1.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1986 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: one into neck, one bottom neck, scuffed capsules “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. Patience is required. Anticipated maturity: 20002030.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/98 2 bottles $1,600-2,400 2.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1988 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: into neck R. Parker, 94 pts. 10/94 2 bottles $1,200-1,800 3.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1989 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: into neck 2 bottles $1,000-1,500 4.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1990 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: into neck R. Parker, 96 pts. 06/09 2 bottles $1,300-1,700 5.

Chateau Latour 1990 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: into neck R. Parker, 95+ pts. 06/09 2 bottles $1,200-1,600 6.

Chateau Margaux 1983 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe u: bottom neck, one with slight signs of old seepage, lightly bin-soiled labels R. Parker, 96 pts. 01/03 2 bottles $700-900 7.

Chateau Margaux 1985 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe u: bottom neck, one nicked capsule R. Parker, 95 pts. 01/03 2 bottles $600-900

8.

Chateau Margaux 1986 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe u: bottom neck, lightly bin-soiled labels “A magnificent example of Chateau Margaux and one of the most tannic, backward Margauxs of the last 50 years, the 1986 continues to evolve at a glacial pace. The color is still a dense ruby/purple with just a hint of lightening at the rim. With several hours of aeration, the aromatics become striking, with notes of smoke, toast, creme de cassis, mineral, and white flowers. Very full-bodied, with high but sweet tannin, great purity, and a very masculine, full-bodied style, this wine should prove nearly immortal in terms of its aging potential. It is beginning to budge from its infantile stage and approach adolescence.”

R. Parker, 98 pts. 01/03 2 bottles $600-900 9.

Chateau Margaux 1988 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe u: into neck, one dampstained label 2 bottles $450-700 10.

Chateau Margaux 1989 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe u: into neck 2 bottles $600-800 11.

Chateau Margaux 1990 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe u: bottom neck “I had this wine both in Seoul, Korea, in February, and from my cellar in December, 2008, and it was remarkable how identical the wines smelled and tasted. It offers an extraordinary aromatic display of spring flowers, camphor, sweet red and black fruits, a hint of licorice, and no evidence of its 100% new oak cask aging. Round and generous with low acidity, but an opulent, full-bodied richness that is fresh with laserlike precision, this stunning wine is just beginning to reach its plateau of full maturity, where it should remain for another three decades. A sensational effort, it is one of the legendary wines made at Chateau Margaux.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/09 2 bottles $1,400-1,800 12.

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1986 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: bottom neck Deep garnet-black colour. An incredible array of aromas on the nose: blackberry, black cherry, tobacco, espresso, leather, black olive and loam. The palate is absolutely seamless from first impression to finish, effortlessly building layers of complexity in the mouth and leading to a very long, earth and spice finish. I can’t see how this could possibly be improvement so have no alternative but concede perfection.” L. Perrotti-Brown for R. Parker, 100 pts. 05/09 2 bottles $1,000-1,400 13.

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1988 (2 bts), u: into neck, lightly dampstained labels 1989 (2 bts), u: into neck, one dampstained label 1990 (2 bts), u: very top shoulder 6 bottles $1,500-2,250

Chateau Haut Brion 1988 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: 2cm 2 bottles $500-800 15.

Chateau Haut Brion 1989 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: 1.5cm, one dampstained label R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/03 2 bottles $1,800-2,800 16.

Chateau Haut Brion 1990 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: 1.5cm, dampstained labels 2 bottles $1,100-1,500 17.

Chateau Montrose 1990 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: into neck R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/09 2 bottles $700-1,000 19.

Chateau Cheval Blanc 1990 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (A) u: bottom neck or better “One of my favorite Cheval Blancs, it remains to be seen if the 1998, 2000, and 2008 will live up to this offering. It is the ripest wine of the aforementioned vintages, with a complex bouquet of tobacco leaf, Christmas fruitcake, sweet black fruits, bordering on fig and plum, but no hint of overripeness, and notions of new saddle leather, mint, and incense. The gorgeously expressive aromatics are followed by a fullbodied wine revealing abundant glycerin as well as elevated alcohol, but it is not hot, and nothing is out of place. Expansive, rich, and revealing the nuances and complexity that come from bottle age, it is at its peak of maturity where it should remain for another 10-15 years.” R. Parker, 98+ pts. 06/09 4 bottles $1,300-1,800

20.

Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache 1990 Cote de Nuits u: 1.5cm, slightly nicked capsule “A stunning, massive, full-on and completely classic La Tâche nose that displays almost unbelievable complexity so with many different elements that it is impossible to even begin to describe them all; the primary components include ethereal and still fresh pinot fruit, clove, knock out spiciness, anise, hoisin, soy and a trace of earth but these elements only hint at the sheer depth. The flavors are big, rich, refined, classy, penetrating and superbly powerful yet everything is in perfect balance and there is more than sufficient sève to balance off the still considerable tannins. The finish is intense, pure and so long that it is haunting; I could literally still taste this wine days later after I had it because it had such a dramatic and emotional impact. In its youth, this was one of the finest young Burgundies that I have ever been privileged to try and it only seems to get better with each passing year. For my taste, this is getting close to arriving at its peak but it’s not quite there though again, I stress that this is to my taste and some may find it to already be in its sweet spot of maturation. In short, this is absolutely brilliant. Note that while I have had relatively consistent notes, I have had two bottles that were a bit astringent on the finish and not in the class of what I describe above.” Burghound, 99 pts. 04/11 1 bottle $3,000-4,500 21.

Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Chapelle 1989 Northern Rhone u: 2.5cm, nicked, scuffed, and dampstained labels R. Parker, 96 pts. 06/00 2 bottles $350-450 22.

Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Chapelle 1990 Northern Rhone u: 2.5cm, nicked and lightly dampstained labels R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/00 2 bottles $800-1,200 23.

Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon Martha’s Vineyard 1985 (2 bts), u: bottom neck 1986 (3 bts), u: bottom neck 1987 (2 bts), u: bottom neck 7 bottles $600-900

La Mission lies just across the road from Haut Brion. The descendants of American banker Clarence Dillon now run properties (previously owning just Haut Brion). Given this fact, there exists an inevitable fixation to contrast the properties. Still, the arrangement between them is not really one of sibling rivalry at all. What is striking is how these wine estates and adjacent vineyards exist so close to the city center of Bordeaux (4 miles). Mercifully the unusually deep gravel soils so ideal for viticulture were never paved over! -PhM

An excellent selection showing depth and rarity from the extensive custom-built climate-controlled cellars of an East Coast Gentleman.

Spanning all classifications of Left Bank Bordeaux and some Right Bank; Piedmont, and Tuscany in large format for the generous pour.

Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 2000 Pessac Leognan, Cru Classe “The 2000 La Mission Haut-Brion is certainly one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage. Its performance was off-the-charts in two separate tastings for this report. Deep blue/purple, with a nose of creme de cassis, floral scents, graphite, and subtle smoke, the wine is pure, deep, sumptuously textured, full-bodied, powerful (although certainly not at the power level of the amazing 2009). This wine certainly transcends its 13% natural alcohol and has the same level of concentration found in such great vintages of La Mission Haut-Brion as 1989, 1982, 1975, and of course, more recent efforts such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Still young but beginning to display some secondary nuances, the wine has enormous layers of depth as well as an unctuous texture. Even though it is still quite youthful, I believe it will hit its prime in another 3-4 years and last 50 or more. It is certainly a wine that will likely jump dramatically in price once the price of the 2009 is released.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10 1 magnum $700-1,000 36.

Chateau Pavie 1999 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (B) “The 1999 Pavie is a candidate for “wine of the vintage”. It boasts an opaque ruby/purple color in addition to gorgeous aromas of crushed minerals, smoke, licorice, cherry liqueur, and black currants. The wine is exceptionally pure and multilayered, with stunning texture and overall balance. The tannin level suggests 3-4 years of cellaring is warranted; it should age gracefully for 25+ years. If readers are wondering why Pavie has become so much better under the administration of Chantal and Gerard Perse, keep in mind that yields are one-third of what they were under the previous owners.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 04/02 12 bottles (owc) $1,200-1,800

Domaine Laflaive Puligny Montrachet Clavoillon 1er Cru 2007 Cote de Beaune 12 bottles $500-700 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey – On offer here is an exciting collection of wines from an up and coming producer in the Cote de Beaune. After the 2005 vintage, Pierre-Yves Colin founded his own micro-negociant business in Chassagne Montrachet, where Colin inherited a portion of his father Marc Colin’s estate. Seeking to produce wines with the purest expression of terroir, the wines are largely aged in 600 liter demimuid barrels and are not subject to battonage—the traditional process of rousing the lees as the wines age in barrel. These practices lead to a vibrant, bright expression of Chardonnay and are likely borne from Colin’s unabashed affection for Riesling. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to acquire varied formats of this exciting young producer.

Paul Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle 2003 Northern Rhone “The finest example of this cuvee since 1990, the 2003 Hermitage La Chapelle (50,000 bottles rather than the normal 96,000+ were produced) possesses an inky/purple color as well as a tremendous bouquet of creme de cassis, crushed flowers, truffles, and licorice. Fullbodied and powerful (15% natural alcohol) with good freshness and definition, this big, rich, dense, reassuringly great La Chapelle should be cellared for 5-8 years, and drunk over the following 20-25.” R. Parker, 95+ pts. 02/06 12 bottles (owc) $600-900 58.

A. Conterno Barolo Granbussia Riserva 1990 Piedmont u: 1cm “The 1990 Barolo Riserva Granbussia is a ripe, exotic beauty endowed with plenty of tar, roses, licorice and wild herbs. Still spectacularly rich and intense, this full-bodied, layered Barolo offers superb length and a sweeping finish where the glycerin and sheer weight of the vintage come through in spades. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 95 pts. 02/10 2 bottles $550-800 59.

A. Conterno Barolo Granbussia Riserva 1990 Piedmont u: 1.5cm, label lightly torn, loose at edge 1 magnum $500-750 60.

Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio Barolo Monprivato 2006 Piedmont “Mascarello’s 2006 Barolo Monprivato is incredibly primary at this stage. The 2006 is an explosive Monprivato endowed with layers of ripe red fruit backed up by firm, muscular tannins that speak with great eloquence. I expect the 2006 to go through a period of stubbornness as it often does - but it should begin to show well at around age ten or so. From time to time, the wine shows glimpses of its nobility. The 2006 is shaping up to be a profound Monprivato. The only thing it needs is time. This is a fabulous effort from Mascarello. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2036.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 96 pts. 12/10 6 bottles $350-500 61.

62.

Gaja Sperss 1989 Piedmont u: bottom neck “The 1989 Barolo Sperss is wonderfully complete and polished, as layers of seamless, ripe fruit emerge from its powerful frame with tons of class. The wine reveals stunning elegance and purity wrapped around a powerful core of Serralunga fruit that speaks volumes of the greatness of this terroir. The 1989 Sperss can be enjoyed today as the tannins are incredibly finessed, but it also looks to have many years of profound drinking ahead of it. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 97 pts. 02/10 2 bottles $400-500 63.

Gaja Sperss 1997 Piedmont “A virtually perfect effort is the 1997 Sperss (30,000 bottles), which represents the essence of truffles, earth, and black cherries in its striking aromatics and multidimensional, opulent, full-bodied palate. The acidity seems low because of the huge glycerin levels and prodigious concentration of fruit, but I suspect it is normal in the scheme of oenological measurement. This profound wine requires 3-4 years of cellaring, and should age well for 30-35 years.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/01 4 bottles $900-1,200 64.

Gaja Sperss 2003 Piedmont 4 bottles $400-600 65.

Gaja Sperss 2004 Piedmont 2 magnums $800-1,200 66.

Gaja Costa Russi 2004 Piedmont “The 2004 Costa Russi is irresistibly sexy and opulent. As is typically the case, the wine is more overtly fruit-driven, with a round, supple personality. Sweet, long and richly-textured, it is just plain awesome in its display of generous, vibrant fruit, tar, smoke, minerals and herbs. It is the finest Costa Russi yet. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2024.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 95 pts. 10/07 1 magnum $250-350 67.

Gaja Sori San Lorenzo 2004 Piedmont “The 2004 Sori San Lorenzo is a drop-dead gorgeous wine. It presents awesome balance, especially in the way it marries power with elegance.

This is a remarkably refined and understated Sori San Lorenzo, with never-ending layers of dark raspberries, licorice, grilled herbs and tar that flow from its sumptuous frame. A dark, brooding beauty, it will require several additional years of bottle at a minimum, but those with the patience to wait will be amply rewarded. In most vintages I prefer the Sori Tildin, but in 2004 Sori San Lorenzo has a very slight edge over its sibling. It may very well be the finest Sori San Lorenzo since the legendary 1971. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 98 pts. 10/07 1 magnum $400-600

Sassicaia 2005 Tuscany A. Galloni for R. Parker, 93 pts. 06/08 6 bottles $1,400-2,200 73.

Rosso Di Toscana Palazzi 1999 Tuscany “The 1999 Palazzi (800 cases of a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot) boasts a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a complex nose of currants, cigar box, plums, and cherry liqueur with a hint of toasty oak in the background. Full-bodied, elegant, and complex, with a savory mid-palate and sweet tannin, it will drink beautifully for 12-14 years. This wine, in the style of Franchetti’s friends, Peter Sissick and Jean-Luc Thunevin, was not fined, filtered, or stabilized, and essentially represents the most honest/authentic essence of their vineyard. This is the wine of a genius.” R. Parker, 93 pts. 10/01 12 bottles (owc) $250-350 74.

Promise Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Napa Valley “A staggeringly rich, profound Cabernet Sauvignon has emerged from this producer, simply called Promise. About the only information on the back label is that someone named Steve McPherson has a lot to do with the final product, and congratulations certainly go to him. An absolutely spectacular 2007, this wine has an inky purple color to the rim. Gorgeously pure creme de cassis and black cherry fruit interwoven with hints of lead pencil shavings, burning embers, and spice is followed by a full-bodied, opulent, but at the same time, structured wine. It seems capable of lasting 20-30 or more years. This looks to me like a classic from Napa Valley, and although it is certainly approachable already (as most Napa Cabernets from top years tend to be), there is a long, long life ahead of it.

BV Cabernet Sauvignon Georges De Latour Private Reserve 2007 Napa “The phenomenal 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour is the greatest BV Private Reserve made since the 1970 and 1968. The good news is 11,000 cases were produced. The return of this superb Napa classic is fabulous news, and the brilliance of this wine is evidenced by its opaque purple color and its big, sweet, blackberry, cassis, subtle smoke, graphite, and spicy oak-scented nose. Dense and full-bodied with sweet but substantial tannins, thrilling levels of concentration, texture, and richness, and a heady finish, this wine will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age, and last three decades or more.

It’s time to once again fill your cellars with the BV Private Reserve, one of the historic names in California wine folklore.” R. Parker, 95 pts.

Old World Dinner Lot Designed to complement a large dinner, this lot features classic wines from the Old World. Raise a toast to the health of your guests in style with 1998 Dom Perignon before moving on to the elusive and legendary Clos St. Hune Riesling from Trimbach—arguably the finest Riesling vineyard in the world. The crisp Puligny Montrachet “Les Levrons” will serve nicely alongside a shellfish appetizer. With the main course, two offerings from legendary estates: Ceretto’s Barolo Bricco Rocche from 1997 and 1996 Montrose. With dessert, who can resist a glass of Graham’s Vintage Port? Bon appétit!

Start the night off with a bottle of vintage Pierre Gimonnet, known for producing a beautifully rich and focused Champagne. Move on to a pair of Chardonnay: the opulent and rich Kongsgaard from Napa to compare to the Old-World vines/New-World production of Mischief and Mayhem’s Meursault. For the main course, a pair of huge ‘99s: California’s Lewis Cabernet and Australia’s Old Bastard Shiraz from Kaesler’s 110-year old vines in Barossa.

Chateau Latour 1996 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe “A spectacular Latour, the 1996 may be the modern day clone of the 1966, only riper. This vintage, which is so variable in Pomerol, St.Emilion, and Graves, was fabulous for the late-harvested Cabernet Sauvignon of the northern Medoc because of splendid weather in late September and early October. An opaque purple color is followed by phenomenally sweet, pure aromas of cassis infused with subtle minerals. This massive offering possesses unreal levels of extract, full body, intensely ripe, but abundant tannin, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. Classic and dense, it displays the potential for 50-75 years of longevity. Although still an infant, it would be educational to taste a bottle.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/00 4 bottles $2,600-3,800

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1996 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe “Tasted three times since bottling, the 1996 Lafite-Rothschild is unquestionably this renowned estate’s greatest wine. As I indicated last year, only 38% of the crop was deemed grand enough to be put into the final blend, which is atypically high in Cabernet Sauvignon (83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot). This massive wine may be the biggest, largest-scaled Lafite I have ever tasted. It will require many years to come around, so I suspect all of us past the age of fifty might want to give serious consideration as to whether we should be laying away multiple cases of this wine. It is also the first Lafite-Rothschild to be put into a new engraved bottle (designed to prevent fraudulent imitations). 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. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050. The wine of the vintage?” R. Parker 100 pts. 04/99 12 bottles (owc) $12,000-18,000

A touch of dryness on the back end, tannin to spare and the finish lingers for what seems an eternity.

It never closed up after bottling and remains an exceptionally full-bodied, intensely concentrated, yet welldelineated white Graves. If you have the income of a rock superstar, this would be worth having to fete the turn of the century. Anticipated maturity: Now-2020.” R. Parker, 97 pts. 01/97 9 bottles $3,500-5,000

One of the most seductive Chateau Margauxs given its recent bottling, this blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest tiny quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot should drink beautifully for the next 25-30 years.

Remarkably, a mere 36% of the entire production was selected for the 2008 Chateau Margaux.” R. Parker, 94 pts. 05/11 6 bottles (owc) $2,500-3,500

111.

Chateau Duhart Milon 2008 Pauillac, 4eme Cru Classe “A magnificent sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 Duhart Milon is the shrewd consumer’s wine to purchase by the case as prices do not yet reflect its qualitative resurgence. Composed of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot that came in at 13.09% alcohol, it is a surprisingly intense effort displaying a marvelous texture, plenty of black currant, licorice, unsmoked cigar tobacco and earthy characteristics, a full-bodied mouthfeel and stunning purity as well as density. Enjoy this top-notch 2008 over the next 20-25 years.” R. Parker, 94 pts. 05/11 12 bottles (owc) $800-1,200 112.

Chateau Ausone 2006 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (A) “One of the handful of candidates for wine of the vintage is the 2006 Ausone. In fact, while tasting it, I was thinking, is there any estate in Bordeaux that, since 1998, has made as many legendary wines as proprietor Alain Vauthier has at his beloved Ausone? Boasting an inky/blue/purple color as well as an extraordinary, precise bouquet of minerals, flowers, blueberry liqueur, and black currants, this wine possesses fabulous fruit and great intensity, but what makes it so special is its precision, focus, and almost ethereal lightness despite substantial flavor intensity and depth. It is a ballerina with density and power. The abundant noticeable tannin is sweet and, not surprisingly, very finely grained. It should be cellared for a decade, and consumed over the following half century.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 02/09 6 bottles (owc) $3,500-5,000 Chateau Gracia – A true garagiste effort, Michel Gracia’s tiny 1.9 hectare vineyard produces only a tiny amount of wine annually. Planted on a soil rich with clay and limestone, the vineyard is 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and the balance is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Yields are kept extremely low—just 21 hectoliters per hectare—and the crop is hand-harvested. Gracia subjects the must to cold maceration before fermenting in concrete vats, and aged in new oak barriques on lees for up to two years. In the 1998 vintage, only 350 cases were produced, and one is offered here.

113.

Chateau Gracia 1998 St. Emilion “A spectacular effort, the 1998 exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a gorgeous bouquet of overripe black cherries intermixed with blackberries, blueberries, licorice, and smoky oak. Full-bodied, low in acidity, opulent, fleshy, and undeniably disarming, it offers layers of fruit in addition to sweet tannin in the finish.” R. Parker, 92 pts. 04/01 12 bottles (owc) $700-1,000 A Decade of Conseillante – On offer here is a tight selection of six vintages of Conseillante spanning over a decade of the estate’s production.

Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache 2007 Cote de Nuits “A reserved yet equally kaleidoscopic nose of red, blue and violet aromas that is wonderfully broad, spicy, fresh, airy and layered leads to intensely floral, mineral infused and focused medium weight plus flavors that possess a strikingly attractive mouth feel and while in the context of the pantheon of great vintages of this storied wine, the ‘07 will be viewed as one of the lighter examples, the focus and balance here is nigh on perfect as the finish explodes into a hugely long finale, all underpinned by firm tannins and bright acidity. This may seem to be a lighter vintage but it will require at least 15 years of cellar time before this will be sufficiently civilized to drink with real pleasure and probably 25 before it’s fully resolved. One other point bears mentioning: it’s been a number of vintages since I last saw La Tâche best the RomanéeConti but 2007 may be one of them.” Burghound, 95 pts. 01/10 6 bottles (owc) $6,000-9,000 118.

Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes 2005 Cote de Nuits “All the superb and dramatic complexity that this displayed from barrel has made it into bottle as an extremely ripe and fantastically broad nose soars from the glass, merging seamlessly into dense, pure rich and powerful flavors that are opulent, sweet and dripping with so much extract and sap that the combination stains and saturates the palate on the hugely proportioned yet impeccably balanced finish that is so long that it doesn’t seem possible. 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.

In sum, a ‘wow’ wine that makes you shake your head in sheer amazement. However be aware that this is a buy and forget wine as it will require at least 15 years to shed its considerable tannins and it will see 50 years without difficulty.” Burghound, 99 pts. 01/08 1 bottle $500-700 121.

Michel Lafarge Volnay Clos des Chenes 2006 Cote de Beaune 12 bottles $700-1,000 122.

This is a most impressive, if presently rather austere, effort and if you can find it, buy it - note however that patience will be required as this will require at least a decade to arrive at its peak.”

A compelling nose of roasted herbs, scorched earth, sweet blueberries, plums, black currants, and a hint of graphite is followed by a deep, layered, sumptuously textured, full-bodied HautBrion, but one with extraordinary complexity. This wine seems more evolved and approachable than I had expected it to be at age 10.

My window of maturity seven years ago was 2012-2040, but I would change that to 2010-2050.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/10 1 bottle $450-650 125.

An elegant effort with freshness yet tremendous power and flavor intensity, it is a full-bodied, layered, provocative 2001 with exceptional depth as well as richness. While the tannin levels are high, there are even higher levels of concentration and fruit. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 15-20.

Its stunning purple color is accompanied by exceptionally sweet aromas of blackberry liqueur intermixed with barbecue spices, an endearing, smoky earthiness, pepper, roasted meats, and coffee.

On average, only about 4,000 cases are made each vintage.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2004 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe “This beautiful, stunningly dense purple-colored effort (includes about 90% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers up precise notes of graphite, black cherries, cassis, scorched earth, and minerals. Medium to full-bodied with fabulous fruit, impressive richness, refreshing acidity, and sweet tannin, this beauty should be approachable in 4-5 years, and last for three decades. As Lafite Rothschilds go, this is somewhat of a sleeper vintage.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 06/07 12 bottles (owc) $9,000-13,000 171.

L. Carillon Bienvenue Batard Montrachet 1996 Cote de Beaune “I hadn’t had this wine in almost 4 years and while it is as brilliant as it ever was, the nose was slightly more advanced than I would have guessed but otherwise, the nose had compelling complexity with menthol, anise and clove notes adding nuance to the maturing white flower fruit aromas. The crisp, beautifully delineated middle weight flavors offer real style and breed with the same compelling complexity of the nose and culminates in a finish of superb intensity and length. This is a seriously impressive wine with class to burn. Approachable now but better in two to three years.” Burghound 93 pts. 05/06 2 bottles $600-800 172.

Ramonet Batard Montrachet 1996 Cote de Beaune “Tasting note: (with thanks to David Page). An exceptionally attractive and impressively complex white flower, spice and crushed herb aromas are trimmed in noticeable wood toast and lead to rich, nicely powerful and gorgeously detailed flavors of equally impressive depth and excellent finishing persistence. This is a really lovely if just shy of truly compelling Bâtard that is drinking well now though will continue to hold without difficulty in this format, indeed it should be capable of holding for another 20 years. Tasted twice with consistent notes.” Burghound, 94 pts. 07/08 1 bottle $200-300

Chateau Lynch Bages 1989 Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe u: into neck, five bin-soiled labels “The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but what a great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching the 1989’s extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential.

Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle smoke, oak and graphite. Powerful and rich with some tannins still to shed at age 22, it is still a young adolescent in terms of its evolution and will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring. It should prove to be a 50 year wine.” R. Parker, 99+ pts. 08/11 bottles $1,200-1,800 181.

Since bottling, it has flirted with perfection, and was a sprinter out of the gate, which gave rise to questions about how quickly it would begin its decline. However, at age 27, it retains all its glossy, rich, flamboyant cassis fruit, chocolaty, berry jam-like notes, and plenty of earthy, foresty flavors. This is a full-bodied, extravagantly rich Pichon Lalande seemingly devoid of acidity and tannin, but the wine is incredibly well-balanced and pure. It is an amazing effort!” R.

Haut Brion: 1959 vs. 1961 – Like Sampras vs. Agassi, Leno vs.

Letterman, Martha’s Vineyard vs. Nantucket, so too rages the debate of 1959 vs. 1961 Haut Brion, even half a century later. With two classic vintages so close together, it was inevitable that comparisons would be drawn. Over the years, the other first growths have settled on a favorite: ’61 getting the edge for Latour and Margaux, ’59 for Mouton and Lafite, leaving Haut Brion to settle the score. Alas, in the decades since release, the wines have dueled to a veritable stalemate. Here lies an opportunity to judge for yourself: will it be the seductive rich fruit and chocolate hallmarks of the ’59 or the ethereal, mysterious tobacco and cedar notes of the ’61 that takes home the gold this time?

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1959 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: top shoulder, bin soil “I am always blown away by the 1959 Mouton, one of the greatest Moutons made in the last thirty-five years. Every time I have this wine it is undeniable that Mouton made a richer, more persuasive wine in 1959 than in 1961. Astonishingly young and unevolved, with a black/ purple color, the wine exhibits a youthful nose of cassis, minerals, and new oak. It is exceptionally powerful and super-extracted, with the fruit supported by high levels of tannin and some lusty quantities of alcohol. This mammoth, full-bodied Mouton-Rothschild should continue to evolve for another 20-30 years. It may well be a 100-year wine!” R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/98 1 bottle $1,200-1,800

211.

Chateau Cheval Blanc 1964 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (A) u: top shoulder, light capsule corrosion, torn capsule, bin soil “A blockbuster Cheval Blanc and probably the greatest Cheval Blanc made during the sixties and seventies, this wine still has a dense, murky garnet color and knock-out aromatics of coffee, black fruit, and spice box. The wine is opulent and fleshy with enormous glycerin and power.

It is still very muscular, also with slightly robust tannins to shed, but this wine seems almost immortal in terms of longevity. My best guess is that, from pristinely stored bottles, this wine is still in late adolescence and not yet at its peak of maturity.” Anticipated maturity: Now-2025 R.

Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Romanee Conti 1999 Cote de Nuits Bottle No. 01335 “Vibrant, pure, spicy, distinctly floral and unusually high-toned for the vintage with big, powerful and concentrated almost to the point of painful intensity with its super ripe, palate staining flavors yet this remains regal, almost aloof and quite reserved on the hugely long finish.

The focus is unbelievable and while it’s hard to speak of subtle power, one can sense the vibrancy and depths of reserve that are still only hinted at now even eight years after the vintage. As seductive as the nose is and as awe-inspiring as the flavors are, the finish lasts literally for minutes, indeed I could still taste it the next day and I’ve noticed that this happens every time I am fortunate to have the ‘99. And, difficult as it is to believe, I’m beginning to think that my score is conservative.”

Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Richebourg 1999 Cote de Nuits Bottle Nos. 03023, 03024 “This hasn’t budged much since it was bottled and remains almost black with a notably ripe multidimensional nose of black cherries, spice and earth that complements well the broad-shouldered and impressively scaled medium weight plus flavors that are robust and overtly muscular where the finish retains a sense of robust power and stunning length. At age 11 the ‘99 Richebourg is clearly signaling that it’s going to require 20 to 25 years to really be at its peak. At the same time, there is sufficient mid-palate sap to at least make it approachable sooner, perhaps in 7 to 10 years from now. One of the great vintages for this fabled wine.

There is still a touch of new oak framing the penetrating red and blackberry fruits, vanilla and oriental spice aromas and it continues onto the beautifully detailed and quite robust flavors that deliver excellent precision. This is a big wine with richness, superb length and impressive refinement and it’s clear that this will live for decades.

A. De Luze & Fils Grand Cognac Fine Champagne – Vintage 1820 – In 1817, with an eye towards creating a direct link between France and New York, brothers Alfred and Louis-Philippe established an import agency in New York with a focus on fine produce, wine and cognac. Alfred returned to France and founded A. De Luze & Fils in 1822 in the Grand Champagne region of Cognac to ensure that only the highest quality products would be sent to his brother. Serving as a negociant, business gained momentum over the years and the company purchased their first vineyards – Chateau Paveil in Margaux and Domaine de Chaine in the Grand Champagne region of Cognac – in 1862.

The bottle offered here features the distinctive profile of the De Luze bottle. The cognac itself is from the era of negociant bottling, meaning that while the company did not produce the cognac themselves, it was hand-selected as being of such fine quality that Alfred De Luze was confident bottling it and selling it under his crest. The cognac was most likely bottled in the early 1840s, as cognacs of Grand Fine Champagne distinction are traditionally aged in cask a minimum of 20 years.

This bottle represents a rare opportunity to purchase on the open market one of the oldest examples of a Cognac from this legendary house.

2009 Bordeaux – Delivered moments before we went to press, offered here are three cases of 2009 Bordeaux. As you may have heard, 2009 is considered to be among the greatest vintages of Bordeaux. Not of this young century, not of the past fifty years, no qualifiers—simply one of the best vintages, period. Unprecedentedly perfect weather throughout the growing season led to outstanding ripeness, high tannins, and high acid—all hallmarks of a wine worth aging. As they say, the proof is in the pudding and here are three cases available for investment or for you to age and track their progress through the decades to come. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to acquire classics in the making!

234.

Chateau Montrose 2009 St. Estephe, 2eme Cru Classe “A colossal effort, the 2009 Montrose represents a hypothetical blend of the monumental duo of 1989 and 1990 combined with the phenomenal 2003. With 13.7% alcohol (an all-time high at Montrose), it is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and the rest tiny quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Some structure and minerality can be detected in the background, but the overall impression is one of massive blackberry, black currant and mulberry fruit intermixed with forest floor, damp earth, crushed rocks and a hint of spring flowers.

Full-bodied with sweet but abundant tannin, Jean-Bernard Delmas believes this is the greatest wine he has made during his short tenure at Montrose since retiring from Haut-Brion. This wine will undoubtedly shut down for a decade, then unleash its power, glory and potential perfection.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 02/12 12 bottles $3,000-4,500 235.

Chateau Duhart Milon 2009 Pauillac, 4eme Cru Classe “A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, it displays an inky/blue/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, forest floor, licorice, lead pencil, cedar and subtle barrique smells.

Viscous and full-bodied, it is the most concentrated and broadest example of this cuvee I have tasted in over three decades. It will be ready to drink in 5-7 years and should last for three decades or more.

Consumers looking to maximize value should be checking out Duhart Milon, as this may be the single smartest purchase in this great and historic vintage!” R. Parker, 97 pts. 02/12 12 bottles (owc banded) $800-1,200 236.

Chateau Pontet Canet 2009 Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe “An amazing wine in every sense, this classic, full-bodied Pauillac is the quintessential Pontet Canet from proprietor Alfred Tesseron, who continues to reduce yields and farms his vineyards biodynamically – a rarity in Bordeaux. Black as a moonless night, the 2009 Pontet Canet offers up notes of incense, graphite, smoke, licorice, creme de cassis and blackberries. A wine of irrefutable purity, laser-like precision, colossal weight and richness, and sensational freshness, this is a tour de force in winemaking that is capable of lasting 50 or more years. The tannins are elevated, but they are sweet and beautifully integrated as are the acidity, wood and alcohol (which must be in excess of 14%).

This vineyard, which is situated on the high plateau of Pauillac adjacent to Mouton Rothschild, appears to have done everything perfectly in 2009. This cuvee should shut down in the cellar and re-open in a decade or more.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 02/12 12 bottles $2,400-3,600

Leoville Las Cases (LLC) is a St. Julien in name only—not that there is anything wrong with that. This wine is generally quite well endowed and possessing dramatic depth. LLC is quite a large property on the river side of the north-south road from the city of Bordeaux. Leoville Barton and Leoville Poyferre were cleaved off at various times in history…further validation that this is a most special site (“terrior” in French). -PhM 241.

Chateau Latour 2000 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe “The 2000 Latour (a relatively abundant 14,000 cases compared to what they produced in 2009, 2008, or 2005) is “packed and stacked.”

The extremely rich, black/purple color to the rim is followed by a wine with some subtle smoke, loads of minerals, a hint of vanilla, and plenty of creme de cassis as well as roasted meat and a slight scorched earth character. Broad, savory, and rich, the wine seems to be about 5 years away from full maturity and should drink well for at least 40-50 more years. A great effort, probably eclipsed only by 2003 and 2009.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 06/10 3 bottles $2,000-3,000

242.

Chateau Latour 2003 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe “There are only 10,800 cases (rather than the normal 15,000-20,000) of the 2003 Latour, a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot (13.3% finished alcohol). A prodigious effort, it boasts a saturated purple color as well as a gorgeous perfume of smoke, cedar, creme de cassis, flowers, crushed rocks, and blackberries.

Massive and multi-layered, with huge richness and low acidity, it is about as unctuous as a young Latour can be. It could be compared to the 1982, but it may be even more pure, at least at this early stage, than that monumental wine. The level of intensity builds prodigiously in the mouth, and the finish lasts nearly a minute. Disarmingly accessible (although analytically the tannin level is high), I suspect it will ultimately shut down, but it was performing impeccably when I tasted it.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 04/06 6 bottles (owc) $4,000-6,000

243.

Chateau Margaux 2005 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe “Another celestial effort from Paul Pontallier and Corinne Mentzelopoulus, the 2005 Margaux, a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, boasts a dense opaque blue/purple color as well as an extraordinary bouquet of spring flowers, blueberries, black raspberries, creme de cassis, licorice, and, despite its having spent two years in 100% new wood, only a subtle touch of toasty oak. Although full-bodied, the wine seems light on its feet because of the silky tannins as well as the great gravel terroir from which it comes. Beautiful purity, length, and nobility define this modern day classic. Is it better than the 2000, 1996, 1990, or some of the vintages from the decade of the eighties? Who knows, but it is unquestionably one of the all-time great wines made at Chateau Margaux. This estate has produced only exceptional wines over the last three decades. The seamlessness of the 2005 suggests it will perform well early, but it should last for a half century or more.” R. Parker, 98+ pts. 04/08 6 bottles (owc) $3,500-5,000

244.

Chateau Haut Brion 2000 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe “Its bigger sister, the 2000 Haut-Brion (a blend of 51% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc) showed incredibly at the tasting, and for me is one of the three or four most prodigious wines of the vintage. A compelling nose of roasted herbs, scorched earth, sweet blueberries, plums, black currants, and a hint of graphite is followed by a deep, layered, sumptuously textured, full-bodied HautBrion, but one with extraordinary complexity. This wine seems more evolved and approachable than I had expected it to be at age 10.

My window of maturity seven years ago was 2012-2040, but I would change that to 2010-2050.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/10 3 bottles $1,500-2,200

Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 2000 Pessac Leognan, Cru Classe “The 2000 La Mission Haut-Brion is certainly one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage. Its performance was off-the-charts in two separate tastings for this report. Deep blue/purple, with a nose of creme de cassis, floral scents, graphite, and subtle smoke, the wine is pure, deep, sumptuously textured, full-bodied, powerful (although certainly not at the power level of the amazing 2009). This wine certainly transcends its 13% natural alcohol and has the same level of concentration found in such great vintages of La Mission Haut-Brion as 1989, 1982, 1975, and of course, more recent efforts such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Still young but beginning to display some secondary nuances, the wine has enormous layers of depth as well as an unctuous texture. Even though it is still quite youthful, I believe it will hit its prime in another 3-4 years and last 50 or more. It is certainly a wine that will likely jump dramatically in price once the price of the 2009 is released.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10 3 bottles $1,500-2,000

246.

Chateau Cos d’Estournel 2003 St. Estephe, 2eme Cru Classe “The prodigious, fantastic 2003 Cos d’Estournel is a candidate for “wine of the vintage.” A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon (unusually high for this chateau), 30% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, 17,500 cases were produced from low yields. An inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by a compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, pain grille, incense, and flowers. With extraordinary richness, full body, and remarkable freshness, elegance, and persistence, this is one of the finest wines ever made by this estate. The good news is that it will be drinkable at a young age yet evolve for three decades or more. Kudos to winemaker Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier.” R. Parker, 98 pts.

Chateau Leoville Barton 2000 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe “I found this to be one of the more backward wines of the 2000 vintage and gave it a window of maturity of 2015-2040 when I reviewed it in 2003. In my two recent tastings of it, I changed that window to 2018-2050, which probably says more than the following tasting note could say. This is a behemoth – dense, highly extracted, very tannic, broodingly backward, with a dense purple color and very little evolution since it was bottled 8 years ago. Wonderfully sweet cedar and fruitcake notes are intermixed with hints of creme de cassis, licorice, and earthy forest floor. It is full-bodied and tannic, with everything in place, but like so many wines that come from Leoville Barton, it makes a mockery of many modern-day consumers wanting a wine for immediate gratification. Those who bought it should continue to exercise patience and be proud to own a wonderful classic with five decades of longevity ahead of it.” R. Parker, 95+ pts. 06/10 3 bottles $275-375

248.

Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1982 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe “I have had perfect bottles of this cuvee, but, perplexingly, the bottles from my cellar tend to be broodingly backward and require plenty of coaxing. 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. One wonders how much patience admirers of this brilliant St.-Julien will continue to exhibit.” R. Parker, 95+ pts. 06/09 1 bottle $250-400

249.

Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2000 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe “Along with the Medoc first growths, Leoville Barton, Chateau Montrose, Sociando Mallet, and a handful of other producers, Leoville Las Cases continues to make a wine meant for very long-term cellaring.

When I did my earlier tastings of the 2000, my projected maturity dates were 2012-2040, but it is looking more like 2020-2050. This fullbodied blend of nearly 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.4% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc still has a youthful ruby/purple color, notes of graphite, kirsch liqueur, black currants, and lead pencil shavings, with good acidity, the tell-tale purity, layered ripeness and intensity, and a profound finish. However, with its high level of tannin and brooding backwardness, this superb effort needs to be forgotten for up to a decade.” R. Parker, 98+ pts. 06/10 3 bottles $600-900

250.

Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2000 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe “The plushest, most ostentatious and dramatic of all the Leovilles in 2000, this wine is already sumptuous, displaying some nuances in its huge nose of vanilla bean, black chocolate, jammy black cherries, cassis, and graphite in a flamboyant style. Opulent, savory, rich, and full-bodied, it is a head-turning, prodigious wine and a complete contrast to the extracted behemoth of Leoville Barton and the backward, classic Leoville Las Cases. The Poyferre’s low acidity, sweet tannin and an already gorgeous mouthfeel make it a wine to drink now as well as over the next 25 or more years.” R. Parker, 97 pts. 06/10 4 bottles $400-600

251.

Chateau Montrose 2006 St. Estephe, 2eme Cru Classe “The first vintage under new owner Martin Bouygues, who convinced Jean-Bernard Delmas to come out of retirement to produce this wine, the 2006 Montrose is an undeniable success. A blend of approximately two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, one-third Merlot, and a tiny dollop of Petit Verdot, the most dramatic difference between the 2006, and wines made by the previous administration is that Jean Delmas produces wines with sweeter, silkier tannins, although analytically, they are as high as those found in the great Montrose vintages of the past. The 2006 is extraordinarily elegant and finesse-styled, but it exhibits stunningly concentrated, sweet blackberry and cassis fruit with hints of flowers and minerals. Full-bodied with a savory, expansive mid-palate as well as sweet, noble tannins, this beauty will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 20-25+ years.” R.

Chateau Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1982 Pauillac, 2eme Cru Classe “One of the monumental wines of the last century is the 1982 Pichon Lalande. Since bottling, it has flirted with perfection, and was a sprinter out of the gate, which gave rise to questions about how quickly it would begin its decline. However, at age 27, it retains all its glossy, rich, flamboyant cassis fruit, chocolaty, berry jam-like notes, and plenty of earthy, foresty flavors. This is a full-bodied, extravagantly rich Pichon Lalande seemingly devoid of acidity and tannin, but the wine is incredibly well-balanced and pure. It is an amazing effort!” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/09 1 bottle $400-600 253.

Chateau Palmer 2000 Margaux, 3eme Cru Classe “One of the sexiest wines for drinking now and over the next 10-15 years is undoubtedly the 2000 Palmer. A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, the wine has an almost exotic floral nose, soft, undulating tannins, and tremendous opulence and flesh, with a full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins, and loads of floral notes intermixed with blue and black fruits as well as hints of smoke and incense in its complex aromatics. This wine is drinking beautifully and should continue to do so for up to two more decades.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 06/10 3 bottles $600-900 254.

Chateau Pape Clement Rouge 2005 Pessac Leognan, Cru Classe “Probably the greatest Pape-Clement ever made, the dense purplecolored 2005 (a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits sumptuous notes of smoky scorched earth, graphite, melted licorice, and blackberries. Once past the exquisite perfume, the wine reveals full body, extraordinary concentration, plenty of chocolate, smoke, cassis, and blackberry flavors, and that unmistakable volcanic ash-like earthiness that comes from this appellation. The tannins are slightly sweeter than those found in most northern Medocs, but this is still a backward, large-scaled effort that requires 7-8 years of cellaring. It should last for 30-35 years.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 04/08 6 bottles (owc) $600-900

257.

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2008 Cote de Nuits “This is also quite reserved at present with an elegant, airy, cool and pure nose that is kaleidoscopically complex as it offers red currant, plum, black cherry and a panoply of floral and spice notes, in particular violet and anise, before marrying seamlessly into mineral-driven and alluring big-bodied flavors that explode on the powerful and almost painfully intense finish that delivers genuinely stunning length. I love the way Musigny can so effortlessly combine a silky palate impression with serious muscle. This should be quite impressive in time though note that it will need a minimum of 18 to 25 years of cellar time.” Burghound, 96 pts. 01/11 6 bottles $2,000-3,000 258.

Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Beze 2005 Cote de Nuits “As aromatically complex as the Clos des Cortons is, the Clos de Bèze goes it one better with a dazzling array of spice, earth, mineral, fruit and subtle floral aromas that change every few seconds but continue onto the elegant, pure, transparent and vibrant flavors that possess superb power and striking depth of material on the unbelievably long finish. This is also quite firmly structured but completely balanced and the flavors are the perfect example of the term power without weight. A monument in the making but a wine for the patient.” Burghound, 95-97 pts. 01/07 6 bottles (owc) $1,200-1,800 260.

The wine is massive and full-bodied yet neither over the top nor heavy because of good acidity. With intense botrytis as well as a 70-75-second finish, this amazing Sauternes will be its apogee between 2010-2035.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/04 3 bottles $300-500

Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots du Milieu 2005 Cote de Beaune “A perfectly ripe, expressive and wonderfully fresh nose of deeply pitched cherry, spice and violet aromas that are more elegant still as they announce rich, full, sweet and velvety mouth coating flavors that offer outstanding detail and superb depth of material on the strikingly long finish. There is a gorgeously appealing sense of harmony here with really lovely transparency.

Bouchard Pere & Fils Le Corton 2005 Cote de Beaune “A brooding nose with almost no discernable wood influence of very ripe and moderately earthy aromas where the earth continues onto the rich, ripe and impressively dense flavors that also are textured and palate drenching supported by buried yet relatively fine tannins that are rendered almost completely invisible by the superb level of dry extract.

This is a big bad boy fashioned in classic old school Corton style with huge aging potential.” Burghound, 93-95 pts. 04/07 6 bottles (owc) $400-600 264.

Bouchard Pere & Fils Volnay Caillerets Cuvee Carnot 2005 Cote de Beaune “Well integrated wood sets off the violet and blackberry suffused nose that is both elegant and exceptionally pure, complementing the detailed, minerally and balanced flavors that are supple, sweet and intense, all wrapped in a wonderfully concentrated and hugely long finish. This has that ‘wow’ factor as it positively explodes in the mouth with a palate coating texture.” Burghound, 94 pts. 04/07 12 bottles (owc) $800-1,200 265.

Drouhin Grands Echezeaux 2005 Cote de Nuits “This is usually a very fine but rarely profound example of the appellation but in 2005 it absolutely leaves in the dust its usual quality level and it was without question the biggest, and best, surprise of my visit chez Drouhin. A touch of wood toast frames the elegant, pure, intense and gorgeously spicy black pinot fruit that complements perfectly the big, robust, sweet and large-scaled flavors that are underpinned by very firm buried tannins and sensational length. Like the Griotte, this has that that ‘wow’ factor and then some. Quite simply put, this is reference standard juice in 2005. Don’t miss it and it is a wine that I will be putting in my cellar.” Burghound, 96 pts. 04/07 6 bottles (oc) $1,500-2,500 266.

A really beautiful effort that will age for decades.” Burghound, 94 pts.

Claude Dugat Charmes Chambertin 2005 Cote de Nuits “A very ripe, expressive and pungent nose of plum, spice and earth combines with extremely rich and full-bodied flavors that are intense, textured and palate staining supported by buried tannins and outstanding length. While it must be said that this is not a particularly elegant wine, it is dramatic and built for long aging. In sum, this is a big Charmes constructed in the style of Roty.” Burghound, 94 pts. 01/08 3 bottles $800-1,200 270.

Bernard Dugat-Py Charmes Chambertin 2005 Cote de Nuits “An extremely ripe yet remarkably nuanced and highly complex nose features earthy and spicy fresh red pinot fruit, dried rose petal and violet notes that dissolve into rich, full and sweet broad-scaled flavors possessing serious amounts of dry extract on the palate drenching and hugely long finish imbued with bitter chocolate hints. For such a big wine this is beautifully well-balanced and possesses simply fabulous raw materials. A stunner of a wine that has everything it needs for 30 plus years of life.” Burghound, 95 pts. 01/08 3 bottles $1,000-1,500 271.

Bernard Dugat-Py Mazis Chambertin 2005 Cote de Nuits “A gorgeously nuanced and expansive nose of ripe and spicy dark berry fruit, animale, intense earth and underbrush notes that can also be found on the concentrated, intense and well-muscled flavors that are also blessed with unbelievable dry extract that lends a chewy but not rustic character to the vibrant, harmonious and strikingly long finish. This is very tightly structured with dense but fine tannins that are completely buffered by all of the dry extract yet it’s abundantly clear that this will be a long distance runner. A wine that has that rare “wow” factor.” Burghound, 94-97 pts. 01/07 3 bottles $1,200-1,800 272.

Mugneret Gibourg Clos Vougeot 2005 Cote de Nuits “As with many examples of young Clos de Vougeot, this is usually fairly reticent on the nose yet in ‘05 the nose is already expressive and bright with earthy red berry fruit aromas trimmed in a discreet touch of wood spice that is in keeping with the austere but centered full-bodied and tautly muscled flavors that possess at once power and detail on the stunningly long finish. This is brimming with dry extract and so much sap that the structural elements are almost invisible yet underneath all the sap is the spine to allow this to blossom and develop for the next twenty years. A great Mugneret Clos de Vougeot and definitely one to search for, just know that ample patience will be required.” Burghound, 94 pts. 01/08 1 bottle $200-300

Jean Grivot Clos Vougeot 2005 Cote de Nuits “Here the nose is much more deeply pitched with attractively spiced aromas that include iron-infused warm earth notes as well as animale and underbrush hints that lead to delicious, powerful and youthfully austere big-bodied flavors blessed with ample dry extract and a linear, concentrated and driving finish. There is real energy here and while the tannins are a bit brut at the moment, this is actually fairly refined as young Clos de Vougeot typically presents itself. Worth a close look as there is real depth here.” Burghound, 94 pts. 01/08 3 bottles $400-600

281.

William Fevre Chablis Les Clos 2006 Chablis “An airy, expressive and ultra refined and pure nose trimmed in very subtle wood notes offer up aromas of white flower, quinine, saline, minerals and seashore nuances that give way to rich and robust, indeed huge flavors that are perhaps a bit less refined than those of the Valmur or Preuses but there is another dimension here of depth that more than compensates. A great wine with a long future that should develop slowly yet because of all the mid-palate fat, be enjoyable young.”

Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges Les St Georges 2005 Cote de Nuits “As it always is, this is certainly more elegant and slightly more complex as well than the Vaucrains with dense but pretty red fruit aromas that introduce pure and refined medium full flavors that are complex and balanced on the gorgeously long finish. This is brimming with potential as well and while it too will require plenty of patience, its class and grace could allow it to be approached in its youth and then a few years later as it ages. In a word, brilliant.” Burghound, 94 pts. 01/08 6 bottles $500-750

However, as it always does, the tannins will come out with time and I expect that this will always have a certain chewy quality and will require more than a decade of time in bottle to really begin to round out. Wonderful potential but for the very patient.” Burghound, 93 pts. 01/08 6 bottles $350-500

Marquis d’Angerville Volnay Champans 2005 Cote de Beaune “A raspberry liqueur nose with hints of spice and underbrush merges into fresh, ripe, round and sweet flavors of surpassing intensity and purity that tighten up in a flash to become tight and linear on the precise, even laser-like finish. There is a beautiful tension to this wine and while there is a serious tannic backbone, this seems supple on the mid-palate because the structure is so well buffered. This too will see its 25th birthday (and many more) in superb condition.” Burghound, 93-95 pts. 04/07 6 bottles $600-900

Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo 2003 Southern Rhone “For the fourth time, the Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo has been produced, and for the fourth time, it has received a perfect score although I might back off the 2000’s perfect score based on the fact that it seems to be more of an upper-ninety point wine than pure perfection these days. The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo has distanced itself ever so slightly from the 2003 Cuvee Reservee. Before bottling and immediately after bottling, these two wines’ differences were not as evident. At present the Capo reveals that extra level of flavor, power, complexity and richness. It is a big wine (16.1% alcohol – less than in the 1998, but more than in the 2000 and 2007) boasting a dark plum/garnet color as well as a stunning bouquet of aged beef intermixed with pepper, herbes de Provence, and steak au poivre. This unctuously textured, full-bodied Chateauneuf possesses enormous body, huge flavors and sweet, velvety tannins. Still youthful, it has not yet begun to close down, and I’m not sure it ever will given this unusual vintage. It is a modern day classic that should continue to provide provocative as well as compelling drinking for 20-30+ years” R. Parker, 100 pts. 10/10 3 bottles $1,000-1,500

Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee 2003 Southern Rhone “The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee stands out as one of the all-time great wines made by Laurence Feraud and her father, Paul.

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. It should continue to drink well for another 25 years. “ R. Parker, 98 pts. 10/10 6 bottles $400-600 288.

Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape 2001 Southern Rhone “Beaucastel has been on a terrific qualitative roll over the last four vintages, and the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape (which Francois Perrin feels is similar to the 1990, although I don’t see that as of yet) is a 15,000-case blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and the balance split among the other permitted varietals of the appellation. This inky/ruby/purple-colored cuvee offers a classic Beaucastel bouquet of new saddle leather, cigar smoke, roasted herbs, black truffles, underbrush, and blackberry as well as cherry fruit.

It is a superb, earthy expression of this Mourvedre-dominated cuvee.

Full-bodied and powerful, it will undoubtedly close down over the next several years, not to re-emerge for 7-8 years. “ R. Parker, 96 pts. 02/04 4 bottles $250-400 289.

2007 Chateauneuf du Pape – Widely considered to be among the greatest modern vintages in the southern Rhone, 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape has taken the wine market by storm. A cool growing season coupled with harsh drought and lengthy periods of cool, northern winds led to levels of concentration rarely seen in the southern Rhone. The end result are wines of extraordinary complexity, depth and intensity, tempting and approachable in their youth but a patient connoisseur will be rewarded if they can resist the urge for half a decade.

Mas de Boislauzon Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet 2007 Southern Rhone “The biggest surprise in these tastings was the phenomenal performance of the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet.

Normally a blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Mourvedre, the 2007’s composition changed to 80% Grenache (all aged in tank) and 20% Mourvedre (aged in small oak barrels.) This wine literally blew me away. Since this is a PG-rated publication, I can not print my original comments upon tasting this wine. Let’s just say the exquisite aromatics were astounding. They include creme de cassis, lavender, roasted meats, new saddle leather, and spice box. The phenomenal aromatics were matched by equally compelling flavors, texture, and purity. Offering a thrill a second, this full-bodied wine exhibits awesome concentration, impeccable balance, and a finish that lasts nearly 60 seconds. I had a difficult time spitting out this amazing elixir, and I kept returning to it during the course of the morning tasting just to confirm my initial impression. The good news is about 500 cases were produced. It should drink well for two decades or more.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 10/09 6 bottles $800-1,200 294.

Domaine Charvin Chateauneuf du Pape 2007 Southern Rhone “I believe the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape 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 45to 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. With fabulous density, a multidimensional mouthfeel, and a 45+-second finish this brilliant, elegant, feminine-styled wine is loaded with concentration and intensity. Like many 2007 Chateauneuf du Papes, the extraordinary fruit level makes it hard to resist. However, it will be even better in 3-5 years, and should last for 15-20.” R. Parker, 97 pts. 10/09 12 bottles $500-700 295.

Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape, Vieilles Vignes 2007 Southern Rhone “The perfect 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (tasted on four separate occasions) is composed of 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre and other authorized varietals from 60- to 100+-year-old vines. The wine is aged in both tank (75%) and small oak barrels (25%). Its inky/purple color is followed by a phenomenal nose of spring flowers, creme de cassis, blackberries, boysenberries, licorice, truffles, and spice. Displaying massive body, incredible freshness, laserlike focus from the excellent acids, and a finish that goes on well past a minute, this prodigious Chateauneuf du Pape is the most extraordinary wine yet made at this estate. While accessible (as most 2007s are), ideally it needs 4-5 years of cellaring, and should keep for three decades.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 10/09 6 bottles $1,200-1,800

Philipponnat Brut Clos des Goisses 1996 Mareuil-sur-Ay “One of the greatest examples of the ‘96 vintage, this wine has it all with elegance, intensity, subtlety and grace, not to mention buckets of unrealized potential that will enable this beauty to improve for at least another decade and perhaps longer. I can only imagine just how good this would be from magnum format! The nose is discreet, reserved and pure with lemon, green apple and layers upon layers of fruit framed by just the right amount of yeast influence that continues onto the exceptionally dry and tight flavors that are crisp and refined as well as superbly intense yet through it all there is this underlying sense of harmony, as though all of the elements are working in concert. The greatest wines, at least those cut from classical cloth, persuade through the subtlest means and so it is with the ‘96 Goisses, which is indeed a great wine by any measure. While it is drinkable now, for my taste preferences a lot of potential would be left in the glass and I wouldn’t start in earnest on this for another 5+ years.” Burghound, 97 pts. 10/07 3 bottles $400-600

Initially linear on entry, it explodes on the palate with a compelling array of dark fruit, smoke, tar, licorice, new leather, plums and baking spices.

Although Bric del Fiasc is typically a wine that relies on power, the 2004 is notably refined and elegant, with sweet silky tannins that support the fruit from start to finish. Simply put, this is a remarkable wine from Enrico Scavino.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 96 pts. 12/07 6 bottles $400-600

Ornellaia 2006 Tuscany “The 2006 Ornellaia (magnum) is a massive, towering masterpiece.

There is awesome depth and richness to be found in the glass. Flowers, minerals, tar smoke and dark fruit are all woven in an intricate fabric of almost indescribable elegance and power. Tonight the 2006 Ornellaia is absolutely moving in its beauty and expressiveness. Vintage 2006 will go down as one of the all-time greats in Tuscany, and Bolgheri in particular, as all of that region’s benchmark wines are spectacular. The 2006 shows the intensity of the small berries that were harvested that year, with exceptional concentration, acidity and freshness, qualities that are precious and exceedingly rare when they are found in a single wine.

In 2006 the final blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Simply put, the 2006 Ornellaia is a must-have bottle.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 97 pts. 01/10 3 bottles $300-450 314.

Sassicaia 2006 Tuscany “The 2006 Sassicaia may very well go down as one of the all-time great recent vintages for this Tuscan thoroughbred. The year started off very warm but by August evening temperatures had moderated, leaving the fruit with a stunning combination of ripeness, perfume, acidity and tannin. The wine is simply glorious, that’s all there is to it. Layers of dark fruit meld into smoke, leather, violets, menthol, earthiness and tar as this profound wine opens up in the glass. The creamy, silky finish lasts an eternity, as waves of fruit caress the tannins with breathtaking elegance. Everything is in the right place in this magical Sassicaia. This is one for the ages. In a word: Awesome.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 97 pts. 08/09 1 magnum $250-400 315.

Mas Doix Priorat Costers de Vinyes Velles 2005 Priorat “The 2005 Costers de Vinas Viejas is aged for 16 months in new French oak. The wine is a blend of 50% Carinena, 48% Garnacha, and 2% Merlot. Purple-colored, it has an other-worldly perfume of pain grille, grilled meat, spice cabinet, espresso, mineral, wild blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by a powerful, masculine, intense Priorat with gobs of flavor, 8-10 years of cellaring potential, and a very long finish.”

Screaming Eagle 2009 Napa “The 2009 Screaming Eagle is insanely beautiful. It is a relatively open vintage that nevertheless possesses stunning intensity, depth and elegance. Dark red berries, flowers, mint and spices are all woven together beautifully. Layers of fruit build effortlessly to the long, seductive finish. The 2009 continues to flesh out in the glass. All of the elements are in the right place in the drop-dead gorgeous, stunning 2009. A haunting bouquet reminiscent of a great Musigny lingers on the finish.” A. Galloni for R.

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. While it has been fully mature for a number of years, it does not reveal any bricking at the edge, and I suspect it will stay at this level for another 10-15 years ... but why wait? It is irresistible now.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 06/09 2 bottles $850-1,200

This is very classy juice offering impressive depth and a classic Richebourg drinking experience. There is the barest trace of finishing rusticity though the tannins are clearly finer than either the Ech, Grands Ech or RSV. This has always been one of my favorite vintages for DRC’s Richebourg and this bottle was in perfect condition.

An outstanding wine that is drinking perfectly. Several examples tasted though with variable results. The bottle reviewed here is the best of any that I have tried but in general, the notes are very consistent.”

I like the overall balance and harmony of expression and this should be capable of a decade of improvement though it will certainly be approachable before that.” Burghound 98-91 pts. 01/05 3 bottles $200-300

Rare Burgundy – The below four bottles are a rare opportunity to purchase Burgundy bottled by an Edinburgh firm. Hill Thompson was a well-known blender of Scotch whisky and the originator of the “Something Special” blended whisky. In 1970, the merchant was folded into The Glenlivet & Glen Grant distilleries. More likely than not, the firm purchased this Beaune Superior and bottled the wine themselves, using the cask to mature their whisky. The wines were removed from their original wooden case, wrapped in straw and tissue.

The wine is opulent and fleshy with enormous glycerin and power.

It is still very muscular, also with slightly robust tannins to shed, but this wine seems almost immortal in terms of longevity. My best guess is that, from pristinely stored bottles, this wine is still in late adolescence and not yet at its peak of maturity.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 94 pts 05/08 9 bottles $550-850 345.

Ullage (Level of Wine) Illustration and Interpretations For Bordeaux, Port, and other shouldered bottles n. bn. vts. ts. hs. ms. lms. s.

ullage is into neck bottom neck very top shoulder top shoulder; usual level for Bordeaux older than 15 yrs high shoulder; usual cork reduction, often found in Bordeaux over 20 yrs, low risk mid shoulder; variation likely as indicates cork deterioration low mid shoulder; some risks, reflected in estimates shoulder; risky, reflected in estimates into neck bottom neck very top shoulder top shoulder high shoulder mid shoulder low mid shoulder shoulder

Ullage of wines of vintages fifteen years and younger may be assumed to be of bottom neck or better unless otherwise noted.

Similarly, regarding older vintages, lack of notation indicates acceptable and appropriate ullage, clear label and sound cork; potential bidders must be prepared for reasonable variations in ullage in all vintages older than 15 years. Bidders with specific condition questions should contact the Fine Wines department. Conditions generally not noted on group lots.

Bordeaux wines are catalogued referencing the 1855 classification. Chateau Petrus cataloguing reflects the practice of granting it 1er Cru Classe and other notable Pomerol Chateaux are designated Cru Classe. All Bordeaux wines may assume to be chateau bottled unless otherwise stated.

It is standard practice for Skinner/Lower Falls Wine to open all original wooden cases (owc) for visual inspection. The opening of banded cases will be determined on an individual basis.

For Burgundy, German wines and all other more gradually slope-shouldered bottles, the ullage measurement is taken in centimeters from cork base, e.g. 3cm, 5cm, 7cm.

Bottle Sizes bottle (750 ml) magnum (2xbt) marie jeanne (3xbt) double magnum (4xbt)

jeroboam (4xbt); Burgundy, Champagne jeroboam (6xbt); Bordeaux imperiale (8xbt); Bordeaux

methuselah (8xbt); Burgundy

demi bottle (demi) split (1/4 bottle) Champagne

Buyers’ Caution: Levels are as when catalogued; ullage may change due to cork deterioration; other bottle conditions may occur during storage and shipment. Risk of ullage variation and cork deterioration and/or failure is assumed by the buyer at time of sale and no sale cancellations, price negotiations, or bottle substitutions will be undertaken by either Skinner or Lower Falls Wine.

Similarly, no substitutions will be made due to inaccurate descriptions.

Flights of Lots: Are of the same type, vintage and bottle count and follow one after another numerically, though ullage and bottle conditions may vary. The auctioneer may exercise discretion to offer, in consecutive lot order and at that same price, the following lots in the flight to the first successful bidder of that flight. Subsequently, those lots not purchased will be offered anew and so on.

Absentee bids placed on any lot in a flight will be applied to the next lot in the flight (if unsuccessful), until the flight concludes.

Environmental Note: It has only been in the last 15-20 years that the wine industry has moved away from using lead capsules to cover the cork and neck of a bottle. When opening an older wine, if you do have a lead capsule, give consideration as to how you dispose of it.
