A saturated purple/black in color, this glass-coating effort has a nose of wood smoke, bacon, mineral, and blueberry that leaps from the glass. Rich and intense on the palate, it has layers of flavor, excellent balance, and a pure finish. It way over-delivers for its humble price.

469 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2006cuvée de la Reine de Bois, Domaine de la Mordoree2lbsl, 1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2006 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée de La Reine des Bois is a big, ripe and muscular effort that doesn't lack for texture or richness. Giving up plenty of blackberry, charcoal, ground herbs, licorice and beef broth-like notes, this puppy offers a mouthful of fruit and texture to go with serious underlying depth and tannin structure.

It's certainly one of the top 10 wines or so in the vintage and will have over two decades of ultimate longevity."(95pts)5 bottles per lot $450-550

516 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2004La Poderina2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino presents a remarkable balance of ripe fruit, structure and freshness. Violets, dark cherries, new leather and spices are all woven together in an elegant fabric of notable class. The purity of the fruit is superb and the finish boasts tons of finesse, with silky tannins that frame the close. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $450-500

522 Nemo - Vintage 2004Monsanto2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"In 2004 the Nemo (Cabernet Sauvignon) shares a lot of stylistic qualities with Il Poggio. It is more varietally expressive than the 2003 Nemo tasted alongside it, with dark cherries, menthol, spices and sweet herbs that flow from its powerful, layered frame. It reveals considerable depth not to mention tons of potential although it comes across as somewhat reticent today. Though not inexpensive in absolute terms I would be hard pressed to name another Tuscan wine that delivers this level of quality and pure drinking pleasure for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $400-500

PARCEL LOTS 566-567

566 Villa Fidelia - Vintage 2007Sportoletti2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The estate's flagship 2007 Villa Fidelia is a serious wine bursting with mocha, roasted coffee beans, French oak, leather, licorice, spices that add considerable complexity to the dark, inky fruit. This super-rich, concentrated red is showing beautifully today, but ideally it needs another few years in bottle. Villa Fidelia is Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 12 months in 100% new French oak."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $350-420

574 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2004Corte Pavone, Tenute Loacker2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is a fresh, vibrant offering bursting with dark cherries, violets, underbrush, minerals and sweet toasted oak on a medium-bodied frame. The wine reveals terrific balance in an energetic, focused style, with firm yet ripe tannins.

The finish is long, clean and refreshing. This is a gorgeous effort from Loacker. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2019."(91pts)12 bottles per lot $400-480

634 Volnay - Vintage 2014Les Taillepeids, Domaine de Montille1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"An overtly floral-inflected nose displays a lovely, fresh and again cool array of spice, red pinot fruit and a hint of wet stone.

Ripe, decadent and supple, it has boatloads of honeycomb, caramelized citrus, brioche and ripe tropical fruits to go with a gorgeously textured feel on the palate. I suspect it's best consumed over the coming year or two or cellared for 5-6 years."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $950-1300

A blend of 56% Syrah, 26% Grenache, 11% Mourvedre and 7% Tempranillo, it has loads of chocolaty black fruits, licorice, tar, pepper and chalky minerality to go with a great palate.

It is a chewy, structured wine, large-scaled, full-bodied but tannic, although not as backward as the Turner (no doubt because it possesses more richness and density).

The palate is medium-bodied with super fine, almost filigree tannin that seem to caress the senses. It constitutes the most sophisticated of Drouhin's 2015s with ineffable finesse on the finish that lingers so long in the mouth.

Though medium-bodied, it offers tremendous opulence, concentration and length on the palate, with waves of ripe, sweet red and black fruit, menthol, and mineral flavors and a soft, generous texture.

Its inky purple color is followed by almost cool climate-like aromas and flavors of black cherries, white pepper, bacon and hints of game. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless and silky Syrah that really shows the cooler nature of the vintage.

All Syrah in 2012 and showing the house style perfectly, it has a saturated inky color to go with a forward, sexy, meaty and full-bodied array of creme de cassis, licorice, chocolate and licorice. Showing how good 2012 was for this estate, it's a rock-star wine to enjoy while you wait for his 2010s and 2011s to come around."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400

blue and red pinot fruit that offers up notes of natural spice, underbrush, earth and a hint of violets that dissolve into equally earthy, serious and intensely sauvage big-bodied flavors that culminate in a robust and muscled finish that delivers excellent length.

4502 Arietta Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2010(Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa from proprietor Fritz Hatton is another winner.

Black fruit, cassis, licorice and spice box all jump from the glass in an intense Cabernet full of personality. The 2009 is loaded with tremendous potential, but its best days are still at least a few years away. This full-bodied, rich,

enveloping wine is striking today. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029."(95+pts)3 bottles per lot $500-700

There is excellent detail and volume to the mineral-inflected big-bodied flavors that possess a sleek muscularity on the moderately austere and hugely long finish."(93-95pts BH)3 magnums per lot $4000-6000

I like the balance and the underlying material and provided that you have the patience to wait at least 10 years this should be first-rate."(92-95pts BH)1 Jeroboam per lot $2600-3500

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

Grand Vin, State Lane Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Another impressive 2011 full of potential, the Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin is impeccable in its balance and overall sense of harmony. Violets, dark berries and chocolate wrap around the layered, sensual finish. This is far from an easygoing 2011. It will be interesting to see if the 2011 softens and/or fleshes out over time.

Grand Vin, State Lane Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Always an exceptional cuvée, there are 900 cases of the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin, which is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. In 2015 there were 700 cases. This wine is even softer than the 2015, perhaps slightly less concentrated, but still at the top of the qualitative hierarchy in Napa Valley, with its terrific purity, nose of licorice, camphor, forest floor, blackcurrant and cedar wood. It is gorgeously fruited, full-bodied, but super-well-balanced. This is a beauty that can be drunk early, or cellared for another 25-30 years."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $500-650

5156 Henry's Drive Reserve Shiraz - Vintage 2000Padthaway(Wines Located in New York)"The 2000 Shiraz Reserve (a selection of the finest barrels that has been aged in 100% new American oak for 13 months) displays the extraordinary fruit quality achieved by South Australia's top vineyards. The color is opaque blue/purple. The aromatics reveal gorgeous scents of blackberries, blueberries, cassis, pepper, licorice, and new oak. Formidably concentrated, extremely full-bodied and opulent, it is a fabulously concentrated, hedonistic effort. This is what "pleasure" drinking is all about. Forget terroir, and all the pseudo intellectuals with their phony rhetoric about transparency, and criticism of wines that "taste too good." This is uncompromised, unadulterated, pure pleasure. Drink it over the next 7-10 years."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $30-50

5158 Henry's Drive Reserve Shiraz - Vintage 2001Padthaway(Wines Located in New York)"Some might feel the 2001 Shiraz Reserve is too much of a good thing, but it is neither port-like, pruny, nor flat. It is simply crammed with concentrated blackberry and cassis fruit in an obvious but spectacularly textured style. It possesses considerable nuances. Loaded and thick, with low acidity and huge amounts of tannin, all concealed by lavish quantities of fruit and extract, this stunning wine can be drunk now, but should age effortlessly for 7-10 years, possibly longer. No one really knows for sure given the fact that these are young vines and moderately high tonnage."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $50-60

5225 Saxum Red - Vintage 2014G2(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted just after bottling and a final blend of 58% Mourvedre and 42% Grenache, the 2014 G2 Vineyard comes from a site just to the southeast of James Berry (this was formerly known as Gravity Hills Vineyard) that was planted in the late 1990s. The first release from Justin from this site, this beauty sports a deep ruby/purple color as well as a gorgeous, layered bouquet of cured meats, spice, mulled dark fruits, graphite and loads of this chalky minerality that also emerges on the palate. Rich, full-bodied, ultra-pure and impeccably balanced, this seamless, full-bore beauty will need 2-3 years to really shine, and keep for a decade or more after that."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

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

than Virgile's other crus at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy, vibrant opening.

It has a rather conservative nose, earthy compared to others, more Morey-like in style than Chambolle -- a leitmotif of this appellation, perhaps. The palate is structured with grippy, slightly chalky tannin. It feels quite compact in the mouth, masculine and a touch austere, though there is sufficient freshness on the finish to suggest that it will drink well over the next 5-6 years."(86-88pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

I see a floral character that might be attributed to the Garnacha, but whatever it is, this is a wine of marked personality, combining ripe and elegant aromas and flavors with the attractive suppleness of the blueberries, meaty tannins and delicate aromas of violets and dry roses. The palate shows very good balance and stuffing, with very fine, sophisticated tannins. A great, different Ribera. Bravo! Drink 2014-2021."(94pts)4 bottles per lot $350-500

The wine has a fabulous opaque purple color, notes of blackberry, blueberry and cassis, licorice, graphite and truffle.

5709 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2014Nathan Coombs1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Having tasted this wine since the inaugural 2012 vintage, one of the aspects I most love about this vineyard is how clearly it stands stylistically apart from Paul Hobbs' St. Helena and Oakville single-vineyard wines with red fruits entering the mélange, this incredible energy plus a very particular tannin texture and yet the quality is right up there on the same par. Containing a dollop (2%) of Cabernet Franc, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Nathan Coombs Estate has a deep garnet-purple color and a vibrant nose of red currant and red plum compote, blackberry preserves and mulberries with underlying suggestions of garrigue, Mediterranean herbs, damp earth, lavender and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the tannins on this wine are oh-so-finely pixelated, with a refreshing backbone cutting through the intense flavor layers, finishing with an invigorating lift. I could sit down and drink this right now, but it promises much more to come with 10-15 years cellaring and should hold considerably longer."(97+pts)6 bottles per lot $1400-1800

5741 Warre's Tawny Port - Vintage NV20 Year, Otima2ts (Wines Located in New York)"The NV Otima 20 Year Old Tawny Port was tasted from a typical 500ml bottle, this bottling from 2014. Symington/Warre's also makes a "regular" 20-year-old tawny (to which I would give the nod), but they are intended to be very different styles. Rui Ribeiro at Symington Family Estates said to me: "They are two different wines, coming from different blends..Different lot selections and different barrels. We have a specific aging lot for Otima which differs from the normal Warre tawny lot...The Warre's 20YO tawny is a classic profile, showing a bit more nuttiness and wood notes, warmer palate perception (comparing with OT20). OTIMA 20 is probably the most elegant wine in the category, evident freshness on the nose, really elegant

palate, great acidity and a completely clean and integrated finish." That is a pretty good summary, for better or worse. This is indeed remarkably elegant and refreshing for a 20, dancing on the palate with light footsteps. That also means it is far better on the nose than the palate, though. It seems sunny and bright, but it doesn't show the concentration of flavor, tension on the finish or even the intense aromatics that the best 20s can. For many, it will be just what they want, something fresh and lively, but it is a bit underwhelming. That said, it certainly enlivens the palate and it is remarkably easy and fun to drink. Plus, after it was open for a few days (who says they don't change?), it began to show more of those classic, mature Tawny nuances, certainly more than were there initially. Take note, though: it is still Port, there is a lot of alcohol, even if it controls the perceptible spirit influence very well, and it will knock you on your butt if you drink too much. You'll want to do exactly that it goes down easy and tastes great."(90pts)2 500mls per lot $60-80

The Tortoniano deftly balances richness and concentration with what is essentially a fairly medium-bodied style.

The wine reveals outstanding depth and length in a mid-weight style, with a refined, poised finish and lovely overall balance. Another year or so in bottle should help smooth the tannins, but in this vintage the French oak (30% new) seems much better integrated than it has been in the past.

The wine reveals the classic cassis, mineral, weedy tobacco, spicy nose of a top Pauillac. Full-bodied, concentrated, and close to full maturity, it is a flavorful, expansive, chewy wine. Although it has been distressingly inconsistent in previous tastings, I am convinced the off bottles had been cooked - undoubtedly by exposure to high temperatures.

The Schraders have a long-term lease on 5 acres, which, added to their 16 acres of Beckstoffer To Kalon and 5 acres of Beckstoffer George III, gives them some pretty serious leases on some of the finest terroirs in Napa Valley. The softest wine of this portfolio, there are 350 cases of the 2011 LPV, far less than the 600 cases produced in 2012. Given its warm micro-climated, these grapes were picked before the rains descended. The wine exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, supple tannins, and sweet red and black currants, licorice, Christmas fruitcake, incense and forest floor.

6576 Pax Syrah - Vintage 2002Griffin's Lair(Wines Located in New York)"Wild blueberry and floral aromas give it a distinctive style.

It is not a far-fetched comparison to call this Napa Valley Cheval Blanc, although that wine is a nearly equal part blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon rather than Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

6848 Barolo - Vintage 1997Bussia Soprana, A. Conternosdc (Wines Located in New York)"This wine is freakishly fat, ripe, and extremely high in tannin. It is a bizarre vintage, but give me this kind of eccentricity every year and I would be set for life. The gigantic dark ruby/purple-colored 1997 Barolo Bussia Soprana possesses lots of structure, muscle, and tannin. It comes across as a traditionally made Barolo with mouth-searing tannin, as well as huge quantities of glycerin, black raspberry and cherry liqueur-like fruit, a skyscraper-like structure, and a finish that lasts for 15+ seconds. The wine's low acidity is counterbalanced by the monster structure."(91pts)

This wine will be accessible young, but capable of lasting for 15 years. Merryvale's finest red wine is their proprietary wine called Profile. While the blend varies from year to year, most vintages contain between 30%-40% Merlot, about 10% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon.

The oak component is virtually undetectable as it is concealed by the wine's wealth of fruit and extraordinary concentration. It should drink well for 10-12 years.

Suffice it to say that this is Umbria's prototypical Sangiovese/Merlot blend, an intense dark ruby with a potent, spicy, red currant, raspberry, and plum nose, a sumptuous texture with superior volume, velvet, and sweetness, and exceptional length, grip, and sensuality on the close. Better this 2001 or the equally formidable 1999? Let's just say that it's likely to be a photo-finish, and either could take the checkered flag. Drink: 2005-2020."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $120-160

The 1971 had a spinier nose with lots of minerals and t 'n a, a more gravelly and slaty edge with more minerals. There was still deep and nutty fruit behind those, and some signature chocolaty richness. That chocolate quality spread like Nutella in the mouth, as did flavors of tar and tobacco. There were lots of leathery fruit flavors. Rob called it 'straight down the middle' and found it on the bottom half of excellence rather than the top like I did (ie, 93 vs. 94 points or 4 stars vs. 4+ stars)."(94pts JK)1 bottle per lot $500-700

Armed with huge richness, this deep effort has superb purity, intensity, and length. While it is somewhat heavy, like many 2003 high end German late harvest wines, it appears to have enough balancing acidity to provide lift. Projected maturity: 2008-2030 (readers should note that a Gold Cap version of this wine exists and was tasted it sells for $500 per half-bottle but it was so raisiny, so heavy, as well as so dominated by caramel and molasses that it is not being reviewed)."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $350-480

This vintage shows extra heft and dimension that allows the wine to spread smoothly over the palate. Merlot is blended with Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon, and the taste profile in the 2012 vintage definitely favors the Merlot component. Soft cherry and dark berry segue to spice and moist tobacco.

8063 Aglianico - Vintage 2009Fidelis, Cantina del Taburno(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Aglianico Fidelis is a tremendous wine for the money. Juicy red berries, flowers, and crushed rocks explode from the glass in this racy, sleek Agliancio. Readers won't find a ton of varietal character or complexity, but instead a wine built on racy, exuberant fruit. Varietal notes of smoke, incense and game add nuance on the finish, but the 2009 is mostly about overt fruit. This is another terrific choice for near-term

This deep, concentrated Brunello is incredibly fresh and vibrant. Although the sweet tannins make the wine very accessible at this stage, readers in search of a more complex drinking experience will want to give this Brunello a few years in bottle. The 2004 Brunello from Castelgiocondo is a lovely effort from the Frescobaldi family and one of the finest vintages to be produced at the property.

Long, firm, and intense in flavor, still slightly tannic, it will need some time to round off the slight graininess of its texture. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018."(90pts)6 bottles per lot $420-600

8085 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2006Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona(Wines Located in New York)"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is an attractive entry-level wine. Dark red berries, crushed flowers, licorice and mint are some of the nuances that emerge from this fleshy, mid-weight offering. The aromas and flavors are decidedly on the ripe side of the spectrum in the racy 2006, but the intensity of the fruit covers the tannins nicely, making this an attractive wine for near-term pleasure.

The wine is full-bodied, with excellent definition, richness, and purity of fruit. The style falls somewhere between the rustic traditionalists and the small barrique-aged modernists.

"The 2012 Montiano sports a new design and front label that is cleaner and minimalist in personality. That doesn't change the fact that this is one of the most historic Merlot-based wines in Italy that put Lazio wines on the map. Riccardo Cotarella had set his sights on great Merlot from his home turf, that lies on the Lazio and Umbria border in central Italy. This vintage is especially plump and opulent and signals a slight evolution in the winemaking style of this historic wine. It feels more elegant and streamlined thanks to the purity of its aromas. Black cherry, blackberry, Indian spice, dark chocolate and pressed rose petal come together in seamless fashion."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $180-240

This is a decidedly dark, brooding red from Lamborghini. As good as it is, I can't help feeling that the wine is trapped by excessive concentration and new oak.

mocha, smoke, incense and grilled herbs. There is plenty of power and depth, but little of the character that makes Messorio a great wine in its best vintages.

A very great wine, very much in the mold of its French cousin, Château Beaucastel, the wine has a saturated ruby/purple color and a gorgeous nose of melted licorice, charcoal, blueberry, and blackberries intermixed with freshly sliced mushrooms, tree bark, and pepper.

8561 Château Calon Segur - Vintage 2009St. Estephe1x6 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 has the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) ever included in a Calon-Segur (the rest is Merlot and Petit Verdot). Completely different from its St.-Estephe brethren, it is more backward and structured with a dense purple color, lots of black cherry, black currant, loamy earth, forest floor and spice notes, excruciatingly high levels of tannin, and a wonderful inner core of sweetness and concentration. It could behave like the 1982, which, at age 30, is just becoming mature. The 2009 is an uncompromising, masculine, massive style of wine that needs 15-20 years of cellaring even in this luscious, flashy, flamboyant vintage. "(94+pts)6 magnums per lot $1300-1700

8568 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1989St. Julienlbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1989 Ducru Beaucaillou has an unenviable reputation as a hit 'n miss wine, since this was the period when the château suffered a TCA infection in the

roof. This bottle seemed to have been affected, but perhaps that diverts you from this rather humdrum Ducru compared to recent spectacular vintages courtesy of Bruno Borie. The nose is staid and lacks fruit concentration in the context of the vintage, dusty and smudged. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin, somehow hollow and shallow with a very one-dimensional finish that doesn't exactly leave you begging for another sip. If you want to play Russian roulette, then go for the 1989, though personally I would prefer to drink any vintage from the last decade. Tasted April 2016."(86?pts)1 bottle per lot $140-180

8579 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 2014St. Julien1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2014 Leoville-Las Cases is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc and Merlot, cropped at 33 hectoliters per hectare and matured in 85% new oak. There is 6.8% vin de presse this year. Picked between 30 September and 13 October over 12 days. It has a delectable bouquet with very precise, mineral-rich black fruit infused with oyster shell, which appears to be a leitmotif of Jean-Huber Delon's 2014s! The palate is medium-bodied with wondrous purity and tension, the acidity beautifully poised and imparting the palpable sense of energy from start to finish. Where it really excels is on the finish: exquisite structure, very complex with enormous persistence that lingers for more than a minute. Surely the wine of the appellation, ditto one of the best Left Bank 2014s."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $950-1200

8580 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 1982St. Julienbn, scl, nc, ssos (Wines Located in New York)"There is no question that Leoville Poyferre was not making wines at the level of quality they have since 1990. That said, the 1982 is a great wine, no doubt because of the vintage rather than the winemaking at that time. A brilliant effort, it boasts a dense purple color as well as a sweet, flowery bouquet revealing plenty of creme de cassis, plum, and cherry notes, stunning concentration, a boatload of power, sweet tannins (the sweetest and easiest to taste among the St.-Juliens), and a long finish. Although close to full maturity, it has at least 20-25 years of life remaining. Release price: ($130.00/case)"(95pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

8616 Kapcsandy Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2012

Grand Vin, State Lane Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The perfect 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard is 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot aged 20 months in 100% new French oak. I think this is the third perfect score I've given to this wine, which is the essence of their vineyard, representing about 13% of the total production, or a mere 320 cases. The wine has a gorgeously opaque purple color and a beautiful nose of camphor, charcoal, blackberry and cr?me de cassis with licorice and truffle. It has unbelievable richness, great texture, tremendous finesse, precision and delineation. Very intense, full-bodied and super-pure, the length of the wine must be at least 50+ seconds. This is a gorgeous wine and one of the great superstars of this fabulous vintage. Drink it over the next 25-30 years."(100pts)3 bottles per lot $1100-1500

8617 Kapcsandy Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2012

Rapszodia(Wines Located in New York)"A great effort and a showcase for Cabernet Franc is the 2012 Rapszodia. This is a blend of 90% Cabernet Franc from the heavy clay soils of their vineyard blended with 10% Merlot aged in 100% new French oak for 20 months and bottled without filtration. A stunning nose of acacia flowers, blueberry liqueur and blackberry is followed by a medium to full-bodied wine that's amazingly intense, rich and concentrated, but surprisingly light on its feet weight-wise. The wine is full-bodied, but stunningly ethereal and sublime. This is a stunner, and a great example of what Cabernet Franc can do from a terrifiCôterroir, great winemaking and élevage. Sadly, only 175 cases were produced. Look for this wine to continue to drink well for up to two decades."(98pts)4 bottles per lot $850-1100

Roberta's Reserve, State Lane Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The 100% Merlot cuvée, the 2012 Roberta's Reserve State Lane Vineyard is, once again, flirting with perfection. A stunning nose of chocolate fudge intermixed with coffee bean, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit is intense, and followed by a full-bodied, gorgeously textured, opulent style of wine with stunning richness and purity. This is a brilliant wine and only represents 12% of the production, as only 300 cases were produced. It should drink well for 20-25 years."(98pts)6 bottles per lot $1300-1700

8620 Kapcsandy Family Red - Vintage 2010Endre(Wines Located in New York)"The less expensive 2010 Endre (53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc aged in both French and Hungarian oak) is very Bordeaux like. Notes of bouquet garni, red and black currants and loamy soil are present in this medium-bodied wine that seems to be a faster evolving effort than its siblings. With excellent texture as well as an elegant style, and I use that word in a positive sense, it should drink well for 10-15 years."(94pts)5 bottles per lot $280-400

8633 Sine Qua Non Grenache - Vintage 2009Turn The Whole Thing Upside Down1nl (Wines Located in New York)"...emerges from the glass with layers of dark red fruit as it sweeps across the palate. There is an inner sweetness and sheer depth that make the 2009 compelling. The 11% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre make themselves heard clearly in adding layers of depth and pure richness. Tar, anise and graphite meld together on the rich, dramatic finish."(96+pts)2 bottles per lot $500-700

8636 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2013Male1nl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2013 Syrah Male is an elegant, seamless Syrah that exudes class in its creme de cassis, black raspberry, smoked meats, graphite and asphalt-laced bouquet. This is a blend of 80% Syrah, 7% Petite Sirah, 6% Mourvèdre, 3.5% Touriga National and 3.5% Viognier, fermented with 28% whole clusters and aged 25 months in 65% new French oak.

8637 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2012Stocknl (Wines Located in New York)"A step up from the Grenache, the blockbuster-styled 2012 Syrah Stock checks in as a blend of 84% Syrah, 7% Grenache, 6% Petit Sirah, and the rest Viognier and

Mourvedre, that was fermented with 32% whole clusters and aged in just over half new French oak. It offers stunning notes of blackcurrants, cassis, smoked meats, ground pepper and wild herbs to go with a full-bodied, unctuous, layered, yet always graceful and elegant feel on the palate. Nicely structured, with perfect overall balance, it still has the open-knit character of the vintage, yet has plenty of underlying structure, which at the moment is slightly hidden by the wine's lavish fruit. It will be better in 2-3 years, and have two decades of overall longevity."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

8638 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2009The Thrill of Stamp Collecting(Wines Located in New York)"A wild, heady bouquet evokes candied black and blue fruits, smoky Indian spices and cola.

8775 De Lancellotti Pinot Noir - Vintage 2008(Wines Located in New York)"Representing a jump in production to around 500 cases, the De Lancellotti 2008 Pinot Noir displays the sappy, ripe fruit one anticipates from this vintage in what with hindsight seems the context of an evolving sense of estate style. This is a Pinot strong on levity (at not much over 13% alcohol), inner mouth perfume, and textural tenderness. Juicy dark cherry and plum are tinged with cardamom, ginger, and piquant fruit pit as well as underlain by a saliva-stimulating impression of lightly-salted, multi-boned beef stock. I'm sure (as it happens; not meaning to implicate resemblance to red Burgundy as the Willamette's qualitative touchstone) that tasted blind in a line-up of Gevrey Chambertin I would have accepted this as belonging. The piquant, mouthwatering savor and sweetness of fruit lingers delightfully but eventually compels the next sip.

The 1999 is a decidedly understated, graceful Saffredi that impresses for its elegance and finesse rather than for its heft. Hints of French oak, smoke, autumn leaves, tar and tobacco add the final layers of complexity."(92pts WA)2 bottles per lot $130-180

9085 August Briggs Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Monte Rosso Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Rosso Vineyard is impressive. Produced from some of Sonoma's oldest Cabernet vineyards, this classic effort reveals a saturated ruby/purple-tinged color along with a sweet nose of blue and black fruits intermixed with notions of flower and earth. Tannic, powerful, rich, and packed with all the necessities for a long life, this impressively made red requires 2-3 years of cellaring, and should last for 15+."(90pts)3 bottles per lot $70-90

9088 Buoncristiani Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001(Wines Located in New York)"A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec and 3% Merlot, this stunning, full-bodied 2001 boasts sexy opulence, a saturated ruby/purple color (that looks like a 4-5 year old wine), spicy oak and a youthful, large-scaled, seriously endowed personality. It is approachable now because of its sweet tannins and glorious fruit, but will be even better in 3-4 years, and should last for two decades thereafter. Bravo!"(93pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

While there is huge fruit and great richness, this cuvée appears to have shut down following bottling. Tannic, heady, and rich, it was difficult to coax out of the glass. There is a wonderful composty, underbrush, primordial character to these Syrahs, with an almost scorched earth component. Think of it as drinking a liquefied grilled steak."(94+pts)1 bottle per lot $75-100

It has a deep ruby/semi-opaque color that is followed by a youthful, rich and concentrated wine offering classic dark cherries, plum, licorice, ground herbs and baking-spice-driven aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, layered and structured, it opens up beautifully with air, has seamlessly integrated fruit, tannin and alcohol, and stays classy and nicely focused on the finish.

9200 Clarendon Hills Syrah - Vintage 2001Piggot Range(Wines Located in New York)"The 2001 Syrah Piggott Range may be one of several Clarendon Hills' Syrah cuvées that stand toe to toe with its 2002 sibling. A giant Syrah, it boasts an enormously rich nose of black fruits, subtle vanilla, smoke, and a hint of graphite.

9213 Fonseca Vintage Port - Vintage 2000(Wines Located in New York)"The 2000 Fonseca continues to exude finesse and focus on the nose, with pure blackberry, juniper berries, licorice and a touch of sloes, perhaps as Adrian Bridge remarked, just beginning to close after ten years in bottle. The palate is underpinned by very fine tannins, a sensual, svelte texture with wonderful acidity. The harmony and symmetry is alluring, the finish precise and demonstrating the persistency to suggest a long future ahead. Drink 2020-2060."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

9264 Krug Vintage Champagne - Vintage NVRose(Wines Located in New York)"Their aim was to make a wine with a proper house-style, where the color was the only clue that it was a rosé. The color is an extremely light salmon-pink, and the nose is definitely Krug! Their unmistakable symphony of full, complex aromas is backed up by a whiff of raspberry. The taste is tremendously austere and acidic, but less generous than a Grande Cuvée and definitely a wine to store."(94pts RJ)1 half-bottle per lot $200-280

9293 Solengo - Vintage 2004Argiano2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Readers will find much to admire in these two new releases from Argiano, located in the southern part of the Montalcino zone. The 2004 Solengo presents gorgeous aromatics followed by super-ripe dark fruit, crushed flowers, herbs, spices and sweet toasted oak that flow from its opulent, full-bodied frame. Showing superb concentration, the wine is supported by an attractive note of underlying minerality that provides balance as well as a sense of proportion. It offers outstanding length, a silky-textured personality and ripe, sweet tannins on the finish in a rare display that marries power with elegance. It will be tempting to drink this early, but a few years of cellaring will give the wine an opportunity to express the fullest range of its potential. In 2004 Solengo is a blend of 45% Cabernet

Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 25% Syrah that spent 17 months in new French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

9294 Solengo - Vintage 2006Argiano2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Argiano's 2006 Solengo is an explosive dense wine packed with blueberry jam, grilled herbs, tar and smoke. This is another structured, powerful wine that needs time for the tannins to soften but the wine is quite promising, even at this early stage. In 2006 Solengo has taken on elements of a Bordeaux-like classicism I find very appealing, although the Tuscan warmth inevitably comes through. Not a bad combination. The Sangiovese is gone, and Solengo is now 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 25% Syrah. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

9295 Messorio - Vintage 2009Le Macchiole2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"...emerges from the glass with dark cherries, plums, mocha, smoke, incense and grilled herbs.

Complex, oaky nose melds plum, cedar, smoke, minerals and nut skin, along with mushroom and earth notes. The strong, pungent cherry and licorice flavors are perked up by a brisk citric edge (grapefruit?). A rather stylish wine with fruit of steel. Finishes with intense flavor and excellent grip. Needs to be served with food, like a grilled steak."(92pts VM)1 27 liter per lot $6000-9000

Sumptuously, even lavishly oaked yet it carries its oak as though it were nothing and there is no doubt that this will absorb the wood completely as there is a mind boggling amount of mid-palate sap and punch and it completely coats the mouth and the persistence is exemplary. The structure is completely buried beneath all the sap and while this should be approachable after a decade, it will drink well for another two. Another great Roty Charmes in a very long line of them. If you can find a few bottles, don't miss them. In short, this is very classy juice."(94pts BH)1 magnum per lot $550-700

Drinking well, I'd pop bottles over the coming couple of years, yet no doubt it will have a solid evolution through 2019 or so."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $600-750

9776 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2005Valdicava1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is a brooding wine that flows with the essence of smoke, tar, earthiness, wild cherries and iron. This is one of most rich, concentrated Brunellos of the vintage. Dark and enveloping on the palate, this powerful, virile Brunello closes with substantial heft. It should age beautifully on the depth of its fruit, but readers will enjoy a far more complete drinking experience if the wine is given at least few years in bottle to shed some of its baby fat. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022."(92pts)6 bottles per lot $380-500

The 2005 Château de Myrat needed some aeration to rid itself of SO2, but it is worth persevering, because underneath lie attractive pineapple, quince and marmalade scents, orange blossom emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with honey, quince and a touch of bitter orange. While the nose does not quite live up to the previous bottle that I tasted, the 2005 could be considered to be the first vintage to relive the glories of yesteryear, before the vineyard fell into deprivation and flirted with extinction. Drink this now and over the next decade. Tasted April 2016."(90pts)1 half-bottle per lot $20-30

Certain vintages of this precious commodity are simply fantastic. The color has the same deep red appearance. The mousse bubbles up in a sensational way. The entire wine exudes seriousness and sumptuous vinosity. This has everything required of a really big red Burgundy. The spice, the coffee aromas, the smokiness, and the massive vegetal tones in the fruit call to mind red beets the aftertaste is reminiscent of the finest bitter chocolate. All of this is an unusually clear expression of first-class Pinot Noir. "(95pts RJ)1 bottle per lot $1200-1600

9921 Bond - Vintage 2004St. Eden(Wines Located in New York)"The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Eden, which comes from a valley floor vineyard in Oakville, is another dead ringer for a great Pauillac, possibly a young Mouton. Dense bluish/purple in color with stunning notes of cedarwood, unsmoked high-quality cigar tobacco, creme de cassis and espresso roast, this wine has fabulous fruit, density and a full-bodied, youthful mouthfeel, wonderful balance and purity, and a terrific finish that goes on for close to a minute. This is also relatively open, but slightly more structured than the Melbury. There's no sense deferring gratification, so I would suggest drinking it over the next 15-20 years, possibly longer."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $900-1200

It has a bit more oiliness and fat than the Ritchie, and is also just as beautiful. A wine of pure richness and glycerin, the vinous, textured Eastside Vineyard will drink well right out of the gate. Vintage 2011 is the first release of the Eastside Vineyard, which previously went into the Russian River bottling. Vineyard guru Ulises Valdez planted this site with Montrachet clones.

The Napa is made from a parcel owned by Aubert that David Abreu planted six years ago with a Montrachet selection. The vines are naturally quite young, but the results are already striking.

10097 Chablis - Vintage 2011Les Preuses, Domaine Dublere(Wines Located in New York)

"Tasted just two weeks after bottling, Pethel's 2011 Chablis Preuses was harvested already on September 12, but was extremely slow in fermentation, leading to a reluctant decision (for him) to encourage completion by warming the tank into which it had been pressed. (Ironically, as has long been done in Burgundy with admirable results even back when it was technically illegal the must had been lightly chaptalized in the course of fermentation with the aim of extending it. In the event, the finished wine is still barely 13% alcohol.) Scents of lemon, lime, and more exotic citrus mingle with musk, white truffle, lightly toasted hazelnut and intimations of ocean breeze in an arrestingly diverse and intriguing aromatic display. The maritime and citrus allusions are realized in spades on this wine's dense, lush palate, with pungent citrus oils and piquancy of pips spiking an amalgam of oyster liqueur and lemon juice, leading to a finish of nearly eye-watering and certainly salivary gland-milking intensity brine, chalk, iodine, and myriad ineffable mineral elements leaving a near-indelible impression. This youthfully brash yet rich Preuses is almost sure to reveal more of the site's alluring exoticism and continue to dazzle through at least 2025."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400

"From Carneros, the 2013 Pinot Noir Moses-Hall Vineyard (Patz and Hall's only estate vineyard) is produced from Dijon clones 777, 828 and 115 as well as the Calera and Joseph Swan selections. Fifteen percent whole clusters were used and 60% new French oak was employed. The wine possesses black cherry, sassafras and cola notes intermixed with background oak, underbrush and forest floor characteristics. Medium to full-bodied and pure with crisp acidity, a lovely texture and a seamless integration of acidity, alcohol, wood and tannin, it should drink well for 8-10 years."(91+pts)3 bottles per lot $120-160

10186 Patz & Hall Pinot Noir - Vintage 2014Moses Hall Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"From their own vineyard, the 2014 Pinot Noir Moses-Hall Vineyard sees about 10% whole-cluster and 60% new French oak and, like the other wines, is bottled without fining or filtration. It is a relatively limited cuvée of 598 cases. All of this comes from well-drained, gravelly soils planted with an assortment of Dijon clones 777, 828 and 115, as well as heritage California clones such as Swan and Calera. This wine offers plenty of gravelly minerality and a smoky, forest floor nose reminiscent of a Morey-St.-Denis from Burgundy. With delicious plum, pomegranate, black raspberry and black cherry fruit, it is rich, broad, medium to full-bodied and complex already.

I have tasted this vintage several times and it remains one of the best Pomerols in what was a strong year for the appellation. Deep in color, this particular bottle of 1971 Trotanoy has a lovely saline, brine-tinged bouquet that is powerful considering its age. Later it offers up subtle cassis and mint aromas. The palate is very well balanced with superb depth and vigor. It is a little more masculine than previous bottles, and interestingly, there is less flesh than the 1975, which has the upper hand on this occasion. There is a lovely melted finish with tobacco lingering on the aftertaste. I have had better bottles, but this is still a fantastic Pomerol. Tasted September 2012."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $1200-1600

The 2009, which is showing better from bottle than it did last year, is a wonderfully complex wine made from 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre. (The Grenache comes from 80-year-old vines aged in concrete, and the Mourvedre from 60-year-old vines aged in 600-litre demi-muids). This wine was utterly perfect in 2007, and I think the 2009 is another fabulous wine. Complex notes of licorice, incense, lavender, new saddle leather, blackberry and kirsch along with some tree bark and roasted meats are all present in this complex, fragrant wine, which is full-bodied, dense, rich and capable of improving."(95+pts)5 bottles per lot $260-350

hastily said, it s walking the Krug, meaning it was showing better, but I found it closer qualitatively despite the obvious stylistic differences. Its finish was also explosive and full of earth, breed and length. King Angry Ray noted, the fruit is so pure, you don t even notice the lack of dosage. The Clos St. Hilaire had the complexity of a quarry full of all types of rocks, minerals and vitamins, possessing incredible acidity, structure and length. Flavors of anise developed, and the finish gained this novocaine-like complexity in this numbingly good Champagne. I asked Ray if he thought this was better than Krug, and he succinctly observed, Just different. More red fruit here.

Notes of underbrush, tobacco and tar add further complexity on the mid-palate as the wine opens to reveal outstanding length and complexity. This is truly a remarkable effort, particularly in the way the tannins are so seamlessly integrated into the wine. While the 2003 Brunello doesn't quite reach the level of his superb 2001, this wine should be on readers' short lists of wines to seek out in 2003. It is a commendable effort in every way.

This wine, with very low yields of only 3,500 cases and a final blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, offers up notes of cedar wood, forest floor, loamy soil and oodles of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit.

10600 Barolo - Vintage 1990Bussia Soprana, A. Conterno1vlscl, 2lscl, 1vlwrl, 3sdc (Wines Located in NewYork)"The super-concentrated 1990 Barolo Bussia Soprano is an outstanding wine. When I tasted it, it appeared more structured, tannic, and backward than the 1989. Perhaps it is just the one year difference in age, but the advantage the 1989 enjoys over the 1990 at present is that its fruit is sweeter and more evolved."(93-97pts)3 bottles per lot $600-800

10604 Château St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1997Cinq Cepages2nl (Wines Located in New York)"It boasts a super-complex bouquet of licorice, dried herbs, black currants, spice box, and cherry liqueur. In the mouth, notes of chocolate, new oak, and red and black fruits caress the palate in a medium to full-bodied, succulent style. Aged in 50% new and 50% one-year old French barrels, it is bottled with no fining or filtration. Fleshy and complex, this is California's answer to a big, rich St.- milion."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $750-1000

10618 Occidental Pinot Noir - Vintage 2011cuvée Catherine, Occidental Station Vineyard6lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2011 Pinot Noir Occidental Station Cuvée Catherine is a real stunner. Still incredibly primary, the 2011 is built on a serious core of fruit. Voluptuous yet medium in body, the 2011 impresses for its balance and sheer purity. The 2011 has developed quite a bit since I last tasted it, but the style remains one of fruit density. Readers should give the 2011 another year or two in bottle. What a fabulous wine this is. Occidental is Steve Kistler's new Pinot Noir project, which is starting essentially as a spin-out from Kistler Vineyards. Steve Kistler remains CEO of Kistler Vineyards and very much in charge of day to day operations."(97pts VM)8 bottles per lot $750-900

10619 Occidental Pinot Noir - Vintage 2011cuvée Elizabeth, Bodega Headlands Vineyard4lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"Whereas the Cuvée Catherine is built on fruit, the 2011 Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Cuvée Elizabeth is a much more inward, structured wine. Here the flavors are bright, precise and endowed with considerable energy. Cranberry, pomegranate, crushed rocks, rose petals and savory herbs are all supported by veins of underlying acidity and minerality that should allow the 2011 to develop beautifully in bottle. All of the 2011 Pinots have really blossomed over the last year, but none to the extent of the Cuvée Elizabeth, which today is stunning."(97pts VM)4 bottles per lot $480-600

A super-refined finish has the last say in this moving, breathtaking wine. The UV-SL vineyard is just four miles from the Pacific Ocean. There is an energy and vitality in the wine I find totally irresistible. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

10688 Kistler Pinot Noir - Vintage 2006cuvée Natalie, Silver Belt1nl, 1sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Deep red color. Loamy red berry and cherry aromas expand with air, picking up strong floral and smoky mineral qualities. The floral note gains strength with air and carries onto the palate, adding complexity to the wine's deep, chewy cherry and dark berry flavors. This is like two wines in one, with a high-pitched nose and a deeper, weightier palate. The finish strongly echoes the cherry and mineral notes and refuses to let up. This wine has more Swan clone than the other pinots."(94pts IWC)2 bottles per lot $200-260

10689 Kistler Pinot Noir - Vintage 2007cuvée Natalie, Silver Belt(Wines Located in New York)"Following the brilliant success of Kistler's 2007s, Steve Kistler and his sidekick, Mark Bixler, deserve kudos for what they have achieved in the more challenging 2008 vintage. This is the first vintage in which 100% of the fermentations were indigenous, and, fortunately, all their Sonoma Coast vineyards were far enough south that they were not tainted by any of the smoke from the ferocious fires that spread through Mendocino. The 2008s appear to be slightly more fruit-forward, with a touch less minerality than the 2007s. They are full-bodied, impressively endowed wines, with the Chardonnays best drunk during their first 5-7 years of life, and the Pinot Noirs during their first 10-12."(94-96pts)8 bottles per lot $1100-1600

10690 Kistler Pinot Noir - Vintage 2008cuvée Natalie, Silver Belt(Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Pinot Noir cuvée Natalie Silver Belt, all from the Joseph Swan clone of Pinot Noir, offers rich forest floor, raspberry, spice box and earthy notes in a style

that reminds me of a Burgundy premier cru from Volnay. This beautiful Pinot can be drunk now or cellared for a decade. "(95pts)8 bottles per lot $900-1200

10691 Kistler Pinot Noir - Vintage 2009cuvée Natalie, Silver Belt(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Pinot Noir Silver Belt cuvée Natalie is a deep, dense wine imbued with black cherries, spices, violets, mint and crushed rocks. It possesses stunning depth and richness, all supported by a persistent vein of minerality that gives the wine its focus and energy. The cuvée Natalie is pure, powerful and simply a beauty to behold in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021."(95pts)4 bottles per lot $320-450

10692 Kistler Pinot Noir - Vintage 2010cuvée Natalie, Silver Belt(Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Pinot Noir Silver Belt cuvée Natalie is a pretty, aromatic wine endowed with gorgeous lift and a gracious personality, with none of the wilder notes found in the Kistler Vineyard. The cuvée Natalie is quite delicate, at times even a bit frail, but it nevertheless impresses with its superb purity and fine overall balance. There is a sense of energy in the cuvée Natalie that is highly appealing. My impression is that the cuvée Natalie is not built for the long haul, but it will drink nicely for at least the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020."(92pts)5 bottles per lot $400-600

10824 Patrimo - Vintage 2005Feudi Di San Gregorio(Wines Located in New York)"Just as I was underwhelmed by the 2004 vintage, despite my high expectations, the 2005 Pàtrimo delivered a series of beautiful surprises that I did not anticipate. Elsewhere in Italy this was a hot year, but in Campania the vintage brought on conditions from some seriously elegant wines. The bouquet is finely stitched together with beautifully etched mineral notes that add incredible focus and depth. The wine is sightly evolved with licorice and tar, but it reveals none of the dirty or leathery tertiary aromas you sometimes get with Merlot. It delivers a bright point of acidity that gives life to the mouthfeel and helps the wine appear younger than it really is. The vintage was unique with a very dry and hot month of June, followed by a much cooler and wetter August. These contrasts served to prolong the growing season, thus giving more time for the full and generous aromas to develop. This wine gets better and better with each successive tasting during the course of its evolution. This is one of my favorite editions. With this vintage, the wine goes from an IGT Irpinia Rosso appellation to an IGT Campania designation."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

11456 Bond - Vintage 2003Vecina(Wines Located in New York)"The vineyard closest to the great Harlan Estate is Vecina, situated in the western foothills on the Oakville Crossroad overlooking the valley. From this 11-acre site, the 2003 Vecina comes closest in style to Harlan Estate, appearing like a hypothetical blend of a St. Estephe and Pauillac. A formidable wine, it reveals plenty of new saddle leather, creme de cassis, scorched earth and volcanic-like characteristics in addition to notes of blackberries, Chinese black tea and graphite. Powerful, intense and backward, it needs 2-5 years of bottle age and should last for two decades thereafter. It is a tour de force in winemaking!"(96+pts)1 bottle per lot $240-350

11458 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2004Special Selectionsdc (Wines Located in New York)"Even richer and fuller than the regular bottling, but at the same time hedonistically and voluptuously styled is the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection.

11460 Colgin Red - Vintage 2003IX Estatevlwisl, ssos (Wines Located in New York)"The dense purple-tinged 2003 IX Proprietary Red (a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot - also a change from barrel) is a 1,280-case cuvée revealing deep, rich blue as well as black fruits, hints of licorice and creosote, a smoky, Graves-like, hot rocks character, moderately high tannin, and a full-bodied finish."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $220-300

11462 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2008

B 201lwisl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Syrah B-20 is a cool, inward wine graced with layers of beautifully delineated, chiseled fruit. This is a distinctly mineral, precise style relative to the more outgoing 2009, but both are striking. Floral notes add lift as the finish turns explosive with a burst of dark fruit, tar, licorice and crushed rocks. This is one of the more understated wines readers are likely to come across from Sine Qua Non. It is gorgeous when given the time to open up. The B-20 is predominantly Syrah, with 6% Grenache and 2% Viognier. About half of the Grenache was fermented with whole clusters and the wine was aged in French oak (60% new) for 26 months. The vineyard sources are 52% Eleven Confessions, 18% Cumulus, 18% Bien Nacido and 12% White Hawk. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023."(95pts)5 bottles per lot $1000-1400

11474 Campoleone - Vintage 1997Lamborghini(Wines Located in New York)"Yes, as you may have guessed, this 79-acre estate is owned by a member of the luxury car manufacturer. Made with Riccardo Cotarella's consultation, this 1997 is a blend of roughly equal portions of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sangiovese. Picked at high sugars, vinified dry, aged 12 months in new French oak, and bottled with neither fining nor filtration, it is a tour de force in wine-making. Unbelievable concentration combined with uncanny balance and symmetry, as well as a staggering bouquet, flavor depth, and length, make for one of the most extraordinary wine tasting experiences of 1999. The color is a saturated purple. Bursting with black fruits, spice, minerals, and character, this is a prodigious, fabulously intense wine that must be tasted to be believed. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $170-220

This warm vintage expression is muscular and compact at this initial stage in its evolution. It needs more years of bottle aging to unwind and soften. You certainly get a whiff of that profound potential on the horizon. Impenetrable fruit, blackberry, prune and cherry liqueur is trailed by oak spice, barbecue smoke and campfire ash. The oak element is very strong and not fully integrated yet. This is a masterful creation from one of Italy's most talented winemakers(94pts)6 bottles per lot $400-600

It may well have the highest level of natural alcohol for any wine from the Left Bank of Bordeaux (15.1%) and has the definite potential to be a 50- to 75-year wine.

There are tangible mineral notes that translate onto the palate defined by taut tannins and a silver thread of acidity.

11694 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 2010Dujac1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"An intensely floral nose features notes of rose petals and lavender along with cool red berry fruit liberally laced with wet stone nuances. The taut and muscular broad-scaled and concentrated flavors are precise, intense and explosively long on the focused and stunningly persistent finish that is youthfully austere and breathtakingly intense. This faultlessly well-balanced but very firm effort will require extended cellaring and 15 to 20 years is probably what the structure will require to completely resolve."(96pts BH)12 bottles per lot $7500-10000

This possesses a very firm but well-integrated structure that shapes the mineral-driven and superbly long finish. 2009 is a powerful yet refined vintage for this wine."(95pts BH)3 bottles per lot $1500-1800

11697 Clos St. Denis - Vintage 2010Dujac(Wines Located in New York)"This was initially noticeably reduced but aggressive swirling coaxes out a nose that is even more floral still with a pungent violet and rose character to the very fresh spice and earth-inflected fresh berry fruit aromas. There is beautiful subtlety to the detailed, refined and admirably pure middle weight flavors that possess a velvety, even plush mouth feel, all wrapped in a perfectly balanced and harmonious finish where the supporting tannins are remarkably fine-grained."(95pts BH)2 bottles per lot $1300-1600

11698 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2010Aux Combottes, Dujac(Wines Located in New York)"A deft touch of wood frames an airy, cool and admirably pure nose of cassis, spice, floral scents and ripe red berry fruit aromas.

Finishes with firm tannins, excellent energy and lovely persistence. A high percentage of millerandage no doubt partly explains this wine's creamy intensity."(92pts IWC)12 bottles per lot $1600-2000

The focus is incredible and this both stains and completely coats the palate and the persistent finish arrives in wave after wave.

Full-bodied and opulent, with an atypically rigid structure, this is a remarkable achievement for such a humble terroir."(95pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

11898 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1996Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Incredible nose of ultraripe fruit, it's yet subtle and complex. Full-bodied, with very ripe, almost sweet fruit and a long, long caressing finish. Superb."(96pts WS)1 bottle per lot $450-600

11899 Château Pavie - Vintage 2005St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Pavie is an absolutely amazing wine that has shed most of its oak aging (usually 24-28 months). Opaque purple in color, it is beyond belief in extract

and concentration, but perfectly balanced and pure, with the oak well-integrated. Massively concentrated, and still a baby, this wine tastes more like it's two to three years old than one that's been around for a decade. Intense notes of grilled meats, spice box, cassis, black cherry, licorice and graphite arepresent in abundance. Enormously endowed, but with superlative purity and balance, this is the greatest Pavie in the early Perse era, starting in 1998. Only the 2009 and 2010 rival this in his opinion, but I would add the 2000. This killer effort should drink well for another 50 years and demonstrates the greatness of this terroir owned by the Perse family. Only 7,000 cases were produced from a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bravo!"(100pts)1 magnum per lot $600-800

This is undoubtedly the greatest Pavie Decesse ever produced and a modern-day Bordeaux legend. At one-half the price of its sibling, Pavie, it should be obvious what readers should do!..."(96pts)12 bottles per lot $1200-1600

11901 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1983Pauillac1bn, 2bsl, 2lgsl (Wines Located in New York)"...one of the great wines of the vintage. The color is an impressive opaque dark ruby with only a hint of amber at the edge. The powerful nose of jammy blackcurrants, cedar, and roasted herbs is followed by a broad-shoulderedstyle of Pichon, with superb concentration, soft tannins, below average acidity, and a spectacularly rich, explosive finish."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

11902 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1986Pauillacgsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The wine shows notes of cedar, black currants, earth, spice box, and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, very concentrated, intense palate with a still noticeable tannic structure, a relatively big, muscular style for Pichon-Lalande."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $200-260

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2005 Pierre de Lune represents decadent St.-Emilion at its finest.

Almost aggressively young today, with the chewy character and uncanny richness shown by a number of these '90s. Slight heat and a note of mint on the very strong back end.

It is a remarkably rich, exotic, unctuously styled wine with sensational extract, a very sweet, concentrated palate, and a long, heady finish.

(time will tell with this one), the 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape from Vincent Avril delivers everything you could want from a wine. Full-bodied, intense and beautifully concentrated, with plenty of muscle and depth, it shows the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate, with sensational notes of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, incense, smoked meats and Asian spices. The blend is the normal 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, brought up all in older foudre, and it's just now entering its prime drink window and has another two decades of longevity."(100pts)12 bottles per lot $1200-1600

The 2007 Les Cailloux Tradition (a blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 12% Syrah, and 3% other authorized varieties) comes from 60-year-old vines and is aged completely in tank except for the Mourvedre and Syrah components, which are kept in small barrels. Explosively fruity, this dense plum/purple-colored wine displays grilled meat notes intermixed with Provencal herbs, spice box, black cherry and black currant, in addition to having a lush, opulent texture.

12129 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005Special Selection1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is made in the classic Caymus style that Chuck Wagner has perfected, seemingly so easily. It's a big, ripe Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (as it should be) coming in at 15.2% natural alcohol. This has gorgeous notes of fig, plum, blackberry, cassis, with no real oak showing through, at least at age ten. Low in acidity, opulent, sexy and fresh, it is indeed a beverage of pleasure, and Chuck Wagner certainly knows how to deliver it in spades. This full-bodied, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon will age easily for another 10-15 years, but why wait? It is that stunning at present."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

12133 Kobalt Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)"A sumptuous effort, the inky/purple-colored 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals stunning blueberry and blackberry fruit notes intermixed with scents of licorice, spice, oak, and flowers. It is full-bodied, dense, and rich with moderately high, but sweet tannins that are nicely integrated into a layered, impressive mouthfeel. It can be drunk in 1-2 years, and should last for two decades or more."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

12139 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1997

(Wines Located in New York)"While only microscopic quantities were produced of this wine, It is an immense wine of extraordinary concentration and depth. Amazing, the 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve pushes richness to unreal levels. Despite its intense, full-bodied, ultra-concentrated style, it possesses a sense of balance and definition."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $120-170

12140 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001

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

12377 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)"Opaque purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating, the layers of complex flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional cellaring. The oak, tannin, and acidity are beautifully integrated and the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute. Purchasers no doubt will want to try a bottle immediately but this towering effort will not reach its peak until 2015 at the earliest and provide pleasure through 2040."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $200-240

There is a sultry suggestion here, but pleasing, and not the actual hint of heat that was noticed in the Clavoillon.

Ripe, faintly caramelized peach, quince preserves, citrus zest, and brown spices dominate the nose and succulent, creamily-textured palate. Musky notes of narcissus and heady lily-like perfume add allure and complexity, following all the way through the finish. At the same time, this is anything but heavy, evincing a sense of buoyancy that beautifully compliments the wafting floral character of its long finish. This refined Puligny sublimates any overt mineral character in the interest of seduction, of which it should remain fully capable for at least the next 6-8 years."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

Seductive lily, heliotrope and iris along with high-toned herbal and pit fruit essences on the nose find their counterpart in wafting, bitter-sweet perfume and pure essence of peach and quince on a silken palate. There is a Chevalier-like sense of salt and stone shimmering through curtains of fruit in the finish. But the appropriateness of diaphanous metaphors here should not mislead one into suspecting a lack of concentration. In the end, this is implacably persistence, encompassing a tactile dimension to its sense of chalkiness. Hints of honey and toasted almond well up as this takes on air, suggesting an additional dimension of future richness.

12896 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2005Deus Ex Machina, Clos St. Jean2nl (Wines Located in New York)"Saturated purple to the rim, with an extraordinary nose of incense, fruitcake, blackberry and black cherry notes with some subtle roasted herbs, roast beef, smoke, and licorice, massive fruit concentration, extraordinary intensity, unreal purity and harmony, and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this is a tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the most compelling Châteauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted."(100pts)3 bottles per lot $600-750

12897 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2005La Combe des Fous, Clos St. Jean(Wines Located in New York)"Up there with the '07, yet in a different style, the 2005 Châteauneuf du Pape Combe des Fous is a blockbuster that tops out on my scale. Exotic, perfumed and layered, with incredible kirsch, ground herbs, pepper and hints of olive tapenade-like aromas and flavors, this beauty is full-bodied and flawless on the palate, with ultra-fine tannin structure, building richness and a finish that just won't quit. Given its depth of fruit, it's a sheer joy to drink even today, yet will continue to knock it out of the park over the coming decade or more."(100pts)3 bottles per lot $350-500

12899 Hermitage - Vintage 2009Domaine des Tourette, Delas Freres2nl (Wines Located in New York)"A wine that flirts with perfection is the inky and opaque 2009 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes. Coming from L'Ermite, le Sabot, and Les Bessards, and aged in a combination of new and used French oak barrels, it gives up a heavenly bouquet of crushed rocks, blackberries, leather, wild herbs and earth. Massively concentrated on the palate, with another level of fruit and texture over the 2010, it has brilliant purity, building tannin and a blockbuster finish. There's enough tannin here to warrant hiding in the cellar for 4-5 years, but it should last for 3-4 decades."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $180-260

12901 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Domaine de Ferrand(Wines Located in New York)"An amazing effort, the 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape eclipses what I wrote about it last year. Every time I went back to it, the wine revealed more nuances as well as greater depth. Full-bodied and powerful, it exhibits a compelling bouquet of creme de cassis, ground pepper, incense, seaweed, garrigue, and licorice. The knock-out aromatics are followed by a wine with colossal richness, a multilayered texture, no sense of heaviness, an incredibly deep, penetrating palate feel, and a finish that goes on for 50+ seconds."(98+pts)2 bottles per lot $160-200

Made from 100% Grenache (3/4 destemmed), it boasts a dense black/purple color as well as unbelievable notes of raspberries, black cherries, licorice, truffles, camphor, forest floor and garrigue. This wine is stunningly concentrated, incredibly noble, precise and expansive on the palate with mouth-saturating intensity, glycerin and extract.

12908 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2003cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegau4lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"...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."(98pts)4 bottles per lot $350-480

12909 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2004cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegau(Wines Located in New York)"One of the clear standouts in the vintage, the Feraud's 2004 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée Reservee (which includes a splash of Grenache Blanc in the blend) offers both stunning aromatic complexity paired with a voluptuous, supple and downright sexy profile on the palate. Loaded with classic Pegau spice, tobacco leaf, saddle leather, cured meats and lavender aromas and flavors, this beauty has no hard edges, full-bodied richness and weight, and a seamless finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. A wine that hasn't shut down since bottling, it should continue to evolve gracefully for another decade at least. This is one of those wines you don't want to miss."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $160-200

It is slightly more reserved than the more flamboyant 2009, but of course it is still in foudre.

12914 Ermitage - Vintage 2005L'Ermite, M. Chapoutier(Wines Located in New York)"An extraordinarily powerful wine that probably needs 10-15 years in the bottle (last year I thought 20 was probably conservative), this is a 100-year wine and probably best appreciated by our descendants rather than anyone currently over the age of 30. Dense purple to the rim, with notes of crushed rock, charcoal, roasted meats, and enormous quantities of blue and black fruits, this wine is almost painfully rich and thick, with mouthsearing levels of tannin and zesty acidity."(99+pts)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

12920 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007cuvée de Mon Aieul, P. Usseglio(Wines Located in New York)"It represents an awesome naked/virginal expression of Grenache from three vineyard parcels planted in sand, clay, and limestone soils. After tasting this wine on five separate occasions, I can state with certainty, it has the most saturated color of any Mon Aieul produced to date. Moreover, its perfume of blueberry liqueur, black raspberries, licorice, roasted meat juices, and lavender is incredible. Full-bodied power, a multilayered mouthfeel, tremendous purity, and awesome concentration put this wine in a class by itself."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $200-300

12926 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Madrona Ranch(Wines Located in New York)"While I am not surprised that the 2001 Thorevilos turned out to be perfect, the 2001 Madrona Ranch was more of an eye-opener in that it has become even more extraordinary than I predicted eight years ago. A prodigious wine, with complex notes of subtle barbecue smoke intermixed with blueberry pie, black currant liqueur, acacia flowers, lead pencil shavings, and sweet foresty floor notes, this wine builds incrementally with layer upon layer of fruit, glycerin and concentration. The finish goes well past a minute, and the wine is full-bodied and deep, with wonderfully sweet tannin. It is still an adolescent in terms of its total evolution, but it is irresistible simply because of the flawless nature of the wine and incredible perfume and flavor intensity. Simply amazing! Both of these wines are adolescents, and probably won't peak for another 5-8 years and keep for 30-40."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $320-420

It sports a profound nose of red cherries, spices, candied raspberries, and hints of oak. This noble, concentrated, refined wine reveals loads of flowers intermingled with red as well as black fruits in its complex personality.

The linear, almost severe flavors are concentrated as well with finer tannins than usual and decidedly higher acidity than the EÉchézeaux and the precision is almost painful. This is not a powerful wine, and certainly less powerful than the Ech but it's a good deal more elegant and this too possesses impeccable balance that should permit it to age for 2 decades, perhaps longer."(94pts BH)1 bottle per lot $1200-1600

"... offers up a deep, pure and youthful bouquet of fresh apricot, pear, a marvelously complex base of chalky soil tones, hints of the Crème patissière to come, a dollop of fresh nutmeg and a nice touch of citrus zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and seamless, with the inherent power of the 2002 vintage very much in evidence in its bottomless core, but with the overall profile of the wine one of unrepentant refinement. As stunningly beautiful as the fruit component is here, the wine is more defined by its brilliant mineral drive on the palate, with its elegant mousse, perfect balance and very, very long, nascently complex and laser-like finish the stuff of legends. The wine seems to attain its lift and backend energy from its limestone mineral drive, rather than the bright, zesty acidity and the overall impression is of almost otherworldly perfection."(100pts JG)1 bottle per lot $1000-1400

currants, plums, cherries, toast, minerals, and smoke cascades from the glass."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $240-350

13065 Continuum Red - Vintage 20122x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"...a dense bluish/purple color and a beautiful nose of blueberries, violets, a touch of licorice, truffle and background oak. This full-bodied wine displays beautifully sweet and well-integrated tannin as well as loads of forest floor and spice box. A complex, Bordeaux-styled wine, it is approachable and dramatic, even ostentatious, as many 2012s tend to be, so there's no harm in drinking it now or cellaring it for another 20+ years."(96pts)12 bottles per lot $1600-2000

13069 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2000Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"A spectacular effort clearly my favorite vintage of this wine since the 1989 and 1990. An inky purple color offers up notes of barbecue spices intermixed with new saddle leather, creme de cassis, melted licorice, creosote, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied, tremendously concentrated, with sweet tannin and a seamless finish that goes on for close to one minute. This wine has great purity, tremendous texture, and fabulous upside potential."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $170-220

13070 Musigny - Vintage 1996D. Laurent1nl (Wines Located in New York)"A monument. Starts out with a monolithic, hard-to-penetrate aroma of wood from all that oak, but there is so much pure, ripe, sweet fruit that all the parts just seem to balance. A seamless, huge red Burgundy built for the pleasure in the next millennium."(97pts WS)2 bottles per lot $800-1100

Gros Frere et Soeur(Wines Located in New York)"A restrained but elegant and very floral nose also speaks of red currant, plum, blue berry and hoisin is trimmed in a relatively curtailed application of oak. The equally reserved but powerful and big-bodied flavors brim with dry extract that renders the dense tannins less obvious than they would otherwise be on the firm and hugely long finish."(94pts BH)3 bottles per lot $1000-1400

13073 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1999La Turque, E. Guigallstl, lscl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"This wine is perfect. It is undoubtedly the greatest vintage for Guigal since 1978. Take all the characteristics I described for the wines in 1998 and 1997, then add an ethereal lightness of character, surreal aromatics, and a seamlessness that is uncanny given the massive richness and layers of flavors this wine possesses. The explosive aromatics tend to be more exaggerated in 1999. The wine is more evolved and seductive than the 1998s, but its aging potential should not be underestimated. It has at least two decades of life. In short, Guigal has performed a classic hat trick in 1999 with his La La's."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $500-650

_____________________________

13074 Château Beychevelle - Vintage 1982St. Julienbn, lgsl, lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"... remains unformed in its voluminous, chunky, rich, full-bodied, atypical style. The wine is loaded with black fruits, and the long, rich finish displays considerable soft tannin. Low acidity gives the wine plenty of upfront appeal in that fleshy, flamboyant style of so many 1982s. The color remains a dense garnet/purple, and there is little evolution in the wine's bouquet."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

13075 Château Calon Segur - Vintage 1982St. Estephe2ts, 2lbsl, 2ltl, 1lgsl, 2sdc, 1scc (Wines Located in New York)" It is made in a traditional style, so do not expect to get turned-on by lavish quantities of vanillin-scented, toasty new oak, and sweet jammy fruit. Although massive, with incredible richness and plenty of fruit, this wine is dominated by its blackcurrant, mineral, cedar character. The copious tannins are still present, but they are integrated with the wine's other components. This classic Calon-Segur is built to stand the test of time. From a half-bottle it should reach full maturity by the turn of the century and last for at least 20-30 years. This is a remarkable wine that should find many admirers among true connoisseurs."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

13076 Château Canon - Vintage 1982St. Emilionbn, lgsl, nl, lwrl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"This had a great nose, with that St, Emilion/Cab Franc thing happening, again with violets but also with great musk. The wine was round and tasty with nice stones, herbs and purple kink. It, too, was on the border of outstanding, but it just made it across. A real pleaser, especially given the price in the market."(95pts JK)1 bottle per lot $180-240

13077 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1982St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"...the 1982 Ducru-Beaucaillou is unquestionably the best wine made at this estate since 1961. The concentrated, viscous, dark ruby/purple color is followed by explosive aromas of spring flowers, blackcurrants, minerals, and toast. It is fuller-bodied than normal, with remarkable delineation, great richness, and that wonderful sweetness that is a hallmark of this vintage."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

13078 Château Grand Puy Lacoste - Vintage 1982Pauillac1ts, 1vhs, 1lbsl, 1hgsl, 1lwrl, 1sdc, 1dc, 1scc (Wines Located in New York)"Its nose was rich, buttery and heavy with blacker walnut, slate and nutty aromas. Garden and fresh herbs added complexity to this rock solid wine. There were more tannins here on its rich palate, which had great minerality on its finish. This was still young."(95+pts JK)2 bottles per lot $400-550

13079 Château Gruaud Larose - Vintage 1982St. Julien1lwisl, 1sdc, 1scc (Wines Located in New York)"Exhibits an explosive nose of new saddle leather, plums, prunes, black cherry jam, chocolate, steak tartar, and roasted espresso. Unbelievably powerful, thick, and intense, with full body, mouth-searing tannin levels, a grilled steak-like flavor, and a huge, intense finish..."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $650-900

13080 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1982Graveslbsl, lgsl, lscl, nc (Wines Located in New York)"Flamboyant aromas of smoked meat, leather, truffle and burnished oak. Intensely flavored and penetrating, with strong acids giving the flavors terrific cut and grip. My second bottle showed even more extravagantly expressive aromas of hot stones, tobacco, minerals and marzipan; a denser, silkier palate impression, with more obvious roasted Graves character; and an uncanny combination of sheer sweetness with structure and grip."(96pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $700-900

13082 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1982Graves2lwrl, 1lwisl, 1tc (Wines Located in New York)"A thick, unctuously-textured wine with massive richness as well as abundant notes of black fruits, truffles, creosote, scorched earth, smoke, and camphor, a colossal mouthfeel, a layered texture, incredible depth of fruit and glycerin, and copious, but well-integrated tannins that are largely concealed by the incredible amount of fruit. An old school La Mission, it is a tour de force that should continue to age effortlessly for another 40+ years."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $2000-2600

13083 Château Margaux - Vintage 1982Margaux1lgsl (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)2 bottles per lot $1600-2200

13084 Château Montrose - Vintage 1982St. Estephe2bn, 2lstl, 2ltl (Wines Located in New York)"It had a gorgeous nose that was nutty, honeyed, sweet and balanced with great caramel qualities.

13085 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1982Pauillacbn, lbsl, nl, scc, tc (Wines Located in New York)"...phenomenally dense and muscular It is immune to oxidation! Moreover, it has a level of concentration that represents the essence of the Mouton terroir as well as the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon it contains. Cassis, cedar, spice box, minerals, and vanillin are all present, but this opaque black/purple Pauillac has yet to reveal secondary nuances given its youthfulness. It exhibits huge tannin, unreal levels of glycerin and concentration, and spectacular sweetness and opulence. Nevertheless, it demands another decade of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for another seven or eight

decades. I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years! The fact that it resists oxidation is a testament to just how youthful it remains, and how long it will last."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $1000-1400

13086 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1990Pauillaclgsl (Wines Located in New York)"Full, deep red. Knockout smoky nose of cedar, leather, earth, truffle and game. Then rather tightly coiled and far less pliant than the nose would suggest. Strong acids contribute to this wine rather powerful structure. But I don't find the flesh shown by the best wines from this vintage. Finishes quite firm, youthfully backward and persistent."(90+?pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $350-500

13090 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 1982St. Estephelgsl, sdc, scc (Wines Located in New York)"Cos d Estournel s 1982 exhibits a dark ruby/purple color with light pink at the rim.

13091 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 2003St. Estephelstl (Wines Located in New York)"...an inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by a compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, pain grille, incense, and flowers.

13093 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 2000Graves(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted from an ex-château bottle in Bordeaux, I was not surprised to find the 2000 Château Haut-Brion flirting with perfection. The nose is simply breathtaking - quintessential Haut-Brion with ebullient red berry fruit, roasted herbs, gravel, terracotta tiles on a warm summer's day...it is simply wave after wave of intoxicating scents that could bring even the most stoic person to tears of joy. The palate displays heavenly balance, pitch-perfect acidity, perhaps spicier than previous bottles that I have tasted, and what depth and dimension in this outstanding wine. That hint of graphite on the finish is a cheeky nod to Pauillac, as if to thumb its nose at the First Growths, because alongside Château Latour, almost by stealth, the Haut-Brion is one of the greatest Bordeaux in this millennial year. Tasted November 2014."(99+pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

13096 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1990Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"...has been drinking well since the day it was released and it continues to go from strength to strength. The biggest, richest, fullest-bodied Lynch Bages until the 2000, the fully mature 1990 exhibits an unbelievably explosive nose of black currants, cedarwood, herbs and spice. The majestic, classically Bordeaux aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, voluptuously textured, rich, intense wine with superb purity as well as thrilling

levels of fruit, glycerin and sweetness."(99pts)2 bottles per lot $600-800

13097 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 2000Pauillacspc (Wines Located in New York)"Beginning to open magnificently, the still dense purple-colored 2000 reveals a blossoming bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the all-time great examples of Lynch Bages, the 2000 is just beginning to drink well yet promises to last for another 20-25+ years."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

13136 Château Calon Segur - Vintage 1982St. Estephets, hbsl, wasl (Wines Located in New York)" It is made in a traditional style, so do not expect to get turned-on by lavish quantities of vanillin-scented, toasty new oak, and sweet jammy fruit. Although massive, with incredible richness and plenty of fruit, this wine is dominated by its blackcurrant, mineral, cedar character. The copious tannins are still present, but they are integrated with the wine's other components. This classic Calon-Segur is built to stand the test of time. From a half-bottle it should reach full maturity by the turn of the century and last for at least 20-30 years. This is a remarkable wine that should find many admirers among true connoisseurs."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

13137 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 1986St. Estephebsl (Wines Located in New York)"This is the most powerful and tannic Cos d'Estournel made during the decade of the eighties. The color is still an impressive, nearly opaque dark ruby/purple. Except for some subtle aromas of toasty vanillin oak and cassis, the nose is closed and unevolved. In the mouth this full-bodied wine, which exhibits no signs of evolution, is firmly structured with medium to full-body, outstanding depth, and a hard, though not abrasive, exceptionally long finish."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

13138 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1981St. Julienbn, bsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)1 bottle per lot $80-110

13139 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1982St. Julien

bsl, gsl (Wines Located in New York)"...the 1982 Ducru-Beaucaillou is unquestionably the best wine made at this estate since 1961. The concentrated, viscous, dark ruby/purple color is followed by explosive aromas of spring flowers, blackcurrants, minerals, and toast. It is fuller-bodied than normal, with remarkable delineation, great richness, and that wonderful sweetness that is a hallmark of this vintage."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

13140 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1990Gravesbsl (Wines Located in New York)"1990: In terms of the brilliant complexity and nobility of the aromatics, scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices, the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled. It is always fascinating to taste this wine next to the 1989, which is a monumental effort, but much more backward and denser, without the aromatic complexity of the 1990. The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion's standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top vintage."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $750-1000

13141 Château La Dominique - Vintage 1982St. Emilionvhs, hbsl, hgsl, tl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"This dark plum/garnet-colored, extraordinarily fragrant 1982 offers a terrific bouquet of roasted coffee, cedar wood, prunes, plums, and cherry liqueur. Sexy, opulently-textured, medium to full-bodied, and extremely low in acidity, it boasts wonderfully fresh fruit."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $70-90

13142 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 1982St. Julienbn, bsl, hgsl (Wines Located in New York)"...exhibits a saturated, nearly opaque dark ruby/garnet color, as well as a tight but promising bouquet of roasted nuts, dried herbs, and rich, jammy, curranty fruit. The most impressive components are the exceptional richness and textured feel. An opaque dark garnet color is followed by aromas of sweet cedar, old wood, truffles, smoke, and underbrush. Big, thick, juicy, black currant, and cherry flavors can be found in this muscular, monster-sized, exceedingly tannic, dense, backward wine. The finish must last for nearly a minute in this young, spectacularly rich, old style St.-Julien."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

13143 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1988Pauillacbsl, wasl (Wines Located in New York)"... is one of the best efforts of the vintage. Although the bouquet is still reserved, it reveals attractive herbal, cassis, smoky aromas. In the mouth, there is considerable richness and weight, a full-bodied,

13146 Sine Qua Non Grenache - Vintage 2015Le Chemin Vers L'Heresie(Wines Located in New York)"It has a deep garnet-purple color and fragrant nose of violets, kirsch, blueberry compote and dark chocolate with hints of lavender, smoky bacon, Provence herbs and menthol. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and bold, the wines bursts with energy, superbly framed by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with lingering sautéed herbs and black pepper notions."(98+pts)6 bottles per lot $1500-2000

13147 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2015Trouver L'Arene(Wines Located in New York)"...deep purple-black color with intense cassis, black plums and black cherries scents plus hints of anise, violets, sage and tar, with wafts of savory/smoked meat suggestions. Full-bodied, this voluptuous beauty is seriously singing in the mouth, belting out vibrant red and black fruit flavor layers, all framed by very fine, rounded, ripe tannins and a wonderful freshness, finishing with persistent perfumed fruit and a spring in its step."(100pts)6 bottles per lot $1800-2400

Already compelling, the wine has notes of roasted coffee, charcoal, blackberry, spring flowers, and some background sweet, toasty notes. Dense, fleshy, exuberant, even flamboyant by the standards of Bill Harlan, this wine exhibits no jaggedness or rough edges, has relatively high tannins, but they melt away on the palate. The wine is sensationally well-endowed, long, and rich a tour de force in winemaking. They can do no wrong at Harlan..."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $1000-1400

Adamant stoniness; iodine; apricot kernel, plum pit, and cherry stone bitterness as well as a firm texture lend the palate a certain austerity and restraint, without the meltingly savory crustacean or musky animal dimensions I usually associate with this site.

13235 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1995lscl (Wines Located in New York)"Wonderfully subtle, complex aromas of white flowers, acacia honey, minerals, nuts and mushroom, with musky and leesy nuances. Oily, rich and smoky but with terrific verve and lift. Quite substantial and chewy for a young D.P. but not at all heavy. Yellow plum and strong soil tones in the middle and on the palate-staining finish. Offers a rare combination of richness and finesse."(95pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $200-260

13236 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2002nl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2002 Dom Pérignon speaks to opulence and intensity. Rich, layered and voluptuous in the glass, the 2002 shows off its flamboyant personality with flair. Butter, cooked apple and tropically-leaning fruits mesh together effortlessly. Interestingly, with time in the glass the 2002 gains in freshness and energy without losing its essential opulence. The elevated ripeness of the year gives the 2002 Dom Pérignon distinctly Puligny-Montrachet leaning inflections. Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy adds that August that year was hot and very dry. Rain towards the end of the month and into early September freshened the vines and accelerated the final phase of ripening. This is yet another fabulous showing from the 2002, which continues to cement its reputation as a truly epic Dom Pérignon."(98pts VM)1 bottle per lot $150-200

This is an especially racy Sassicaia."(94pts)5 bottles per lot $750-1000

13239 Dominus - Vintage 20081x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Made in a more masculine style, the 2008 Dominus has all of that along with bigger body and more structure, fat, density and texture. Both are brilliant wines and they represent the finest back-to-back vintages for Dominus since 2001 and 2002 or 1990 and 1991. Both the 2007 and 2008 Dominus should drink well for 25-30 years."(99pts)6 bottles per lot $950-1300

13242 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 2000St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"A stunning wine from Ducru Beaucaillou which showcases its great terroir, this elegant but substantial 2000 has a dense purple color that has hardly budged since it was first bottled. Displaying a floral note, with hints of boysenberries, black raspberries, black currants and a touch of background oak, the wine has superb concentration and density, but still has some substantial tannins that are not yet fully resolved. I originally predicted that it should be drinkable from 2010-2030, but I would modify that now to 2015-2035."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

The Phelps team kept this cuvée in 100% new French oak for 28 months. Its magnificent structure, intensity and purity of fruit, ripeness, balance combined with authoritative power and the magnetic appeal of this full-bodied, Bordeaux-styled wine are extraordinary. This amazing effort is just coming into its best years, and should drink well for at least another 15-20 years."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

13246 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 1995Insignia2nl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"A wine of great intensity and richness, it displays classic notes of licorice, barbecue smoke, creme de cassis, cedarwood and forest floor.

I would not describe it as elegant, but rather, it is a big, backstrapping, Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine that should continue to drink well for 15 or more years."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $220-300

Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors.

Full-bodied, with substantial quantities of glycerin and extract, this wine's large-scaled tannin seems to be well-submerged beneath the wine's fabulous layers of fruit.

13263 Dominus - Vintage 19892lbsl, 2lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"This is undoubtedly the Cabernet Sauvignon of the vintage.

13264 Dominus - Vintage 19901bn, 1nc (Wines Located in New York)"This spectacularly complex, rich wine magically combines the finest elements of Napa Valley (strength, ripeness, and full body) with those of Bordeaux (finesse, elegance, and complexity). The opaque dark ruby/purple color suggests considerable intensity, low yields, and great richness. A huge, soaring bouquet offers aromas of cassis, black-cherries, subtle herbs, vanillin, and spices. This full-bodied, voluptuously-textured, super-concentrated, multi-dimensional wine is more flattering and opulent that previous Dominus vintages, which tended to be tannic as well as rich. Although approachable and already complex (I have already consumed three bottles), the magnificent 1990 Dominus should evolve gracefully for 20-30 years. The 1990 is the finest wine Christian Moueix and his partners, Robin Lail and Marci Smith, have produced, although the 1991, which will be released in a year, may even eclipse the 1990!"(98pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

am reminded of a great vintage of Pétrus such as 1982, 1989 or 1990. Although different, the 1991 Dominus possesses extraordinary intensity, remarkable opulence, and amazing fruit extraction, all welded to a full-bodied structure. The wine's sensational purity and inner-core of depth must be tasted to be believed. The 1991 will be approachable young because of its sweet tannin, yet it exhibits the potential to last for 25 years. Perhaps 1994 will rival it, but for now, the 1991 is unquestionably the greatest Dominus, as well as a potential legend in the making."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $240-350

Awesomely rich, and full-bodied, with superb length, richness, and overall balance, it possesses a huge mid-palate, layers of flavor, an unctuous texture, and a blockbuster finish. Everything is in place, with the brandy and tannin well-integrated, even concealed by the masses of fruit and glycerin."(97pts)6 bottles per lot $600-800

This opaque purple-colored wine is not as developed or flamboyant as Fonseca, but it is super-concentrated and multi-layered, with huge masses of fruit and some tannin in the finish. This is a slightly drier style than Fonseca or Graham's, but it appears to be a classic, majestic, enormously constituted 1994 that should age effortlessly for three decades or more.

(Wines Located in New York)"Remarkably perfumed nose projects an exotic bouquet of deep, leesy yellow fruit, minerals, honeycomb, smoked meat and flowers, with Asian spices building expanding in the glass. Almost painfully concentrated, offering a surreal parade of orchard and pit fruits, smoked meat, toasted brioche and marrow braced by intensely salty, stunningly incisive minerality. Imagine a Frankenstein's monster of Chablis Le Clos and Clos Ste. Hune-but one with perfect balance, of course-and you get an idea of what I found in my bottle. The energetic, stony character builds exponentially on the finish, which didn't seem to, well, finish. The best analogy I can come up with for the intensity, focus and clarity of this Champagne is liquefied barbed wire. Utterly hallucinatory and one of the most amazing wines I've ever been fortunate enough to drink."(99+pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $300-400

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.

13346 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Collection Charles Giraud, Domaine St. Prefert(Wines Located in New York)"Absolutely prodigious, and, like the other two 2007s, superior to what I predicted last year, is the utterly perfect 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape Collection Charles Giraud. Made from 80-year-old Grenache (60%) and 60-year-old Mouvedre (40%) and aged totally in 600-liter demi-muids, I have had this wine a half dozen times, and it has been perfect on every occasion. It offers a mouthful of Châteauneuf du Pape filled with elegance, purity, and laser-like focus. The dark plum/purple color is accompanied by notes of camphor, ground pepper, sweet blackberry and black cherry fruit interwoven with licorice, garrigue, and spice box. In that sense, it is the quintessential expression of a Châteauneuf du Pape, Provence, and the southern Rhône. The wine hits the palate with a glorious display of red and black fruits, herbs, and spices. Full-bodied, meaty, rich, and chewy with extraordinary purity and intensity as well as a multilayered texture and a 60+ second finish, this amazing wine offers up a smorgasbord of aromas and flavors. Furthermore, everything is perfectly balanced. Already irresistible.(100pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

Sauternes(Wines Located in New York)"A sensational Yquem, 1997 may be this estate's finest effort since 1990 (although I would not discount the 1996 turning out to be nearly as good). The 1997's light gold color is accompanied a gorgeous perfume of caramel, honeysuckle, peach, apricot, and smoky wood.

13361 Clos Vougeot - Vintage 2005L. Jadot1nl (Wines Located in New York)"Charred meat, black currant, and wet stone characterize the bouquet of Jadot's 2005 Clos Vougeot. Savory, salty, brightly-fruited and invigoratingly juicy on the palate, this displays more energy and acidity than I would have expected from the appellation. For all of the clarity and juiciness of this wine's fruit, grilled meat and stony earthiness combined with the emergence of formidable tannins and subtle but persistent cyanic and iodine notes to turn its formidably long finish somewhat austere. But this is going to result in an exciting rendition of its terroir if left in the dark for at least 6-8 years."(93-95pts)3 bottles per lot $300-420

It boasts a dense purple color as well as notes of beef blood, creme de cassis, licorice, incense and spring flowers. It looks more like a 2-year-old wine than one that has seen its tenth birthday. Mouth-coating, unctuously textured, corpulent but well-delineated, this is a spectacular Proprietary Red that is even greater than I remember it in its youth. Bravo to Jayson Pahlmeyer (I believe his winemaker at the time was Erin Green) for this dynamic duo of 2004s."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $75-100

13410 Pahlmeyer Red - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)As for the 2005 Proprietary Red, it is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% each Petit Verdot and Malbec. While this might not be the blockbuster one would expect, there is outstanding depth, purity and overall texture and ripeness. Again, terrific acidity gives the wine vigor and precision, despite a lofty 15.2% alcohol. The wine is fresh and pure, with black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, some white floral notes, and the telltale forest floor. This is a wine to drink over the next 10-15+ years. Pahlmeyer's wines age well, as I am still working off the 1995 and 1996 Proprietary Reds, which remain in great shape.(95pts RP)1 bottle per lot $100-130

13444 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1989St. Julienlbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1989 Ducru Beaucaillou has an unenviable reputation as a hit 'n miss wine, since this was the period when the château suffered a TCA infection in the roof. This bottle seemed to have been affected, but perhaps that diverts you from this rather humdrum Ducru compared to recent spectacular vintages courtesy of Bruno Borie. The nose is staid and lacks fruit concentration in the context of the vintage, dusty and smudged. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin, somehow hollow and shallow with a very one-dimensional finish that doesn't exactly leave you begging for another sip. If you want to play Russian roulette, then go for the 1989, though personally I would prefer to drink any vintage from the last decade. Tasted April 2016."(86?pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

More similar to the 1990 than the 1989, the 1994 exhibits an opaque purple color. The nose offers intense, overripe cassis aromas mixed with minerals, vanilla, and floral scents. Extremely powerful and remarkably concentrated, this unctuously-textured, massive wine is crammed with highly-extracted fruit that nearly masks a tannin level equal to that achieved in 1990."(91pts)6 bottles per lot $350-500

13490 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 1990Pauillaclbsl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1990 Pichon-Longueville Baron has always been one of my benchmark wines, one that never ceases to perform. Now at 27 years of age, it is clearly at its peak, and what a wondrous thing it is. Now showing some bricking on the rim, the bouquet is utterly sublime, with red berries, cedar, touches of graphite, crushed rose petals and incense. You just want to become enveloped by these aromas. The palate is perfectly balanced, perhaps not as structured as it once showed since the tannins have mellowed, but what you get is a Pauillac relishing its secondary phase, which is almost Burgundy-like in terms of mouthfeel. Suffused with tension, it gains weight in the mouth toward the slightly tart finish. It is a Pichon Baron that only knows how to give sophisticated drinking pleasure. I once wrote that Pichon Baron is better than many 1990 First Growth, and that is a statement I have no reason to change. Tasted April 2017."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $240-320

(Wines Located in New York)"A spectacular effort clearly my favorite vintage of this wine since the 1989 and 1990. An inky purple color offers up notes of barbecue spices intermixed with new saddle leather, creme de cassis, melted licorice, creosote, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied, tremendously concentrated, with sweet tannin and a seamless finish that goes on for close to one minute. This wine has great purity, tremendous texture, and fabulous upside potential."(97pts)5 bottles per lot $800-1100

13494 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2009Pauillac1nl (Wines Located in New York)"An amazing opaque blue/purple color is followed by scents of spring flowers, graphite, smoky charcoal, incense, blackberries, blueberries and hints of coffee and chocolate. Incredibly intense, pure and flawlessly constructed with extravagant layers of fruit and richness, this offering has developed beautifully under the management of Christian Seeley."(98pts)4 bottles per lot $500-750

13496 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 1988Sauternes3bn, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"...displays more richness and unctuosity than any young d'Yquem I have tasted. It should have 40-60 years of positive evolution, although one suspects that much of the production will be consumed within the next 4-5 years. If my instincts are correct, this is the most profound d'Yquem since the legendary 1959. It may not prove as timeless as the 1975, but I believe it to be even more concentrated."(99pts)3 half-bottles per lot $450-600

Made from 80-year old vines, harvested grape by grape, and with yields of 12 hectoliters per hectare (under one ton of fruit per acre), this wine boasts a glorious nose of apricot jam, tangerine essence, and subtle spicy oak. With its profound richness, blazingly vivid definition, huge body, viscous thickness (with no heaviness), and finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this nectar constitutes one of the most extraordinary sweet wines I have ever tasted."(100pts)2 500mls per lot $200-280

(Wines Located in New York)"...should last for three decades. The full-bodied, intense, dense ruby/purple-colored 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate reveals a closed, reticent bouquet of minerals, cr me de cassis, and spice. This rich, full-bodied effort should be going strong 20-30 years from now. This is another example of why Château Montelena over the last thirty years has been the most consistently fine producer of top-flight, world-class Napa Cabernet Sauvignon!"(95pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

13500 Dominus - Vintage 1994(Wines Located in New York)"...strikingly thick, compellingly rich wine with the texture of a great Pomerol, despite being made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine exhibits a dense purple color, and an incredibly fragrant nose of jammy black fruits, spice, smoke, and loamy, truffle-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, with thrilling levels of extract and richness, but no sense of heaviness or harshness. This seamless Dominus possesses no hard edges, as its acidity, tannin, and alcohol are beautifully meshed with copious quantities of ripe fruit."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

This classic, rich wine, with a sweet, ripe mid-palate, displays a full-bodied, layered, super-concentrated personality. Although still a baby in terms of development, it is remarkably successful because of the ripe tannin, high glycerin, and intensity of fruit. It will easily last for two decades, although I suspect most of it will be consumed within 7-10 hours of purchase."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $100-110

13507 Opus One - Vintage 2006lwasl (Wines Located in New York)"The tannins are bolder, more dramatic, and more present.

blueberries, and pain grille (toast) notes in this lavishly rich, flamboyant proprietary red. The wine's flavors lingered for 42 seconds on the palate. Full-bodied, marvelously concentrated, and extremely well-balanced, this wine's acidity, tannin, and high alcohol are completely buried beneath the complex fruit and extract of this profound offering.

13567 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 2007Insignia(Wines Located in New York)"Aged 24 months in new French oak, this infant 2007 exhibits an inky/purple color along with notes of graphite, spring flowers and smoky oak. This full-bodied, classic Insignia reveals fabulous depth, ripeness, texture, viscosity and richness.

Margauxts, bsl, wasl (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

13587 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1976Pauillachtms, bsl, hgsl, excellent color (Wines Located inNew York)"The 1976 Mouton Rothschild had a nutty nose that was much fuller bodied, smells young' as one put it. Its palate matched its fullness with touches of caramel. It had a creamy palate, with a solid foundation, and an enjoyable, round finish."(93pts JK)1 bottle per lot $260-350

13588 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1982Pauillacbn, lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"...phenomenally dense and muscular It is immune to oxidation! Moreover, it has a level of concentration that represents the essence of the Mouton terroir as well as the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon it contains. Cassis, cedar, spice box, minerals, and vanillin are all present, but this opaque black/purple Pauillac has yet to reveal secondary nuances given its youthfulness. It exhibits huge tannin, unreal levels of glycerin and concentration, and spectacular sweetness and opulence. Nevertheless, it demands another decade of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for another seven or eight decades. I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years! The fact that it resists oxidation is a testament to just how youthful it remains, and how long it will last."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $1000-1400

13589 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1990Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Full, deep red. Knockout smoky nose of cedar, leather, earth, truffle and game. Then rather tightly coiled and far less pliant than the nose would suggest. Strong acids contribute to this wine rather powerful structure. But I don't find the flesh shown by the best wines from this vintage. Finishes quite firm, youthfully backward and persistent."(90+?pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $350-500

13591 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 2004Pauillacnl (Wines Located in New York)"Beautiful aromas of crushed berries and chocolate, with hints of Indian spices. Full-bodied, with silky, velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. A lovely wine for the vintage. This is the first wine from the new winemaking team at Mouton and is showing really well."(93pts WS)1 bottle per lot $350-500

13592 Château Palmer - Vintage 1982Margauxts, lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Full, deep red. Spicy aromas of cassis and rose petal, with a whiff of meat. Then wonderfully penetrating and classy, with bright acidity giving the wine superb clarity and thrust. This has terrific structure. Finishes very long and fine, with excellent grip. By far the finest bottle I've tasted to date of this wine, and one of the real surprises of the tasting."(93pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $260-350

13593 Château Palmer - Vintage 1998Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"A classic Margaux, the 1998 Palmer has put on weight and fleshed out during its elevage in barrel. It displays a dense purple color as well as a sumptuous bouquet of black fruits, licorice, melted asphalt, pain grill , and a touch of acacia flowers. Full-bodied, with brilliant definition, this blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a dollop of Petit Verdot, will age well for 20-30 years. It is one of the M doc's, as well as the Margaux appellation's finest wines of the vintage."(91pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

Frightfully concentrated with layers of glycerin and fruit, it should prove to be one of the appellation s greatest classics. More backward than either the 1998 or 2000 Capos, it is an enormously endowed, hugely concentrated, exhilarating effort that will last for three decades or more. It is a strong candidate for the wine of the vintage."(99-100pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

13599 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2003cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegaunl (Wines Located in New York)"...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."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $75-100

The palate is medium-bodied with honey, quince and a touch of bitter orange. While the nose does not quite live up to the previous bottle that I tasted, the 2005 could be considered to be the first vintage to relive the glories of yesteryear, before the vineyard fell into deprivation and flirted with extinction. Drink this now and over the next decade. Tasted April 2016."(90pts)24 half-bottles per lot $190-240

13702 Château Gazin - Vintage 1990Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"There is something about Gazin, particularly in its sweet, oaky, plummy, coffee-scented bouquet, that reminds me of modern day vintages of Pétrus. This is not a blockbuster Pomerol, but one that stresses elegance allied with excellent ripeness, medium body, and a fleshy yet graceful, silky finish. It should be drinkable in 3-4 years and last up to two decades. Quite impressive!"(93pts)2 bottles per lot $160-220

13703 Château Grand Puy Lacoste - Vintage 2005Pauillacltl (Wines Located in New York)"...exhibits classic Pauillac aromas and flavors of creme de cassis along with stony/floral notes. Proprietor Xavier Borie has created a wine that should rival the brilliant 1982, 1990, 1996, and 2000. Full-bodied with sweet tannin and superb length (a 40+ second finish), the purity of this beauty s black currant fruit is something to behold."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

13704 Château L'Arrosee - Vintage 1990St. Emilion2lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"... reveals gobs of tannin, an herb and cassis-scented nose, but less obvious charm and sumptuousness than usual.

13706 Château Lagrange - Vintage 1990Graves1lgsl, 1lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"This muscular, thick, unctuous, lavishly-oaked wine may cause raised eyebrows by those looking for something restrained and understated. There is no doubting the hedonistic appeal of this style of wine. The 1990 is another massive, highly-extracted, boldly-wooded, spicy, dark purple-colored wine with high tannin, low acidity, and layers of jammy fruit. The huge glycerin and massive mouthfeel in this unctuously-textured wine are difficult to ignore. I suspect this wine will become more defined after it loses its baby fat."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $200-260

13707 Château Latour a Pomerol - Vintage 1982Pomerolbn, lbsl, ltl (Wines Located in New York)"...offer a dark ruby/garnet-colored wine, with an intensely fragrant, forceful, spicy, sweet, pain grillee, black-cherry, mocha, and herb-scented nose. Lush, opulent flavors cascade across the palate with no astringency or tartness. It is a plump, fleshy, delicious wine that can be drunk now or held for another decade."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $200-260

13708 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 1985St. Julien3bn, 2lbsl, 3sdc, 1scc (Wines Located in New York)"Deep ruby/garnet with a complex, complete, and intense bouquet of sweet, superripe, curranty fruit, minerals, cedar, spice, and baked herbs, this medium-bodied wine has exceptional balance, fine length, gobs of fruit, and soft tannin in the velvety finish. This classic claret is a joy to drink."(92pts)3 bottles per lot $260-350

13709 Château Montrose - Vintage 1985St. Estephelbsl, lscl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1985 had a gorgeous nose: forward, fragrant and seductive. There was plump cassis, plum, chocolate, nut, caramel, cedar, minerals, pencil, bread and earth all dancing in unison in its nose. Steve called it 'rich, especially compared to 1986,' and the palate was just delicious with its round and rich flavors, with more of the earth and mineral shades exerting themselves. The saltiness of St. Est phe seemed to be taking charge, and there were more tannins and acidity than I expected on the palate; it was still less dry and tannic than the 1986 but just as good if not slightly better at this stage. Bipin, right on cue, went into his 1985 vs. 1986 spiel, which is how 1985 is superior to 1986 and that the two vintages are similar to 1953 vs. 1952. For this wine and this moment, the case could be made, although I thought the 1985 lost its focus more over time in the glass, but it was certainly the most enjoyable of the first flight at the moment. James called it 'softer, rounder and more ready, but I like the more austere quality of 1986.'..."(93pts JK)1 bottle per lot $80-110

13714 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2000Howell Mountaincrc (Wines Located in New York)?"Saturated ruby. Wild aromas of crushed dark berries, leather and meat.

More expressive, expansive flavors of black raspberry, minerals and game."(91-94pts VM)1 bottle per lot $60-80

13715 Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1985Monte Bello2lscl (Wines Located in New York)"Along with the Dunn Howell Mountain and Château Montelena 1985s, Ridge's Monte Bello is among the most backward wines of the vintage, but it is so promising. I do not intend to touch another bottle before 2005 - it is still that youthful and closed. It offers a good education in what great young wine is all about. The beautiful ruby/purple color exhibits no signs of age. The sweet nose of cassis fruit, lead pencil, flowers, and minerals is followed by a full-bodied, opulent wine with a boatload of tannin. This huge, massive yet well-delineated and focused wine should prove to be uncommonly long-lived."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $700-950

13742 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1991

1nl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Production: 19,500 cases; Alcohol: 14%; Blend: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc; Harvest Dates: October 12 - November 11 The second largest production of Beringer's Private Reserve, the 1991 came in just behind the 24,000 cases of the 1997. Interestingly, these are among the greatest Private Reserves made, and as Ed Sbragia told me, it was just one of those perfect vintages. One of the longest and coolest growing seasons in the history of California, it was marked by cool temperatures throughout the summer and a perfect Indian Summer. The hang time of the grapes, ranging from the date of flowering to the date of harvest, was historically long (I do not believe it has been equaled since). The Cabernet Sauvignon came from the same three sources as the 1990, Bancroft Ranch, the Home Vineyard in St. Helena, and Chabot Vineyard, and the tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc was from the Bancroft Ranch site. I've enjoyed many bottles of this spectacular effort, which still possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sumptuous nose of spring flowers, graphite, loamy soil, creme de cassis, black cherries and blackberries. With sweet tannin, a full-bodied mouthfeel and incredible purity as well as youthfulness, this wine has another 15-20 years of life left in it. If this were a Bordeaux, one would think it was 8-10 years old, not two decades. There are no hard edges, and the seamless integration of all the component parts make it one of the prodigious Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserves to drink now as well as over the next 20 years."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $200-280

13854 Château Montrose - Vintage 2000St. Estephe2lscl (Wines Located in New York)"This estate has frequently hit the bull's eye over recent vintages, and the 2000 Montrose is the finest effort produced since the compelling 1990 and 1989.

14031 Domaine de Chevalier - Vintage 2000Graves(Wines Located in New York)"The 2000 Domaine de Chevalier has long been one of my favourite wines and now at 16 years of age, it continues to live up to expectations. It has a beautiful nose, so lively and vivacious, with black plum and blackberry, cedar and damp undergrowth scents, an undercurrent of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive definition, a fine thread of acidity, though still backward and intimating that there is "much more in the tank." The structure is wonderful here, though it does not quite deliver the length you might expect, which compelled me to dock a couple of points. The bottom line: it's a great Pessac-Léognan with a 30-40 year lifespan. Tasted January 2016."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80
