At the same time, I have often mis-identified it in blind tastings as the 1986 Mouton-Rothschild. In this tasting, the wine was phenomenal. The color remains an opaque purple. The bouquet is beginning to develop secondary aromas of cedar and truffles to go along with its intense cassis, black-raspberry, blackberry, tarry, toasty personality. Exceptionally dense, concentrated, and full-bodied, this wine possesses layers of concentrated fruit that are beautifully balanced by the wine's sweet tannin and well-integrated acidity. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. A monumental Cabernet Sauvignon, it is one of the greatest wines made this century."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $1500-2000

The most opulent, perfumed, and accessible of these wines, it exhibits an opaque purple color as well as an extraordinary density and richness in addition to copious creme de cassis, cedar, ink, and spice box characteristics. As with all of these wines, there is a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol in addition to phenomenal length and ripeness.

The 2011 is a superb follow-up to the stellar 2010 version, wafting from the glass in a cool and reserved, but quite complex aromatic constellation of red and black cherries, a hint of red currant, gamebird,coffee, woodsmoke excellent soil tones, fresh herbs and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and intensely flavored, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent focus and balance, fine-grained tannins and lovely length and grip on the soil-driven and very classy finish.

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.

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)1 magnum per lot $420-550

A richly and densely fruited nose that is at once earthy and quite animale along with breathtaking complexity complements to perfection the big, rich and sleekly muscled flavors that are very firmly structured but again, not at all aggressive and the sheer depth of material on the palate-drenching finish is nothing short of phenomenal."(94-96pts BH)3 magnums per lot $750-950

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.

This is great Chardonnay first, and a profound Champagne second, but made in a slightly richer style than the Originale.

1504 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2005Bertheau(Wines Located in New York)"Just as it was from cask, this is much more reserved and while not inexpressive, I had to again work the wine in the glass for it to grudgingly reveal a glimpse of the ripe earthy red and black pinot fruit nose that continues onto the rich, full, muscled and powerful flavors that offer excellent volume, particularly on the solidly structured, indeed borderline chewy finish that offers exceptional persistence."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $170-240

1505 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2005Clos de la Marechale, J.F. Mugnier(Wines Located in New York)"In contrast to the expressiveness of the first two '05s, here there is a completely different aromatic profile and one that is brooding with more deeply pitched and quite ripe blue and violet aromas combining with pungent earth and game hints that continue onto the sweet, rich and sappy flavors wrapped around a firm tannic spine. This is impressive as it is clearly Nuits in character yet with refined and sophisticated structural elements."(92pts BH)5 bottles per lot $380-500

1506 Ruchottes Chambertin - Vintage 2006Mugneret-Gibourgdifferent importers (Wines Located in New York)"Discreet wood influence allows the more densely fruited nose to have center stage with its fresh truffle and mineral character though here the dark berry fruit is slightly riper and leads to rich, mouth coating and beautifully textured flavors that possess a certain reserve as well as more of the minerality displayed by the nose, all wrapped in a strikingly long finish. I really like the underlying sense of both tension and vibrancy as this does a slow build from the mid-palate all the way to the finale."(93pts BH)2 bottles per lot $400-600

1507 Vosne Romanée - Vintage 2011Mugneret-Gibourg(Wines Located in New York)"Here the expressive nose is a bit more elegant with essence of plum and violet aromas that are trimmed in notes of anise, menthol and sandalwood.

Awesomely sweet cherry and raspberry aromas give way to its massively ripe, profound, rich and intense character. Layer upon layer of refined yet powerful black cherries, tangy currants, cassis, and toasty oak flavors grace this opulent yet refined and structured wine.

Tighter because of being in the bottle, it is an extraordinary effort that offers the essence of graphite, blackberry liqueur, espresso, and acacia flowers, all combining into an olfactory smorgasbord for the senses. Sensationally concentrated, with sweet tannin, but neither weighty nor over the top as might be expected for a wine of such extreme richness, it is an extraordinarily well-delineated Syrah that should hit its prime in 10-12 years, and last for 30-40.

extraction, a huge aroma of roasted cassis fruit, an unctuous, rich, full-bodied palate, and a spectacularly long, super-rich finish. The tannins remain concealed behind the wine's wealth of fruit."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $600-800

Yquem produced its greatest wine since the twin titans of 1975 and 1976.

and Musigny, particularly after tasting the heights they achieved in this stellar vintage. 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 ripeness, and fabulous density of fruit must be experienced to be believed.

The opaque purple 2000 has put on weight during its elevage and, from the bottle, appears to be spectacular. The wood is well-integrated, and the fruit, glycerin, and overall flavor dimensions are noteworthy.

It is muscular, concentrated, and classic a saturated ruby/purple color a knock-out nose of minerals, licorice, cassis, and an unmistakable lead pencil smell that I often associate with top vintages of Lafite-Rothschild. It is sweet and full-bodied, yet unbelievably rich with no sense of heaviness or flabbiness. The wine possesses high tannin, but it is extremely ripe, and the sweetness of the black currant, spice-tinged Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is pronounced. This profound, backward Ducru-Beaucaillou is a must purchase."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

1630 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1995Graves(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 $320-500

The wine possesses an opaque black/ruby/purple color, and sexy, flamboyant aromatics of pain grille, black fruits, and cedar.

1835 Sassicaia - Vintage 1985Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)"I had this wine in a blind tasting - I have had it frequently, and have never failed to give it a perfect rating. At the same time, I have often mis-identified it in blind tastings as the 1986 Mouton-Rothschild. In this tasting, the wine was phenomenal. The color remains an opaque purple. The bouquet is beginning to develop secondary aromas of cedar and truffles to go along with its intense cassis, black-raspberry, blackberry, tarry, toasty personality. Exceptionally dense, concentrated, and full-bodied, this wine possesses layers of concentrated fruit that are beautifully balanced by the wine's sweet tannin and well-integrated acidity. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. A monumental Cabernet Sauvignon, it is one of the greatest wines made this century."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $1400-1800

1917 Château L'Evangile - Vintage 1995Pomerol2lscl, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Deep, superripe, fully expressed aromas of black raspberry, chocolate, smoke and leather, plus a ripe vegetal nuance that contributes complexity. Velvety, lush and full in the mouth, but rather closed following the bottling; the wine sweetness is currently restrained. Conveys a sense of brooding power.

1921 Château Margaux - Vintage 1982Margauxts, lstl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"We transitioned to the remaining four First Growths in the next flight, beginning with a phenomenal bottle of 1982 Margaux (sourced from Château). The Margaux had a pungent nose, and its t n a jumped out at first. It also had cinnamon, iron, rock and gorgeous perfume. It was beyond licorice according to Dan, and Australian John admired its cherry liqueur. The palate was rocky without the horror but with the picture show, not its

usual feminine self, Ray observed. Though spiny and long, the Margaux was still stylish with a touch of that Margaux elegance. This was a great bottle of this wine, and it ended up being wine of the flight, outshowing all the other First Growths."(97pts JK)1 bottle per lot $800-1100

Made from 100% Marsanne, it is as rich and multidimensional as the fullest, most massive Montrachet money can buy. It is unctuously textured, yet extraordinarily and beautifully balanced. I suspect it will drink well early in life, and then shut down for a few years. It should last for 4-5 decades. The 1996 possesses some of the most amazing glycerin levels I have ever seen in a dry white wine. In short, this wine

must be tasted to be believed."(99pts)2 bottles per lot $350-500

Personally, I compare it to the '66 and the ultra elegant '79. The finesse is unbeatable and the acidity very noticeable. This is a wine that is going to be enjoyed by our grandchildren.

The 85 had a charming nose with nice musk and a sweet, caramel glaze. Chocolate, honey and graham cracker emerged as sexy secondary aromas, all able to speak on a platform of cassis underneath.

The wine is full-bodied, and nearly sweet tasting because of the fruit's exceptional ripeness. Expansive and deep, with the wood, tannin, and acidity nearly masked by the sheer quantity of fruit, the 1970 Vega Sicilia Unico is a velvety-textured, seamless, rich, profound wine that is more approachable than the 1968, yet, along with that legendary wine, remarkably fresh and youthful. It is astonishing that a twenty-five year old wine could look, smell, and taste so young, yet also be so complex.

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.

But when it hit my palate, there was no question that a wine with this much glycerin, unctuous texture and richness could only be a great vintage of Pétrus or Lafleur. Sensational!

2226 Château Cheval Blanc - Vintage 1982St. Emilionlbsl, lgsl, sdc, 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 $500-700

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!

2458 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2006CCS(Wines Located in New York)"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon CCS is utter perfection in Cabernet Sauvignon. Extraordinary power, fruit depth, and perfume (not dissimilar from its siblings') as well as a seamlessness, monumental richness, and a staggering finish are the stuff of legends.

2459 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007CCS(Wines Located in New York)"There is something about the inky/purple-hued 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard CCS (clone 4) that blows me away. The most opulent, perfumed, and accessible of these wines, it exhibits an opaque purple color as well as an extraordinary density

and richness in addition to copious creme de cassis, cedar, ink, and spice box characteristics. As with all of these wines, there is a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol in addition to phenomenal length and ripeness. The multidimensional personality and full-bodied style, with both power and elegance, is compelling. This amazing effort can be drunk now, but it will be even better in 4-5 years, and should unfold gracefully over the following 30+ years."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $700-900

2469 Louis Roederer Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1999Cristal1x1 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 1999 Cristal was extra special, extraordinary in its combination of elegance and power. Its flavors were crisp, clean and intense, long and stylish with superb acidity that did not get in the way of the purity and style of the wine. It was integrated despite its extraordinary length. Its aromas of lightly toasted bread, corn and minerals danced around our table aptly with all the young ladies the Champagne seemed to attract. I love it when that happens. We danced the night away, so I was able to skip the morning workout."(94pts JK)1 bottle per lot $200-280
