The wine turns darker and positively explosive with time in the glass while retaining much of its understated personality. A final blast of dark red fruit frames the finish. The 2009 Palazzi is 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc that spent 7 months in neutral French oak."(94+pts)12 bottles per lot $1200-1600

2763 Kapcsandy Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2008

State Lane Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Another perfect wine (identical to the 2007) is the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard. Composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot (430 cases produced), this is an exquisite wine of great precision and profound concentration and complexity. It possesses an inky/purple color in addition to an ethereal nose of cassis, chocolate, burning embers, espresso and forest floor. Sweet tannins, a multidimensional mouthfeel, full-bodied power and good structure as well as freshness make for a prodigious example of wine that will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring, but will keep for 25-30 years."(100pts)6 half-bottles per lot $900-1200

The 40-year-old, bio-dynamically farmed vineyard is planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The 2003 possesses superb ripeness as well as a stony, mineral liqueur-like intensity, a reticent but promising perfume of black raspberries, sweet kirsch, and blacker fruits, a full-bodied, powerful, concentrated attack and mid-palate, and a blockbuster, long, powerful, moderately tannic finish.

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

7045 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1998Graves(Wines Located in New York)"As reported over the last two years, this is a prodigious Haut-Brion. It exhibits a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a tight, but incredibly promising nose of smoke, earth, minerals, lead pencil, black currants, cherries, and spice. This full-bodied wine unfolds slowly, but convincingly on the palate, revealing a rich, multi-tiered, stunningly pure, symmetrical style with wonderful sweetness, ripe tannin, and a finish that lasts

7046 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1985Graves(Wines Located in New York)"In a recent blind tasting it came out first among all the 1985 first-growths. It was the densest, richest, and most backward of the eight first-growths, yet it was thrown in as the ringer. The color is an impressive opaque dark ruby/purple, and the nose is just beginning to reveal the classic Graves aromas of melted road tar, tobacco leaves, and stones.

Dan found it 'panacea and superb,' possessing 'every conceivable meaty flavor.' The nose was very spiny and intense, but the palate was smooth and satiny, less intense but still possessing some dusty vigor.

weightlessness on the back end. The very long finish is dominated by tangy raspberry."(92+pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $120-160

7059 Volnay - Vintage 1993Clos du Château des Ducs, M. Lafarge(Wines Located in New York)"Pure red and black fruit aromas that remain almost completely primary in character are followed by dark, deep, very tight, medium weight flavors that display good density and still firm tannins on the long finish. This is quite structured and while not tough, it is solidly built in an almost robust style. The '93 Clos du Château des Ducs will require several more years to round out and I wouldn't touch a bottle until 2008 unless you're just curious."(90pts BH)1 bottle per lot $180-240

7060 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2000Bonneau du Martray(Wines Located in New York)"Shame on me! I vastly under-rated this estate's 2000 Corton-Charlemagne in my barrel assessment a year ago (originally scored 88-90). The finest wine I've ever tasted from this famed domaine, it reveals a rich nose of ripe pears, buttered hazelnuts, and minerals. Medium-bodied, lush, intense, and satin-textured, it has exceptional balance, refinement, and a stupendously long finish. While it is not the most powerful Corton-Charlemagne, it has superb focus, detail, and seamlessness. Toast, spices, pears, and ripe apples can be found throughout its complex character. If this wine continues to improve in the bottle as it did in the final months of elevage, it will be completely mind-boggling."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

7061 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2005Bonneau du Martray(Wines Located in New York)"Ripe yet distinctly discreet and reserved green fruit and floral aromas that are airy, pure and lightly spicy merge into intense, precise and penetrating medium full flavors blessed with terrific acid/fruit balance and huge length. This is really a lovely wine that is presently a tightly coiled spring and in need of extended bottle aging to really put on display the superb potential here. A stunner and one of the best examples of this appellation in 2005."(93-95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $110-150

7064 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 2006Les Pucelles, Domaine Leflaive(Wines Located in New York)"A pure, elegant and refined nose of honeysuckle and spiced pear plus subtle lemon peel notes that can also be found on the rich, full, ripe and generous flavors that possess a silky mouth feel due to the impressive amount of dry extract present, all wrapped in a long, sappy and utterly classy finish. This is really lovely and trades less minerality for more refinement. A choice."(90-2pts BH)1 bottle per lot $150-200

7065 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1995La Mouline, E. Guigalbsl (Wines Located in New York)"...is a compelling wine. The intensity of its smoky, cassis, bacon fat, and honeysuckle-scented nose, and fabulously rich, sweet, opulent flavors are something to behold. Underlying everything is structure from the wood tannin and sound acidity. This wine is so gorgeous and hedonistic that I often wonder why it has not been declared illegal by anti-pleasure bureaucrats."(96-98pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

Only 40% of the crop made it into the final blend, which consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. The wine offers a black/purple color, a profound nose of minerals, cassis, licorice, and spices, spectacular richness, and a great mid-palate that boasts layers of fruit. Admirable purity, fine underlying acidity, and considerable sweet, ripe tannin make this another compelling effort."(94-97pts)1 bottle per lot $140-180

7178 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2003Hillside Select(Wines Located in New York)"One of the great so-called "first growths" of Napa is Shafer's 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon from their Stags Leap vineyard known as Hillside Select. This has been one of the top dozen or so wines in every vintage for over 15 years. A big wine at 14.9% alcohol, it is aged an atypically long time of 32 months in 100% new French oak, but at ten years of age, no oak is present. It is an utterly perfect wine, surpassing almost everything else made in 2003! It possesses everything one could desire in a Cabernet Sauvignon minerality, flowers, creme de cassis, blackberries, velvety tannins, a skyscraper texture, perfect balance and integration between the acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood, all well-concealed by the luxurious nature of this great wine. The finish is endless in this prodigious offering from a great family of grape growers and winemakers. It proves the point that good guys can finish first."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

This exceptional effort is a model example of what can be done with white varietals in California s Central Coast. An exceptional bouquet of lemon blossom, nectarine, orange marmalade-infused honey, quince, and citrus are stunningly aromatic and provide profound richness, yet the freshness, precision, and overall lift are remarkable for a wine of this power and intensity.

The gorgeously pure wine possesses fabulous intensity, layer upon layer of concentration, high tannin, and a silky character that suggest full physiological grape maturity was obtained. The finish lasts for over a minute. As the wine sat in the glass, aromas of licorice, leather, and smoky black fruits (primarily blackberry and cassis) emerged."(98pts)1 magnum per lot $300-400

7265 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2003Clos des Papes, P. Avril5sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The wine has a dense ruby/purple-tinged color and a wonderfully sweet nose of framboise, blackberry, and kirsch liqueur intermixed with Chinese black tea and licorice. The wine is full-bodied and voluptuous, but once past all the glycerin and beautiful, dense fruit of this full-bodied wine, there is striking purity, elegance, finesse, and surprising freshness. Still primary, it looks set to have a long life of 20-25 or more years."(97pts)6 half-bottles per lot $200-300

7266 Hermitage - Vintage 1988La Chapelle, P. Jaboulet1sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The soaring bouquet suggested the wine was more mature in flavor than it turned out to be.

7268 Solaia - Vintage 1985Antinorilwasl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1985 Solaia continues to evolve at a quicker pace than the 1985 Sassicaia. A huge nose of olives, toast, cedar, and cassis offers considerable enjoyment. In the mouth, this dark ruby/purple-colored, opulent wine exhibits a rich, medium to full-bodied, chewy texture, decent acidity, and well-integrated flavors of smoky new oak.

7271 Solengo - Vintage 1997Argianonl (Wines Located in New York)"The profound 1997 Solengo vino da tavola (a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon with a tiny dosage of Syrah) is spectacular. Opaque purple-colored, it displays a fabulously sweet nose of creme de cassis, new saddle leather, toasty new oak, licorice, and flowers. This wine boasts amazing richness, a huge, full-bodied impact on the palate (yet no sense of heaviness), low acidity, gorgeous ripeness, and a finish that lasts for 35+ seconds.

7292 Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1984Monte Bello4bsl, 4lgsl (Wines Located in New York)"While this wine is not as reserved and tight as most 8-year old Ridge Cabernets, it still needs another 5-10 years of cellaring. It should prove to be a 30-year wine. The color is dark ruby with no signs of age. With airing the reticent nose reveals attractive floral, mineral, and blackcurrant aromas. This full-bodied, powerful, structured wine has high tannins and ample evidence of rich, gamey fruit."(95pts)4 bottles per lot $600-800

7293 Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1985Monte Belloltl (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)1 bottle per lot $150-200

7294 Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999Monte Bello(Wines Located in New York)"Huge nose - big t 'n a...exotic spice a jasmine/tea thing...boysenberry and blackberry liqueur on the palate with a chocolate/espresso bean thing...a raw wine that is a bit unintegrated on the palate, but this was a special sample provided to us from Ridge, so it might have been a little premature to taste - hence the question mark on my score."(93+?pts JK)4 half-bottles per lot $180-240

7295 Robert Foley Claret - Vintage 2002(Wines Located in New York)"A classic example of a Bordeaux blend, the 2002 Claret possesses an inky/blue/purple color as well as a fabulous perfume of graphite, Crème de cassis, smoke, and licorice.

_____________________________

7311 Château L'Evangile - Vintage 1990Pomerolbsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1990 L Evangile was classic, very expressive with lots of tannins and alcohol in the nose. It also had luscious fruit, a plum, cassis and black olive trifecta. There were secondary brick, wheat and nut aromas. Its fruit was meltingly sweet, and red mixed in with purple and a splash of black. It was quite explosive on the finish with its tannins and acidity, yet it was still balanced with a wealth of a fruit rainbow. Green olive flavors graced its finish. It was just flat-out delicious wine, still sturdy, long and fine. Some food toned down the (positive) aggressive nature of its t n a qualities, but its acidity stayed long and scintillating."(96pts JK)1 magnum per lot $500-650

7316 Barolo - Vintage 1990Pajana, Clerico2lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"In 1990 Clerico produced a special cuvée of Barolo called Pajana, from a tiny parcel of vines within the Ginestra vineyard. The wine was aged for 18 months in 100% new oak casks. The only evidence of the new oak is some spicy vanillin and smoke in the nose, which should give readers a good idea of this wine's splendid concentration of black and red fruits. Exceptionally long and sweet (because of the great ripeness and tiny yields), the wine's finish lasts for more than a minute. An intoxicating perfume of black fruits, spices, and smoke, with a touch of hickory and licorice makes this a totally profound wine."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

I had said that it would evolved slowly but just how slowly was also hidden from me. The nose is still completely primary and the big, rich and meaty flavors are supported by a pronounced tannic spine and excellent finishing power on the hugely long backend. There is a nice core of pinot sap to balance the tannins and this should continue to evolve slowly over the next 10 years and last a good deal longer.

I was wrong, it deserved the place of honor. Monstrous amounts of spices imbued with blackberries are found in its powerful aromatics. It is full-bodied, revealing a massive breadth, a liqueur of syrupy cassis and blackberries that linger seemingly forever in the mouth. Its broad shoulders, perfect ripeness, and fabulous density of fruit must be experienced to be believed.

Fashioned from a minuscule 21 hectoliters per hectare, and tipping the scales at 15.2% natural alcohol, the 2006 boasts a dense ruby/purple color to the rim, in addition to an extraordinary bouquet of melted licorice, spring flowers, raspberries, black currants, spice box, and earth.

Fiasco is a vineyard that typically presents firm tannins, but in 2007 the warmth of the year has given the wine an extra dimension of plumpness to the fruit that is quite welcome. This shows superb purity on the mid-palate, where hints of smoke, tar, licorice and a host of other aromas and flavors add complexity to the seamless fruit.

The Charmes did have a fantastic nose, very aromatic with its butter, spice, minerals and smoke. It was so '04, so complex, so delicious and so easy to drink. There was a seamlessness of flavors,' a form of polish' and a purity here that was bordering on divine. "(95pts JK)2 bottles per lot $400-500

While this wine does not smell or taste like either of the latter wines, it is every bit as unctuous and as concentrated as those two blockbuster wines from Bordeaux. The game-like, smoky, super-ripe nose reveals no signs of cracking up or losing its amazing intensity. In the mouth, this is a heavy, 10 W 40 weight wine that needs to be drunk with robust food during the frigid winter months. Hugely concentrated and massive, with layers of fruit and personality, this has always been one of the greatest Châteauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $350-500

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

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 $150-200

7973 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 1998St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"The 1998 is impressive. It exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, and a sweet nose of blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with licorice, earth, and wood.

7977 Château Margaux - Vintage 1986Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"...continues to be the most powerful, tannic, and muscular Margaux made in decades. One wonders if the 1928 or 1945 had as much power and depth as the 1986? The black/ruby/purple color reveals no sign of age. The reluctant nose offers up aromas of smoky, toasty new oak and blackcurrants, as well as a few flowers.

An enormously concentrated, massive Mouton-Rothschild, comparable in quality, but not style, to the 1982, 1959, and 1945, this impeccably made wine is still in its infancy I suspect the 1986 Mouton-Rothschild requires a minimum of 15-20 more years of cellaring; it has the potential to last for 50-100 years!..."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $550-800

richness and extract, yet with pinpoint delineation and vibrancy as well as a 60+ second finish, this is the kind of phenomenal wine that Perse's critics were afraid he might produce - a no-compromise, immortal wonder that represents the essence of one of Bordeaux's greatest terroirs.

7981 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1986Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"The wine shows notes of cedar, black currants, earth, spice box, and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, very concentrated, intense palate with a still noticeable tannic structure, a relatively big, muscular style for Pichon-Lalande."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $350-500

7982 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1994Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"...consists of 35% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Petit-Verdot. On the three occasions I tasted the 1994 it was consistently glorious, exhibiting a saturated purple color, and a stunningly pure, rich nose of black raspberries and cassis intermingled with scents of smoke, licorice, and minerals. Medium to full-bodied, with a wonderful sweet mid-palate, this powerful, authoritatively-flavored, elegant, complex wine possesses sweet tannin, gorgeous delineation to its component parts, and a finish that lasts nearly 45 seconds."(91pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

7983 Château Smith Haut Lafitte - Vintage 2005Graves1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The inky/blue/purple-tinged 2005's extraordinary nose reeks of charcoal, incense, scorched earth, abundant blackberry, blueberry, and cherry fruit, toast, and spice. Good acidity, huge but sweet tannin, and fabulous precision as well as definition characterize this full-bodied, super-concentrated effort. It should prove to be among the longest-lived wines yet made by the Cathiards."(95pts)12 bottles per lot $900-1200

7987 Château Rieussec - Vintage 1989Sauternesbsl, wasl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"... is a fat, rich, broad-shouldered wine, with great depth and richness, and a formidably high alcohol content.

7988 Solaia - Vintage 1997Antinorits, wrl (Wines Located in New York)"Dark ruby in color, with extremely ripe raisin and spice aromas.

8246 Corton - Vintage 1997Pougets, L. Jadot(Wines Located in New York)"From a vintage where the overwhelming majority of estates complained about abnormally early and rapid malolactic fermentations, Lardiere's 1997 Corton Pougets was just finishing that secondary fermentation at the time of my visit, sixteen months after the harvest. It is medium-to-dark ruby-colored and tight both in its aromas and flavor profile. With aeration, scents of black fruits and tar could be detected. On the palate, this dense, medium-to-full-bodied, highly concentrated, and austere wine reluctantly revealed brambleberries, stones, and licorice. It is backward, replete with loads of well-ripened tannins, and demands cellaring. Projected maturity: 2004-2012.

This is still very tight but there is good vigor, indeed even force behind this wine. One of the better DRC Échézeaux in a long time, in fact as good as the terrific '88 though stylistically different."(92pts BH)1 bottle per lot $1000-1400

8269 Peter Michael Red - Vintage 1992Les Pavots(Wines Located in New York)"...is the first vintage that has begun to exhibit some complex cedar, lead pencil, and cassis aromas.

Black/ruby in color, with a closed-but-burgeoning bouquet of spicy new oak, black fruits, and flowers, this muscular, full-bodied, tannic wine is packed with fruit, and is clearly one of the great long-distance runners from this vintage."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

The wine's color is a saturated, nearly opaque purple/garnet. The huge nose of melted road tar, black fruits, smoked meats, and herbs is penetrating and intense.

It possesses a Bordeaux-like personality, as one might expect since Opus One is owned by Baroness Philippe de Rothschild and the winemaking team comes primarily from Pauillac."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $500-700

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.

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

On the palate, it exhibits a massive display of richness and extract, yet with pinpoint delineation and vibrancy as well as a 60+ second finish, this is the kind of phenomenal wine that Perse's critics were afraid he might produce - a no-compromise, immortal wonder that represents the essence of one of Bordeaux's greatest terroirs.

made at the estate, which is saying something given how impressive recent wines have been. The color is a healthy saturated, nearly opaque purple. The nose offers intense aromas of black fruits, beautifully integrated, toasty new oak, minerals, and flowers. This concentrated, impressively delineated wine provides the quintessential marriage of power and finesse, richness without heaviness, purity without blandness, and character without sterility. Medium to full-bodied, and intensely flavorful in the mouth, it does not come across as heavy or overdone. As the wine sits in the glass, it unfolds to offer additional nuances, and an unmistakable perfume of blueberries."(90pts)10 bottles per lot $450-600

8736 Chevalier Montrachet - Vintage 1999La Cabotte, Bouchard, Pere et Fils(Wines Located in New York)"Rich and dramatic yet not at all overblown, this offers gorgeously complex fruits, primarily citrus and white flowers, which beautifully complement the chiseled, exquisitely muscular flavors and persistence that must be experienced to be believed. While not as big or complex as the Montrachet, it does offer a touch more minerality and finesse.

8779 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 1995Les Combettes, Sauzet(Wines Located in New York)"My favorite of the Sauzet Puligny portfolio was the spectacular Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes. Because of high levels of millerandage (fruit embryos that were prevented from maturing due to the cold spell in May), Boudot only attained yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare (less than 2 tons per acre.).

8786 Chevalier Montrachet - Vintage 2006Domaine Leflaive(Wines Located in Hong Kong)"This is actually somewhat similar to the nose of the Folati res in the sense of having that mineral reduction character so often found in Chablis but as one would expect, the aromas are notably more elegant, refined and complex while being followed by textured, pure, detailed and delineated flavors that are quite reserved and cool at present while culminating in a focused, crystalline and driving finish. This does a slow build from the mid-palate before exploding onto the knockout finish. A Zen wine."(93-96pts BH)2 bottles per lot $700-1000

8791 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 2006Pauillac1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"The 2006 is a wine to stockpile, especially for those in their thirties and forties as it needs another decade to reach maturity, after which it should keep for 30+ years. This vineyard, just south of Mouton Rothschild, has produced an opaque bluish/purple-colored 2006 with an extraordinarily pure nose of graphite, charcoal, sweet creme de cassis, and a hint of scorched earth. Incredible concentration, stunning richness, and a 60-second finish result in a wine that transcends the vintage as well as this estate's 1855 classification.

fruits, minerals, and roasted herbs is provocative. In the mouth, this wine displays considerable body for a Lafite, plenty of power, and a fleshy, rich, sweet mid-palate.

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

There is great intensity, compelling purity, a multi-layered, full-bodied palate, and a finish that goes on for nearly 70+ seconds. Bottled naturally, with no filtration, it is a monumental example of the elegance and power that symbolize this extraordinary vineyard.

It also had luscious fruit, a plum, cassis and black olive trifecta. There were secondary brick, wheat and nut aromas. Its fruit was meltingly sweet, and red mixed in with purple and a splash of black. It was quite explosive on the finish with its tannins and acidity, yet it was still balanced with a wealth of a fruit rainbow. Green olive flavors graced its finish. It was just flat-out delicious wine, still sturdy, long and fine. Some food toned down the (positive) aggressive nature of its t n a qualities, but its acidity stayed long and scintillating."(96pts JK)3 bottles per lot $750-1000

The wine has smoky, earthy notes intermixed with graphite, camphor, damp earth, jammy cassis, cedar, and a hint of mushroom.

The provocative bouquet of smoke, liquified minerals, cocoa, blackberries, blueberries, and vanilla is accompanied by a multiple-tiered wine with sweet tannin and dry vintage port-like richness. It is full-bodied, yet remarkably well-delineated as well as light on its feet.

9150 Château Haut Brion Blanc - Vintage 2001Graveslbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Whether this wine ultimately turns out to be better than the profound 1994 and 1985 remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that this is the most immense and large-scaled Haut-Brion Blanc I have ever tasted. Jean Delmas, administrator of the Dillon properties, felt the 1989 fully replicated the fleshy, chewy texture of a great Grand Cru white Burgundy. Only 600 cases were made of this rich, alcoholic, sumptuous wine. It is amazingly full and long in the mouth, with a very distinctive mineral, honeyed character. The low acidity would seemingly suggest a shorter life than normal, but I am convinced this wine will last 10-15 or more years. It is a real show stopper!"(98pts)1 bottle per lot $420-600

Aromatic, with scents of black currants, cherries, flowers, leather, and spice, the stunningly rich, full-bodied Arietta displays both power and elegance.

bsl (Wines Located in New York)"The initial hints of secondary aromas are now appearing and lead to round, rich and full-bodied flavors that have lost none of their detail or precision and the beautifully long finish offers really lovely complexity. In particular, this has kept its intensity and there is still some underlying reserve, which suggests that it has not quite reached its peak."(90pts BH)1 bottle per lot $60-80

9310 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 1998Bonneau du Martray1ltl, 2x3 magnum ocb's (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"...1998 Corton-Charlemagne benefitted from the extra hang time by gaining richness, breadth, opulence, and riper acidities. Its delightful tropical fruit (pineapple and passion fruit) and spiced apple aromas lead to its velvety-textured, medium-bodied personality. This is a harmonious 1998, without any of the angular acid and tart aspects that typify so many of this difficult vintage's efforts. Its long seamless finish, and dense, fruit-packed character are outstanding."(91pts)6 magnums per lot $700-900

9313 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 1999Bonneau du Martray2lscl, 2bsl, 2nl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"As de la Morini re suggests, this is a good deal more powerful than the 2000 version but it is not quite as bright or quite as focused. That said, this is a very impressive effort with big, almost massive aromas of earth, ripe green fruits such as apples and pears leading to equally big, powerful flavors that offer great mouthfeel, all of which is underpinned by plenty of minerality and more than adequate buffering acidity. This is extremely long already but this should continue to improve for 7 to 10 years and hold for much longer than that."(92pts BH)8 bottles per lot $600-850

9314 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2003Bonneau du Martray1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"The white flower and very ripe green apple aromas are nuanced by notes of straw and melon with rich, sweet and opulent medium full flavors that are thick, powerful and display ample pain grillé plus a touch of bitter lemon on the long finish. This is a dense, mouth coating wine with huge amounts of dry extract and while it will certainly age, there is so much baby fat present that it could be approached now."(91pts BH)12 bottles per lot $900-1200

9315 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2005

Bonneau du Martray2x1 magnum owc's (Wines Located in New York)"Ripe yet distinctly discreet and reserved green fruit and floral aromas that are airy, pure and lightly spicy merge into intense, precise and penetrating medium full flavors blessed with terrific acid/fruit balance and huge length. This is really a lovely wine that is presently a tightly coiled spring and in need of extended bottle aging to really put on display the superb potential here. A stunner and one of the best examples of this appellation in 2005."(93-95pts BH)2 magnums per lot $400-600

9316 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2007Bonneau du Martray1x3 magnum owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"A wonderfully elegant, pure and high-toned nose that is quite floral with a pronounced citrus influence to the green apple and wet stone notes that border on a mineral- reduction character, which continues onto the detailed and equally pure flavors that possess a cuts-likea- knife linearity on the bone dry and palate staining finish."(93pts BH)3 magnums per lot $450-600

9317 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2008Bonneau du Martrayremoved from owc (Wines Located in New York)"There is a hint of exoticism to the citrus, pear and white peach suffused nose that is presently trimmed in a noticeable, if very slight, touch of sulfur. The rich and extremely fresh middle weight plus flavors possess an impressive amount of dry extract as well as ample mineral influence on the austere and ultra-pure finish that seems to go on and on."(95pts BH)6 half-bottles per lot $260-350

9336 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 2006Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Lafite's severe selection process (42% made it into the grand vin) resulted in a full-bodied wine boasting an extraordinary perfume of charcoal, truffles, lead pencil shavings, and sensationally sweet, ripe black currant and cedar notes. A wine of extraordinary intensity, texture, and depth with silky tannins as well as awesome concentration, this has turned out to be a remarkable Lafite Rothschild that should be drinkable much earlier than the 2005, but age for three decades."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $550-750

9337 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 1996St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"...a spectacular nose of cassis, cherry liqueur, pain grille, and minerals. It is powerful and rich on the attack, with beautifully integrated tannin, massive concentration, yet no hint of heaviness or disjointedness It is a remarkable, seamless, palate-staining, and extraordinarily elegant wine - the quintessential St.-Julien."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $450-600

well as an exquisite perfume of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, unsmoked cigar tobacco, crushed rocks, damp earth, and hints of truffles and incense. The vineyard s limestone soils have provided massive concentration, a laser-like precision, fresh, zesty acidity, and massive tannin. Despite the wine s enormous concentration and intensity, there is a lightness to its style."(98+pts)1 bottle per lot $240-320

9342 Mazis Chambertin - Vintage 1996Faiveley(Wines Located in New York)"Deep ruby color. High-pitched, youthfully unevolved aromas of black cherry, dark berries and spice. Sweet and thick, even voluptuous, in the mouth; gives an impression of lower acidity yet this is still quite backward. Tannins are ripe and sweet. A terrific early showing for this wine, and remarkably lush for the vintage."(90-3pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $90-120

9343 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 1996L. Jadot(Wines Located in New York)"Deep, smoky aromas of espresso, bitter chocolate, meat and licorice, plus a floral topnote. Then penetrating, brisk and tightly wound, with terrific verve and structure. Boasts superb vivacity but comes across as surprisingly supple owing to its excellent extract."(94+?pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $150-200

9344 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 1996Clos St. Jacques, L. Jadot(Wines Located in New York)"Very saturated red-ruby. Bright, sweet black raspberry and cassis nose.

Grand cru quality."(91-4pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $90-120

9345 Chambertin - Vintage 2003N. Potelnl (Wines Located in New York)"Good medium red. Headspinning, expressive nose combines candied red fruits, chocolate, minerals, pepper, smoked meat, five-spice powder, underbrush and flowers; this incorporates all the Chambertin food groups. Hugely thick, sappy and sweet, with outstanding volume and breadth. Wonderfully dense flavors of

raspberry, menthol, five-spice powder and underbrush. Finishes with broad, noble tannins and unflagging persistence. This captures the essence of the 2003 vintage, and is showing spectacularly today. A no-brainer for those lucky enough to find a bottle: I thought I was drinking an old-style Burgundy from the '40s."(95pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $180-220

It is a superb, earthy expression of this Mourv dre-dominated cuvée."(96pts)1 magnum per lot $150-200

9348 Barolo - Vintage 2000Le Rocche del Falletto di Serralunga, Riserva, B.

Giacosa(Wines Located in New York)"...is like silk on the palate. Sweet, ripe tannins frame an exquisite core of fruit. The 2000 is remarkably elegant, sensual and polished but it doesn't quite provide the visceral thrill of the most monumental vintages. Still, this is a very strong showing from a wine that has frankly never moved me emotionally."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

9349 Barolo - Vintage 2001Le Rocche del Falletto di Serralunga, Riserva, B.

9353 Ornellaia - Vintage 2001Tenuta dell' Ornellaia1wisl, 1tl (Wines Located in New York)"Barrel sample bliss - similar to the '99 except much more intense finish with big cedar and dust components more weight as well to the palate coffee flavors, with the "most depth and layers of flavor," as Alessandro put it. Gains in the glass."(95pts JK)2 bottles per lot $300-400

9354 Sassicaia - Vintage 2004Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)"...is a lovely, understated effort. Medium in body, it presents nuanced layers of sweet dark fruit, licorice, menthol and toasted oak that gradually open onto a finely-knit frame of notable length. Today it appears to be quite reticent and still holding back much of its potential. Both bottles I sampled showed less vibrancy and freshness in both color and flavors than the other top 2004s I tasted alongside it, suggesting that the wine is still suffering from bottle shock."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $320-450

9355 Flor de Pingus - Vintage 2004(Wines Located in New York)"The sublime 2004 Flor de Pingus lacks the pure size and power of the 2005 but more than makes up for it with a regal elegance. The aromatics are already revealing considerable complexity while on the palate it is succulent, impeccably balanced, and mouth-coating. Give it another 5-6 years of bottle age and drink it from 2015 to 2034."(98pts)6 bottles per lot $800-1000

9356 Termanthia - Vintage 2004(Wines Located in New York)"On the palate the wine is an infant developmentally with densely packed ripe fruit, sensational balance, and a seamlessness that must be tasted to be believed. It should age like a great vintage of Lafite or Latour and have at least a 50 year life span. If you have a soul, sell it to the devil for a few bottles of this extraordinary liquid."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $400-600

9357 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999

9358 Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007Kayli Morgan Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"...may cause one to overdose on blue, black and red berry fruit. The extraordinary intensity, purity and depth in this rich, flamboyant, exuberant wine are mindboggling. This bigger-than-life Cabernet Sauvignon appears set for 20-30 years of aging."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

9359 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 2001Insignia(Wines Located in New York)"...continues to live up to my high praise from last year. Rich, elegant, and nuanced, this dense ruby/purple wine offers a nose of Crème de cassis, incense, licorice, chocolate, and spice box. It is full-bodied, opulently styled with plenty of tannin, but the structural aspects of the wine are well-concealed by its intensity and overall richness."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $320-420

9360 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 $150-200

Already delicious, it should put on weight and add additional nuances after bottling."(95-98pts)1 bottle per lot $200-260

(Wines Located in New York)"...exhibits extraordinary purity, and beautiful sweet blackberry and cassis notes along with hints of graphite, camphor, and a subtle, but intense meaty character.

9364 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2004Poker Face(Wines Located in New York)"Boasting classic blackberry, creme de cassis, charcoal, acacia flower, and subtle background toasty oak notes, it possesses a fabulous texture, beautiful richness and purity, and a finish that lasts nearly a minute. It is a wine of enormous richness, multiple dimensions, and unreal purity."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $450-600

9365 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2006Raven Series, No. 5(Wines Located in New York)"Offering a dense purple color, gorgeous fruit, and a sweet perfume of graphite, blackberries, blueberries, charcoal, licorice, tar, and new oak, it is a dense, full-bodied, well-endowed, beautifully layered, pure Syrah that should drink well for 10-15 years."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $220-300

9366 Aubert Vineyards Chardonnay - Vintage 2004Lauren Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"...huge notes of lemon oil, nectarines, quince, citrus blossoms, and crushed rocks/minerals. This big, rich, full-bodied Chardonnay boasts stunning acidity, a superb texture, and an amazing finish. This Chardonnay tends to be aged in 100% new oak (which is totally concealed) and is bottled without fining or filtration. Consequently, if it has just been shipped or moved, it can reveal a slight haze."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $180-240

9367 Aubert Vineyards Chardonnay - Vintage 2004Ritchie Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"...is tropical fruit-dominated with classic California notes of creme br l e, roasted pineapples, hazelnuts, brioche, and plenty of spice.
