It has an iridescent amber hue. The nose is soft and plush with scents of golden syrup, fresh fig and marmalade. There is real power here, but there is something also mellow and alluring. The palate is very sensual on the entry, a little lower in acidity than the 1988. There is great depth to the 86 with luscious marmalade and quince notes that inform the rounded, botrytis-rich finish. Marvellous. Tasted April 2013."(94pts)9 bottles per lot $500-700

The 2006 Quartet reveals a dark ruby color along with notes of crushed rocks, spring flowers, red and black fruits, medium to full body, and elevated, austere tannins.

It has a generous bouquet of upfront red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, a little too ripe for my liking and when compared to previous vintages. The medium-bodied palate offers soft tannins, gentle grip and plenty of fleshy red fruit, although it is missing some grip and density toward the finish. Pleasant, but I would broach this in its youth."(88-90pts VM)12 bottles per lot $650-850

26470 Fleurie - Vintage 2018Clos Vernay, Lafarge-Vial1x6 magnum ocb (Wines Located in Delaware)"The bouquet is bright and very precise, offering up scents of pomegranate, black cherries, woodsmoke, gamebird, great minerality and a gentle topnote of violet.

Pure, elegant and precise in the mouth, with terrific energy and thrust to the flavors of crushed black fruits and spices. Perhaps best today on the sharply focused, gripping, palate-staining finish, which shows a captivating gingerbread spiciness.

Firm red fruits, dusty stone-like minerality, white flowers and a touch of rose all emerge from this medium-bodied, silky, lively and elegantly styled Pinot Noir.

26570 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2003Le Vieux Donjon(Wines Located in Delaware)"The powerful 2003 Châteauneuf-du-Pape comes closest in character to the 1990 (which is still drinking beautifully). Its dark ruby/plum/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of resiny pine forest interwoven with Crème de cassis, black cherries, melted licorice, and smoky herbs. In the mouth, gamy, meaty flavors emerge along with black currants, cherries, and a hint of the sushi wrapper called nori."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $150-200

26572 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Le Vieux Donjon1nl (Wines Located in Delaware)"Up there with the 2010 in terms of quality, the 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape dishes out loads of plum, lavender, ground pepper and licorice in its full-bodied, ripe and layered profile. Possessing a rock-star texture, no hard edges and beautiful concentration, it's drinking nicely now, and should continue to evolve gracefully for another decade."(96pts)12 bottles per lot $800-1100

produced the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Paradis, which used to be the Showket Vineyard on the red soils of the Oakville corridor near Dalla Valle, Rudd and Screaming Eagle. Aged in 100% Darnajou casks, this cuvée of 2,300 cases is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Cabernet Franc. Pauillac-like in a somewhat Lynch-Bages style, this meaty, fleshy wine has plenty of Crème de cassis, licorice, cedar wood and forest floor. It is full-bodied, opulent, and a beautiful example of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that should drink well for 25-30 years."(94pts)1 magnum per lot $260-350

26716 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2013RBS(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon RBS, also from clone 337, but in this case from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, shows an absolutely perfect 100-point nose of red, black and blue fruits, charcoal, graphite and forest floor. It hits the palate with a seamless integration of wood, tannin, acidity and alcohol and has tremendous opulence and palate presence in its full-bodied, long finish. On aromatics alone, it rates a perfect score, but I ended up being somewhat conservative I suppose. It should drink well for three decades as well."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $400-600

Medium to full-bodied, the palate is very elegant with a quiet intensity of citrus and stone fruit and a very long finish."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

26814 Château Grand Puy Lacoste - Vintage 2013Pauillac(Wines Located in Hong Kong)"The 2013 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and cedar fruit, nicely composed and delineated, not complex but harmonious. As usual, there is a conservative element to the aromatics in keeping with this estate's style. The palate is medium-bodied with appreciable mineralité on the entry. I like the edginess here, the framework and in particular the finesse that is not always apparent at Grand-Puy-Lacoste, at least at this early juncture. It might not be a long-term proposition, but it is certainly one of the finest Pauillac wines of the vintage courtesy of Xavier and Emeline Borie."(90pts)1 magnum per lot $75-100

There is a lovely mouth feel to the lighter than usual middle weight flavors that terminate in a firm and mildly austere but persistent

finish. This tautly muscular effort may be a bit lighter than usual but that doesn't mean that it will necessarily be accessible earlier, indeed this will need at least a decade of patience before it will be completely ready for prime time."(92pts BH)12 bottles per lot $450-600

27079 Château La Bienfaisance - Vintage 2005St. Emilion(Wines Located in Delaware)"Bright ruby-red. Aromas of kirsch and damp earth show an almost porty ripeness. Rich, broad and full but classically dry; offers impressive volume but comes across as a bit massive and chunky. This cold, north-facing terroir can support a hot year like 2005, notes consulting winemaker Stephane Derenoncourt. Still, I would not describe this as an elegant style. Finishes with building tannins."(88-91pts VM)12 bottles per lot $450-600

27081 La Romanée - Vintage 2006Comte Liger-Belair(Wines Located in Delaware)"This is as reserved and cool as the Reignots but more complex, refined and sophisticated still as it just exudes class and breed with a fantastically broad array of spicy and pure black fruit aromas where the reserve and spice components are also reflected by the minerally, serious and delicious medium full-bodied flavors brimming with s ve and extract on the very firm finish supported by buried tannins and huge length that doesn't stop. This isn't quite as concentrated and powerful as the '05 version but it's more than a respectable successor and there is so much sap that it gives the impression of being much more approachable now than it actually is."(95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $4200-5500

27082 La Romanée - Vintage 2012Comte Liger-Belair(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2012 La Romanée is a wine of effortless and utterly unforgettable beauty, soaring from the glass in an otherworldly blend of black plums, black raspberries, fresh nutmeg, kaleidoscopic soil tones, duck, incipient Vosne spices, dark chocolate and a very discreet base of new oak. I know that this wine was raised in one hundred percent new oak, but the depth of sappy fruit and the great signature of soil here have simply combined to devour the wood this year! On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, breathtakingly pure and utterly seamless, with a sappy core of gorgeous fruit, stunning transparency, very suave, silken tannins and brilliant backend energy that gives this supremely elegant wine a sense of vibrancy and purity that simply takes one's breath away! I simply cannot imagine a more profoundly refined and seamless example of this legendary vintage."(100pts JG)1 bottle per lot $5500-7500

27083 La Romanée - Vintage 2013Comte Liger-Belair(Wines Located in Delaware)"Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 La Romanée Grand Cru replicated its impressive showing last year. It has a beautiful, very pure bouquet with raspberry, briary, plenty of undergrowth and bay leaf all with fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and lithe tannin, crisp acidity, gentle grip with superb tension and structure on the pixelated finish. Deeply impressive -- as you would expect given the current market value of this wine! Tasted September 2016."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $4200-5500

27084 Richebourg - Vintage 1996Domaine Leroylscl, spc, scc (Wines Located in Delaware)"...has a dark ruby/purple color.

It is highly-structured and has copious tannins, yet they are enveloped in dense, thick fruit."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $7500-10000

27085 Romanée St. Vivant - Vintage 2011Domaine Leroyscl (Wines Located in Delaware)" A stunningly elegant, pure and almost diaphanous nose displays a dazzling array of spice and floral elements as well as both red and black pinot fruit scents. The mouth feel is concentrated yet incredibly refined with superb depth of material and flat out unbelievable complexity, all wrapped in a brilliantly persistent finish that floats across the palate."(98pts BH)1 bottle per lot $6500-8500

27086 Clos Vougeot - Vintage 2010Vieilles Vignes, cuvée Unique, G. Raphet


27087 Musigny - Vintage 2005J.F. Mugnier(Wines Located in Delaware)"Candor forces me to admit that mere words won't begin to do a wine like this justice so I will simply state that the Mugnier Musigny is a compelling candidate for wine of the vintage honors, which is saying something significant in such a gifted vintage like 2005. An incredibly complex and kaleidoscopic nose features a dazzling array of aromas, particularly violet and rose petal nuanced with anise, clove and cinnamon that merges seamlessly into sweet, pure and ultra refined full-bodied flavors that are harmonious and deep, with a driving tension that forces everything into striking relief yet the palate impression is pure velvet on the immensely long finish. Moreover, it delivers one of my favorite aspects of great burgundy, which is power without weight but in this case, the '05 Musigny is an enormously powerful wine but not especially weighty. In short, this is flat out brilliant and is a wine that you will definitely want in your cellar."(99pts BH)1 bottle per lot $4000-6000


27088 Chapelle Chambertin - Vintage 2004L. Jadot1x1 Jeroboam owc (Wines Located in Delaware)"Bright, deep red. Dark cherry, dried rose, licorice and a nutty nuance on the nose. Lush, sappy and dense, with compelling flavors of redcurrant, cherry and minerals. This has a liqueur-like quality without losing its sappy freshness or energy. Wonderfully light on its feet. The very long finish features a whiplash of flavor and lovely lingering perfume."(93pts VM)1 Jeroboam per lot $500-700

Classic and textbook in style, with ample cured meats, earth, herbs and mature currant and blackberry fruit, it flows onto the palate with full-bodied richness, a gorgeous texture and serious length. It's drinking beautifully now, but will continue to shine through 2021."(95pts)5 bottles per lot $400-600

27092 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2001Clos des Papes, P. Avril

(Wines Located in Delaware)"A blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourv dre, 10% Syrah, and 5% Counoise, all aged in large wood foudres prior to being bottled without filtration, was produced from low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a sweet bouquet of figs, raspberries, new saddle leather, autumnal forest floor, and resiny notes. Full-bodied with beautiful purity as well as a strikingly rich mouthfeel, this seriously endowed Châteauneuf admirably conceals its 14.5% alcohol. A structured finish and impressive extract levels suggest considerable longevity. This firmly tannic, intensely concentrated 2001 boasts great aromatic and palate presence, but it remains young and unevolved."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $220-300

27097 L'Apparita - Vintage 1985Castello di Ama1scc (Wines Located in Delaware)"A gorgeous wine, the 1985 L'Apparita is pure silk on the palate. Subtle and graceful, the 1985 impresses for many things, including its balance. Just as important, though, this first vintage of L'Apparita is still beautiful and finessed. Tasted within the context of the vintages that followed, the 1985 comes across as mature and not particularly complex, but it has nevertheless held up well over the last nearly thirty years. That is more than enough in my book for one of Italy's most groundbreaking wines."(90pts VM)3 bottles per lot $1000-1400

27098 Barbaresco - Vintage 1990Bricco Asili Faset, Ceretto2bn, 2ts (Wines Located in Delaware)"The 1990 Bricco Asili-Faset reveals a superb nose of roasted herbs and black-cherries, medium to full body, wonderfully ripe flavors, and a long, expansive, concentrated finish that exhibits no hard edges."(92pts )6 bottles per lot $1100-1500

27128 Château Climens - Vintage 2000Sauternes1x12 half bottle owc (Wines Located in Delaware)"The proprietors are extremely happy with what they were able to produce in 2000. Even though this vintage has a poor reputation, producers who only included the early-picked grapes in their final blends have often turned out nearly exceptional wines. Yields for the 2000 Climens were microscopic (four hectoliters per hectare) and the wine, although somewhat monolithic (I tasted it right after bottling), exhibits honeyed citrus, pineapple, and hints of pears, butter, and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied and elegant, with superb purity (a hallmark of this great estate), it should be at its finest between 2007-2020."(91pts)12 half-bottles per lot $300-400

Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of lemon curd, Mirabelle, and clear honey. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine definition and there seems to be a great deal of energy and vigor dispensed for your pleasure. There is such race and nervosity, and then that finish just purrs with harmony and focus."(98pts)1 double magnum per lot $1000-1400

27140 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1978La Landonne, E. Guigalhbsl, tal, scc, sos, outstanding color (Wines Located in Delaware)"The 1978 Guigal Côte-Rotie La Landonne was the Zen Master's favorite of the LaLas, and I always agree with the master! This was great stuff with powerful acidity. There was black fruit, slate, asphalt and a hot, black, zippy intensity. Even The Comte said he could drink a bottle of this on its own and not need anything else. Sacre bleu! Someone noted how its crisp terroir had more influence than the winemaker,' and The French Paradox called it a monster truck.' This was a complete wine!"(98pts JK)1 bottle per lot $2000-2800

27152 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 1990St. Estephe3lscl (Wines Located in Delaware)"This super-concentrated wine possesses a roasted herb, sweet, jammy black fruit-scented nose, with noteworthy opulence and succulence. Pure and full-bodied, this concentrated wine conceals more tannin than it is presently revealing. The wine is open, flattering, and impossible to resist."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $600-800

27153 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1990Pauillacvlbsl (Wines Located in Delaware)"The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment. While it still possesses some firmness, and performs like a late adolescent in terms of its evolution,

it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine that should hit its peak in 5-8 years, and last for 25-30 more."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $400-600

27154 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1995Pauillac2lbsl (Wines Located in Delaware)"Complex aromas of currants, berries and mint. Full-bodied, very tannic, but velvety and caressing. Getting better all the time."(94pts WS)2 bottles per lot $300-400

27155 Chambertin - Vintage 2004Clos de Bèze, Bouchard, Pere et Filshscl (Wines Located in Delaware)"The aromatic profile here is completely different with more complexity to the gorgeous mix of red and black pinot fruit, earth, spice, underbrush, smoke, game and iron notes that continue onto the broad, expansive and remarkably intense flavors that culminate in an unusually ripe, mouth coating and long finish."(95pts BH)1 Jeroboam per lot $700-900

27157 Chablis - Vintage 2003Les Clos, Raveneaulscl, crc (Wines Located in Delaware)"Musky aromas of gunflint, white pepper, lime, mint and quinine. Densely packed, ripe and supple; deceptively sweet and open today thanks to its fine-grained texture. But this extremely subtle, deep wine is still very young. Mounts inexorably on the back, dusting the palate with crushed stone and bracing citrus flavors."(91-95pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $550-750

27158 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 2005Pauillac11lscl, different importer's (Wines Located in Delaware)"Tasted at the Pontet-Canet vertical in London, the 2005 Château Pontet-Canet has long been one of the stars of the vintage and this might well be the best of over a dozen showings of this wine. However, do not expect ostentation on the nose. This is 2005 and like many wines of this vintage, even with considerable decanting, it remained broody and introspective on the nose, as if it is checking you out and seeing if you are worthy. Once you have been accepted, then it swings the doors open to reveal gorgeous scents of blackberry, briary and cassis fruit, perhaps a little more sous-bois than I have noticed compared to previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied, but dense and structured certainly a more masculine Pontet-Canet built for long-

term ageing. Yet it retains marvelous freshness and vitality all the way through to the pencil-lead, quite saline finish. I suspect that the 2009 Pontet-Canet is more approachable than the 2005, so heeding Robert Parker's sage advice, afford this up to ten years in your cellar and then reap the rewards of patience."(97pts)11 bottles per lot $1400-1800

27160 Bienvenue Batard Montrachet - Vintage 2010Pierre-Yves Colin Morey(Wines Located in Delaware)"The expressive and solidly layered nose proffers a pretty combination of honeysuckle, white peach, pear and subtle spice hints. There is a wonderfully seductive character to the round and mouth coating flavors that possess a suave texture on the powerful, intense and impeccably well-balanced finish."(93-95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $500-700

27161 Chablis - Vintage 2005Butteaux, Raveneau(Wines Located in Delaware)"Easily the best of the these three Montmains climats with an aromatically reserved nose that is clearly less ripe offers nuances of white peach, pear and sea breeze that continue onto the impressively concentrated, intense and powerful flavors that possess excellent dry extract, all wrapped around a firm acid spine and terrific length. This has plenty of nervosit and real harmony of expression."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $220-300

27162 Chablis - Vintage 2009Montee de Tonnerre, Raveneau(Wines Located in Delaware)"Subtle wood sets off aromas of flowers, oyster shell and tidal pool that complement perfectly the racy, pure and strikingly well-detailed medium plus weight flavors that brim with minerality on the delicious, mouth coating and impressively long finish."(93pts BH)2 bottles per lot $550-750

27163 Chassagne Montrachet - Vintage 2010Les Ruchottes, Ramonet(Wines Located in Delaware)"...is superb, and it's beginning to drink very well, opening in the glass with a complex bouquet of lime, green pear, iodine and cornmeal, framed by light reduction and some nicely integrated smoky new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, tensile and vibrant, with lovely textural gloss, superb depth at the core and an almost saline finish."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $480-650

27165 Chevalier Montrachet - Vintage 2014Clos des Chevaliers, J. Chartron(Wines Located in Delaware)"Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting the 2014 Chevalier Montrachet Clos des Chevaliers Grand Cru has a very tensile, mineral-driven bouquet, not powerful but supremely well delineated with a touch of blackcurrant leaf developing with time. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, real tension and structure here, with disarming salinity on the persistent finish that fans out in true grand cru fashion. Bravo Monsieur Chartron, this is a flat-out brilliant Clos des Chevaliers."(97pts)4 bottles per lot $1000-1400

27170 Meursault - Vintage 2014Charmes, Comte Lafon(Wines Located in Delaware)"It demonstrated a subtle reduction on the nose with scents of dried quince complementing the citrus fruit, walnut and smoke aromas. The palate is well balanced with fine delineation, harmonious with notes of tangerine and orange zest, the oak nicely integrated with appreciable weight on the finish. Very fine, very sophisticated..."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $700-900

27171 Meursault - Vintage 2014Les Tessons, P. Morey(Wines Located in Delaware)"The wood treatment is a bit more prominent though not so much as to fight with the moderately exotic aromas of pear, white peach, lychee nut and acacia blossom. The palate impression isn't subtle either as there is outstanding concentration and power along with plenty of dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the notably firm acid spine shaping the saline and dry-in-the-best sense finale. This is a big Meursault villages that is definitely going to require at least a few years of cellar time. Worth checking out."(89-91pts BH)4 bottles per lot $240-320

27172 Château Coutet - Vintage 2007Sauternes(Wines Located in Delaware)"Tasted single blind against its peers. The Château Coutet 2007 has a very intense bouquet with lemon curd and orange blossom mixed with clear honey. There is impressive precision here, almost crystalline. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine viscous entry, great weight and intensity with racy acidity. There is also much tension cutting through the layers of viscous fruit on the sorbet-like finish. This is a typical Coutet through and through and it should age effortlessly over 20-30 years. Tasted January 2011."(94pts)6 half-bottles per lot $150-200

27173 Château Suduiraut - Vintage 2007Sauternes(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2007 Suduiraut is a Sauternes that is just beginning to "motor" as it approaches its tenth birthday. The bouquet is much more open than when I last tasted this wine in 2011, with upfront honey, lemon rind and apricot blossom aromas that pack a punch. The palate is powerful and intense, layers of honeyed fruit, crisp acidity and the Sauvignon Blanc component now giving way more to Sémillon. This is a Sauternes of width and girth and as such it deserves another decade in bottle. Just superb. Tasted July 2016."(94pts)6 half-bottles per lot $140-180

27174 Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese - Vintage 2007Kiedricher Grafenberg, R. Weil(Wines Located in Delaware)"Exuberant aromas of caramelized peach, quince preserves and oyster shell on a bed of honeyed botrytis. Incredible density, creaminess and richness paired with a juicy, almost salty tanginess. Boasts a succulent caramel flavor and a honeyed texture yet still comes across as impressively elegant. With its palate-saturating length, this is one of the great wines of the vintage."(96pts VM)5 half-bottles per lot $1200-1600

(Wines Located in Hong Kong)"The 2017 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a sensual and pure bouquet with red cherries, redcurrant jus, crushed stone and pressed rose petals that gradually unfurls in the glass and ends up being more expressive than the Latricières-Chambertin.

27183 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2018Clos des Porrets, H. Gouges1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges 1er Cru was due to be racked the following week and bottled before the end of the year. It has a generous bouquet of upfront red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, a little too ripe for my liking and when compared to previous vintages. The medium-bodied palate offers soft tannins, gentle grip and plenty of fleshy red fruit, although it is missing some grip and density toward the finish. Pleasant, but I would broach this in its youth."(88-90pts VM)12 bottles per lot $650-850

27246 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2015Tenuta Nuova, Casanova di Neri(Wines Located in Hong Kong)"Giacomo Neri and his family have crafted a wine that impresses from the first sip forward (especially when the

wine is given ample time to open). The Casanova di Neri 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova must be treated with patience, and that patience is returned with many great rewards. Blackberry, plum and summer cherry are slowly folded into lasting flavors of spice, leather and beautiful balsam or medical herb. These are always a distinctive signature of this estate. The aromas flow with seamless transitions, and that fluid and ever-changing nature of the bouquet is what helps to build intensity and staying power. Fruit is harvested from a south- and southeast-facing slope at 250 to 300 meters above sea level. The soils are mixed loosely with crushed rock, allowing access to air and moisture. Indeed, pretty mineral accents appear as the wine takes on more air in the glass. What stands out most in this Brunello is the quality of the bouquet that is rigid and firm, yet not excessively so. You feel the structural texture of the wine as it sits firmly over the palate, yet there is mobility and softness to its many moving parts. I tasted this wine at various intervals over a 24-hour period. Tenuta Nuova was bottled in June 2018, and some 70,032 bottles were released."(98+pts)3 bottles per lot $260-350

Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with rich, plushly textured fruit and then POW it hits the mid-palate with an explosion of Chinese five spice and floral perfume sparks, leading to an epically long finish.

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.

27336 Château Brane Cantenac - Vintage 2000Margaux(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2000 Brane-Cantenac is a blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 55% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It has a really wonderful bouquet that is coming into its own: potent with black truffle and gravel infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline tang on the entry. It is not a powerful or huge wine, but there is impressive length here and genuine complexity on the finish, with black truffle, cedar and tobacco notes vying for attention. Henri Lurton oversaw a really quite fabulous, almost aristocratic Brane-Cantenac in this millennial year. Tasted April 2015."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $160-220

27351 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2008La Combe des Fous, Clos St. Jean(Wines Located in Delaware)"One of the vintage's top wines, the 2008 Châteauneuf du Pape la Combe des Fous continues to drink splendidly. Brandied cherries and dried herbs mark the nose, while the full-bodied palate is velvety and open-knit, with shadings of cocoa and a bit of savory, meaty development. It does dry out a bit as it sits in the glass, but it should continue to drink well through 2020 at least."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $75-100

27352 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2010Chaupin, Domaine de la Janasse(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape Chaupin rivals the 2007 Chaupin (to date the best Chaupin I have yet tasted). 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. It is an amazing example of impeccably grown old vine Grenache translated into a natural yet full-throttle red."(98pts)


27353 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2001Vieilles Vignes, Domaine de la Janasse(Wines Located in Delaware)"...is one of the monumental Châteauneuf-du-Papes of the vintage.

27355 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2004Vieilles Vignes, Domaine de Marcouxsos (Wines Located in Delaware)"I still consider the 2004 Châteauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes from the Armenier Sisters one of the wines of the vintage, and it's rare to find another wine with this much texture and richness. As normal, it's slightly darker in color than the traditional cuvée and offers beautiful sweetness in its red and black fruits, garrigue, olive tapenade and spice aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, still fresh, concentrated and elegant, it's drinking at point but will keep nicely through 2024."(95pts)1 magnum per lot $160-220

Notes of tobacco, tar, lead pencil, roasted herbs, and copious black cherries and cassis slowly emerge as the wine sits in the glass. It is full-bodied and elegant, with flavors of black cherries, cassis, and roasted minerals. Pure, rich, and structured, but notably tannic in the finish, this wine should be at its finest between 2003-2018. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel.

Conterno(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2007 Barbera d'Alba Cascina Francia flows onto the palate with waves of dark red fruit, sweet roses, licorice, flowers, menthol and tar, showing a remarkable combination of ripeness, clarity and detail. Medium in body, the wine offers tons of length and a refined, polished finish. Stylistically, the 2007 recalls the finesse and perfume of the 2004, with perhaps a touch more intensity and depth. Simply, put, this is as majestic a Barbera as readers are likely to find. Hard as it may seem to believe, this wine continues to get better with each passing vintage.

In 2005, Mascarello did not bottle his flagship Barolo Riserva Ca' d'Morissio, opting instead to focus solely on the flagship Barolo Monprivato.

This is David Ramey's homage to Pauillac. With a big sweet nose of white chocolate, creme de cassis, cedar, spice box, and high-quality smoky oak, it is full-bodied, rich, and tannic with notes of chocolate and espresso in the mouth.

27403 Sine Qua Non Grenache - Vintage 2008The Line(Wines Located in Delaware)"2008 The Line: This wine was just released in April of this year, and is a blend of 87.5% Grenache, 11% Syrah, and 1.5% Viognier, with 21% whole clusters used in the Grenache component. Seventy-eight percent of it came from the 11 Confessions Vineyard and the balance from Bien Nacido and the White Hawk. It is no measly wine at 15.5% alcohol, but it displays extraordinary berry fruit and kirsch notes intermixed with lavender and other floral components. Intense, full-bodied, voluptuously textured, and stunningly pure, with no real noticeable oak (21% new French oak was used, most of it the larger demi-muids), this beauty has put on weight and is showing additional complexity since I first tasted it. Anticipated maturity: now-2023."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $650-850

27404 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2008B 20(Wines Located in Delaware)"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)2 bottles per lot $450-600

27405 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2000In Flagrante(Wines Located in Delaware)"A black color is followed by a seamless effort loaded with blackberry, honey, and flower aromas, and an extraordinarily long, concentrated finish.

27410 Cayuse Syrah - Vintage 2007Armada Vineyard(Wines Located in Delaware)"...the 2007 Syrah Armada Vineyard is a noticeably bigger, richer, more full-bodied wine that exhibits thrilling white pepper, underbrush, cedary spice and sweet dark fruits on both the nose and palate. Big, full-bodied, decadent and massive, yet still balanced and even elegant, it has surprising tannic grip through the finish and certainly doesn't lack for length."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

27411 Cayuse Syrah - Vintage 2006Cailloux Vineyard(Wines Located in Delaware)"It displays a Côte-Rotie-like nose of smoked meat, game, and bacon with a dollop of burnt sugar and blueberry making an appearance.

27412 Cayuse Syrah - Vintage 2007Cailloux Vineyard(Wines Located in Delaware)"Baron's 2007 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is unusual for its combination of Côte Rôtie-like bacon, smoky black tea, and floral aromatic overtones with rich chocolate and licorice, all of these mingling with sappy confitured dark berries. This is amazingly supple and silken-textured, not because the tannins were baked-out of the fruit on the vine, but instead simply because they're so fine. After setting you up for a continuation of its incredible richness all the way to a long finish, it introduces tar, black pepper, and an almost horseradish- and mustard green-like bite for an effect of spine- not just tongue-tingling invigoration. At the same time, the mouthwateringly carnal aspects of this multifarious performance are never far below the surface."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

An opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil, graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is medium-bodied, with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony.

27473 Tignanello - Vintage 2001Antinori1ll,1lbsl,1ltl (Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2001 Tignanello is an object lesson in how to make Cabernet work with Sangiovese, the two varieties balancing and enhancing one another in admirable symbiosis. (The percentage of Cabernet, in fact, was reduced from the previous 20% to 15% in this vintage, an important sign - I hope - of how the wind is blowing.) A blackish ruby, its perfectly focused plum and cassis fruit, given an additional complexity by notes of sweet herbs and saddle leather, is fully and completely shaped in flavors of impeccable volume, roundness, and depth, caressing and powerful and with an additional power on the close which promises another 15 years of gratifying drinking."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $350-500

27487 Vega Sicilia Unico - Vintage NVReserva Especialreleased in 2002 (Wines Located in Delaware)"It has the classical developed Vega Sicilia bouquet, but the newer vintages used this time and the extra bottle time they have given to the 2005 Unico (which is released at the same time as this), makes them show similar profiles. What I'm trying to say is that this is certainly younger than the majority of Reserva Especial to date, and the forest floor, spicy and musky aromas are combined with more primary notes of fruit."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

The spectacular, opaque purple-colored 2001 offers an explosive nose of melted licorice, barbecue smoke, blackberries, creme de cassis, camphor, and graphite.

27521 Blankiet Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Paradise Hills Vineyard(Wines Located in Delaware)"This is a great effort from Blankiet that has turned out beautifully, with a silky personality, voluptuous texture, beautiful nose of roasted herbs, burning embers, smoked meat, spring flowers, and plenty of blackberry and cassis. Almost La Mission Haut-Brion-ish in its character thanks to the minerality and smokiness, the wine is full-bodied, rich, concentrated, and has shed its once-considerable tannins, which are relatively rapid-paced. That said, as drinkable and complex as it is already, this wine still has another 20 years left in it."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $200-280


27523 Blankiet Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2002Paradise Hills Vineyard1bn (Wines Located in Delaware)"This beautiful hillside vineyard is situated behind the Dominus Estate in Yountville. The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) has turned out even better than I predicted seven years ago. Made by Helen Turley when she was the consultant at Blankiet from tightly spaced, steep hillside vineyards planted by her husband, John Wetlaufer, it exhibits a beautiful nose of flowers, high quality unsmoked cigar tobacco, creme de cassis, chocolate, espresso and blueberries. Extraordinarily young, fresh and fabulously concentrated, this wine still impresses with its intensity, complexity and youthfulness. It will probably not peak in quality for a decade, and has 20-30 years of further aging potential."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $130-170

27524 Blankiet Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2003Paradise Hills Vineyard(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Estate (14.5% natural alcohol) enjoyed the same upbringing as the Merlot. Its dark opaque plum/purple color is followed by more restrained aromatics of creme de cassis, vanillin and sweet barbecue/charcoal notes. Full-bodied and rich with more structured, tannic flavors, a sweet mid-palate, a beautiful core of ripe fruit, terrific purity and density, and the great character one expects from this site, it will benefit from another 3-4 years of cellaring, and should keep for two decades, fulfilling proprietor Claude Blankiet's ambition to make a world-class wine."(96+pts)1 bottle per lot $70-90

Sweet and concentrated but tightly wound, with lovely harmonious acidity giving the rather imploded roast plum and hot rock flavors a juicy quality. Finishes with very suave tannins."(91pts VM)1 bottle per lot $150-200

27527 Bond - Vintage 2001Melbury(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Melbury (a dead ringer for Pauillac) has an opaque blue/purple color and an

extraordinarily sweet nose of charcoal, lead pencil shavings, cedar wood, black currants, licorice and spice box. Full-bodied, with great intensity, purity and texture, this is a wonderfully dense, full-throttle wine that is still an adolescent and likely to stay one for at least another 5-7 years.

27528 Bond - Vintage 2003Melbury(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2003 Melbury comes from a slopeside site on the northern side of Lake Hennessey, opposite the Rutherford valley floor. Winemaker Bob Levy compares the 2003 to the 2006 because of the wet winter and spring and the summer's heat spikes. A brilliant effort from sedimentary soil with rocks over compacted clay, it is a gorgeous wine offering raspberry, black currant, spring flower and blueberry characteristics along with a dense purple color, a full-bodied, multilayered mouthfeel and sweet tannin. This stunningly rich hillside Cabernet Sauvignon should reach full maturity in 4-5 years and keep for 15-20 years thereafter."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

27529 Bond - Vintage 2003Pluribus(Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2003 Pluribus (the debut vintage of this cuvée) performed spectacularly. Created from some of the estate's youngest vines planted in decomposed white tufa volcanic soils at an elevation of 1,100 to 1,300 feet on Spring Mountain, it offers a stunning blue/purple color, copious quantities of blueberries, black raspberries and violet-infused fruit intermixed with hints of foresty flora.

"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 $240-320

The Maiden is their selection of lots and barrels that are deemed slightly less complex and impressive. That sounds critical, but this is a beautiful wine. Always more evolved, precocious and very sexy, the 2005 The Maiden is superb. Dense ruby/purple, with notes of underbrush, graphite, earth, loamy soil and oodles of blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, it offers supple tannins, beautifully integrated acidity and wood.

Full-bodied, marvelously concentrated, and extremely well-balanced, this wine's acidity, tannin, and high alcohol are completely buried beneath the complex fruit and extract of this profound offering. I remember shaking my head in disbelief at the quality of these wines."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200


27655 Pahlmeyer Red - Vintage 1999(Wines Located in Delaware)"A different edge to it, bordering on mint and eucalyptus but not quite hot minerals, chocolate and some cousin of cedar in there firm alcohol very tar-like impression biggest finish of the first four with big tannins, but a little coy on the upfront fruit, although still more flash than the Colgin more on the dark side on the palate - dark chocolate, mineral, slate a bit of a bruiser."(94+pts JK)1 bottle per lot $80-110

27658 Pahlmeyer Red - Vintage 2001

1bn,1lbsl,2ssos (Wines Located in Delaware)"More primary and backward, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon needs 4-6 more years of cellaring, but is capable of lasting three decades or more. Composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and a dollop of Malbec, it exhibits a dense, thick, black/purple color as well as emerging aromas of cedar, black currants, ink, graphite, charcoal and forest floor. This full-bodied, packed and stacked Cabernet offers a sexy, open-knit opulence on the attack followed by noticeable tannins. However, the latter component is clearly balanced by the wine's stunning concentration, texture and overall depth. As stated above, forget this beauty for another 4-6 years and drink it over the following 25-30+."(93pts)4 bottles per lot $400-600

27659 Pahlmeyer Red - Vintage 20021ssos (Wines Located in Delaware)"The nearly perfect 2002 Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and the rest dollops of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. This exotic, full-throttle, nearly over-the-top red wine's intensity, richness and smoky coffee notes intermixed with notions of chocolate, graphite, and jammy blackberry and black currant fruit ooze from the glass. This rich, concentrated beauty tastes more like a top-notch, young Right Bank Bordeaux from a vintage such as 2009 than a wine dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon. With stunning purity and awesome potential, it can be drunk now or cellared for another two decades."(99pts)3 bottles per lot $300-400

27667 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994bn,lbsl (Wines Located in Delaware)"As is the practice at this winery, they hold back 50 or so cases of their finest vintages for release after a decade. The current release of their library selection is the 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon, a magnificent effort that, for me, is one of Togni's six or seven finest wines. Its deep plum/purple color reveals only a touch of lightening at the edge. A glorious perfume offers up aromas of plums, figs, creme de cassis, smoke, hickory spice, and high quality cigar tobacco. In a blind tasting, this California Cabernet could easily be mistaken for a great Pauillac given its structure, density, richness, and perfume. This 1994 is just beginning to move into its adolescence. Even though it has 20-25 years of life remaining, it is approachable. It is a monumental Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the valley's legacy producers."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

27668 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1995vlbsl (Wines Located in Delaware)"Philip Togni is one of California's most foresighted winemakers, holding back a small amount of wine and releasing it at age ten. This year, small quantities of the 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate were released, and, as I almost invariably do, I rated it higher than I did initially. It is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon that apparently turns to Bordeaux for elegance, structure, and complexity, yet retains Napa's extraordinarily sweet, rich, concentrated fruit. This profound 1995 still tastes like an adolescent. For my palate, it will benefit

from another 4-5 years of bottle age, and should last easily for another 20-25 years. It is unquestionably one of California's as well as the world's greatest Cabernet Sauvignons."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

27670 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 20012vlbsl (Wines Located in Delaware)"The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is deep garnet-purple colored with a gorgeous, meat and yeast extract-laced nose with notions of ceps and truffles over a core of Crème de cassis, blackberry compote and star anise plus hints of camphor and potpourri. Medium-bodied, fine, fresh and delicately played with loads of spice and savory layers, it finishes on a compelling perfumed note."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $220-300

Full-bodied with an expansive, broad, creamy texture as well as a voluptuous finish, the wine has shed a lot of its tannin and is just beginning to hit its plateau of full maturity where it should stay for another 15-25+ years.

The most evolved of these three wines, it exhibits complex notes of spring flowers, underbrush, truffles, forest floor, camphor and red as well as black fruits. It possesses an opulent, full-bodied mouthfeel, fabulous purity and density and a long finish. The finish for all three of these wines lasts for close to a minute. Each represents extraordinary craftsmanship and, essentially, vinous confirmation of the vision of the late Jess Jackson. Those who think too many California wines are over the top may be surprised to know that the 2001 La Muse has a pH of 3.63 and a "real" natural alcohol of 14.1%.

The last three vintages have all been extraordinary, with perhaps the 2001 Syrah Hudson Vineyard my overall favorite. However, the 2002 is close in quality. The wine possesses striking blackberry, ground pepper, fried bacon fat, barbecue spice, and underbrush/composty characteristics that are also meaty and primordial. The volcanic soils may give this wine a more smoky, scorched, meaty character than other Northern California Syrahs."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

Although not the biggest or most concentrated Syrah Krankl has made, it is one of the most nuanced, elegant, and complex. It remains full-bodied, but builds incrementally on the palate, and comes across as elegant and delicate, especially when compared to many California Syrahs. Nevertheless, the intensity is mind-boggling, and the finish lasts for nearly a minute."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $320-450

Its gorgeously sweet, pure nose of crushed rocks, blueberries, cassis, and minerals soars from the glass. Floral-like black and blue fruits, an inky/purple color, and nearly endless depth and persistence on the palate are the stuff of legends.

Backward and nearly impenetrable, its inky/ruby/purple color is accompanied by high levels of tannin, huge structure, and massive concentration. It requires 3-6 more years to become civilized and accessible. This dense Shiraz saturates the palate with extract and concentration as well as elevated tannin. It is amazing one winery could produce two wines that are so totally opposite. Only consumers with cool cellars and the patience to wait 5-6 years should purchase this blockbuster. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022+. This wine is finished with a screw cap."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $30-40

It delivers an alluring bouquet of pain grille, smoke, mocha, espresso, and blue fruits. This is followed by a full-bodied, personality-filled Shiraz with blueberry, blackberry liqueur, licorice, and a hint of chocolate emerging on the palate.

A sweet nose of black fruits, flowers, melted licorice, and espresso roast precedes a wine of amazing concentration, compelling intensity, and a tremendous finish of more than 60 seconds.

I have had a lot of fun serving the 2002 blind to guests, and for my taste, this cuvée is the reference point for old vine Grenache produced in Australia. It is extraordinarily elegant for a wine of such power, richness, and intensity. Amazingly delineated, with a dense ruby/purple color as well as a gorgeously sweet nose of

smoke, spice box, black cherry liqueur, creme de cassis, licorice, and lavender, it offers impressive balance, purity, opulence, and persistence.

Inky/blue/black to the rim, with an extraordinary nose of smoked meats, camphor, blackberries, creme de cassis, and a notion of bacon fat in the background, this is

great stuff. Full-bodied with a sensational texture as well as stunning purity, balance, and length (the finish lasts nearly a minute), Michael Twelftree believes it has at least 20 years of cellaring potential, and I see no reason to disagree.

27888 Pommard - Vintage 2011Les Rugiens, Courcel(Wines Located in Delaware)"There is really lovely complexity to the cool, restrained

and elegant aromas of ripe red and blue pinot fruit and wet stone nuances that enjoy added refinement from the presence of dried floral elements though the stems are presently visible. There is a suave, round and sophisticated mouth feel to the intensely mineral-driven flavors that are shaped by firm and dense yet fine-grained tannins, all wrapped in a mocha-inflected finish."(92pts BH)1 bottle per lot $60-80

27889 Clos Vougeot - Vintage 2005Domaine de la Vougeraieltl, lscl, ssos (Wines Located in Delaware)"Moderate wood spice and a pretty if serious mix of red berry, black pinot and plenty of earth influence can be found on the round, rich and very suave full-bodied flavors that possess ample volume and excellent underlying material though the finish is perhaps not quite as precise and delineated as the very best in the range. Still, this offers plenty of character and superb length plus it's less youthfully austere than most examples at this very early stage."(92pts BH)1 bottle per lot $140-180

sdc (Wines Located in Delaware)"A perfume of smoke, camphor, Crème de cassis, cedar, and fruitcake is accompanied by a gentle giant of a wine. Powerful and impeccably balanced, with outstanding concentration, well-integrated wood, acidity, and tannin, and a long, nearly 60-second finish, this saturated ruby/purple-hued effort is a prodigious example of Cabernet Sauvignon."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $75-100

27903 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2012Valdicava

(Wines Located in Hong Kong)"The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a dark and inky appearance with bright ruby highlights that break through the background darkness with brilliance. The nose is generous and robust with dark cherry fruit, plum, Indian spice, mocha and espresso bean. These elements are stitched together with seamless transitions. Despite that grand approach, Sangiovese's prickly and often nervous personality shines through nonetheless. The variety adds delicate berry nuances and bright acidity that give this wine profound depth."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80
