(Wines Located in New York)"...an impressive youthful Haut-Bailly. It offers endearing notes of black cherries, raspberries, and currants mixed with tobacco smoke, soil overtones, and subtle wood.

It exhibits copious quantities of jammy blackberry and cassis fruit intertwined with licorice, cigar smoke, and spice box characteristics with a hint of herbs."(91pts)2 bottles per lot $100-120

4002 Château La Fleur Pétrus - Vintage 2000Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"A wine of superb concentration and dazzling intensity, the impressive 2000 Lafleur-Pétrus is tasting even better out of bottle than it did from cask. A deep saturated purple-colored, full-bodied, powerful example that is clearly in a class with the 1998, it may be the finest Lafleur-Pétrus made in the last 50 years. The 2000 exhibits plenty of cocoa, black cherry, plum, and currant fruit, a large framework, and impressive concentration as well as power. I always thought this was an improved "bigger" version of the 1975, and I have no reason to think otherwise based on its performance from bottle."(95pts)

This full-bodied, concentrated effort possesses low acidity, a multi-layered texture, tremendous intensity of flavor, and a persistent finish with considerable ripe, well-integrated tannin.

4037 Château Sociando Mallet - Vintage 2000Haut Medoc1lscl, different importers (Wines Located in New York)This is a beautiful wine and certainly one of the great sleepers of the vintage. I originally predicted that this wine would be at full maturity between 2007 and 2028, but I would push that back by a good 4-5 years. Still inky/purple, with notes of acacia flowers intermixed with wet rocks, black currants, and blueberries, the wine is full-bodied, displays no real evidence of any oak, and offers up terrific concentration, texture, and length.(92pts)2 bottles per lot $120-140

Deep ruby/purple, with a nose of cocoa, toffee, plum, fig, and blackberry, the wine has a full-bodied palate impression, with extraordinary purity, texture, and that multi-layered, highly nuanced finish that goes on for close to a minute."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $30-40

Its dark ruby/plum/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of resiny pine forest interwoven with Crème de cassis, black cherries, melted licorice, and smoky herbs.

The exceptionally rich and powerful full-bodied flavors ooze plenty of dry extract though in another important change, this is now much more refined than it was, particularly on the strikingly intense and gorgeously persistent finish.

hbsl, hwasl, tl (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 $650-850

The 1997's light gold color is accompanied a gorgeous perfume of caramel, honeysuckle, peach, apricot, and smoky wood. Full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with good underlying acidity as well as loads of sweetness and glycerin, it looks to be a great vintage for this renowned Sauternes estate."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $200-240

Smooth and silky in the mouth, with the raspberry and floral flavors dominating. Less obviously sweet today than the Estournelles but this is wonderfully suave wine, with an exhilarating weightlessness on the back end. The very long finish is dominated by tangy raspberry."(92+pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $120-160

5077 Volnay - Vintage 1993Clos du Château des Ducs, M.

This is quite structured and while not tough, it is solidly built in an almost robust style. The '93 Clos du Château des Ducs will require several more years to round out and I wouldn't touch a bottle until 2008 unless you're just curious."(90pts BH)1 bottle per lot $160-220

5078 Clos Vougeot - Vintage 1985Méo-Camuzetlbsl (Wines Located in New York)"A simply unbelievable, and still entirely youthful, nose of everything that is great about Burgundy soars from the glass: spices, earth, leather, tea, smoke, game and a blast of primary and secondary fruit aromas. The flavors are wonderfully rich and still quite vibrant on the beautifully long finish. All of the structure has been resolved though the flavors retain good delineation and the finish is pure velvet."(96pts BH)1 bottle per lot $600-800

5079 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2000Bonneau du Martray(Wines Located in New York)"Shame on me! I vastly under-rated this estate's 2000 Corton-Charlemagne in my barrel assessment a year ago (originally scored 88-90). The finest wine I've ever tasted from this famed domaine, it reveals a rich nose of ripe pears, buttered hazelnuts, and minerals. Medium-bodied, lush, intense, and satin-textured, it has exceptional balance, refinement, and a stupendously long finish. While it is not the most powerful Corton-Charlemagne, it has superb focus, detail, and seamlessness. Toast, spices, pears, and ripe apples can be found throughout its complex character. If this wine continues to improve in the bottle as it did in the final months of elevage, it will be completely mind-boggling."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

It is sure to be controversial among those tasters looking for only new oak and fruit aromas.

The exotic side of l'Evangile so noticeable in its top vintages comes across in this plummy, rich, viscous, medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine.

It also had luscious fruit, a plum, cassis and black olive trifecta. There were secondary brick, wheat and nut aromas. Its fruit was meltingly sweet, and red mixed in with purple and a splash of black. It was quite explosive on the finish with its tannins and acidity, yet it was still balanced with a wealth of a fruit rainbow. Green olive flavors graced its finish. It was just flat-out delicious wine, still sturdy, long and fine. Some food toned down the (positive) aggressive nature of its t n a qualities, but

The color is an impressive opaque dark ruby/purple, and the nose is just beginning to reveal the classic Graves aromas of melted road tar, tobacco leaves, and stones.

This offering demonstrates that a wine does not need a lot of tannin and power to age well; it s all about balance."(91pts)1 magnum per lot $220-300

5171 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1989Château de Beaucastel3lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Perhaps the greatest Beaucastel ever produced.

After bottling, the color is still an impenetrable, black/purple color. The huge nose of truffles, tar, super ripe black fruits, licorice, tobacco, and spices is profound. In the mouth there is sweet, expansive fruit, a super concentrated, powerful, tannic taste, lavish amounts of glycerin and body, as well as a finish that lasts well over a minute. With plenty of tannin, this wine is destined to have 20-25 years of evolution."(96pts)3 magnums per lot $900-1200

The color is nearly black and the alcohol level is well over 15%. The huge nose suggests considerable sur-maturite (maximum ripeness) in its cassis, peach, apricot, heady nose. In the mouth, the thick, rich flavors viscously coat the palate, covering not only the alcohol, but some serious tannins as well. This full-bodied, exceptionally decadent wine makes for a sumptuous mouthful of Châteauneuf du Pape."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $500-700

5178 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1990cuvée spéciale, H. Bonneaulscl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"For the first time in his career, Henri Bonneau produced a cuvée spéciale in 1990. The vintage was so extraordinary he let one parcel of Grenache vines hang until the sugars were over 30%. In essence, this is a late harvest Châteauneuf du Pape with 16.5% natural alcohol and 3 grams residual sugar. It took three years to ferment on its wild yeasts and, after aging in cask and foudre for more than four years, it was bottled without filtration. To say this wine will last for 25-30 years is an understatement. When I asked Bonneau what he would serve with such a powerful, rich wine, he spent the next twenty minutes fantasizing about possible match-ups. If readers want to taste the quintessential Henri Bonneau style, as well as how exciting (and exaggerated) Grenache can be when made from such a degree of ripeness and tiny yields, this wine should not be missed."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $450-600

5179 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1990Reserve des Celestins, H. Bonneau(Wines Located in New York)"Having consistently merited 100 points (if my scoring system went higher, it would be there), it continues to perform like a young wine, yet is accessible enough to be appreciated for its extraordinary combination of power, complexity, and majestic layers of flavor. The color is a dark plum/ruby to the edge. The monumental bouquet offers up aromas of liquified charcoaled beef intermixed with pepper, smoke, creme de cassis, kirsch

liqueur, truffles, and new saddle leather. This full-bodied, viscous, prodigious Châteauneuf du Pape must be tasted to be believed."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $800-1100

Some white flower and stone flavors emerge, and a pinch of marzipan creeps in...Bipin called it flawless ...I think I heard a BD 98+!!!

5182 Hermitage Blanc - Vintage 1990J.L. Chavelbsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1990 had an intense nose full of glue, citrus, honey and wax lots of vigor here. There was a nice nutty quality to the palate, with a pinch of citrus and great terroir/minerality. It was round, rich and waxy if it is not a wine made on acidity then it must have been the alcohol that made the wine quite zippy, although many whispered that they felt a lot of the wines had good acidity. There was good petrol, mineral and benevolent sulfur flavors on the finish."(95pts JK)1 half-bottle per lot $120-160

The 2000 is open-knit and fat, with higher levels of glycerin as well as a more corpulent style than the structured, backward 2001.

It has finally emerged, and notes of iodine, seaweed, black currants, incense, and sweet cherries as well as hot rocks jump from the glass of this full-bodied, powerful wine.

This event is one of the most memorable of my life. I was amazed by the ageworthiness and extremely high quality of Baumard's wines, both in the sweet and dry offerings. But more poignantly, I was stunned that Jean Baumard would invite people from around the world to come taste, criticize, enjoy and judge every wine he had ever crafted.

Vanilla cream, honey, and pit fruit compote inform a glossy, silken-textured, envelopingly-rich palate, but notes of citrus rind, sappy fresh fruit suggestions, and persistent spice keep the message interesting and invigorating. As this opens in the glass, some of the sweet floral perfume that hung so prominently about this year's auction Spatlese put in a delightful appearance. A soothing, lingering finish acts as an appropriate coda."(92pts)6 bottles per lot $120-160

It also had luscious fruit, a plum, cassis and black olive trifecta. There were secondary brick, wheat and nut aromas. Its fruit was meltingly sweet, and red mixed in with purple and a splash of black. It was quite explosive on the finish with its tannins and acidity, yet it was still balanced with a wealth of a fruit rainbow. Green olive flavors graced its finish.

Three thousand bottles are produced from a small parcel of old vines (believed to be over 100 years old) located close to the tiny white chapel on the steepest part of the Hermitage hill. Yields were 9 hectoliters per hectare. A totally different expression of Hermitage, this is a blockbuster, dense, chewy, highly extracted, monster Hermitage the likes of which consumers and professionals rarely encounter.

Still slightly restrained because of its recent bottling, but wow, what potential complexity, mind-boggling richness, and compelling flavor profile are apparent. It is a sublime expression of the art of winemaking as evidenced by its dense purple color and big, sweet kiss of kirsch, framboise, blackberries, licorice, roasted herbs, and smoked meat.

Moreover, it has a level of concentration that represents the essence of the Mouton terroir as well as the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon it contains. Cassis, cedar, spice box, minerals, and vanillin are all present, but this opaque black/purple Pauillac has yet to reveal secondary nuances given its youthfulness. It exhibits huge tannin, unreal levels of glycerin and concentration, and spectacular sweetness and opulence. Nevertheless, it demands another decade of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for another seven or eight decades. I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years! The fact that it resists oxidation is a testament to just how youthful it remains, and how long it will last."(100pts)

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 unquestionably last for 40-50 years."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $800-1100

5753 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

5754 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 2001Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"The 2001 Lafite Rothschild s deep, saturated plum/purple color is accompanied by lead pencil liqueur-like notes intermixed with sweet red and black currants, plums, and cedar. This blend of 86.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13.5% Merlot is a classic example of Lafite. Extremely elegant, medium-bodied, with intense concentration, richness, and sweet tannin..."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

5759 Château Margaux - Vintage 1996Margauxlscl (Wines Located in New York)"...the paradigm for this estate, combining measured power, extraordinary elegance, and admirable complexity. I tasted the wine on three separate occasions in January, and in short, it's a beauty! The color is opaque purple. The wine offers extraordinarily pure notes of blackberries, cassis, pain grille, and flowers, gorgeous sweetness, a seamless personality, and full body, with nothing out of place."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $500-650

5761 Château Margaux - Vintage 2003Margauxlscl (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 $400-550

5762 Grands Échézeaux - Vintage 2005Domaine de la Romanée Contilscl (Wines Located in New York)"...discreet aromas are decidedly more elegant with much more floral influence on the violet and rose petal infused aromas that are nuanced by soy, hoisin and clove notes that can also be found on the muscular, robust and powerful big-bodied flavors that exude dry extract on the detailed and hugely persistent finish.

PARCEL LOTS 5763-5764

5763 La Tâche - Vintage 2005Domaine de la Romanée Contivlscl (Wines Located in New York)"There is only one word to do the nose true justice and that is kaleidoscopic as the aromatic breadth here is simply dazzling with red and black cherry, cassis, plum and subtle earth notes replete with the same Asian spice cabinet aromas as the RSV displays but here the floral aspect, particularly rose petal, is much more pronounced. However, the '05 LT is almost a combination of the RSV's class, grace and sensuality and the Riche's power, taut muscularity and huge length as the overall palate impact is equivalent to a vinous bomb exploding on the cuts-like-a-knife finish that can be measured in minutes not seconds. This is structured to the point of being chewy yet it is never rustic or coarse because the gorgeously detailed palate is buffered by buckets of dry extract. As readers know, I often use the word Zen to describe the kind of inner harmony of a great vintage of Romanée-Conti but rarely with La Tâche yet in 2005, the LT has this element of inner calm and grace as well. In sum, this is a huge but utterly classy and stylish wine that will undoubtedly go down as one of the all time great LT's."(99pts BH)1 bottle per lot $3000-4000

While it sounds moderately odd to describe it this way, there is a swagger to the '05 Riche and this will clearly be one very long distance runner..."(97pts BH)1 bottle per lot $1600-2200

5766 Romanée St. Vivant - Vintage 2005Domaine de la Romanée Contilscl (Wines Located in New York)"This is also very primary and backward as hints of supremely elegant and seductive exceptionally ripe black fruit aromas replete with soy, hoisin, clove and anise nuances mergeinto wonderfully fine and refined linear and firmly structured flavors that culminate in a precise, pure and driving finish that goes on and on. This is a really impressive effort that offers terrific potential but fans of this wine should note that it is

Black cherry, kirsch distillate, cedar, incense, iron filings, wet stone, and roasted meats and coffee represent a few of the immediate aromatic suggestions forced on this taster. In the mouth, it is similarly compelling, with an eruption of clear black cherry, cassis, and meat juices, faintly bitter notes of fruit skin and pungent herbal and mineral notes adding complexity."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

5769 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 2005Vieilles Vignes, Ponsotnl (Wines Located in New York)"...given how many reference standard vintages Domaine Ponsot has produced of the Clos de la Roche over the years, it would be presumptuous to anoint this as the best ever but if it isn't, it will certainly take its rightful place among the very greatest.

5918 Château Angelus - Vintage 1988St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"... is a rich, almost lusty St.-Emilion, with a full-throttle bouquet of licorice, spicy new oak, cassis, olives, and minerals. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, deep, and concentrated, with excellent extract, and a long, heady, moderately tannic finish."(91pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

5919 Château Angelus - Vintage 1989St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"Any Bordeaux lover would be thrilled to have either of the 1989 or 1990 in his or her cellar. Both wines reveal an opaque purple color, with the 1990 slightly more inky. Both wines are also exceptionally endowed, backward, rich, full-bodied, and crammed with fruit. The 1989 possesses a huge finish, with more noticeable tannin than in the 1990. Picking a favorite between these two fabulous examples of their respective vintages is - for me - presently impossible."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

5925 Château Certan de May - Vintage 1988Pomerol1bn, 1ts, 3lscl, 2lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1988's dark ruby/purple color is thick and opaque (in contrast to the relatively translucent 1989). 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. This wine is crammed with black fruits that exhibit a subtle herbaceous quality. The 1988

has superb extraction of fruit, is full-bodied, and is a rich, classic Pomerol."(92pts)3 bottles per lot $260-350

5926 Château Chasse Spleen - Vintage 1989Moulis3lbsl, 3lwrl, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Make no mistake about it, the 1989 Chasse-Spleen is the finest wine this property has produced since their great 1949.

5927 Château Cheval Blanc - Vintage 1988St. Emilionlbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"A 1988 Cheval Blanc had a sexy nose, also in a good spot. Pierre Lurton commented how 1988 was a very classic vintage, deep and dark in color, and that 2004 was like 1988 with more ripeness, which caused Bipin to mutter something about Pavie that I won t repeat! Wolf appreciated its great nose and found the 88 to be a wine for Cheval lovers, for the thinking drinker. He went on to say nothing (was) overstated and admired its beautiful harmony. The wine was open and singing, Pierre picking up on some minty qualities. The nose did have gorgeous red fruits, nuts, a kiss of vanilla, caramel and a touch of earth. The palate had excellent richness, great balance and a long finish. This was an excellent Cheval all the way. As the wine developed, its bready aromas became divine, and its nuttiness got sexier. Flavors of chocolate, meat and earth expanded on its rich palate, which was a bit rusty in a good way. Tasty and with definition, the 1988 Cheval was a real surprise to me, and its vigor held as tertiary aromas of olive, wintergreen and almost dill joined the party."(93pts JK)1 bottle per lot $320-500

5928 Château Clinet - Vintage 1989Pomerol2lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"...offering up pure scents of flowers, black-raspberries, currants, vanillin, and truffles. Full-bodied, with a seamless texture, fabulous concentration, a massive degree of richness, but no heaviness or awkwardness, this remains one of the most profound young wines I have ever tasted.

5932 Château Figeac - Vintage 1990St. Emilion2bn, 1spc (Wines Located in New York)"The huge nose of new saddle leather, herbs, black fruits, and smoke is followed by a wine with exceptional concentration, excellent balance and depth, and a smooth-as-silk finish.

5934 Château L'Evangile - Vintage 1990Pomerol2bn, 2lbsl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1990 L Evangile was classic, very expressive with lots of tannins and alcohol in the nose. It also had luscious fruit, a plum, cassis and black olive trifecta. There were secondary brick, wheat and nut aromas. Its fruit was meltingly sweet, and red mixed in with purple and a splash of black. It was quite explosive on the finish with its tannins and acidity, yet it was still balanced with a wealth of a fruit rainbow. Green olive flavors graced its finish. It was just flat-out delicious wine, still sturdy, long and fine. Some food toned down the (positive) aggressive nature of its t n a qualities, but its acidity stayed long and scintillating."(96pts JK)2 bottles per lot $500-700

5935 Château La Dominique - Vintage 1989St. Emilion1bn, 4lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"The wine is typically forward, with an opaque purple color, and an intense, sweet black-raspberry, cedary, toasty-scented nose.

St. Emilion6lbsl, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"A weedy, tobacco, jammy, cassis-scented nose intertwined with aromas of licorice and earth.

5937 Château La Fleur de Gay - Vintage 1988Pomerol3bn, 5lwrl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1988's black/ruby/purple color makes it among the darkest-colored wines of the vintage. The bouquet is now shut down compared to the terrific fragrance and opulence it displayed when young. However, it takes no real talent to detect scents of smoky, toasty oak, black plums, allspice and oriental spices, as well as gobs of super-ripe fruit."(93pts)5 bottles per lot $350-500

5938 Château La Fleur Pétrus - Vintage 1989Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"A juicy, succulent '89 offering lots of chocolate, black olive and plum character.

5942 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1988Graves3lbsl, 1nl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Perhaps the high quality of Merlot (45% in this vintage's blend) has helped provide the 1988 with significant opulence and depth of fruit. The 1988 has turned out to be a beautifully made, deep, full-bodied, concentrated, rich, well-structured wine that will last for 15-20 years. It is a big, deep, soft, concentrated wine."(90pts)

5943 Château Lagrange - Vintage 1986St. Julien4lbsl, 2nl, 4sdc (Wines Located in New York)"...showing significantly more complexity and richness from the bottle than out of cask, although it was certainly a potentially outstanding wine when tasted from the barrel. In a vintage that produced a number of enormously structured, rich, concentrated wines, Lagrange is a blockbuster wine that seems capable of lasting 30-35 years. Black/ruby in color, with a closed-but-burgeoning bouquet of spicy new oak, black fruits, and flowers, this muscular, full-bodied, tannic wine is packed with fruit, and is clearly one of the great long-distance runners from this vintage."(92pts)4 bottles per lot $240-320

5944 Château Lagrange - Vintage 1990St. Julien8bn, 12lbsl, 2nl, 5sdc (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)12 bottles per lot $1100-1500

5945 Château Le Gay - Vintage 1989Pomerol2lbsl, 1nl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Tannic monster. Full-bodied, with masses of superripe fruit and mouthpuckering tannins. Port lovers like me love this stuff. Age it for decades to come."(95pts WS)2 bottles per lot $200-260

5947 Château Le Tertre Roteboeuf - Vintage 1989St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"A great Le Tertre-Roteboeuf, the 1989 is a massively-endowed wine with full blown aromas of bacon fat and sweet fruit. As someone once said, tasting these wines is akin to swallowing liquefied chocolate-covered, overripe cherries."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $260-350

5948 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 1990St. Julien3lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"This wine is reminiscent of the immensely enjoyable, classic 1985, but is denser, fuller-bodied, and more

obviously tannic. In fact, one component of the 1990 Leoville-Barton reminds me of the 1986 - the high tannins. It should turn out to be a top example of a rich, complex, fairly priced St.-Julien that will age effortlessly."(92pts)3 bottles per lot $350-450

5949 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 1988St. Julienlbsl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"With a rich, spicy, fruitcake, cedary, cassis-scented nose, this medium-bodied, moderately tannic Las Cases offers attractive sweetness and suppleness on the palate, a well-delineated and focused personality, and a moderately tannic finish. The wine is just beginning to reveal some aromatic development. It will benefit from another 2-5 years of cellaring and will keep for 20+ years."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

5950 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 1989St. Julien1bn, 2lbsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)"Greatest Leoville-Las-Cases ever produced. Superb concentration with a great velvety texture and ripe fresh flavors. Coconut and vanilla notes and a burst of fruit at the end; wonderful backbone."(96pts WS)2 bottles per lot $320-420

5951 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 1990St. Julien2bn, 2lbsl, 2nl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Black/purple, with a tight but promising aroma of jammy black fruits, herbs, and new wood, this well-endowed wine has gobs of tannin and extract. It will repay, even require, long cellaring. This is a brilliant wine."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $400-500

5952 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1988Pauillac1bn, 1ts, 2bsl (Wines Located in New York)"... is one of the best efforts of the vintage. Although the bouquet is still reserved, it reveals attractive herbal, cassis, smoky aromas. In the mouth, there is considerable richness and weight, a full-bodied, powerful feel on the palate, and a long, moderately tannic finish."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

PARCEL LOTS 5953-5954

5953 Château Margaux - Vintage 1986Margauxlstl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"...continues to be the most powerful, tannic, and muscular Margaux made in decades. One wonders if the 1928 or 1945 had as much power and depth as the 1986? The black/ruby/purple color reveals no sign of age. The reluctant nose offers up aromas of smoky, toasty new oak and blackcurrants, as well as a few

5954 1 bottle per lot $400-550lstl (Wines Located in New York)

5955 Château Margaux - Vintage 1990Margauxstl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Its ethereal bouquet of sweet black fruits, cedar, spices, flowers, smoke, and vanilla is remarkably well-formed and intense. In the mouth, there is not a hard edge to this classic wine, which is super-concentrated, soft, silky-textured, and opulent. It displays an opaque ruby/purple color, a compelling bouquet, and exquisite layers of flavors that cascade over the palate without any notion of toughness or coarseness."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $700-900

5956 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1986Pauillac1ts, 2wisl, 1spc (Wines Located in New York)"Clearly the youngest looking, most opaque and concentrated wine of the group, it tastes as if it has not budged in development since I first tasted it out of barrel in March, 1987. An enormously concentrated, massive Mouton-Rothschild, comparable in quality, but not style, to the 1982, 1959, and 1945, this impeccably made wine is still in its infancy I suspect the 1986 Mouton-Rothschild requires a minimum of 15-20 more years of cellaring; it has the potential to last for 50-100 years!..."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $1300-1800

5957 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1990Pauillacwisl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Full, deep red. Knockout smoky nose of cedar, leather, earth, truffle and game. Then rather tightly coiled and far less pliant than the nose would suggest. Strong acids contribute to this wine rather powerful structure. But I don't find the flesh shown by the best wines from this vintage. Finishes quite firm, youthfully backward and persistent."(90+?pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $300-400

5958 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1993Pauillachstl (Wines Located in New York)"...but there is more richness of fruit, a sweet, ripe, pureness to the wine, as well as medium body and outstanding balance.

Graves4bn, 1ts, 6lbsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)"Big, broad, lush, supple and tannic, this is a rich, complex, dramatic wine with layers of cedar, plum, and currant flavors that are sharply focused, elegant and subtle. Delicious to drink now if you can look past the soft tannins."(92pts WS)6 bottles per lot $350-500

5960 Château Pape Clement - Vintage 1990Graves9lbsl, 9sdc (Wines Located in New York)"...deeper ruby/purple color, and a sweet nose of black fruits, tobacco, roasted herbs, and meats. This medium-bodied, concentrated wine is surprisingly tannic and backward..."(91pts)9 bottles per lot $1300-1800

5961 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 1988Pauillac2lbsl, 1lstl (Wines Located in New York)"...promises to be one of the half-dozen superstars of this vintage.

5963 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1986Pauillacstl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The wine shows notes of cedar, black currants, earth, spice box, and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, very concentrated, intense palate with a still noticeable tannic structure, a relatively big, muscular style for Pichon-Lalande."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

5964 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1989Pauillachwisl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Voluptuous and velvety. Dark ruby color. Intense aromas of blackberries, fresh mushrooms and dried herbs. Full-bodied, with loads of ripe fruit and velvety tannins."(94pts WS)1 bottle per lot $150-200

5969 Château Talbot - Vintage 1986St. Julien1ts, 1vhs, 2lbsl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"It's my gut feeling that the 1986 is, along with the 1982, the finest Talbot made at this estate since the legendary 1945. The wine, which has been so special since the first taste from cask, is classically structured, with a penetrating fragrance of peppery, spicy, weedy black currants and tar, an enormous concentration of flavor on the palate, and staggering length."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $220-300

6122 Pride Mountain Reserve Claret - Vintage 2003(Wines Located in New York)"The 2003 Reserve Claret is a blend of 67% Merlot and 33% Cabernet Sauvignon that achieved 14.4% alcohol. An exquisite candidate for wine of the vintage, it comes from a vineyard high on the summit of Spring Mountain. Eighty-three percent of the fruit comes from Sonoma and the rest from Napa County as the vineyard sits astride the county lines. Its dark plum/garnet color reveals a slight lightening at the edge. A beautiful nose of cedarwood, forest floor, red and black currants, kirsch and plum is followed by a full-bodied wine with great freshness, a rich, textured mouthfeel and sensational concentration with no heaviness. This is an uplifting, quintessential mountain Cabernet Sauvignon that outperforms the vintage."(97pts)1 magnum per lot $150-200

refinement that complements perfectly the texture and very Gevrey medium full flavors that in contrast to the nose seem less refined than usual.

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 bottles per lot $400-550

6359 Musigny - Vintage 2006Vieilles Vignes, Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in New York)"This is also extremely floral with a reserved nose that is an airy, spicy and ripe mélange of red and blue pinot fruit that displays really lovely violet and rose petal notes that are picked up by the minerally, intense and harmonious flavors that are beautifully proportioned and are blessed with ample amounts of dry extract on the essence of pinot and explosive, energetic and hugely long yet incredible precise finish that is also built on a base of firm minerality.

Brooding aromas of medicinal blueberry and menthol lifted by brilliant high notes of rose petal, mace and minerals. Compellingly deep and young, even youthfully imploded today, but this already boasts brilliant detail and energy and an exhilarating high pitch. Penetrating, powerful blue fruits, graphite, flowers and minerals stain the palate with flavor and will not quit. A great Bonnes-Mares for the Musigny lover.

6367 Chambertin - Vintage 2005Clos de Bèze, L. Jadot1ltl (Wines Located in New York)"This is notably riper than any other in this group of Gevrey grands crus with a profoundly complex nose of red and black pinot fruit, warm earth, underbrush, game, anise, clove, mocha and roasted coffee hints that introduce rich, full and intense flavors that are packed with potential on the serious and chewy finish that is both concentrated and powerful while seeming to go on forever.

6373 Volnay - Vintage 2006Clos des Ducs, Marquis d'Angerville(Wines Located in New York)"Mild reduction cannot hide the classic brilliance of a fine Clos des Ducs with its red and blue pinot fruit and dried rose petal nuances that dissolve into rich, intense and mineral-inflected flavors of crystalline purity and wonderful cut and precision, all wrapped in an exceptionally fresh, deep and mouth coating finish that seems to go on and on.

Sweet, smoky, roasted aromas in the nose combine with jammy levels of black currant, cherry, and prune-like fruit. It possesses extraordinary concentration and unctuosity, with a thick, fat texture oozing notes of cedar wood, tobacco, coffee, and over-ripe fruit.

Cassis, cedar, spice box, minerals, and vanillin are all present, but this opaque black/purple Pauillac has yet to

reveal secondary nuances given its youthfulness. It exhibits huge tannin, unreal levels of glycerin and concentration, and spectacular sweetness and opulence. Nevertheless, it demands another decade of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for another seven or eight decades. I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years!

The wine has a late-harvest, almost roasted character to it, hence the comparison with Amarone does not seem far-fetched.

It has nice vim, but I wouldn t call it vigor. There was also some exotic chestnut on a secondary bed of cassis. Pencil was there, along with good spice. Long and hearty, the 88 Lafite had good intensity without being intense. Carob, earth, tobacco and a kiss of wood flavors rounded out this excellent wine."(94pts JK)1 bottle per lot $550-750

Jaboulet2lscl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"This fabulous, blockbuster has been totally unevolved since bottling, but at the Jaboulet tasting, it was beginning to reveal some of its formidable potential. A saturated opaque purple color is followed by aromas of cassis, minerals, and hot bricks/wood fire. Super-ripe and full-bodied, with a massive mid-section, teeth-staining extract, and mouth-searing tannin, it is a monster-sized La Chapelle."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $400-500

6863 Hermitage - Vintage 1997La Chapelle, P. Jaboulet1lscl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)"The wine looks impressive, with a viscosity and unctuous richness. There is amazing fat and chewiness, as well as spectacular aromatics of over-ripe black currants and blackberries intermingled with barbeque spices, soy, and jammy black fruits. The tannin seems lost in the wine's full-bodied, silky-textured, voluptuously rich, staggeringly concentrated style. The mid-palate explodes with sweetness, glycerin, and extract.

The opulent, rich, concentrated 1999 is atypically forward and luscious. The dense purple color is followed by precocious, sweet black cherry/cassis aromas backed up by noteworthy liquid mineral and subtle smoky new oak notes.

6871 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 1982St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)" This huge wine is, in many ways, just as massive as Leoville Barton, but it possesses a greater degree of elegance as well as unreal concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors. The tannins are still there, and, at least from my cellar, this 1982 does not appear to have changed much in the last 10-12 years."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

6874 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 2003Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Backward, powerful, and extremely tannic, the dense purple-colored 2003 Mouton-Rothschild, a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, fashioned from yields of 28 hectoliters per hectare, with a finished alcohol of 12.9%, improves dramatically with aeration. With full-bodied, meaty, powerful, dry flavors as well as a huge finish, this high class wine should be at its finest between 2012-2040+. During its sojourn in barrel, it reminded me of a hypothetical blend of the 1982 and 1986 Moutons, but since bottling, it appears different, and even more tannic than those two vintages. I still believe the finest recent Mouton-Rothschild is the 2000."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $650-1000

7003 Château Gruaud Larose - Vintage 1983St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"Typical of the wines this property made in the late seventies and early eighties, it offers a full throttle style, an opaque dark ruby/purple color with no amber at the edges, and a huge nose of melted road tar, new saddle leather, grilled meats, and black fruits. It is sure to be controversial among those tasters looking for only new oak and fruit aromas. Powerful, spicy, and full-bodied, with surprising viscosity for a 1983, this wine's low acidity allows it to be appreciated now, but there are still formidable quantities of sweet tannins in the finish."(92pts)1 magnum per lot $180-240

7004 Château Gruaud Larose - Vintage 1985St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"The delicious 1985 Gruaud-Larose has evolved beautifully. It exhibits a lovely, sweet, fragrant bouquet of berry fruit, truffles and smoky oak. On the palate, the wine is fat, long, forward for Gruaud, medium to full-bodied, and deep."(90pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

7005 Château Haut Bailly - Vintage 2005Graves(Wines Located in New York)"...is an ethereal, delicate, finesse-styled offering with intensity as well as richness. It has all the concentration one could want, but it comes across as gorgeously elegant and sublime because of its combination of delicacy, power, and depth. Beautiful raspberry, black cherry, currant, graphite, and scorched earth notes are subtle, but provocative. In the mouth, there is good acidity, medium body, ripe tannin, and terrific length."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $500-700

7006 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1985Graves(Wines Located in New York)"In a recent blind tasting it came out first among all the 1985 first-growths. It was the densest, richest, and most backward of the eight first-growths, yet it was thrown in as the ringer. The color is an impressive opaque dark ruby/purple, and the nose is just beginning to reveal the classic Graves aromas of melted road tar, tobacco leaves, and stones. In the mouth, this full-bodied wine reveals more concentration than I remember from cask or immediately after bottling. The finish is long, rich, and convincing."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $220-300

7007 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1983Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Finally, the 1983 Lafite is beginning to shed its tannin.

The wine exhibits a deep ruby/garnet color with only a slight lightening at the edge. The intoxicatingly perfumed nose of lead pencil, pain grille, red and black fruits, minerals, and roasted herbs is provocative. In the mouth, this wine displays considerable body for a Lafite, plenty of power, and a fleshy, rich, sweet mid-palate. Long, elegant, plump, and surprisingly fleshy, this outstanding example of Lafite seems largely forgotten given the number of high quality vintages during the golden decade of the eighties."(93pts)2 half-bottles per lot $600-800

7008 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1985Pauillacgsl, ltsl (Wines Located in New York)"Seems like a baby...smells like the 1996 (which was last in the flight, and obviously the 1996) - there is that young, sweet integrated oak and a purple, dank sweet fruit quality as well...biggest finish - bigger than the 1982 surprisingly (or perhaps the '82 finish was dormant and/or buried in the wine)...palate not living up to nose right now...I guessed 1988, and was surprised to see it was the 1985."(93+pts JK)1 half-bottle per lot $300-400

7009 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 1982St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)" This huge wine is, in many ways, just as massive as Leoville Barton, but it possesses a greater degree of elegance as well as unreal concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors. The tannins are still there, and, at least from my cellar, this 1982 does not appear to have changed much in the last 10-12 years."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $750-1000

7011 Château Margaux - Vintage 1978Margaux2lbsl, 1nl, 1lwrl, excellent color and condition (Wines Located in New York)"The 1978 s nose has moved from one of ripe fruit and spicy oak, to tarry, truffle, earthy aromas that come across as slightly too masculine and meaty. Nevertheless, this is a rich, full-bodied, concentrated Margaux it remains one of the few great wines from the 1978 vintage."(92pts)2 half-bottles per lot $180-240

7012 Château Montrose - Vintage 1986St. Estephe2lbsl, 1sdc (Wines Located in New York)"... is a big, brawny Montrose, with gobs of fruit, a boatload of tannin, and enough muscle and depth to remind the league of classic Montrose fans of such great vintages such as 1970, 1964, 1959, and 1953."(91pts)

2 bottles per lot $200-260

7013 Château Palmer - Vintage 1998Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"A classic Margaux, the 1998 Palmer has put on weight and fleshed out during its elevage in barrel. It displays a dense purple color as well as a sumptuous bouquet of black fruits, licorice, melted asphalt, pain grill , and a touch of acacia flowers. Full-bodied, with brilliant definition, this blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a dollop of Petit Verdot, will age well for 20-30 years. It is one of the M doc's, as well as the Margaux appellation's finest wines of the vintage."(91pts)6 bottles per lot $750-1000

7014 Château Pavie Macquin - Vintage 1998St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"Nearly exaggerated levels of intensity, extract, and richness are apparent in this opaque blue/purple-colored wine. Sumptuous aromas of blueberries, blackberries, and cherries combine with smoke, licorice, vanillin, and truffles to create a compelling aromatic explosion. The wine is fabulously dense, full-bodied, and layered, with multiple dimensions, gorgeous purity, and superbly integrated acidity as well as tannin. One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage, it possesses immense potential, but patience is required."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

7015 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2000Pauillac1x1 double magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"A spectacular effort clearly my favorite vintage of this wine since the 1989 and 1990. An inky purple color offers up notes of barbecue spices intermixed with new saddle leather, creme de cassis, melted licorice, creosote, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied, tremendously concentrated, with sweet tannin and a seamless finish that goes on for close to one minute. This wine has great purity, tremendous texture, and fabulous upside potential."(96pts)1 double magnum per lot $500-700

7016 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1985Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Still incredibly youthful. Exhibits fabulous aromas of fresh fruit, minerals and chocolate with a hint of spice. Full-bodied and concentrated, with loads of fruit and tannins."(96pts WS)1 bottle per lot $150-200

7017 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1986Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"The wine shows notes of cedar, black currants, earth, spice box, and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, very concentrated, intense palate with a still noticeable tannic structure, a relatively big, muscular

7027 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1986Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"The 1986 possesses outstanding richness, a deep color, medium body, a graceful, harmonious texture, and superb length. The penetrating fragrance of cedar, chestnuts, minerals, and rich fruit is a hallmark of this wine. Powerful, dense, rich, and tannic, as well as medium to full-bodied, with awesome extraction of fruit, this Lafite has immense potential."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $1000-1300

It is equally concentrated, with a more evolved nose of cedar, black fruits, earth, minerals, and spices. On the palate, the wine offers sensational quantities of jammy fruit, glycerin, wood, and sweet tannin."(96pts)

This wine also possesses lots of elegance and finesse. The wine s medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, coconut, and apricots. High quality, subtle toasty oak is well-integrated..."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $320-500

7036 Château Lafaurie Peyraguey - Vintage 1990Sauterneslscl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"I remember how one-dimensional, diffuse, thick, and alcoholic this wine tasted from cask and immediately after bottling, but it has progressed enormously. The 1990 exhibits a deep golden corn-like color, followed by sensational aromatics (honeyed citrus, pineapple and pear intertwined with smoke and creme brulee-like notes). In the mouth, the wine is massive and full-bodied, with an unctuous texture, and powerful, juicy flavors that possess mouth-staining extract, glycerin, and viscosity."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

7037 Château Rieussec - Vintage 1986Sauterneslwasl, wrl (Wines Located in New York)"... is a complex and elegant wine, with plenty of smoky almonds, peaches, and honeyed apricot fruit in the nose and flavors.

7038 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 1990Bonneau du Martray

3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Still remarkably tight for 15 years of age with a pungent minerality and still entirely fresh green fruit nose followed by medium weight, sweet, very youthful flavors that are wonderfully intense and precise and the two years since I last had this wine in this format have certainly improved the length as well as the intensity. While this could be drunk now with pleasure, it's still frankly too young and would be best left for another 5 years or so first. In short, this is a stunner of a wine and one that seems to just keep getting better and better with time."(94pts BH)3 bottles per lot $500-700

7039 Dominus - Vintage 1990vlscl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The nose offers thrilling aromas of ripe cassis, spices, and minerals.

Again, the sweet, rich fruit is lavishly displayed."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

7041 Romanée St. Vivant - Vintage 1999N. Potel(Wines Located in New York)"A spicy and subtlely complex nose leads to quite structured, deep, sappy, incredibly intense flavors underpinned by firm tannins on the wonderfully long finish. This is rather reserved, even shut down just now and will definitely require a decade plus of bottle age to show its full but considerable potential."(93pts BH)3 bottles per lot $400-550

7042 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 1993R. Groffier2vlbsl, 2lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"Wonderfully complex and still very fresh with strong aromas of ripe earth followed by big, robust, powerful flavors of considerable depth and length. This is the Hulk dressed in velvet as it's muscular but not rustic and delivers a great drinking experience. This is still fresh and while it is no longer primary, it should hold at this level for a long time. Note: there is a tremendous amount of bottle variation in the Groffier '93s and not all bottles have been quite this good. Those that are not particularly good are carrying too much gas, which makes the finish rather unpleasant."(92pts BH)2 bottles per lot $450-600
