3302 Château La Mondotte - Vintage 1997St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"The 1997 La Mondotte is undoubtedly the wine of the vintage from Bordeaux's right bank (St.-Emilion and Pomerol), as well as a candidate for the wine of 1997. Much like its 1996 counterpart, the 1997 is the most concentrated wine I tasted. On the two occasions I had it, I was blown away by its quality. From its saturated opaque black/purple color, to its extraordinarily intense jammy blackberry/cassis liqueur-scented nose, this is a fabulous claret. Expansive and full-bodied, with exhilarating levels of extract, an opulent, unctuously-textured feel, extremely low acidity, and a 40+ second finish, this is a prodigious effort. While not quite as well-defined as the 1996, and perhaps slightly less concentrated (I'm splitting hairs here), this medium to full-bodied, showy, unbelievably dense and rich wine is another tour de force in winemaking. Projected maturity: now-2014."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $200-240

3307 Château Le Gay - Vintage 1982Pomerol4bn, 2lgsl (Wines Located in New York)"...offers a dark ruby/garnet color with only a hint of amber at the edge. The pungent, earthy, spicy, green pepper and sweet jammy fruit aromas are intense, but controversial. Still broodingly backward and dense, this full-bodied wine has mouth-searing tannin, as well as impressive length. However, the damp, musty aromas of some bottles are off-putting."(92pts)4 bottles per lot $1000-1400

3312 Château Pavie - Vintage 2003St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"Its dense plum/purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary perfume of charcoal, Crème de cassis, melted licorice, espresso roast, and blackberries.

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)6 bottles per lot $1100-1500

3464 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994

(Wines Located in New York)"It is another profound Cabernet from the exceptional 1994 vintage. The wine's opaque purple color and huge, massive richness do not come across as heavy, despite the wine's extraordinary intensity and thickness. There is enough acidity for freshness, and plenty of sweet, well-integrated tannin. This large-scaled, magnificently-endowed Cabernet Sauvignon needs 5-6 years of cellaring, but it should keep for 25+ years."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

As it sits in the glass, this full-bodied, dense 2001 offers up notes of pepper, smoke, and balsam wood.

This is a west side valley floor vineyard with a foundation of alluvial river pebbles and rocks as well as gravelly loam. The Schraders have a long-term lease on 5 acres, which, added to their 16 acres of Beckstoffer To Kalon and 5 acres of Beckstoffer George III, gives them some pretty serious leases on some of the finest terroirs in Napa Valley. The softest wine of this portfolio, there are 350 cases of the 2011 LPV, far less than the 600 cases produced in 2012. Given its warm micro-climated, these grapes were picked before the rains descended. The wine exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, supple tannins, and sweet red and black currants, licorice, Christmas fruitcake, incense and forest floor. This beautiful, medium-bodied 2011 is already complex and evolved."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $320-500

A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, aged 75% in small oak casks and 25% in tank, an awesome nose of creme de cassis, graphite, kirsch, licorice, and vanilla soars from the glass of this saturated ruby/purple-colored wine. With extravagant richness, a sumptuous texture, and tremendous opulence as well as purity, this stunning, modern-styled Châteauneuf du Pape retains the soul and typicity of Provence as well as Châteauneuf du Pape. One of the vintage's greatest wines, it is a brilliant achievement.(96pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

Amazingly opulent, even voluptuous, with extraordinary purity, a huge tactile impression on the palate, but not heavy by any means, this is a stunning Ch teauneuf-du-Pape from ancient vines made with 95% Grenache and the rest Cinsault and Syrah. Production is about 8,000 bottles, and the wine is

bottled after spending its entire life in epoxy-lined tanks, so what one gets is the essence of the three separate terroirs it comes from Les Serres, Guigasse, and La Crau."(97pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

This will require every bit of a decade to resolve the very firm structure.

On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still very young (this too was late finishing up its malo and shows still a touch of gas on the backend), with a very soil-driven personality, ripe tannins and excellent length and grip on the youthful and very promising finish."(95pts JG)2 bottles per lot $600-800

Romeostl, wc, 1x1 double magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"...La Cueva del Contador, a 100% Tempranillo bottled unfiltered after spending time in French oak. Dense ruby/purple-hued, with a fragrant bouquet of roasted espresso, melted chocolate, scorched earth, and dense black currant and cherry fruit, it is reminiscent of some of the great efforts from Peter Sisseck s Pingus. Opulent and full-bodied with an unctuous texture, sweet tannin, and low acidity, this beauty is clearly made in the more modern style of Rioja winemaking."(94pts)1 double magnum per lot $240-320

7294 Château Branaire Ducru - Vintage 1975St. Julien3ts, 3hstl, 1scc, Nicolas botteling, excellent color (Wines Located in New York)"Branaire-Ducru has consistently been one of the finest 1975s. I have come to the conclusion that it will never resolve all of the tannin, but the wine has such a large-scaled, muscular, rich, concentrated personality that the tannin level is acceptable. There is plenty of cedar, sweet cassis fruit, vanilla, and lead pencil notes to this powerful Branaire-Ducru. The wine's deep ruby color displays some amber at the edge.

Serious tannin can be detected in this huge, fleshy wine, so look for this wine to take on more definition after 3-4 years of cellaring. It should age well for two decades.

8796 Château Lagrange - Vintage 1990St. Julien2nl (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.

The wine is light medium gold-colored, with a blockbuster nose of Grand Marnier liqueur intertwined with flower blossoms, smoky new oak, and coconut. Well-integrated wood has resulted in a seamless, full-bodied, unctuously-textured wine with considerable sweetness. This is a stunningly proportioned, beautifully pure wine."(91pts)24 half-bottles per lot $600-800

8810 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2001Charvin(Wines Located in New York)"One of the most Burgundian-styled wines of the appellation is Charvin s Châteauneuf du Pape, made in a style not dissimilar from the classic vintages of its nearby neighbor, Rayas. The deep ruby-colored 2001 Châteauneuf du Pape reveals a gorgeously scented nose of kirsch liqueur, plums, and figs. It boasts an expansive, full-bodied palate, great purity, a sensual, silky texture, and a long, flowing finish with raspberries, cherries, licorice, and a hint of roasted Provencal herbs.

I remember first tasting it from a large tank as it was still fermenting and it was already impressive! It is a full-bodied, powerful wine that must tip the scales at close to 15.5% natural alcohol. I don't think this big, chewy, voluptuously textured wine will ever close down. Dark plum/garnet with the classic Provencal display of garrigue, lavender, pepper, kirsch and Asian plum sauce, this full-throttle wine has splendid concentration, silky tannins, and a very voluptuous texture."(98pts)12 bottles per lot $900-1200

The wine possesses layered richness, remarkable balance, sweet, pure fruit, and a finish that lasts for nearly 30 seconds. These wines are aged in 100% new oak, and tend to possesses at least 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Cabernet Franc. Amazingly, the oak is not a pronounced component in the final wine, a testament to excellent winemaking and the concentration these wines possess.

There is excellent delineation to the medium-bodied flavors that also possess remarkably fine-grained tannins that add to the sense of refinement on the seductive but vibrant finish. I very much like this as it seamlessly combines the spiciness of Vosne with the sleek muscularity of the northern part of Nuits though in contrast to the 2013 version I would describe this moderately robust effort as being more Nuits than Vosne."(92pts BH)3 bottles per lot $350-500

There is a really lovely sense of underlying tension on the clean and pure finish that delivers strikingly good length.

A pretty, soft, understated wine, the 2010 also has a hint of wildness running through it. At present, the 2010 is a bit compact, but I very much like the sense of grace here. Sweet floral notes reappear on the finish, adding a burst of freshness and vivacity to a finish underpinned by lovely streaks of saline minerality. In 2010 yields were too low for Kistler to bottle the cuvée Elizabeth Pinot. The little fruit that came in was blended into the Kistler Vineyard Pinot. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020."(93pts)

There are those who argue that the B tard is Niellon's best wine but for my taste, in most vintages it is the Chevalier that impresses me the most.

The perfect cuvée Centenaire is still dense ruby/purple-colored with a sumptuous nose of white flowers, raspberry and cherry liqueur, smoke, and mineral scents.

On the palate this is dense, powerful and quite serious with brooding flavors that brim with dry extract that buffers the firm acid spine on the intensely mineral-driven and explosively long finish.

Already gorgeous, it promises to evolve gracefully for two decades or more. The color is a healthy saturated dark purple. The spicy nose offers aromas of black currants, allspice, pain grille, and soy, with scents of a burning wood fire thrown in for additional complexity."(96pts)

The 2002 was much more wound with divine minerals rippling through the nose. Smoky and lightly toasty, the wine had pineapply fruit slowly emerge with pinches of anise and rainwater. Elaine called out 'apples' clearly and correctly. It was my kind of nose, more about the earth than the fruit. The palate was flat out fantastic, long with great acidity and a spicy, spiny finish. The wine was rich and loaded with lots of yellow fruit bullets, dried yet somehow ripe. Streaky in a good and intense way, the 2002 stayed spectacular on the palate, and the acidity kept exerting itself like a boa constrictor trying to suffocate my nostrils. I saw the Montrachet here, as this vineyard sits right on the border of Montrachet and

As good as the other grands crus are, there is simply another dimension here and while I don't think this will be one of the longest-lived vintages of this much storied wine, it should provide much pleasure in its inimitable way.

I have come to the conclusion that it will never resolve all of the tannin, but the wine has such a large-scaled, muscular, rich, concentrated personality that the tannin level is acceptable. There is plenty of cedar, sweet cassis fruit, vanilla, and lead pencil notes to this powerful Branaire-Ducru. The wine's deep ruby color displays some amber at the edge.

It is sweet and full-bodied, yet unbelievably rich with no sense of heaviness or flabbiness.

It offers a ripe, voluptuous style in its ground pepper, smoked meats, peat and sweet dark fruits. These give way to a full-bodied Syrah that has solid concentration and good tannin. The Viognier here normally gives this cuvée some early charm, but it should evolve gracefully as well."(94-97pts)3 bottles per lot $240-320

The 1997's nose was rather unyielding on my visit to the firm's Château Grancey (in Aloxe-Corton) cellars. With aeration, it revealed huge ripeness in its poached white fruit and hazelnut aromatics. On the palate, it is broad, creamy, luscious, and hedonistic. This medium-to-full-bodied Corton's flavor profile is composed of sweet pears, candied/spiced apples, sugar-coated nuts, and hints of new oak. Moreover, it possesses a long, dense, and flavorful finish. Projected maturity: 2000-2007. Louis Latour is represented by a different importer in each state."(91-93pts)3 bottles per lot $180-240

This sumptuous wine offers beautiful melted chocolate, cocoa, and espresso notes intermixed with black cherry, plum, fig, and blackberry fruit.

9666 Harlan Estate Red - Vintage 20071x1 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Dense plum/purple-colored with sweet aromas of barbecue smoke, blueberries, blackberries, cassis, licorice, hot rocks and subtle oak, it is a splendidly opulent, pure wine with a skyscraper-like texture as well as stunningly deep fruit that expands gracefully across the palate. The finish lasts nearly a full minute.

This powerful, rich, densely concentrated wine remains young, fresh, and vigorous, with a full decade of life ahead. It continues to exhibit a dark garnet color with some amber, a wonderfully fragrant quality (plus, minerals, tar, cedar, soy sauce, and licorice), a viscous texture, sensation depth of fruit, and a fabulous, albeit alcoholic finish.

9668 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1990Graves(Wines Located in New York)"1990: In terms of the brilliant complexity and nobility of the aromatics, scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices, the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled. It is always fascinating to taste this wine next to the 1989, which is a monumental effort, but much more backward and denser, without the aromatic complexity of the 1990. The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion's standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top vintage."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

9669 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1990Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment. While it still possesses some firmness, and performs like a late adolescent in terms of its evolution, it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine that should hit its peak in 5-8 years, and last for 25-30 more."(96pts)

9674 Château Cheval Blanc - Vintage 1982St. Emilionbn, lbsl, nc (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 $600-800

St. Julienhs, nl, sdc, good to excellent color (Wines Located in New York)"This wine has been fully mature and delicious for many years, so I was not surprised by how stunning this bottle was. It has always been an outstanding wine for the vintage - complex, rich, savory, and the quintessentially elegant Bordeaux. This beauty continues to reveal the fragrance and finesse that one expects from Lafite-Rothschild but so rarely finds. A fragrant, complex bouquet of cedar, herbs, vanillin, fruitcake, and coffee is followed by a soft, gentle, graciously-constructed wine with sweet layers of fruit"(92pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

9677 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1982Graveslstl (Wines Located in New York)"Flamboyant aromas of smoked meat, leather, truffle and burnished oak. Intensely flavored and penetrating, with strong acids giving the flavors terrific cut and grip. My second bottle showed even more extravagantly expressive aromas of hot stones, tobacco, minerals and marzipan; a denser, silkier palate impression, with more obvious roasted Graves character; and an uncanny combination of sheer sweetness with structure and grip."(96pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $550-750

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. This was young and fresh for 1970, and it reminded me that drinking Bordeaux is always best when it's older."(95pts JK)

It has been at its peak for nearly 15 years, yet it shows no signs of losing its fruit and drying out. The color is a dark garnet with orange/amber at the edge. The profound bouquet has the magnetic allure that leaves great Bordeaux unmatched for complexity. Sweet notes of dried fruits, herbs, tobacco, smoke, and roasted meats are followed by an opulently-textured, thick, nearly viscous wine with high glycerin, ripe, jammy fruit, and an intoxicating combination of glycerin, extract, and suppleness. The wine holds in the glass without cracking up, and has a good 40-45 second finish."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

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)2 bottles per lot $700-900

9839 Château Bellevue Mondotte - Vintage 2005St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"...boasts an extraordinary perfume of graphite, blackberries, cassis, and sweet kirsch intermixed with notes of incense, spice box, licorice, and subtle wood. Stunningly rich with full body, zesty acidity, and high but velvety tannins, the final blend is composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

9840 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 2003St. Estephe(Wines Located in New York)"...an inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by a compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, pain grille, incense, and flowers.

9841 Château Pavie Macquin - Vintage 2005St. Emilionnl (Wines Located in New York)"A black/purple color is accompanied by aromas of charcoal, burning embers, crushed rocks, sweet, pure,

blueberries and blackberries, chocolaty creme de cassis, and licorice. It possesses massive concentration, phenomenal levels of tannin, and good acidity, but it is even more backward than either Pavie or Pavie Decesse. A modern day elixir that should prove to be monumental in 15-20 years, it will last for 40+ years."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

9842 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Chante Le Merle, Vieilles Vignes, Bosquet des Papes(Wines Located in New York)The 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape Chante Le Merle Vieilles Vignes comes from extremely old vines (90-100 years of age), includes 100% whole clusters, and was aged in both neutral foudres and demi-muids. Exhibiting the deepest color as well as the greatest concentration of this quartet, it appears to be the finest example of this cuvée since the prodigious 1990. Terrific notes of licorice, incense, seaweed wrappers, black raspberries, blackberries, and cherries are present in the incredibly complex aromatic display. Deep and full-bodied with lots of roasted herb and meat juice-like characteristics, this big, extravagantly rich, full-bodied wine possesses silky tannins as well as a finish that lasts nearly 50 seconds.(95pts)1 bottle per lot $40-55

9843 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Charvinlscl (Wines Located in New York)"...is the finest wine ever made at Charvin. Their wines never achieve a lot of color, but this is one of the most saturated ones they have produced. The blend from the 45- to 50-year-old vines is 85% Grenache and the rest equal parts Syrah, Mourvedre, and Vaccarese, all aged in cement tanks prior to being bottled unfiltered. A terrific nose of kirsch, lavender, licorice, forest floor, and spice box soars from the glass of this full-bodied effort."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $55-80

9844 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2005Château de Beaucastel8lscl (Wines Located in New York)"...has very high tannins, seems totally closed aromatically, but in the mouth is a weighty wine exhibiting a dense ruby/purple color and tight aromatics consisting of new saddle leather, porcini, meat juices, licorice, tar, and black fruits. The wine is full-bodied, powerful, very tannic, and structured in a dramatically masculine, ageworthy style. This is one for the younger generation or those with considerable patience."(94+pts)8 bottles per lot $480-600

9850 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 2005La Landonne, E. Guigal2nl, 1sdc (Wines Located in New York)"...exhibits a similar scorched earth/burning ember and bacon fat-scented nose as well as copious quantities of black fruits, truffles, and forest floor. Incredibly dense and masculine with unreal levels of concentration, and beautifully integrated tannin, acidity, and oak, this remarkable 2005 may turn out to be the longest-lived La Landonne since the debut vintage of 1978 (which is still going strong). Cellar this cuvée for 5-6 years, and consume it over the following 35+ years."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $650-900

9851 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 2005La Mouline, E. Guigal4nl (Wines Located in New York)"...offers a stunning perfume of espresso roast, licorice, pepper, blackberries, and black cherries intermixed with hints of chocolate and spring flowers. Powerful, super-concentrated, and ruggedly-constructed with a boatload of tannin, this is a wine to forget for 4-5 years, and drink over the following 25-30. It is the densest, most tannic vintage of La Mouline since 1988."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

9852 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Barbe Rac, M. Chapoutierlscl (Wines Located in New York)"...boasts a dense purple color along with a sumptuous nose of black raspberries, black currants, incense, camphor, licorice, and garrigue.

9853 Ermitage - Vintage 2005Le Meal, M. Chapoutierlscl (Wines Located in New York)"There are 481 cases of the black/purple 2005 Ermitage Le Meal. As always, classic blackberry, asphalt, charcoal, and beef blood notes jump from the glass of this intense wine. Full-bodied, with staggering concentration and a personality not terribly dissimilar from a first-growth Pauillac, but showing no evidence of oak whatsoever (and that is in spite of being aged in 100% new oak casks), this wine needs 10-12 years of bottle age, and should keep for 50-100 years."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

9856 Ornellaia - Vintage 2006Tenuta dell' Ornellaia9scl, 2lstl, 1wrl (Wines Located in New York)"...flows from the glass in a profound expression of ripe, dark fruit. With time in the glass layers of minerals, cassis, tar, sweet herbs and French oak emerge, adding further complexity. This harmonious Ornellaia combines the richness of the vintage with superb freshness and awesome balance."(97pts)9 bottles per lot $1300-1800

9857 Continuum Red - Vintage 2007lscl (Wines Located in New York)"...boasts an inky/purple color as well as an extraordinary perfume of blueberries, blackberries, spring flowers and subtle hints of burning embers and earth. Akin to the seamlessness of haute couture from the likes of Chanel, the integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood has been brilliantly accomplished by Mondavi."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

9866 Penfold's Grange - Vintage 1980bn, nl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"A fabulous Grange, this was a light harvest, and the blend ended up being 96% Shiraz and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine still seems very youthful, made in a very voluptuous, blockbuster Grange style. The wine has a dense ruby/purple color with no amber. A nose of melted asphalt, pepper, Crème de cassis, and blackberries changes little in the glass, but with airing, some sweeter plum, prune, and chocolate emerge in a very full-bodied, powerful, seamlessly constructed wine with perfect levels of glycerin and extract."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

With an opaque purple color, a high tannin level, and gorgeous layers of fruit and intensity, it will be at its peak after 4-6 years of cellaring, and will last for 20-25 years. I don't think I need to reinforce the fact that these offerings are extremely difficult to find, but isn't that the way it always is with such extraordinary wines?..."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $260-350
