Valdicava(Wines Located in New York)"...is a huge, towering wine. Waves of vibrant, intensely perfumed fruit hit the palate, backed up by the firm, broad tannins of the vintage. Violets, spices, new leather and licorice develop in the glass, yet the 2006 remains painfully young and stubborn. Clean mineral notes frame a blast of dark cherries, plums and camphor on the palate-staining finish."(96pts)3 bottles per lot $500-700

20492 Vega Sicilia Unico - Vintage 19702lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"For many years, the 1970 Unico was the greatest Spanish wine that I had ever tasted, and although this was not the same caliber as the previous perfect example, it remains a fabulous wine. It is a blend of 70% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot and Malbec and aged for ten years in barriques. It has a thrilling Bordeaux-like personality on the nose that is more aloof than other vintages. The Cabernet component in the blend is pronounced, forming the backbone and austerity of this wine. However, you cannot deny its power and its breeding, or indeed its obdurate, masculine finish that demands respect. This is a Unico you have to look up to, perhaps the sister of Château Latour in this same year. 94,500 bottles produced. Drink now-2030+."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $1400-1800

20495 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007(Wines Located in New York)"Potentially a candidate for perfection, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is the finest Bryant Family wine since the aforementioned 1997. Striking aromas and flavors of blackberries, blueberries, flowers, smoke, truffles, and sweet berries lead to a wine with profound concentration, a silky, layered mouthfeel, perfect integration of tannin and wood, and remarkable depth, intensity, and balance.

20496 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2001On Your Toesnl, wxc (Wines Located in New York)"It boasts a gorgeous blue/purple color to the rim as well as exceptional aromas of pure Crème de cassis and blackberries intertwined with acacia flowers, licorice, and delicate, subtle toast notes. In the mouth, it is pure silk. An opulent, voluptuously-textured offering that cascades over the palate with no hard edges and nothing out of place, it is a brilliant tour de force in winemaking that can be drunk now or cellared for more than a decade."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $1000-1400

20497 Château Pétrus - Vintage 1961Pomerolhs, lscl, spc, cuc, excellent color (Wines Located in New York)"As they say, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it! Just to make you even more envious of my good fortune, let me tell you that over the last year I had the 1961 Pétrus out of regular format, twice from a magnum, and twice from a double magnum. Regardless of the size of the bottle, it is a perfect wine. Fully mature, and more evolved than several of its neighbors (i.e., 1961 Latour a Pomerol and 1961 Lafleur), it offers a huge, sweet nose of ginger, mint, exotic spices, and gobs of jammy black fruits. Its extraordinary viscosity, sweetness of fruit, and heady alcohol level, as well as its remarkable extract, make for one of the most sumptuous, hedonistic bottles of wine anybody could ever consume."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $7500-10000

20501 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2005Sauternes(Wines Located in New York)"Lucid in colour, the bouquet is detailed with very pure honey, vanilla and almond scents, still a little new oak to be fully assimilated but demonstrating superb focus. The palate is virtually identical to last year's bottle: exquisite balance and perfectly judged acidity, but perhaps just gaining a little richness and viscosity over the last 12 months."(97pts)6 bottles per lot $1200-1600

20502 Château Haut Brion Blanc - Vintage 1985Graves2lbsl, 2lfl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1985 Château Haut Brion Blanc is candidate for the best dry white Bordeaux produced that decade - period. Having tasted this nectar two or three times in recent months, I can vouch for its extraordinary intensity on the nose: candied orange peel, citrus lemon, cold wet limestone and honeysuckle notes that shimmer in the glass. It almost has a Chablis-like penetration imagine if Raveneau made white Bordeaux. The palate is perfectly balanced and after 30 years, it as fresh as a daisy, citrus fresh, with a killer line of mineralité, squeezed lime and an almost slate-like note (try licking some to see what I mean no one will look). The tension, the depth and length of this Haut Brion Blanc are as good as you will find...if you can find it nowadays. Simply breathtaking, anyone with bottles in their cellar will be handsomely rewarded for their patience. Tasted August 2015."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $2200-3000

20504 Chambolle Musigny - Vintage 2009Les Amoureuses, Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is totally rich and seductive from the very first taste. Layers of fruit emerge effortlessly from this gracious, supple Amoureuses. The finest, silkiest of tannins frame a gorgeous finish. The 2009 shuts down quickly in the glass, which is not so good for now, but does bode very well for the future. The wine's vibrancy and sheer energy both suggest a long life ahead.

20506 Batard Montrachet - Vintage 1992Ramonet(Wines Located in New York)"Only the slightest of honeysuckle notes and virtually no botrytis mark the nose of this wonderfully fresh and complex wine, followed by rich, elegant, pure and deep flavors that display excellent power and no heaviness on the very long and intense finish. There is both style and grace present, which is doubly unusual for both the appellation and the vintage and this far surpasses the average '92 today."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $1400-1800

20507 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1985La Landonne, E. Guigal3hbsl, 3wasl, 2tl, 1lvl, 1novl (Wines Located in New York)"Once again the darkest, thickest, most powerful, and formidably concentrated of Guigal's single-vineyard Côte Rôties, the 1985 La Landonne is also the least flattering and most intimidating. Like its two siblings, it is throwing a hefty sediment, with the inside of the bottle resembling that of a 15-year-old vintage port. The color is still a murky, inky purple. The nose offers up aromas of beef blood, vitamins (iron?), minerals, smoke, and truffles. Extremely thick, full-bodied, and massive, with noticeable tannin, this monster wine reveals no hard edges, but it does possess teeth-staining extract and power. It is a remarkable effort!..."(100pts)3 bottles per lot $4000-5500

20508 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1985La Turque, E. Guigal2bsl (Wines Located in New York)"This wine, Giugal s first effort from this vineyard, has already received deity status in western European wine circles. Only three hundred and thirty-three cases were produced, and if one were to kill for a wine, this might be the one to do it for. It meets, then exceeds, all parameters for judging wine calling it great seems somehow woefully inadequate. It has the power and enormous concentration of La Landonne, as well as the sheer, decadent, self-indulgent pleasures of the voluptuous La Mouline. It is the quintessential Côte Rôtie."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $2600-3200

20509 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1991La Turque, E. Guigal2bsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1991 La Turque behaves as if it wants to be the northern Rhône's answer to Richebourg and Musigny. However, with the exception of Domaine Leroy, you cannot find a Richebourg or Musigny with the richness and complexity possessed by this awesome wine. The saturated dark purple color is followed by a wine that is surprisingly lighter in the mouth than its great flavor

intensity and rich extraction would suggest. It is a winemaking tour de force in that Guigal has been able to cram phenomenal levels of fruit, complexity, and richness into this velvety-textured wine without causing it to taste heavy."(99pts)2 bottles per lot $1400-1800

20510 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1999La Turque, E. Guigal(Wines Located in New York)"This wine is perfect. It is undoubtedly the greatest vintage for Guigal since 1978. Take all the characteristics I described for the wines in 1998 and 1997, then add an ethereal lightness of character, surreal aromatics, and a seamlessness that is uncanny given the massive richness and layers of flavors this wine possesses. The explosive aromatics tend to be more exaggerated in 1999. The wine is more evolved and seductive than the 1998s, but its aging potential should not be underestimated. It has at least two decades of life. In short, Guigal has performed a classic hat trick in 1999 with his La La's."(100pts)3 bottles per lot $1700-2200

20511 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 2009La Turque, E. Guigal1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Very ripe and voluptuous, with incredible aromas and flavors of black currants, coffee bean, roasted meats, licorice and raw steak, this full-bodied, muscular and powerful effort has a stacked mid-palate, ultra-fine, yet building tannin and a finish that just won't quit."(100pts)6 bottles per lot $2400-3200

20512 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1990Roselbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Superbly euphoric nose, as languorous and silky as a guitar solo by Carlos Santana. As usual, Richard Geoffroy like his predecessor has succeeded in creating a wine that has seductive suppleness, complexity, and concentration in one and the same wine."(96pts RJ)1 magnum per lot $1300-1700

20513 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1996Rose(Wines Located in New York)"Bright, amber-tinged pink with pinpoint bubbles. Deep, smoky and complex, with a kaleidoscopic bouquet incorporating wild strawberry, peach, apricot, chestnut honey and cured meat. A firm, strikingly concentrated mid weight with powerful flavors of orange peel, raspberry, redcurrant, baking spice and smoked meat and gentle supporting acidity. Smoky, sweet and long on the back, with a slowly building impression of acidity that suggests this will be a long ager. "(95pts VM)6 bottles per lot $2200-3000

Krug. As usual, the 1985 Krug delivered an outstanding experience. Full-bodied, tasty and with great balance to its brawn, the Krug had a sturdy finish and the right delicacy to match. It will be a Champagne to enjoy for many years to come and is arguably the Champagne of the vintage."(96pts JK)3 bottles per lot $1500-2000

20518 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2001Greppo, Riserva, Biondi Santi(Wines Located in New York)"A dark, translucent red, it reveals superb freshness in its aromatics, with notes of small red fruits, spices, flowers, mint and anise that you could get lost in. It is perhaps less rewarding on the palate today, but its class is amply evident in the purity of its fruit and silkiness of its tannins. This is a wine built for tertiary development that will occur over the following years and decades."(94pts VM)3 bottles per lot $900-1200

20519 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2004Casanova di Neri(Wines Located in New York)"...is a big, fruit-driven wine. Made in a concentrated, opulent style, this Brunello offers tons of fruit and a round, soft personality. There isn't too much nuance in the wine today, but that should develop in bottle. The long, polished finish invites a second taste. For now, this remains one of the more overtly fruit-forward wines of the vintage."(91pts)12 bottles per lot $700-950

Deceptively medium in body, Fuligni's Riserva has plenty of tannic clout to back up the sexy, opulent fruit."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $450-600

20530 Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2013Few and Far Between(Wines Located in New York)"It is an absolutely outrageously great wine from the volcanic rocks and white volcanic ash of these soils in this northeast sector of Napa to the south of Calistoga.

20535 Kistler Pinot Noir - Vintage 2007cuvée Catherine(Wines Located in New York)"Following the brilliant success of Kistler's 2007s, Steve Kistler and his sidekick, Mark Bixler, deserve kudos for what they have achieved in the more challenging 2008 vintage. This is the first vintage in which 100% of the fermentations were indigenous, and, fortunately, all their Sonoma Coast vineyards were far enough south that they were not tainted by any of the smoke from the ferocious fires that spread through Mendocino. The 2008s appear to be slightly more fruit-forward, with a touch less minerality than the 2007s. "(95-97pts)6 bottles per lot $750-1000

20536 Kistler Pinot Noir - Vintage 2004Kistler Vineyard2nl, 1ltl (Wines Located in New York)"Violet, cranberry, cherry, pomegranate, and rose petal aromas jump from the glass of the tangy, medium-bodied 2004 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard.

The 2012 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard, which comes primarily from the Calera clone, has oodles of strawberries and floral blueberries in a soft, round, medium-bodied style. Pure, pretty and elegant, this is a Pinot Noir to drink over the next 5-6 years."(91pts)3 bottles per lot $240-300

20538 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1996Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted three times since bottling, the 1996 Lafite-Rothschild is unquestionably this renowned estate's greatest wine. As I indicated last year, only 38% of the crop was deemed grand enough to be put into the final blend, which is atypically high in Cabernet Sauvignon (83%). This massive wine may be the biggest, largest-scaled Lafite I have ever tasted. It will require many years to come around...the wine exhibits a thick-looking, ruby/purple color, and a knock-out nose of lead pencil, minerals, flowers, and black currant scents. Extremely powerful and full-bodied, with remarkable complexity for such a young wine, this huge Lafite is oozing with extract and richness, yet has managed to preserve its quintessentially elegant personality. This wine is even richer than it was prior to bottling. It should

I have consistently found the 1996 Bolgheri Sassicaia to be an impressive wine on the few occasions I have had to taste it. This is one of those rare underrated vintages that bring so much delight and surprise in an important retrospective such as this. As I recall from my informal tasting, this Sassicaia shows a heavy dose of Cabernet Sauvignon typicity but without the astringent medicinal tone or unripe greenness you might expect. Instead, it delivers a bright but balanced, tonic verve that is driven by the wine's natural acidity. I had previously paired this wine with an oversized bistecca alla fiorentina t-bone steak and the marriage was perfect. This was a difficult vintage in Bolgheri, but the results in the bottle suggest otherwise."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $220-300

Its dense purple/black color is followed by copious quantities of Crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, silky tannins, a voluptuous texture and stunning purity as well as length. This full-bodied effort is a fabulous example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a tribute to this amazing family. It is so good now, why wait?

This wine comes from their Stags Leap property and is a beauty. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five is a stunner made from 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest other varietals. It is aged in 100% new oak, but you would never tell that given its richness of blackcurrant fruit, classic flowers and unsmoked cigar tobacco. The wine needs 3-4 years, as most 2013s do, and should be a 30-year wine. It is a beautiful baby, but bottle age will definitely unleash more subtleties and richness.

Klein. The year was the most abundant in Spottswoode's history, producing 5,852 cases of a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc. Interestingly, this was also one of the great early stars in the tasting, showing that high yields can (when conditions are perfect and they were in 1991, with a long growing season with plenty of sunshine, but no real extreme heat waves). This wine still has a dense, ruby/bluish-purple color, full body, a stunning nose of black raspberry, blackcurrant, licorice and camphor. The wine has fabulous intensity, full body, sweet tannin and a long, long finish. It is easy to say this has reached full maturity, but it still has a youthfulness and vibrancy that belies that notion. Look for this to continue to drink well for another 20 years. This is a great vintage for Napa Bordeaux blends."(96pts)5 bottles per lot $400-550

20642 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2000(Wines Located in New York)"In 2000, Rosemary Cakebread was still in charge, and production soared to more than 5,000 cases for the first time since 1992. This was a challenging vintage in California, but this wine is a real sleeper of that year and certainly one of the vintage's strongest efforts. This was the first wine made entirely at the new Spottswoode Winery. The blend was identical to so many of the Spottswoode wines: 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc. Exotic, rich, blue and black fruits soar from the glass of this wine that seems open-knit, velvety textured and not terribly structured, but possessing beautiful fruit and fragrance. It is a sleeper selection and a beauty of medium body to drink over the next 7-8 years."(93pts)1 magnum per lot $70-100

Powerful for a Lafite, this wine unfolds to reveal extraordinary richness, purity, and overall symmetry in addition to stunning flavor depth and persistence. The finish lasts for nearly a minute.

Dark garnet/plum/purple, this is compelling stuff and drinkable already, but capable of lasting another 25-30 years. This beauty is not to be missed! Only 3,000 cases were produced, from a blend of 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon."(100pts)

20684 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999Backus Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"From a hillside overlooking the Oakville District, Phelps produces small quantities of their single vineyard Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, which is aged in 100% new French Taransaud oak. The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard is an astonishingly rich, full-bodied, powerful, super-extracted, unctuously-textured endeavor with layers of mineral-infused black cherry and cassis fruit wrapped in toasty new oak. Tannin is present, but it is silky and well-integrated. Sound acidity provides admirable delineation to the wine's huge framework."(93-96pts)12 bottles per lot $1500-2000

Huge and fat in the mouth; weighty, deep and powerful. Strong pineapple and soil tones. Sound acidity gives this rather massive wine a lovely shape on the back end.

20687 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1989Hommage a Jacques Perrin, Château de Beaucastel(Wines Located in New York)"The most massive, biggest, concentrated, and structured of any of the Jacques Perrins, but it is still 5-10 years away from full maturity great intensity and is extraordinary to taste a potentially perfect wine."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $700-900

20688 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2001Reserve des Celestins, H. Bonneau1lstl, 1vlscl, 1lvl, 2wc (Wines Located in New York)"...is a real treat as this cuvée flirts with perfection. Already revealing some pink and amber at the edge, the color is surprisingly evolved for a wine from this vintage. However, that s deceptive as the aromatics offer incredible aromas of dried flowers, beef blood, spice, figs, sweet black currants and kirsch, smoked game, lavender, and sweaty but attractive saddle leather-like notes. Full-bodied and massively endowed, with abundant silky tannins, it possesses the balance to age for 30+ years."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $900-1200

20689 Barolo - Vintage 1989Collina Rionda Riserva, B. Giacosavlscl (Wines Located in New York)

"I never fail to be utterly seduced by this transcendental, emotionally moving Barolo. The Rionda isn't Giacosa's most powerful wine, rather it is a Barolo built on elegance. Impossibly fine, silky tannins frame subtle, yet incredibly vivid aromatics that meld into a gorgeous core of violets, roses, tar, licorice and minerals."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $3500-5000

20691 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2012Chimere1x1 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"It's a massive, masculine and structured Châteauneuf du Pape that needs to be tasted to be believed.

Endowed with generous ripe fruit, it is a seamless, seductive Monfortino that possesses incredible length as well as purity in a style that perfectly encapsulates the qualities of the vintage. With air, suggestions of roses, cocoa, tar and anise emerge to complete this magnificent expression of Barolo from Serralunga.

20701 Château Cheval Blanc - Vintage 2000St. Emilionlscl (Wines Located in New York)"...saturated purple color along with a reticent but striking bouquet of blackberries, blueberries, truffles, and mocha. In spite of its tightness, aeration reveals scents of licorice, menthol, and saddle leather. Opulent

and full-bodied, with low acidity, sweet tannin, and a 60-second finish, it is unquestionably as profound as the 1990 and 1982. I still believe the 2000 has the potential to be the most compelling Cheval Blanc since the mythical 1947 and 1949..."(100pts)1 magnum per lot $1500-2000

20702 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 1986St. Julienbn (Wines Located in New York)"The late Michel Delon always thought that this was the greatest vintage he had produced. We often tasted it side by side with the 1982, because I always preferred the latter vintage. Of course, the two vintages are quite different in style, with the 1986 a monument to classicism, with great tannin, extraordinary delineation, and a huge, full-bodied nose of sweet, ripe cassis fruit intermixed with vanilla, melon, fruitcake, and a multitude of spices. The wine has always been phenomenally concentrated, yet wonderfully fresh and vigorous. The wine still seems young, yet it is hard to believe it is not close to full maturity."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

20703 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 2000Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"The wine offers a saturated ruby/purple color in addition to reticent but promising aromas of toast, coffee, licorice, Crème de cassis, and roasted nuts. Dense, chewy, and backward, with tremendous purity and density in addition to obvious toasty oak, it is full-bodied, powerful, tannic, and backward. Twenty-four to 48 hours of aeration only hints at its ultimate potential. This blockbuster will be exceptionally long-lived."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $1600-2200

20704 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1986Pauillac1ts, 2lbsl, 1sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Now at 30 years of age, there is a gulf between the two Pichons in this vintage that no longer exists. The 1986 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has long been one of the best wines from the estate alongside the 1982 (even if the first bottle was a little oxidized). The second bottle was representative. It has a classic pencil-lead, cedar-infused nose that rockets from the glass, a subtle floral note developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, a pinch of white pepper and cedar, structured compared to coeval vintages and perhaps further along its drinking plateau than previous examples. Certainly à point, I would be reaching for bottles of this now if you cannot locate those 1982s, or alternatively seek out the superlative 1996. This still remains a fine, rather regal Pichon-Lalande. Tasted July 2016."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $400-500

20705 Chambertin - Vintage 2002Clos de Bèze, V. Girardin(Wines Located in New York)"Wild, musky aromas of strawberry, minerals and smoky

oak. Wonderfully silky on entry, then suave and aristocratic in the middle palate. Very subtle flavors build impressively on the sweet finish, which features very fine tannins."(92pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $140-180

20706 Krug Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1996(Wines Located in New York)"Remarkably perfumed nose projects an exotic bouquet of deep, leesy yellow fruit, minerals, honeycomb, smoked meat and flowers, with Asian spices building expanding in the glass. Almost painfully concentrated, offering a surreal parade of orchard and pit fruits, smoked meat, toasted brioche and marrow braced by intensely salty, stunningly incisive minerality. Imagine a Frankenstein's monster of Chablis Le Clos and Clos Ste. Hune-but one with perfect balance, of course-and you get an idea of what I found in my bottle. The energetic, stony character builds exponentially on the finish, which didn't seem to, well, finish. The best analogy I can come up with for the intensity, focus and clarity of this Champagne is liquefied barbed wire. Utterly hallucinatory and one of the most amazing wines I've ever been fortunate enough to drink."(99+pts IWC)4 bottles per lot $1400-1800

20707 Amarone - Vintage 1998Dal Forno(Wines Located in New York)"...a supreme example of this wine, almost overwhelming in its aromatic impact, luxuriously sweet, ripe, jammy, and chocolatey, mouthfilling and powerful in flavor, broad and caressing, solid and sustained from the attack to the lengthy, lingering finish, superbly shaped and balanced, pedal to the floor power and shapely elegance all in one package. The score is probably too conservative, but it can easily be checked over the next 25 years."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $600-800

20708 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Madrona Ranch(Wines Located in New York)"While I am not surprised that the 2001 Thorevilos turned out to be perfect, the 2001 Madrona Ranch was more of an eye-opener in that it has become even more extraordinary than I predicted eight years ago. A prodigious wine, with complex notes of subtle barbecue smoke intermixed with blueberry pie, black currant liqueur, acacia flowers, lead pencil shavings, and sweet foresty floor notes, this wine builds incrementally with layer upon layer of fruit, glycerin and concentration. The finish goes well past a minute, and the wine is full-bodied and deep, with wonderfully sweet tannin. It is still an adolescent in terms of its total evolution, but it is irresistible simply because of the flawless nature of the wine and incredible perfume and flavor intensity. Simply amazing! Both of these wines are adolescents, and probably won't peak for another 5-8 years and keep for 30-40."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

20709 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2002

Madrona Ranchvlscl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2002 Madrona Ranch possesses an opaque blue/purple color as well as an extraordinary, enveloping, massive aromatic profile consisting of spring flowers, charcoal, lead pencil shavings, blueberries, raspberries and blackberry liqueur. In the mouth, there is sensational texture, full-bodied intensity, and terrific freshness, precision and vibrancy, despite what is undeniably a massive, rich, intense wine that should age well for another 25-35 years. The 2001s were about as profound as I have ever tasted from Abreu, but the 2002s may be even sexier since they are slightly more evolved."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

20710 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2004Madrona Ranch(Wines Located in New York)"...displays a black/purple color to the rim and an extraordinarily beautiful nose of lead pencil shavings, blue and black fruits, licorice, subtle oak, and some acacia flowers. The wine has fabulous stuffing, a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel, tremendous opulence, but plenty of tannin lurking below the surface."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

20711 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2004(Wines Located in New York)"...by far the strongest vintage at Bryant Family Vineyard, displaying the classic blueberry jam notes intermixed with cassis, smoke, underbrush, and spice. It is a full-bodied, opulent, fleshy wine that is beautifully pure, long, dense, and concentrated. Nevertheless, the forward style of this vintage argues for drinking this wine over the next 15+ years."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

20712 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1997

(Wines Located in New York)"Opaque purple-colored with a dense, chewy, full-bodied personality, it displays abundant cassis, mineral, and earth notes. This brilliantly made, super-concentrated, pure, blockbuster possesses sweet tannin as well as a terrific finish."(98pts)1 magnum per lot $350-500

20713 Harlan Estate Red - Vintage 1998(Wines Located in New York)"...one of the three or four most riveting wines of this irregular vintage it possesses a degree of sweetness, richness, and intensity not found in most 1998s. The color is opaque black/purple/plum. The bouquet offers scents of ripe blackberries, cedar, licorice, and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannin, low acidity, and stunning ripeness and length..."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $420-550

"Having performed spectacularly well last year in the retrospective of ten-year old Napa Cabernets, this 2001 remains incredibly young, with all of its potential waiting to burst forth. Its dense purple color is followed by notes of mulberries, creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, graphite and subtle smoke. The wine reveals fabulous fruit along with full-bodied power and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood. Forget it for another 4-5 years and drink it over the following 25-30 years."(98pts)4 bottles per lot $1000-1300

20715 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 1997Insignia(Wines Located in New York)"An inky/plum/purple color is accompanied by a stunning bouquet of violets, charcoal, creme de cassis and a hint of toast. Prodigious when it hits the palate with a full-bodied expansiveness, there is not a hard edge to be found in the 1997, only velvety tannins, compelling depth and fruit intensity, and stunning purity. It is a perfect expression of Napa viticulture and wine that should continue to age effortlessly for two decades or more."(100pts)3 bottles per lot $750-1000

20716 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 2002Insignia(Wines Located in New York)"The 2002 boasts an inky/purple color along with notes of graphite, violets, blackberries, creme de cassis and hints of charcoal and barbecue in addition to a full-bodied, multilayered mouthfeel that builds incrementally with great purity, staggering fruit concentration, and a long, velvety, 50+-second finish. This prodigious effort should continue to drink well for 20+ years."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $500-700

20717 Maybach Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007Materium(Wines Located in New York)"The prodigious 2007 Materium exhibits an even more opaque purple color, and ratchets up the level of intensity and aromatic complexity. Blackberry, black raspberry, blueberry, and cassis aromas intermixed with notes of crushed rocks, spring flowers, and toasty new oak are found in this beauty. Outstanding intensity along with full-bodied power and beautifully integrated acids, tannins, alcohol, and wood..."(99pts)4 bottles per lot $900-1200

20718 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 20031x3 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"This 2003 was showing spectacularly well, and based on my recollection, I think I may have liked it even more than the 2002, which is the reverse of how I felt a decade ago. One of the biggest (14.6% alcohol) wines made by Screaming Eagle during this period, it boasts an opaque ruby/purple color as well as classic, pure, creme de cassis, cedarwood and hints of Asian soy sauce and forest floor notes. The multidimensional aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, silky-textured, opulent, rich, atypically big wine that is impeccably

well-balanced. It is just starting to come into its own. Four to five more years in the cellar will prove magical, and this 2003 is one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage. It should last another 20+ years."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $6500-8500

20719 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, which I loved last year, has gotten even better, something I saw across the board with the bottled 2005s (a superb year for Bordeaux varietals). This blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc was aged in 67% new French oak for 21 months. It possesses a gorgeous, Pauillac-like bouquet of cedar, creme de cassis, licorice, smoke, and earth as well as sweet tannins, full body, fabulous layers of fruit, a noble sweetness, and outstanding length. This 2005 can be drunk now or cellared for 25+ years."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $2200-3000

20720 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2005Atlantis Fe 203 1A(Wines Located in New York)"An extraordinarily flowery nose interwoven with scents of blueberries, blackberries, incense, and graphite soars from the glass. Although not the biggest or most concentrated Syrah Krankl has made, it is one of the most nuanced, elegant, and complex. It remains full-bodied, but builds incrementally on the palate, and comes across as elegant and delicate, especially when compared to many California Syrahs. Nevertheless, the intensity is mind-boggling, and the finish lasts for nearly a minute."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

20721 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1995St. Julien1lbsl, 1 bottle different importer (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"Subtle yet aromatic character of Indian spices, currants and dried cherries.

This was wine of the year in 1998; well deserved."(95pts WS)7 bottles per lot $1000-1400

_____________________________

20722 Château Troplong Mondot - Vintage 2000St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"Extremely young with an unbelievable deep purple color, the 2000 Troplong Mondot has hardly budged since I tasted it in 2003. Two recent tastings confirmed that this is the greatest Troplong Mondot between their profound 1990 and more recent vintages such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Copious chocolate, graphite, blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and ink characteristics are present in this full-bodied, powerful, massive St.-Emilion. While the tannins are noticeable, they are better integrated than they were seven years ago, and the fruit, extract, and richness clearly outweigh the wine's structure. This 2000 will benefit from another 4-5

Silky tannins come on late and meld smoothly with the deep, sappy fruit, which refuses to let go of the palate."(95pts IWC)12 bottles per lot $850-1100

20736 Penfolds Grange - Vintage 19981wasl (Wines Located in New York)"The inky/purple color is followed by an extraordinarily intense nose of Crème de cassis intermixed with blueberry and floral notes. As the wine sits in the glass, aromas of meat, plums, and cola also emerge. It is a seamless effort with sweet tannin, well-integrated acidity, sensational extract, and layer upon layer of blackberry and cassis fruit that stain the palate and fill the mouth. Its harmony, freshness, and remarkable length (the finish lasts nearly a minute) suggest an all-time classic."(99pts)2 bottles per lot $750-1000

20737 Château Calon Segur - Vintage 1982St. Estephe1bn, 1vhs, 1lwisl, 1nl, 2sdc, 1scc, different importers (Wines Located in New York)" It is made in a traditional style, so do not expect to get turned-on by lavish quantities of vanillin-scented, toasty new oak, and sweet jammy fruit. Although massive, with incredible richness and plenty of fruit, this wine is dominated by its blackcurrant, mineral, cedar character. The copious tannins are still present, but they are integrated with the wine's other components. This classic Calon-Segur is built to stand the test of time. From a half-bottle it should reach full maturity by the turn of the century and last for at least 20-30 years. This is a remarkable wine that should find many admirers among true connoisseurs."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $450-600

20740 Château Gruaud Larose - Vintage 1982St. Julien3bn, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"A massive wine that is clearly of first-growth quality in this vintage, the 1982 Gruaud Larose remains a youngster. A broodingly dense, thick, unctuously textured, inky/plum/garnet/purple color offers up scents of beef blood, steak tartare, cassis, herbs, tobacco, and underbrush. One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage (as well as one of the most concentrated Bordeaux's I have ever tasted), it is a huge, full-bodied, weighty, rich wine whose tannins are getting silkier and silkier. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life. This behemoth is a singularly profound example of Gruaud Larose that continues to justify its legendary status."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $950-1300

20742 Château Talbot - Vintage 1982St. Julien3bn, 2lscl, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Along with the 1986, the 1982 is one of the greatest Talbots ever made. Far more evolved than its stablemate, Gruaud Larose, it exhibits a dense garnet color to the rim along with a huge, sweet, exotic nose of charcoal, beef blood, licorice, herbs, and black fruits. A hint of figs suggests borderline overripeness, but the wine remains fleshy and full-bodied with sweet tannin and an expansive, heady mouthfeel. While fully mature, it should hold for another decade. Release price: ($115.00/case)"(95pts)3 bottles per lot $700-900

20749 Château Cheval Blanc - Vintage 1982St. Emilionbn, lbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Revealing considerable amber in its dark plum/garnet color, this intensely fragrant 1982 is somewhat of a paradox in that the front end suggests full maturity, but the mid-palate, finish, and overall texture denote a closed wine. A gorgeously sweet entry displays flavors of caramel, roasted coffee, jammy red and black fruits, coconut, and smoke. It is fat and full-bodied, with considerable tannin, structure, and muscle in the finish. Flamboyantly rich and precocious early in life, it is going through an awkward stage where the tannin is present, but it is also sexy, juicy, and formidably-structured. When the 1982 Cheval Blanc's component parts become totally in sync, it will be capable of meriting a three-digit rating."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $700-900

20752 Château Margaux - Vintage 1986Margauxbn, vlbsl, taped label (Wines Located in New York)"The 1986 Château Margaux is one of the dark horses of the vintage. It has an exquisite bouquet that is now fully mature, with a mixture of red and black fruit, violets, pastilles and hints of cold stone. It blossoms in the glass, gaining intensity all the time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a more robust Margaux as you would expect given the vintage, clearly with firm backbone, more straight-laced than the 1985 or 1989. Yet there is wonderful delineation and focus here. If you seek strictness and classicism in a wine, then this is the place to come, plus there is superb mineralité and tension on the ferrous finish. Perhaps a little overlooked in recent years, the 1986 Margaux comes highly recommended for those who love the property. This is a wine finally coming of age. Tasted July 2016."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $450-600

20753 Musigny - Vintage 2001Vieilles Vignes, Comte de Voguenl (Wines Located in New York)"One of the finest wines of the vintage, this is simply a spectacular effort that has captured every bit of the potential it originally displayed in cask. Restrained and backward nose of a fantastically complex mix of blackberries, spice, cedar, soy, anise and dried herbs followed by full-bodied, multi-layered flavors of amazing length. Opulent and lavish yet all remains exquisitely balanced and this is astonishingly precise. A real stunner of a wine that is as classy and graceful as they come.

20757 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1988La Landonne, E. Guigallstl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"Made from 100% Syrah from the Côte Brune, La Landonne's color is nearly black. A true blockbuster, it is a massive, almost impenetrable wine, which, with cellaring, is marked by aromas of smoked game, spicy nuts, saddle leather, and a roasted black fruit character. It is a wine with extraordinary power and forcefulness, as well as more acidity and tannin than Guigal's La Mouline. La Landonne requires 10-15 years of patience. Most observers who have had a chance to see all the vintages of La Landonne since its debut in 1978, agree that it is a wine with 30-40 years of longevity."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

After the welcoming richness and savory expressions of Chablis character in the Preuses, this wine displays a cool restraint and stony minerality. A fascinating wealth of floral and herbal nuances on the nose similarly infuse a mouth-filling, satiny, yet firm palate, accompanied by grapefruit, orange, gooseberry, white peach, cyanic hints of fruit pit, and chalk, and leading to a finish of extraordinary, subtle persistence. This formidably dense Chablis should be permitted several years of bottle evolution, and should then drink well for more than a decade. The 2005 is creamy, honeyed, malted, and amazingly concentrated, with hints of exotic fruits and bitter cyanic notes an extravagantly, colorfully impressive Les Clos, if not

20771 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1971lbsl, outstanding color (Wines Located in London)"All the older vintages of Dom Pérignon develop a clear tone of roasted coffee beans.

That said, the 1982 is a great wine, no doubt because of the vintage rather than the winemaking at that time. A brilliant effort, it boasts a dense purple color as well as a sweet, flowery bouquet revealing plenty of creme de cassis, plum, and cherry notes, stunning concentration, a boatload of power, sweet tannins (the sweetest and easiest to taste among the St.-Juliens), and a long finish. Although close to full maturity, it has at least 20-25 years of life remaining. Release price: ($130.00/case)"(95pts)3 bottles per lot $750-1000

20814 Vigna d'Alceo - Vintage 1999Castello di Rampolla(Wines Located in New York)"The monumental 1999 Vigna d'Alceo boasts an exceptionally provocative nose of liquid minerals, graphite, plums, Crème de cassis, and cherry liqueur. It is fabulously concentrated yet remarkably light on its feet, with medium to full body, sweet tannin, and layer upon layer of flavor nuances.

Make no mistake about it, there is plenty of intensity and muscle here, but in 2007 Sperss is exceptionally harmonious from the start. The fruit is decidedly darker than the red-toned Conteisa, while an array of licorice, smoke and iron all typical of Serralunga add further gravitas.

It is plush, succulent, and hedonistic, yet at the same time complex. I loved their 1998, and this wine seems to have turned out just as well.

There is an equally stony character to the beautifully detailed middle weight plus flavors that possess real verve and superb depth on the gorgeously textured and markedly firm finish.

The nose is simply breathtaking - quintessential Haut-Brion with ebullient red berry fruit, roasted herbs, gravel, terracotta tiles on a warm summer's day...it is simply wave after wave of intoxicating scents that could bring even the most stoic person to tears of joy. The palate displays heavenly balance, pitch-perfect acidity, perhaps spicier than previous bottles that I have tasted, and what depth and

dimension in this outstanding wine. That hint of graphite on the finish is a cheeky nod to Pauillac, as if to thumb its nose at the First Growths, because alongside Château Latour, almost by stealth, the Haut-Brion is one of the greatest Bordeaux in this millennial year. Tasted November 2014."(99+pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

20864 Château Latour - Vintage 2000Pauillaclscl (Wines Located in New York)"A young wine that electrifies every taste bud in your mouth.

Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of lemon curd, Mirabelle, and clear honey. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine definition and there seems to be a great deal of energy and vigor dispensed for your pleasure.

20867 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2013Sauternes(Wines Located in New York)"Firstly, you notice the color, which is a touch deeper than recent vintages at this stage. The bouquet is quite honeyed and rich for Yquem at this early juncture, with subtle scents of peach skin, white flowers, and a puff of chalk and frangipane. The palate is viscous on the entry, all about the texture at first, coating the mouth with luscious botrytized fruit. There are touches of Seville orange marmalade, fresh apricot, a hint of spice and passion fruit. This is imbued with impressive depth and weight, perhaps an Yquem that is determined to make an impression after last year-s absence. It might not possess the finesse of a top flight Yquem, but it has immense power and persistency."(95-97pts)2 half-bottles per lot $300-400

Sauternes1x12 half-bottle banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"The Château Yquem 2014 was picked over 9 weeks this year, with one-quarter of the grapes picked prior to 15 September. It delivers 134 grams per liter residual sugar and 7.3 grams per liter tartaric acid, with a pH 3.60. It has a captivating bouquet (I know...I know...what else were you expecting) But it entrances with its pure, wild honey notes mixed with almond and white chocolate scents, bestowed with beguiling delineation and focus. The palate is very poised with the acidity nigh on perfect. Occasionally an Yquem only reveals its components parts at this early juncture, necessitates conjecture. However the 2014 has a sense of harmony and completeness already, as if the élevage is merely there to usher it on to its finished state. There is undeniably great depth here, perhaps less conspicuous than other vintages because of that silver thread of acidity: notes of lemon sherbet, orange zest, shaved ginger and again, a few "flakes' of white chocolate. It is extremely long with tenderness rather than power on the finish. It's not quite up there in the rarefied heights of say, the 2001 or 2009, but it is what we call in the trade, "the business.""(96-98pts)12 half-bottles per lot $1200-1600

20872 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2012Clos St. Jacques, A. Rousseau(Wines Located in New York)"Bright, dark red. Highly perfumed nose combines tangy red berries, rose petal and crushed rock. Silky on entry, then intensely flavored and bracing, delivering urgent, sharply delineated flavors of crushed red fruits, flowers and minerals. Offers outstanding cut and inner-mouth tension, especially in the context of the year. Wonderfully complex and precise on the juicy, endless finish, which leaves the taste buds quivering. Clos Saint-Jacques doesn't get much better than this, and I would not be at all surprised if this wine merited an even higher score as it approaches maturity."(95+pts VM)1 bottle per lot $700-900

explosive bouquet laced with dark red fruit, mint, flowers and graphite. Cool, mineral notes are woven throughout, giving the wine its sense of urgency.

20875 Musigny - Vintage 2010Vieilles Vignes, Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in New York)"A highly spiced and intensely floral nose evidences hints of violet, lilac, wild rose and lavender along with notes of both red and black pinot fruit, kirsch, earth and stone hints that continue onto the pure and silky broad-shouldered flavors that also possess a powerful yet almost delicate mouth feel. This is a very interesting wine as the dense tannins are so fine-grained that the palate impression is like the finest satin. The driving minerality adds another element and there is a palpable sense of energy to the balanced, focused and beautifully well-delineated finish that explodes with mouth coating dry extract. This is unapologetically built to age and indeed it will require plenty of it. Succinctly put, this is breathtakingly good."(97pts BH)2 bottles per lot $1600-2200

20876 Musigny - Vintage 2012Vieilles Vignes, Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Musigny Vielles Vignes Grand Cru from de Vogüé has slightly brighter and more vivacious fruit than J-F Mugnier, and in fact, the two wines seem to go in two different trajectories in the glass, this blossoming and the other becoming more occluded. De Vogüé's Musigny is unashamedly floral in style, very elegant and yet delineated. There is a noticeable estuary scents, mudflats and seaweed, that begin to permeate the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, wonderful acidity and succinctly integrated new oak that is barely tangible. It is intense but elegant, long and tender in the mouth. It is a fabulous Musigny, one of the best that the domaine has produced in recent years."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $1500-2000

Jadot4lscl (Wines Located in New York)"Here the nose is decidedly fresher with ripe, expressive and dense red berry fruit nuanced with ample Gevrey earth that continues onto the rich, full and very vibrant flavors that are delicious and built to age, culminating in a hugely long finish that does a slow build from the mid-palate on back. This is as good a young Jadot Clos St. Jacques as I can remember in some time. In short, there is formidable potential here."(92-95pts BH)4 bottles per lot $700-900

20878 Clos St. Denis - Vintage 2005L. LeMoine

1nl, 1vlwrl, 1nc (Wines Located in New York)"Good medium-deep red. Very sexy nose dominated by violet and dried rose, with a note of meaty reduction. Dense, sweet and thick; offers unusual volume for a young Clos Saint-Denis. But this impressively broad-shouldered wine finishes with terrific grip, vibrant acids and outstanding subtle persistence."(93-96pts VM)3 bottles per lot $500-700

20879 Volnay - Vintage 2005Clos des 60 Ouvrees, La Pousse D'or(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Volnay Caillerets Clos des 60 Ouvrees (like the Clos d'Audinac and Clos de la Bousse d'Or, a monopole) features the oldest vines in the estate's Volnay holdings, more than half of them planted in the mid fifties. Black cherry, purple plum, pistachio, ginger, and cumin inform the nose. On the palate this offers old vines creaminess, flattering glycerin, and yet also a persistently bright freshness of black fruits. A deep, lingering, faintly caramel-inflected bitter-sweetness, spice, and chalk further testifies to the concentration in this wine, which surpasses the Bousse d'Or in structure and gives it a hard run for its money in the charm department. Check on this in 8-10 years but then figure on another decade of improvement in the cellar."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $220-300

20880 Chevalier Montrachet - Vintage 2010Domaine Leflaive1vlwrl (Wines Located in New York)"An airy, cool and ultra-refined nose displays distinct lemon-lime and acacia blossom scents include background notes of stone and saline that complement to perfection the intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess superb precision on the explosive and palate staining finish that seems to just go on and on. This is quite dry; in fact it's arguably the driest wine in the range yet this is not forbiddingly austere. I very much like the contrast between the sense of focused power and the mouth feel which is almost delicate. This is sheer class and the balance is flawless."(97pts BH)2 bottles per lot $1000-1400

20881 Chevalier Montrachet - Vintage 2012Domaine Leflaive(Wines Located in New York)"Pure aromas of pineapple, crushed stone and menthol; comes across as riesling-like compared to the Batard. Creamy-sweet, fine-grained and utterly seamless, showing an impossibly light touch to its bracing grapefruit, lemon and mineral flavors. A brilliant combination of the velvety lower part of the appellation and the tension and minerality of the top of Chevalier-Montrachet."(97+pts VM)2 bottles per lot $900-1200

with the classic wet stone influences that continue onto the vibrant flavors of crystalline purity and delineation. Like the Bienvenues, this is almost painfully intense and the explosive and beautifully well-balanced finish seems to be constructed out of liquid rock."(96pts BH)2 bottles per lot $1000-1400

20883 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2010H. Boillot(Wines Located in New York)"Here the aromatic profile is distinctly different from any of the preceding grands crus as the primary fruit element is green rather than white or yellow though there are apple, pear and plenty of mineral notes in the background. The rich, powerful and focused big-bodied flavors exhibit almost painful intensity as there is a plethora of mouth coating extract that buffers the very firm tannic spine that allows all of this size and weight to remain exquisitely well-balanced."(95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $170-240

20884 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2011H. Boillot(Wines Located in New York)"As with several wines in the range there is an intense note of mineral reduction along with green apple, pear and spiced herbal tea scents. There is extraordinary size, weight and intensity to the astonishingly concentrated and overtly muscular flavors that coat the palate with dry extract before culminating in a stunningly persistent finish. This is one big and powerful wine yet once again there is absolutely no trace of heaviness."(95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $150-200

20896 Cornas - Vintage 2012Reynard, T. Allemand6vlscl (Wines Located in New York)"Coming from the oldest vines of the estate and one of the best vineyards in the world for Syrah, the 2012 Cornas Reynard is a massive, thick and unctuous effort that's bursting at the seams with notions of Crème de cassis, crushed violets, smoked game and incredible minerality. Just a sensational Cornas that surpasses what was achieved in 2009 and 2010, this full-bodied, concentrated and structured effort has the fruit to be enjoyable now (this is a common trait of the vintage), yet has the depth, richness and balance to evolve for over two decades. It doesn't come cheap, but it's up there with some of the finest Syrahs made."(98pts)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

"The 2010 Barolo Cannubi is a layered and ethereal wine with dried flowers, candied orange peel, tar, spice, tobacco and cola. That signature touch of dried mint or pressed lavender flower appears at the back. This expression is particularly clean, focused and bright. Paolo Scavino has rented this half-hectare vineyard site since 1985. The mouthfeel is thin and compact. Drink: 2017-2030."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

20900 Château Faugeres - Vintage 2000St. Emilion1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"This is a big time sleeper of the vintage as well as one of the vintage's most attractively priced wines. Faugeres has turned out an opaque black/purple-colored 2000 displaying aromas of ink, blackberry liqueur, licorice, and toasty oak. Seamless, rich, and full-bodied, with even more weight and length than it revealed prior to bottling, it is a reasonably-priced, serious wine that merits attention from consumers. Delicious stuff! Anticipated maturity: 2004-2018."(91pts)12 bottles per lot $400-600

20901 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 2000Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"...has an opaque ruby/purple color, followed by an extraordinary aromatic expression of liquid minerals/stones interwoven with the tell-tale graphite notes, mulberry, black currants, caramel, and tobacco. In the mouth, it is remarkably light on its feet, but somehow seems to pack intense flavors into layer upon layer of fruit and richness that cascade over the palate. A compelling wine, with extraordinary precision, great intensity, and a seamlessness..."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $1100-1500

20902 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 2000St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"The plushest, most ostentatious and dramatic of all the Leovilles in 2000, this wine is already sumptuous, displaying some nuances in its huge nose of vanilla bean, black chocolate, jammy black cherries, cassis, and graphite in a flamboyant style. Opulent, savory, rich, and full-bodied, it is a head-turning, prodigious wine and a complete contrast to the extracted behemoth of Leoville Barton and the backward, classic Leoville Las Cases. The Poyferre's low acidity, sweet tannin and an already gorgeous mouthfeel make it a wine to drink now as well as over the next 25 or more years."(97pts)

20904 Château Montrose - Vintage 1996St. Estephe1bsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at the vertical in London, I have instead used the tasting note from a bottle opened at the property when I visited just a couple of weeks later. The 1996 Montrose is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot picked between 23 September and 6 October. It was served alongside the 1986 Montrose, however, this is a far better wine and reconfirms Robert Parker's remarks at his own vertical at the property in 2014. For me, it is that loamy character that defines the nose freshly tilled, damp soil that tinctures the black fruit that takes you straight to this particular château. This is classic through and through and very well defined. The palate is wonderful with very fine delineation, pitch-perfect acidity, touches of graphite infusing the red and black fruit that dovetails into a very pretty, floral finish. This is clearly one of the great wines of the 1996 vintage and I would be stocking up as much as I could, because it will give 30-40 years of pleasure.

This is a full-bodied, extravagantly rich Pichon Lalande seemingly devoid of acidity and tannin, but the wine is incredibly well-balanced and pure. It is an amazing effort!"(100pts)3 bottles per lot $1600-2200

It is a blend of 65% Tinto Fino, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot/Malbec. Initially it seems lighter on the nose than the 1982, but given time in the glass it simply blossoms with pure kirsch and Morello cherry aromas, plus a dalliance with orange sorbet.

20964 Château Gruaud Larose - Vintage 1986St. Julien3ts (Wines Located in New York)"Still tasting as if it were only 7-8 years of age, the dense, garnet/purple-colored 1986 Gruaud-Larose is evolving at a glacier pace. The wine still has mammoth

structure, tremendous reserves of fruit and concentration, and a finish that lasts close to a minute. The wine is massive, very impressively constituted, with still some mouth-searing tannin to shed. Decanting of one to two hours in advance seems to soften it a bit, but this is a wine that seems to be almost immortal in terms of its longevity. It is a great Medoc classic, and certainly one of the most magnificent Gruaud-Larose ever made. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035. Last tasted, 10/02."(96pts)9 bottles per lot $1300-1900

The wine is medium-bodied, not a blockbuster by any means, but a wine of terrific balance, purity, symmetry, and style. Drink it over the next 20 years."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $160-220

"Intense blackberry and cherry, with hints of currant. Toasted oak and sweet tobacco too. Roses and other flowers, such as lilacs. Full-bodied, with masses of tannins yet incredibly long and seductive."(98pts WS)6 bottles per lot $600-800

21195 Château Montrose - Vintage 2003St. Estephe(Wines Located in New York)"The 2003 Montrose was served blind in Bordeaux on two occasions. Picked between 11 to 26 September, it is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. It remains one of the outstanding wines of a very black and white vintage. Without knowledge of the vintage, I was hesitant to suggest 2003, because though there is clearly fruit intensity locked up inside this Saint Estèphe, it is counterbalanced by the estate's trademark masculinity and austerity. So both on the nose and the palate it reaches this happy medium: pure blackberry, graphite and roasted herbs on the nose, perhaps even more elegant than I have observed on previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied rather than full bodied with sturdy tannins couched in layers of seamless blackberry and cassis fruit, offset by scents of tobacco and graphite. As usual it has immense length and depth, a Montrose that is really just a few chapters into what is sure to be a longer "book" than many other 2003s. It is not a perfect Montrose, but a couple of hairs' breadth away. Tasted February 2017."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

21196 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2003Pauillac1vlscl, 1nc (Wines Located in New York)"Wow. This shows so much ripe fruit and berry character with just the right hint of lead pencil and spice.

21199 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 2009St. Julien

(Wines Located in New York)"A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot that achieved 13.5% natural alcohol, this inky purple, unctuous wine possesses classic aromas of graphite, creme de cassis, blueberries, violets, licorice and Christmas fruitcake."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $220-280

21200 Château Latour - Vintage 2003Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"A prodigious effort, it boasts a saturated purple color as well as a gorgeous perfume of smoke, cedar, creme de cassis, flowers, crushed rocks, and blackberries. Massive and multi-layered, with huge richness and low acidity, it is about as unctuous as a young Latour can be. It could be compared to the 1982, but it may be even more pure, at least at this early stage, than that monumental wine. The level of intensity builds prodigiously in the mouth, and the finish lasts nearly a minute."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $700-850

21201 Château Margaux - Vintage 2003Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"A wine of extraordinary complexity and intensity, it reveals a deep purple color, a style not unlike the 1990 Margaux (possibly even more concentrated), a velvety texture, and notes of spring flowers interwoven with camphor, melted licorice, Crème de cassis, and pain grille. Not a blockbuster, it offers extraordinary intensity as well as a surreal delicacy/lightness."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $500-600

21202 Château Margaux - Vintage 2009Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"Abundant blueberry, cassis and acacia flower as well as hints of charcoal and forest floor aromas that are almost Burgundian in their complexity are followed by a wine displaying sweet, well-integrated tannins as well as a certain ethereal lightness despite the wine's overall size."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $650-800

21203 Chambertin - Vintage 1999Clos de Bèze, A. Rousseaulscl, tl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Full ruby-red. Extraordinarily perfumed, profound nose combines tangy black raspberry, rose petal, coffee and game; essence of Côte de Nuits pinot noir.

21205 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2010La Crau, Vieux Telegraphe(Wines Located in New York)"This full-bodied, meaty, thick, juicy effort possesses a boatload of tannin, but it also has incredible concentration."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $60-70

21206 Hermitage - Vintage 1990La Chapelle, P. Jabouletlbsl, ltvl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"Spectacular aromatics offer up aromas of incense, smoke, blackberry fruit, cassis, barbecue spice, coffee, and a touch of chocolate. As it sits in the glass, additional nuances of pepper and grilled steak emerge. There is extraordinary freshness for such a mammoth wine in addition to abundant tannin, an amazing 60-second finish, and a level of glycerin and thick, fleshy texture that have to be tasted to be believed."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $550-700

21207 Barolo - Vintage 1997Sperss, Gaja(Wines Located in New York)"A virtually perfect effort is the 1997 Sperss (30,000 bottles), which represents the essence of truffles, earth, and black cherries in its striking aromatics and multidimensional, opulent, full-bodied palate."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $380-450

21209 Dana Estates Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2013Lotus Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"this vintage and shows its multidimensional aromatics of violets, forest floor, blueberry and blackberry liqueur. It is backward, vibrant and young very much in the 2013 classic style of enormous richness, length and overall weight. "(98+pts)1 bottle per lot $420-600

21210 Dominus - Vintage 2014(Wines Located in New York)"The 2014s, where the production of Napanook was only 2,200 cases and Dominus slightly more than the 2015 at 4,000 cases, was another early harvest, although somewhat later than 2015. The 2014 Dominus, which is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot really struts its stuff. Moueix's belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronger and stronger vintages, each successive year, and the 2014 is a sexy, opulent, layered,

multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant, cedar wood, tobacco leaf , spice box and licorice. The color is a dense plum/ruby/purple, much like the Napanook. This is a beauty that is already drinking gorgeously as most 2014s are and will continue to evolve for 25 or so years."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $180-220

21211 Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2012Ark Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"A perfect wine is the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Arc Vineyard from Woodbridge's property on Howell Mountain. This is an amazingly deep, rich, blueberry, blackberry and mulberry scented and flavored wine with skyscraper-like texture, remarkable intensity, again great, great purity, and the new oak completely concealed by the lavish and extravagant amounts of fruit. One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, as are all these wines, the Ark Vineyard is certainly another blockbuster wine with no hard edges that comes across like a flawlessly constructed dress from an haute couture house in Paris."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

21212 Kapcsandy Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2008

Estate cuvée, State Lane Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"...this is an exquisite wine of great precision and profound concentration and complexity. It possesses an inky/purple color in addition to an ethereal nose of cassis, chocolate, burning embers, espresso and forest floor. Sweet tannins, a multidimensional mouthfeel, full-bodied power and good structure as well as freshness make for a prodigious example of wine that will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring, but will keep for 25-30 years."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $200-240

21214 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2013(Wines Located in New York)"The prodigious 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, including fruit from some of the oldest Cabernet vines still in existence in Napa. This full-bodied classic displays notes of forest floor, earth, Crème de cassis, blackberry liqueur, licorice and some pen ink. It is dense, full-bodied, prodigiously rich, massive in intensity, yet relatively light on its feet. This great ballerina of a wine has extraordinary ripeness but pulls back from the edge before going over the top. There are 1,000 cases of this classic, which should age effortlessly for 30+ years."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $600-750

21215 Sloan Red - Vintage 2009(Wines Located in New York)"...possesses lots of espresso roast, chocolate fudge,

21219 Peter Michael Chardonnay - Vintage 2013Ma Belle Fille(Wines Located in New York)"The 2013 Chardonnay Ma Belle Fille offers plenty of wet rocks, caramelized citrus, and again the apple blossom component -- or is it apple butter? There is a lemon meringue character as well, not to mention brioche. It is definitely different than the other Chardonnays, and it certainly seems as though the Calera clone component comes across very differently."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

21220 Sine Qua Non White - Vintage 2013Resiste(Wines Located in New York)"...45% Roussanne, 26% Chardonnay, 14% Petite Manseng, 10% Viognier and 5% Marsanne that spent 19 months in 46% new French oak and the balance in concrete eggs and used barrels. Possessing rock-star levels of richness and texture on the palate, with full-bodied depth and power that never seems heavy or cumbersome, it has classic SQN white notes of buttered golden fruits, honeysuckle, honeycomb, toast and white flowers."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $140-180

21225 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 2016Les Perrières, F. Carillon(Wines Located in London)"This too is aromatically quite restrained today with its cool and pretty if reluctant aromas of acacia, green apples, zest and spice.

2vhs, 1hs, 2lbsl, 1lstl, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"This wine was a big, rich fruit bomb in its youth, revealing notions of tapenade, olives, and herbs. It has always been delicious, and continues to display glorious levels of fruit, attractive, sweet tannin, and a velvety texture. I mistakenly thought it would be in its grave five or six years ago.

21231 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2006H. Boillot(Wines Located in New York)"Here the incredibly fresh and vibrant yet discreet nose reveals aromas of green apple, pear and wet stone, all of which introduces tautly muscled, broad-shouldered yet tangy full-bodied, notably ripe and sophisticated flavors of striking depth and length plus absolutely impeccable balance. What is perhaps most impressive though is that such a big wine retains such solid precision that continues on to a palate staining, wonderfully intense and bone dry finish. In short, this is a seriously impressive, indeed brilliant Corton-Charlemagne that should age for years."(95pts BH)4 bottles per lot $600-800

superbly well balanced flavors that possess stunning length. I doubt that this will one day equal the incredible '02 but it's not ridiculous to compare them. Another inspired effort in an amazingly long line of them."(91-94pts BH)1 bottle per lot $160-220

In the mouth, this is extraordinarily richly concentrated, with a wonderful sense of stuffing yet refinement and elegance as well. Spicy, fungal, meaty and stony flavors follow in a long finish. Here is one of those beyond-fruits-and-berries Burgundies that makes you shake your head in wonder that it could come from grapes.

21312 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1997sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon has to be one of the great buys left for profound Napa Cabernet. He's done the aging for you, and of course the wine is still an adolescent in terms of aging potential. Brilliant notes of cedar, spice box, cassis, smoke, and licorice soar from the glass, as if this wine were pretending to be a first-growth Pauillac. Full-bodied, powerful, still with a boatload of tannin to resolve, and just a faint lightening of the dense purple color at the rim, this is a brilliant wine from a vintage that produced relatively quick-evolving wines, but no such thing is tolerated at Philip Togni. This is a great Cabernet Sauvignon with the exuberance, purity, and richness of fruit that Napa provides, but with a Bordeaux structure that Togni, with his Bordeaux upbringing, somehow builds into the wine. This wine will continue to drink well for at least another 30+ years."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

21314 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is a more closed and restrained style of wine, with firm tannins, Bordeaux-like austerity, but dense ruby/purple with notes of menthol, black currant liqueur, coffee, and a hint of olive. The wine is full-bodied, youthful, tannic, and a promising candidate for long-term cellaring. In fact this kind of vintage at Togni generally means laying the wine away for at least a decade, which is always good advice here. This may be a 30- to 40-year Togni Cabernet Sauvignon."(92+pts)3 bottles per lot $200-260

21457 Cayuse Syrah - Vintage 2007Cailloux Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Baron's 2007 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is unusual for its combination of Côte Rôtie-like bacon, smoky black tea, and floral aromatic overtones with rich chocolate and licorice, all of these mingling with sappy confitured dark berries. This is amazingly supple and silken-textured, not because the tannins were baked-out of the fruit on the vine, but instead simply because they're so fine. After setting you up for a continuation of its incredible richness all the way to a long finish, it introduces tar, black pepper, and an almost horseradish- and mustard green-like bite for an effect of spine- not just tongue-tingling invigoration. At the same time, the mouthwateringly carnal aspects of this multifarious performance are never far below the surface."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $85-110

21465 Mollydooker Shiraz - Vintage 2006Carnival of Love(Wines Located in New York)"The 2006 Shiraz "Carnival of Love" was sourced from a single vineyard.

The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins, dishing out lovely ripe and intense blackberry, leather, sage, tobacco and white- pepper notes."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $100-140

21537 Château Gilette - Vintage 1967Sauternes2ts, 2lbsl, 2sdc, 1sos, amber color (Wines Located in New York)"Everyone agrees that no greater wine was made in 1967 than Château d'Yquem, but I would love to have the opportunity to taste Gilette's 1967 Creme de Tete alongside Yquem. This fabulously rich wine has an awesomely intense bouquet of caramel and buttery hazelnuts, combined with intense aromas of honeyed fruit such as pineapples, oranges, and apricots. Decadently rich, with an unctuous, chewy texture, yet with enough acidity to provide great delineation and balance, this is a magnificent wine that has miraculously retained an amazing freshness for its 23 years of age. It should continue to evolve and improve for another 30, perhaps even 40, years. This is an outrageous thrill-a-sip Sauternes! Anticipated maturity: Now-2025.

21541 Château Gilette - Vintage 1971Creme de Tete, Sauterneslwisl, sos, amber color (Wines Located in New York)"The 1971 Château Gilette Creme de Tete has a slightly muffled nose at first, but it begins to clear with rigorous aeration. It eventually reveals scents of dried honey, dried white flowers, a touch of curry powder and marmalade. The palate is medium-bodied with a lightly viscous entry, nicely balanced with orange rind and spice. This is nicely focused, with just the right amount of nuttiness to leave a dry taste that begs another sip. This is a fine 1971, although the 1967 is better. Drink

21546 Château Gilette - Vintage 1967Crème de Tete, Sauternesbn, lsbl, amber color (Wines Located in New York)"The Château Gilette Creme de Tete 1967 is perhaps the wine that really convinced me how great this wine can be. It has the finest bouquet of several older vintages: tangerine, beeswax, pine needles and cumin, that opens wonderfully with aeration. The palate is beautifully balanced with an allspice, dried orange peel, marmalade and white pepper. This is very harmonious and elegant with a long, tender finish not far removed from a Tokaji Aszu! Lovely. Drink now-2030+. Tasted March 2014."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $240-350

Notes of cola and sassafras add aromatic allure. Smoky, gamey, forest floor nuances and distinctively stony minerality mark this wine's mouth-coating palate and promising length. There is no lack of fine, well-covered tannin here and one can envision at least 5-7 years of improvement."(91-92pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

21578 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 1990Vieilles Vignes, Ponsotsdc (Wines Located in New York)"This is a prodigious effort. Given recent perplexing offerings from this producer, it is amazing how phenomenal Ponsot's wines can be. The 1990 exhibits a deep, dense, murky, ruby color as well as an explosive nose of gravel, spring flowers, and black and red fruits. Extremely rich and full-bodied, with spectacular concentration, an unctuous texture, and an extraordinarily long finish, this wine remains youthful,

but its fat and succulent texture are hard to resist."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $1800-2400

21579 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 2002Vieilles Vignes, Ponsot(Wines Located in New York)"There is even more aromatic complexity with similar and brilliant red and black fruit notes though not the spice with superbly sappy, concentrated and very pure flavors that display flat out incredible length and impeccable balance. This will join the ranks of some of the best vintages of Ponsot's Clos de la Roche, which is saying something. It is however built for the very patient."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $280-380

Plush, fat and large-scaled; a full-blown expression of soil, with notes of smoke and game. This boasts extraordinary sweetness for the vintage, remaining just this side of over the top. Just a hint of nut skin on the finish. Very sexy wine."(93pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $200-260

21582 Griottes Chambertin - Vintage 1988Ponsotnl, sdc, ssos (Wines Located in New York)"This domaine's Griotte-Chambertin always shows superb ripeness, a huge, herb-tinged, explosive, berry-scented bouquet, lush, sensual flavors, medium to full body, and a heady, alcoholic finish. The 1988 looks as if it will drink beautifully young, but I would not be surprised to see it last 15 more years."(90pts)1 bottle per lot $450-600

While bottled at the same time, this has its act together today, from intense aromas of black raspberry, fresh raw meat, cedar, praline, and cinnamon, through a polished, refined, juicy, clear-fruited and sweetly marrowy palate, to its refined tannins and chalky, meaty, darkly-fruited finish. I'd revisit this in 5-7 years and anticipate considerable positive evolution thereafter."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

21600 Volnay - Vintage 2002Clos de la Bousse d'Or, Pousse d'Or(Wines Located in New York)"The 2002 Volnay Clos de la Bousse d Or displays a nose of meaty, waxy black cherries.

21601 Volnay - Vintage 2005Clos de la Bousse d'Or, Pousse d'Or(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Volnay Clos de la Bousse d'Or offers scents of plum, black raspberry, Asian spices, soy, noble fungus and wood smoke. In the mouth, it delivers tart (though ripe) black raspberry fruit with black truffle undertones and subtle spice and chalk, while managing to display a flattering creaminess. Fascinating fungal, fruit skin and mineral notes vie for attention in the finish. This strikes an ideal balance between flattering fat and underlying structure. Figure to cellar it for at least 12-15 years."(92pts)

Viscous, deep, and chewy, this muscular wine boasts immense concentration and length. Its thickly textured personality reveals blackberry jam, candied dark cherries, and a myriad spices. Its prolonged finish exhibits exquisitely ripe tannin. Though I've been in love with the 1990 for years, this 60 Ouvrees may well surpass it!

21604 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2000Hommage a Jacques Perrin, Château de Beaucastel(Wines Located in New York)"The 2000 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage À Jacques Perrin (60% Mourvedre, 20% Grenache, 10% Counoise, and 10% Syrah) was singing! Open, upfront, sexy and seamless, with awesome notes of saddle leather, Provencal herbs, barnyard, spice and licorice-soaked black cherry and sweet cassis, it hit the palate with full-bodied richness, no hard edges, and an unctuous, heavenly texture.

Above 3 half-bottles per lot $80-110

21615 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2009Niederhauser Hermannshohle, Gold Capsule, Donnhoff(Wines Located in New York)"Amazingly, yet more delicate and gossamer than the corresponding Brucke, Donnhoff's 2009 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule broadcasts musky perfume of peony and narcissus, which mingle in wafting profusion with a liqueur-like yet almost weightlessly buoyant concentration of peach, pear, and honeydew melon. Hints of caramel and white raisin point toward botrytis. Yet, in an analogy to the Brucke, cooling mint projects healthy, chlorophyll-rich ripeness. The deep, saline savor harbored by the Hermannshohle Spatlese returns here too, albeit in a more rarified context. This should serve for the better part of three decades' excitement."(94pts)2 half-bottles per lot $60-80

21616 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2003Norheimer Dellchen, Donnhoff1wisl, 1sos (Wines Located in New York)"Its immensely complex aromas reveals a plethora of fresh herbs, minerals, slate, and apples. On the palate, this wine reveals a depth of stupendous proportions. Powerful, yet refined, it has the ethereal qualities that mark this brilliant winemaker s best cuvées. Combining the vintage s sensual nature with exquisite precision and refinement, this gem displays crystalline minerals enrobed in red berries whose effects linger throughout its long, sublime finish. Wow!..."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $160-220

21617 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2009Oberhauser Brucke, Gold Capsule, Donnhoff(Wines Located in New York)"Overripe pear and peach are joined by suggestions of white truffle and a Jurancon-like suggestion of foie gras pate on the nose of Donnhoff's 2009 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule. Raspberry parfait, lime sorbet, and white peach nectar convey richness with refreshment on a near-weightless palate, with salt, stone, and truffle adding intrigue to a finish that displays a watercolor-like combination of transparency and indelibility. Anticipate at least 25 years of fascination from this beauty."(94pts)1 half-bottle per lot $240-320

21618 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2003Oberhauser Leistenberg, Donnhoff1lstl (Wines Located in New York)"Candied apples awash in fresh minerals can be found in the nose of the 2003 Riesling Auslese Oberhauser Leistenberg.

21619 Riesling Beerenauslese - Vintage 2006Niederhauser Hermannshohle, Gold Capsule, Donnhoff(Wines Located in New York)"With its creamy richness comes a remarkable, wafting sense of levity. Honey, pasted nuts and pit fruits, intensely-spiced tropical fruits, and deep, smoky, saline meat and mineral suggestions are accompanied by fluidity, elegance, and an irresistible savor. You can't ask much more from a nobly sweet Riesling than the complex mystery on exhibit."(99pts)2 half-bottles per lot $200-260

21625 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2004Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg, Donnhoff1nl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2004 Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Spatlese reminds one of the amazing potential inherent in this less-than-famous site. Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, flowers, key lime, and honey lead into a palate that is creamy, faintly oily, liqueur-like in its ultra ripe blue and black-fruited intensity, and compelling in its sheer purity and richness of fruit. The long finish incorporates a smoky, possibly site-typical pungency."(92pts)

Hard as nails and completely forbidding when it was first released, the 1996 has developed into a stellar wine. A host of orange peel, iron, rose petal, melted road tar, licorice and plum notes give the 1996 its layers of aromatic nuance.

Subtle overtones of roses and tar develop in the glass, rounding out this majestic wine. Monprivato is one of the world's very finest values in collectible, age-worthy wine, and the 2004 is another classic in the making."(96pts)4 bottles per lot $3200-4200

21651 Barbaresco - Vintage 2003Gaja(Wines Located in New York)"Gaja's 2003 Barbaresco may well challenge its bigger siblings as the most successful of these new releases. Made in a style that combines expressive aromatics, the ripeness of the vintage and classic structure, it is an awesome effort. Though it offers plenty of super-ripe fruit and notable concentration, it never comes across as being heavy and displays exceptional overall balance. Gaja's Barbaresco rarely shows this well so early in the game and my guess is that my score may end up being conservative. "Oddly enough it was our worst-exposed parcels that performed best in 2003, although I suppose that makes sense given that these plots were more protected from the sun. We did a very severe selection in the cellar and in 2003 we bottled a small amount of Barbaresco, roughly 30,000 bottles as compared to our normal amount of 70,000 bottles. We did a similarly stringent selection with our single-vineyard wines," adds Gaja. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021."(93pts)1 half-bottle per lot $50-75

Flowers, mint, minerals and juicy red berries are some of the many nuances that come to life in the 2001 Le Vigne. The wine gains volume and shape with time in the glass. Seemingly endless layers of fruit flesh out on the mid-palate and finish. Hints of leather, spices, licorice and flowers add further complexity on the close. This is a fabulous showing from Luciano Sandrone. Although Sandrone's Cannubi Boschis gets most of the attention, the reality is that in many vintages Le Vigne is very much its equal. The ability to blend fruit from several parcels, an approach rarely used today, has plenty of merits. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021."(96pts)

Juicy, firmly tannic and quite long, with miraculously little greenness for a mountain cabernet in '98. Very unevolved today. My bottle showed more thickness with extended aeration.

This wine shares some of the chocolatey characteristics of the two Merlot vintages, but there is more cassis liqueur, blackberries, blueberries, and pain grille (toast) notes in this lavishly rich, flamboyant proprietary red. The wine's flavors lingered for 42 seconds on the palate. Full-bodied, marvelously concentrated, and extremely well-balanced, this wine's acidity, tannin, and high alcohol are completely buried beneath the complex fruit and extract of this profound offering. I remember shaking my head in disbelief at the quality of these wines."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $450-600

21823 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001

(Wines Located in New York)"A potentially perfect wine, which is in bottle after having spent 30 or so months in a combination of old and new oak. The practice under Bob Foley is to first keep the wines in neutral wood as the selections are made for the different cuvées and then, once made, move the wines into new oak until bottling. The 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (a 1,300-case blend of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 27 months in oak) offers gorgeously fresh, lively, but super-concentrated fruit. Inky blue/purple to the rim, with a spectacular nose of creme de cassis, licorice, camphor, and a hint of vanilla, this wine is sensationally rich, has remarkable intensity, a multi-dimensional palate, and fabulous concentration and depth. It needs another 1-3 years of bottle-age, and should easily and effortlessly evolve for 20 or more years."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

The compelling 1997 Reserve Claret offers an opaque purple color in addition to a sumptuous bouquet of sweet blackberries, creme de cassis, and minerals, superb richness, exceptional concentration, and huge body. However, it manages to avoid being overbearing or unmanageable. Purity and delineation are also present in this multi-dimensional, prodigious wine.

21828 Pride Mountain Reserve Claret - Vintage 2004(Wines Located in New York)"A blend of 89% Sonoma and 11% Napa fruit, the 2004 Reserve Claret is composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. More coffee, toffee and caramelized red and black fruit aromas jump from the glass of this dense plum/purple-colored wine. It reveals a slightly lighter edge than the Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to full-bodied with beautiful fruit, it is more compact than the Cabernet, but is also a great example of Northern California viticulture. This full-bodied beauty will benefit from another 2-3 years of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for 15-20 years thereafter."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $240-320

The complex aromatics are followed by a beautifully poised, pure, medium to full-bodied Cabernet with silky tannins and a precocious, lush personality. It can be drunk now and over the next decade."(91pts)9 bottles per lot $260-350

21889 Pride Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2013(Wines Located in New York)"As for the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot), 72% of the fruit hails from the Napa side of the vineyard, and 28% from the Sonoma side. It was aged 20 months in 40% new French oak. This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from the top of Spring Mountain and probably their biggest cuvée at 5,728 cases. The wine has a terrific nose of blackberry, chocolate, licorice and cassis. Some toast is in the background, but clearly, the fruit is dominant in this full-bodied, voluptuously textured and opulent, dramatic, flamboyant Cabernet Sauvignon. Unlike most 2013s, it is open and delicious and shows no signs of closing down any time soon. Drink this hefty, fleshy wine over the next 15 or more years."(94pts)11 bottles per lot $400-550

"This has been an impressive, serious wine since the debut vintage, and Tim Mondavi's estate high on Pritchard Hill has fashioned a 2010 blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 11% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot. Gorgeously ripe, intricate and nuanced, with aromas of spring flowers and red and black fruits, a stunning texture, sweet tannin, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and undeniable elegance and finesse, this complex beauty cascades over the palate without a hard edge to be found. It is a tribute to Mondavi-s long resume of skillful winemaking. Black currants, blueberries and a touch of raspberries are all compelling and persistent.

The clonal material probably came from one of the DRC vineyards, so it is not surprising that. in this cool climate, with the great fruit purity California can achieve, there is a DRC-like resemblance."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $450-600

The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, good acidity, grippy in the mouth and substantial weight on the finish. If it can evolve more finesse on the finish, this will be a very satisfying Pomerol, so afford it another 3-4 years in bottle. Tasted March 2016."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400

The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, fine backbone, a pinch of cracked black pepper on the entry with a solid, slightly austere but focused finish that is resolutely classic in style. I appreciate the "Pomerol-ness" of this Clos l'Eglise. Drink now and over the next 6-8 years. Tasted March 2017."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $260-350

The palate is medium-bodied with honey, quince and a touch of bitter orange. While the nose does not quite live up to the previous bottle that I tasted, the 2005 could be considered to be the first vintage to relive the glories of yesteryear, before the vineyard fell into deprivation and flirted with extinction.

"This continues to be one of the most seductive and luscious d'Armailhacs I have ever tasted. It may be my favorite vintage of d'Armailhac. Opaque purple-colored, this blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot has surprisingly good acidity with the high Merlot content and high tannin, but an expressive, opulent mid-texture and loads of charcoal-infused, cedary, black currant fruit intermixed with spice box, dried herbs, and espresso notes.

The most impressive components are the exceptional richness and textured feel. An opaque dark garnet color is followed by aromas of sweet cedar, old wood, truffles, smoke, and underbrush. Big, thick, juicy, black currant, and cherry flavors can be found in this muscular, monster-sized, exceedingly tannic, dense, backward wine.

This wine came across younger than most 2001s and had twenty years to go,' according to one.

White peach, with lightly-toasted almond and hazelnut are wreathed in subtly fragrant flowers on the nose, and follow onto a palate of seductive creaminess combined with buoyancy and refreshment. This is quiet and subtle but impressively long on nut oils, liquid floral essences, and elusive mineral nuances, and is more refined if for now less engaging than the corresponding Poruzots.

22124 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001

(Wines Located in New York)"The spectacular 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve came in at 14.2% natural alcohol. The good news is that winemaker Ed Sbragia produced 10,000 cases of this beauty. Just hitting late adolescence, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon cuvée exhibits an opaque dark purple color along with a beautiful, smoky, sweet black currant, licorice, truffle, toast and underbrush-scented nose. With fabulous concentration, great intensity and tremendous purity, this voluptuously textured, full-bodied classic is one of the all-time great Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignons. While drinkable now, it will continue to evolve for at least another 20 years. Of all the superb Private Reserve vintages, the 2001 ranks alongside the 1991, 1994, 1995, 1997, 2005 and 2007. The performances of the two other Cabernet Sauvignons were surprising since I tend to think of these wines as needing to be drunk early in life. The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Knight's Valley and 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa are both outstanding efforts. Furthermore, they prove that you don't have to pay a premium price to get a top-notch wine from this large winery."(97pts)1 magnum per lot $170-220

A sweet nose of black fruits, flowers, melted licorice, and espresso roast precedes a

Complex notes of burning embers, charcoal, red and black fruits, subtle oak, licorice and cedarwood soar from the glass of this

highly perfumed, stunning wine. It has everything going for it, including a flawless, seamless style, remarkable balance, stunning concentration and a finish that lasts nearly a minute.

22240 Château Gruaud Larose - Vintage 1986St. Julienvlscl (Wines Located in New York)"Still tasting as if it were only 7-8 years of age, the dense, garnet/purple-colored 1986 Gruaud-Larose is evolving at a glacier pace. The wine still has mammoth structure, tremendous reserves of fruit and concentration, and a finish that lasts close to a minute. The wine is massive, very impressively constituted, with still some mouth-searing tannin to shed. Decanting of one to two hours in advance seems to soften it a bit, but this is a wine that seems to be almost immortal in terms of its longevity. It is a great Medoc classic, and certainly one of the most magnificent Gruaud-Larose

Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully rich and decadently seductive in its generosity of fruit and velvety texture, offering seamless freshness and finishing with epic length and compelling minerality. Oh so delicious right now, with careful cellaring it should continue to excite through 2045 and beyond."(99pts)1 magnum per lot $800-1100

22252 Pommard - Vintage 2005Les Jarollieres, Pousse d'Or(Wines Located in New York)"By contrast, here the intense, elegant, airy and almost startlingly fresh red berry fruit nose is expressive to the point of exuberance as the nose explodes from the glass with a flourish to reveal delicious, rich and full yet beautifully delineated and ultra pure flavors that are focused, linear and penetrating on the distinctly mineral-infused finish. This is a really lovely and sophisticated Pommard that bears more than a passing resemblance to its 'across the border' Volnay neighbor Fr miets."(91-3pts BH)6 bottles per lot $350-480

22253 Meursault - Vintage 2006Genevrieres, Bouchard, Pere et Fils(Wines Located in New York)"A very deftly wooded nose, where it's clear that the oak treatment will be rapidly integrated, sets off pure, expressive and equally exotic fruit aromas that are even spicier while serving as a dramatic introduction for the detailed, focused and almost painfully intense flavors that possess a tangy and driving finish that does a slow build from the mid-palate on back. A classic Genevrières that should age beautifully."(93pts BH)4 bottles per lot $200-280

Butter, smoke, spices, apricots, orange blossoms, almonds, hazelnuts, and nectarines all burst from the glass. This is a decidedly extroverted, plush Chardonnay with tons of Russian River character. It has a bit more oiliness and fat than the Ritchie, and is also just as beautiful. A wine of pure richness and glycerin, the vinous, textured Eastside Vineyard will drink well right out of the gate. Vintage 2011 is the first release of the Eastside Vineyard, which previously went into the Russian River bottling. Vineyard guru Ulises Valdez planted this site with Montrachet clones.

22299 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1986Pauillacvhs, vlbsl (Wines Located in New York)"It was drinking spectacularly, to be frank, and was in that just right, wine sweet spot that can last for many years, longer than the average American marriage, that s for sure. There was great cedar, t n a and a long, beefy Szechuan style about its aromas. Long and smooth with cedar and mineral flavors, its palate was also great."(95+pts JK)1 bottle per lot $160-220

22300 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1989Pauillacvlbsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but what a great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching the 1989's extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential. Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle smoke, oak and graphite. Powerful and rich with some tannins still to shed at age 22.."(99+pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

22302 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1996Pauillacvlbsl, vlscl (Wines Located in New York)"...with all the vintages of the nineties represented, this wine stood out for its absolute purity of Crème de cassis, ripe fruit, medium to full body, high tannin, wonderful sweetness, massive richness on the mid-palate, and abundant power, density, and ripeness. It is clearly the finest Lynch-Bages since the 1989 and 1990."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

22303 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 2000Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Beginning to open magnificently, the still dense purple-colored 2000 reveals a blossoming bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the all-time great examples of Lynch Bages, the 2000 is

just beginning to drink well yet promises to last for another 20-25+ years."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

22307 Richebourg - Vintage 2002Hudelot-Noellat(Wines Located in New York)"Brooding, reticent and completely backward, revealing only reluctant notes of crushed black cherries, ripe earth and a deft touch of wood spice followed by unctuously rich, robust, muscular flavors that display outstanding density and first rate balance. This intensity builds from the mid-palate and finally explodes on the finish with absolutely perfect acid/fruit balance and the phenomenal length just doesn't quit."(92-5pts BH)1 bottle per lot $600-800

22308 Richebourg - Vintage 1996J. Grivot(Wines Located in New York)"It offers a gorgeously bright medium-to-dark ruby color and extraordinary fragrances of super-ripe plums, cherries, and morel mushrooms. This brooding, powerful, full-bodied, mouth-coating, and refined block-buster is crammed with awesomely sweet black raspberries, cherries, candied strawberries, cassis, stones, and raw meat flavors that last throughout its unending finish.

22311 Montrachet - Vintage 1999Bouchard, Pere et Fils(Wines Located in New York)"This closely resembles the Cabotte on the nose with perhaps a touch more oak in evidence followed by intense, powerful, brooding, thick, fantastically intense flavors that are presently revealing little of their ultimate potential. This is wonderfully textured and between the ripe acidity and incredible intensity, it stains the palate so completely that I could taste this 3 hours later. A flat out wonderful Monty that should last two decades with the proper cellaring 2009-18."(95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $320-450

22316 Batard Montrachet - Vintage 1999Sauzetvlscl (Wines Located in New York)"The opulent, strikingly perfumed nose explodes from the glass, in fact this is so showy that it's almost ostentatious yet nothing is out of balance. Lemon-lime aromas and a whiff of new oak lead to muscular flavors of solid breed and better definition than is typical for B tard or for that matter, any wine of this magnitude. For all its size and power, it remains symmetrical and solidly balanced by the ripe supporting acidity and the length is absolutely show stopping."(94pts BH)1 bottle per lot $220-280

22317 Batard Montrachet - Vintage 2002V. Girardin

vlscl (Wines Located in New York)"It was difficult to decipher the 2002 Batard-Montrachet's nose, as the sample I tasted was slightly reduced. (This will easily dissipate with its pre-bottling racking). On the palate, however, there is no mistaking this exceptional wine's quality. Armed with massive power, huge depth, concentration, purity, and length, this medium-bodied, muscular wine coats the taster's palate with thick, rich layers of candied, sappy minerals. Pears, apples, spices, and ginger can be found throughout its boldly flavored, impressively long finish. Drink it between 2007 and 2015."(94-96pts)1 bottle per lot $140-180

22318 Montrachet - Vintage 1999V. Girardin(Wines Located in New York)"Complex nose combines nut oils, fresh herbs and roasted oak tones.

Very long, slow-mounting finish displays noteworthy purity and finesse. A superb showing."(94pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $180-240

Prumvlbsl, vlwisl, lscl (Wines Located in New York)"The nose exhibits a degree of botrytis ennoblement honey, hints of white raisin, and apple jelly as well as an oily-rich texture typical of Beerenauslese. But this too draws on a reservoir of bright, juicy, fresh fruit. Mango, pineapple, caramelized apple, apricot preserve, vanilla, white raisin, warm honey, and brown spice all contribute to the abundant richness on display here, yet there are fine notes of flowers and mineral salts and a lovely sense of lift despite such far-gone ripeness, botrytis, and sheer density as this likely 50-year wine displays."(95-96pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

It had a great nose of pencil, nut, carob, musk and good' barn, you know, when you're in there with the farmer's daughter lol. The palate was creamy, clean, long and balanced.

22345 Chambolle Musigny - Vintage 1998Les Amoureuses, Comte de Voguessos (Wines Located in New York)"Good deep red. Perfumed aromas of stony raspberry and red licorice. Very densely packed; has an aspect of austerity but also enticing sweetness of fruit and lovely inner-mouth perfume. Superbly structured for long life.

The tannins are finer than those of the village wine."(92pts IWC)4 bottles per lot $800-1100

22347 Chambolle Musigny - Vintage 1998Premier Cru, Comte de Vogue1lstl (Wines Located in New York)"Yet another step up, especially since this contains all the young vine Musigny fruit of less than 20 years of age. Very ripe, elegant Chambolle red raspberry fruit yet this is clearly more reserved, bigger and more tannic than the straight 98 Chambolle and even more persistent on the long finish that lasts and lasts.

I gave a perfect 100 points to the 2010 edition of this same wine. This expression, made two years later, continues in that tradition of excellence. The quality of fruit is profound and intense.

22383 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1995Graveslscl (Wines Located in New York)"This wine has been brilliant on every occasion I have tasted it. More accessible and forward than the 1996, it possesses a saturated ruby/purple color, as well as a beautiful, knock-out set of aromatics, consisting of black fruits, vanillin, spice, and wood-fire smoke. Multidimensional and rich, with layers of ripe fruit, and beautifully integrated tannin and acidity, this medium to full-bodied wine is a graceful, seamless, exceptional Haut-Brion that should drink surprisingly well young."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $400-550

I was wrong, it deserved the place of honor. Monstrous amounts of spices imbued with blackberries are found in its powerful aromatics. It is full-bodied, revealing a massive breadth, a liqueur of syrupy cassis and blackberries that linger seemingly forever in the mouth. Its broad shoulders, perfect

Vivid black cherry and bittersweet floral notes in the nose and a burst of fresh ripe fruit with chalky, salty accents make for one of the more mouth watering experiences possible with Pinot.

(Ironically, as has long been done in Burgundy with admirable results even back when it was technically illegal the must had been lightly chaptalized in the course of fermentation with the aim of extending it. In the event, the finished wine is still barely 13% alcohol.) Scents of lemon, lime, and more exotic citrus mingle with musk, white truffle, lightly toasted hazelnut and

intimations of ocean breeze in an arrestingly diverse and intriguing aromatic display. The maritime and citrus allusions are realized in spades on this wine's dense, lush palate, with pungent citrus oils and piquancy of pips spiking an amalgam of oyster liqueur and lemon juice, leading to a finish of nearly eye-watering and certainly salivary gland-milking intensity brine, chalk, iodine, and myriad ineffable mineral elements leaving a near-indelible impression.

22554 Château Montrose - Vintage 1989St. Estephenl (Wines Located in New York)"For many years I have vehemently argued that the 1989 Montrose is a benchmark wine for the estate. Having tasted it several times over the last couple of months, I have never found a single occasion to alter that view. Tasted at the vertical in London, it continues to shine, having never lost any of its luster in recent years. It is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc that was picked from 11 to 28 September. Lucid in color, the aromatics do not hold back with vibrant blackberry, blueberry and black truffle, hints of sous-bois, all with sensational precision that few can match in this vintage (indeed, its precision lends it a veneer of modernity since "precision" is now more commonplace across Bordeaux). The palate is brilliantly balanced with filigree tannin. There is wonderful backbone here, extremely fresh and tensile, crystalline even with an exceptional detail, mineral-rich finish that lingers in the mouth. Difficult to fault, this might well be the greatest 1989 Montrose that I have tasted, and certainly wishing to take nothing away from the 1990 Montrose that I tasted alongside, the 1989 is now the one I would pick. Is this the greatest Saint

"The recently released 2007 Syrah Labels (89% Syrah, 7% Grenache, and 4% Viognier) comes from the 11 Confessions Estate Vineyard (57%), a small amount from the home estate vineyard in Oak View called Cumulus, and the rest from purchased fruit grown in the White Hawk Vineyard in Los Alamos and the Bien Nacido Vineyard in Santa Maria. A sensational effort, it is performing even better out of bottle than it did from barrel. An opaque purple color is accompanied by beautiful notes of charcoal, acacia flowers, blueberries, blackberries, graphite, and subtle smoke. With great fruit, tremendous texture, and full-bodied power, it is locked and loaded. This cuvée should provide great drinking in addition to some provocative discussions over the next 10-15 years."(98+pts)3 bottles per lot $900-1200

10lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Dalla Valle's 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a worthy successor to the blockbuster 1990 and 1991. Huge, sweet aromas of black fruits, spices, and oak are followed by a wine with great fruit extraction, full body, layers of richness, and that multidimensional, layered feel that this producer routinely obtains. The flattering personality of the 1992 has resulted in a more unctuous and voluptuous wine than even the 1991 or 1990. Moreover, it will have 15+ years of aging potential."(95pts)10 bottles per lot $750-1000

22587 Etude Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1993(Wines Located in New York)"With a stunning black/purple color and intense, pure fragrance of black fruits and subtle new oak, this medium to full-bodied, multi-layered wine combines California's lavishly rich, intense fruit with an underlying sense of elegance and style, a la a top-notch Château Margaux. The finish builds in the mouth, and the overall sense is one of exceptional richness, balance, and purity."(92pts)6 bottles per lot $180-240

The wine is full-bodied, with low acidity, nicely integrated wood, and high tannin."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $240-320

22594 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 1994Insignia(Wines Located in New York)"The 1994 boasts an inky/purple color along with a glorious nose of black raspberries, blackberries and black currants that is still somewhat primary despite nearly 18 years in bottle. The Phelps team kept this cuvée in 100% new French oak for 28 months. Its magnificent structure, intensity and purity of fruit, ripeness, balance combined with authoritative power and the magnetic appeal of this full-bodied, Bordeaux-styled wine are extraordinary. This amazing effort is just coming into its best years, and should drink well for at least another 15-20 years."(98pts)5 bottles per lot $1000-1300

22599 Peter Michael Red - Vintage 1992Les Pavots(Wines Located in New York)"...is the first vintage that has begun to exhibit some complex cedar, lead pencil, and cassis aromas. Medium to full-bodied, with impressive richness, It is a wine that will last for at least 20+ years. The blend for Peter Michael's Les Pavots proprietary red wine varies year to year, but the composition usually includes at least 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5%-15% Merlot, and 5%-

15% Cabernet Franc. Sixty percent new French oak casks are utilized. The result is a wine that comes as close as any other California Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine to resembling a structured, rich, complex St.-Julien/Pauillac."(91pts)4 bottles per lot $400-600

22600 Peter Michael Red - Vintage 1994Les Pavots1nl (Wines Located in New York)"Since its bottling, this deep, saturated purple-colored wine has taken on a gorgeous nose of cassis intermixed with violets, licorice, and attractive spicy oak. Sweet, rich, and surprisingly showy for a Les Pavots, this medium to full-bodied wine possesses a luscious, multi-layered texture, outstanding depth, and attractively integrated tannin and acidity."(94pts)8 bottles per lot $1000-1400

22601 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 19935gsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)"... is one of the richest, most complex Cabernets made in California. Every time I have the opportunity to go back and taste an older vintage I am impressed with the complex aromatics the wine develops. How reassuring it is to see these Cabernets become even more impressive with bottle age."(92pts)5 bottles per lot $350-500

22602 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 19943tl (Wines Located in New York)"...offers an opaque black/purple color (it resembles vintage port more than Cabernet Sauvignon). A huge nose of cassis, licorice, tobacco, and smoky oak is followed by a wine with awesome flavor concentration, wonderful sweetness and ripeness, brilliant balance, and fine integrated tannin and acidity. The wine's finish must last 40-50 seconds."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

Full-bodied, opulent, and succulent, this creamy-textured, luscious, low acid wine"(92pts)6 bottles per lot $350-480

22605 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1993Alexander Valley6lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"In my October tasting both 1993 Cabernets were more tannic and closed than the 1992s. The 1993 Cabernet

Sauvignon Alexander Valley offers up a whiff of herbs in its tight nose, followed by chocolatey, spicy, black-cherry, and cassis flavors, an exotic, medium to full-bodied, concentrated palate, and moderate tannin in the lusty finish. It does not possess the definition and structure of the Napa cuvée, but it is more forward and fleshy. These All-American Cabernet Sauvignons continue to be "can't miss" propositions with the majority of Cabernet lovers."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

22610 Beringer Merlot - Vintage 1992Bancroft Ranch1lbsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)"Beringer's 1992 Bancroft Ranch Merlot ranks with the finest Matanzas Creek and Newton Merlots. It is a large-scaled, rich, ostentatiously-styled, chocolatey-flavored, full-bodied Merlot with deep color saturation, plenty of gutsy, chewy fruit, full body, and excellent purity and balance. Once again Beringer has shown that international corporate ownership can be synonymous with reference point wines. While it can be drunk now, this Merlot promises to be even better with 2-4 years of cellaring; it should last for 10-15 years. Tel. (707) 963-4812"(94pts)3 bottles per lot $150-200

(Wines Located in New York)"... rivals the extraordinary 1994 Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel produced by Turley Cellars. Martinelli's Zinfandel is amazingly rich and unctuous, with huge flavor concentration, and a blockbuster finish that must be tasted to be believed. If Château Rayas could make an even more concentrated wine than they did in 1990, it might resemble what Martinelli has accomplished in 1994 with these two exquisite Zinfandels."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $170-220

22614 Matanzas Creek Merlot - Vintage 19921nl (Wines Located in New York)"This may well be the finest Merlot made in the New World. The color is a dark saturated ruby/purple. While the nose is more closed than when I tasted the barrel sample, it offers huge, rich scents of black-cherries, cassis, and vanillin. Full-bodied, with exceptional concentration and depth, this fabulously rich Merlot should last for 12-15 years. A winemaking tour de force!..."(95pts6 bottles per lot $180-240

22615 Volnay - Vintage 2005Clos du Château des Ducs, M. Lafarge(Wines Located in New York)"This is coming along quite well though interesting the gentle touch of wood this displayed upon release is still present on the ripe yet cool and pure red berry liqueur-suffused nose that is displaying only a hint of secondary development. The intense minerality this wine consistently reveals is very much in evidence and it continues onto the vibrant, refined, pure and beautifully detailed flavors that are underpinned by a velvety mouth feel, firm tannins and an explosive finish."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $200-260
