1722 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007cuvée de Papet, Mont Olivet(Wines Located in New York)"The 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape La cuvée du Papet may will turn out to be their finest example since the 1998 and 1990. Stylistically, it probably comes closest to resembling the legendary 1990. Notes of roasted meats and smoked duck, with Provencal herbs, truffle, incense, licorice, and pepper, are all there, plus enormous quantities of red and black fruits. This is one heck of a complex wine, with a bouquet that is the essence of southern France, in particular Provence. Full-bodied, powerful, with the glycerin and level of richness covering some lofty tannins, this wine is already accessible and nearly impossible to resist,..."(98+pts)1 bottle per lot $100-150

This wine shares some of the chocolatey characteristics of the two Merlot vintages, but there is more cassis liqueur, blackberries, blueberries, and pain grille (toast) notes in this lavishly rich, flamboyant proprietary red. The wine's flavors lingered for 42 seconds on the palate. Full-bodied, marvelously concentrated, and extremely well-balanced, this wine's acidity, tannin, and high alcohol are completely buried beneath the complex fruit and extract of this profound offering. I remember shaking my head in disbelief at the quality of these wines."(98pts)6 bottles per lot $1100-1500

As it sits in the glass, this full-bodied, dense 2001 offers up notes of pepper, smoke, and balsam wood. Rich and voluptuous with great length, massive body, and a structured, long, heady, tannic finish, its alcohol must be over 15%, but it is well concealed by the wine s great concentration."(96pts)

3499 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2011LPV(Wines Located in New York)"...the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard LPV, which comes from clone 337 of the Las Piedras site. This is a west side valley floor vineyard with a foundation of alluvial river pebbles and rocks as well as gravelly loam. The Schraders have a long-term lease on 5 acres, which, added to their 16 acres of Beckstoffer To Kalon and 5 acres of Beckstoffer George III, gives them some pretty serious leases on some of the finest terroirs in Napa Valley. The softest wine of this portfolio, there are 350 cases of the 2011 LPV, far less than the 600 cases produced in 2012. Given its warm micro-climated, these grapes were picked before the rains descended. The wine exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, supple tannins, and sweet red and black currants, licorice, Christmas fruitcake, incense and forest floor. This beautiful, medium-bodied 2011 is already complex and evolved."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $260-400

Offering surprising richness and depth, with a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated feel on the palate, it offers copious black cherry, leather, ground pepper and minerality on the nose. As with the other cuvées, it is a forward, fleshy vintage for the cuvée, yet it possesses fine tannin, terrific mid-palate depth and an all-around balanced, harmonious feel that should allow it to age gracefully."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $280-350

5275 Riesling Smaragd - Vintage 2012Liebenberg, Alzinger(Wines Located in New York)"Alzinger's 2012 Riesling Smaragd Liebenberg originates in two of the highest-elevation parcels of this site, which he believes explains why his renditions are a bit more filigree than those from mid and lower slopes of this vineyard. Ripe honeydew melon near the rind laced with fresh lime, coriander, radish and white pepper make for an invigorating and incisive performance, with sweet allusions to nutmeg offering contrast while wet stone helps frame the flavors in a long finish. I anticipate this performing well through at least 2018."(91pts)5 bottles per lot $400-600

High-pitched red fruits and flowers on the nose, with a sexy Asian spice quality and a hint of minerals; smells like a high-class Burgundy. Silky in texture and alluringly sweet, with deep but lively raspberry and cherry flavors and strong mineral cut. Very precise, tangy wine with refreshing back-end energy and a lingering floral note. Reportedly from vines over 80 years of age, planted higher than 800 meters."(92pts ST)7 bottles per lot $300-400

5329 Corullon - Vintage 2009La Faraona, Descendientes de Jose Palacios2hbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Opaque ruby with a bright rim. Highly complex bouquet combines candied cherry, raspberry, mineral and allspice, along with a suave floral component. Sweet, silky and dense, with sexy flavors of strawberry,

raspberry and exotic spices. Deep in flavor but shockingly lithe, with suave, dusty tannins adding shape and grip to the very long, sweet, mineral-driven finish. This wine could do some damage in a grand cru Burgundy tasting."(95pts ST)2 bottles per lot $700-900

5344 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2011LPV(Wines Located in New York)"...the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard LPV, which comes from clone 337 of the Las Piedras site. This is a west side valley floor vineyard with a foundation of alluvial river pebbles and rocks as well as gravelly loam. The Schraders have a long-term lease on 5 acres, which, added to their 16 acres of Beckstoffer To Kalon and 5 acres of Beckstoffer George III, gives them some pretty serious leases on some of the finest terroirs in Napa Valley. The softest wine of this portfolio, there are 350 cases of the 2011 LPV, far less than the 600 cases produced in 2012. Given its warm micro-climated, these grapes were picked before the rains descended. The wine exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, supple tannins, and sweet red and black currants, licorice, Christmas fruitcake, incense and forest floor. This beautiful, medium-bodied 2011 is already complex and evolved."(93pts)4 bottles per lot $800-1000

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

This is unquestionably a spectacular effort, displaying a saturated purple color, and a knock-out blackberry, chocolate, licorice, and earthy-scented nose. Exquisitely balanced, this full-bodied wine is crammed with fruit, yet it does not come across as heavy or overbearing. This wine has benefited from having its malolactic take place in barrel (which tends to integrate the wood into the wine earlier, and, some say, more effectively than when it is done in tank). The layers of fruit are ripe, the wine's purity impeccable, and the overall balance impressive."(93-96pts)6 bottles per lot $260-350

7516 Château Monbousquet - Vintage 1996St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"...the opaque purple color and gorgeous nose of sweet blueberries, cassis, and new oak are complemented by the wine's remarkable richness and multi-layered texture. Serious tannin can be detected in this huge, fleshy wine, so look for this wine to take on more definition after 3-4 years of cellaring. It should age well for two decades.

Its combination of power and elegance brought to mind the 1986 Margaux, one of the finest wines ever produced by that illustrious estate. When I first tasted this wine at the estate in Snohomish, Golitzen was worried that it was too big and powerful. I found myself in the all-too-rare position of defending a wine's qualities to the person who had made it!"(94pts)

Keep in mind, as my editor pointed out to me, this is the third straight vintage of this cuvée to merit a perfect score, which must be the first of its kind in 32 years of critiquing wines. Blueberry pie intermixed with creme de cassis, licorice, subtle oak and forest floor notes are followed by an extraordinary wine of staggering richness, luxurious fruit and seamlessness."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

The T6 is the first Cabernet in this tasting where the structure of the vintage is indelibly stamped into the wine. Today, the 2010 is incredibly backward. A long, cool growing season stretching 130 days from bud break to harvest yielded loose clusters with small, thick-skinned grapes."(96+pts)

"...the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard LPV, which comes from clone 337 of the Las Piedras site. This is a west side valley floor vineyard with a foundation of alluvial river pebbles and rocks as well as gravelly loam. The Schraders have a long-term lease on 5 acres, which, added to their 16 acres of Beckstoffer To Kalon and 5 acres of Beckstoffer George III, gives them some pretty serious leases on some of the finest terroirs in Napa Valley. The softest wine of this portfolio, there are 350 cases of the 2011 LPV, far less than the 600 cases produced in 2012. Given its warm micro-climated, these grapes were picked before the rains descended. The wine exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, supple tannins, and sweet red and black currants, licorice, Christmas fruitcake, incense and forest floor. This beautiful, medium-bodied 2011 is already complex and evolved."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $1200-1600

"An utterly perfect wine that exemplifies this extraordinary vintage for North Coast Bordeaux varietals is the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder, which comes from the Jackson family's Veeder Peak Vineyard. Unfortunately, slightly less than 300 cases were produced, so availability is limited. A dense opaque blue/purple color is followed by notes of lead pencil shavings, ink, blueberry liqueur, raspberries and black currants. The wine is super intense as well as extremely full-bodied and opulent with great structure, purity and density. (I know this sounds weird, but when I smelled and tasted it, it reminded me of the 2010 La Mission Haut Brion that I had tasted a month earlier, no doubt because of its volcanic/hot rock-like character.) This phenomenal wine is a modern day legend from Napa. "(100pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

This is unquestionably a spectacular effort, displaying a saturated purple color, and a knock-out blackberry, chocolate, licorice, and earthy-scented nose. Exquisitely balanced, this full-bodied wine is crammed with fruit, yet it does not come across as heavy or overbearing. This wine has benefited from having its malolactic take place in barrel (which tends to integrate the wood into the wine earlier, and, some say, more effectively than when it is done in tank).

Super full-bodied with fabulous fruit purity, a broad, expansive mouthfeel, lots of glycerin and a huge upside, this 2001 is still an infant at age ten, but it is approachable as well as compelling to smell and taste.

It might not possess the power of the Nacional but it has freshness to spare.

Revealing a saturated, dark purple color, its soft, salty, black raspberry jam, licorice, and coconut aromas lead to a medium to full-bodied character of unbelievable sweetness.

The color is a saturated blue/purple that looks more like vintage port than dry table wine. A spectacular bouquet of melted chocolate, licorice, blackberry jam, blueberries, and cassis is accompanied by an awesomely concentrated, massively proportioned wine that somehow has just enough acidity and tannin to both pull it together and provide some delineation. The wine is gorgeously pure, with massive power and weight, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. Low acidity, high glycerin, 14.5% alcohol, and thrilling levels of extract/concentration make for a nearly perfect drinking experience."(99pts)1 magnum per lot $160-220

This wine shares some of the chocolatey characteristics of the two Merlot vintages, but there is more cassis liqueur, blackberries, blueberries, and pain grille (toast) notes in this lavishly rich, flamboyant proprietary red. The wine's flavors lingered for 42 seconds on the palate. Full-bodied, marvelously concentrated, and extremely well-balanced, this wine's acidity, tannin, and high alcohol are completely buried beneath the complex fruit and extract of this profound offering. I remember shaking my head in disbelief at the quality of these wines."(98pts)

Exceptionally full-bodied, with an unctuous texture, and a thick, rich, expansive mid-palate, this superbly concentrated wine appears to be a worthy rival to this estate's phenomenal 1989 and 1990."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $120-170

Half of the wine is aged in neutral wood foudres and the other half in tank prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. The sources for Mon Aieul are three vineyard parcels with vines averaging between 75 and 87 years of age. The 2001 is much more structured and backward than the 2000, 1999, or 1998."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $130-200

As the wine sat in the glass, notes of minerals, coffee, spice, and underbrush emerged. There is still copious tannin in the finish (I am not sure it will ever be fully resolved), but this sumptuous, complex, fragrant, super-rich Latour cuts a broad swath across the palate. Fully mature, it is best consumed over the next decade."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $1500-2000

I remember first tasting it from a large tank as it was still fermenting and it was already impressive! It is a full-bodied, powerful wine that must tip the scales at close to 15.5% natural alcohol. I don't think this big, chewy, voluptuously textured wine will ever close down. Dark plum/garnet with the classic Provencal display of garrigue, lavender, pepper, kirsch and Asian plum sauce, this full-throttle wine has splendid concentration, silky tannins, and a very voluptuous texture."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

17039 Château Lafleur - Vintage 1989Pomerolts, lgsl, lwisl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"We ended with perhaps my favorite wine from the vintage, the 1989 Lafleur. Tonight was no exception. The nose was brooding, almost like Frankenstein in a trance. It left us all in a trance, digging deeper to get at the core of this extraordinary wine. Its deep, dark nose was full of concentrated purple and black fruits and a touch of currant tang. It had the spice, the spine; this was serious juice with amazing t n a, brood and breed. Ray and I got into an 89 versus 90 Lafleur debate, him being on the wrong side of it with the 90. Hints of raisiny sex appeal rounded out the nose. The finish was huge without being huge, like the 6 8" power forward that can still bring the ball up the court; aka, it was still stylish despite its large frame. It is still my favorite Lafleur of the last forty years, pure class in the glass."(98pts JK)1 bottle per lot $700-900

The reluctant nose offers up aromas of smoky, toasty new oak and blackcurrants, as well as a few flowers.

17345 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 2000St. Juliensdc (Wines Located in New York)"The saturated purple-colored 2000 Leoville Barton is one of the greatest wines ever made at this estate. The wine has smoky, earthy notes intermixed with graphite, camphor, damp earth, jammy cassis, cedar, and a hint of mushroom.

I would rank it at the top of the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching the 1989's extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential.

The Margaux had a pungent nose, and its t n a jumped out at first. It also had cinnamon, iron, rock and gorgeous perfume. It was beyond licorice according to Dan, and Australian John admired its cherry liqueur. The palate was rocky without the horror but with the picture show, not its usual feminine self, Ray observed. Though spiny and long, the Margaux was still stylish with a touch of that Margaux elegance. This was a great bottle of this wine, and it ended up being wine of the flight, outshowing all the other First Growths."(97pts JK)3 bottles per lot $1800-2400

Serious tannin can be detected in this huge, fleshy wine, so look for this wine to take on more definition after 3-4 years of cellaring. It should age well for two decades. Given the owner's commitment to quality, as well as the results he has obtained to date, the price of this wine can only go up, up, and up."(90pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400

The 1996 looks to be another classic for Pontet-Canet.

17363 Château Smith Haut Lafitte - Vintage 1996Graves1nl (Wines Located in New York)"Since its acquisition by the Cathiard family, this property continues to be one of Bordeaux's shining success stories. The 1996 may be the finest wine yet 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)2 bottles per lot $85-110

17364 Château Smith Haut Lafitte - Vintage 2000Graves(Wines Located in New York)"A sensational effort, and undeniably the finest wine to ever emerge from this estate, the opaque purple-colored 2000 offers scents of tobacco, camphor, graphite, creme de cassis, and licorice. This full-bodied, concentrated effort possesses low acidity, a multi-layered texture, tremendous intensity of flavor, and a persistent finish with considerable ripe, well-integrated tannin. This is a brilliant example of equilibrium and finesse allied to

This full-bodied, tannic wine was aged in 60% new oak casks. It possesses copious quantities of black fruit flavors, a chewy texture, and very fine length.

Syrah but I was informed to be 'wrong and wrong' by a gleeful Roy, I mean Ray almost honeyed and a pinch of black and white pepper smooth, satiny palate with chocolaty flavors, good richness, and a decent finish with gritty tannins bordering on overoaky but not there tasty, hedonistic wine - not your Grandmother's (please put Italian translation) Sangiovese!"(92pts JK)4 bottles per lot $75-110

17654 Sine Qua Non Grenache - Vintage 2000Incognitotl (Wines Located in New York)"...is the finest Grenache-based effort the Krankls have yet produced. A black/ruby/purple color is followed by a lavishly exotic nose of super-rich as well as super-ripe black cherries, black currants, blackberries, licorice, pepper, and other heavenly delights. It is a wine of extraordinary opulence, texture, and purity with a finish that lasts 65+ seconds. Undeniably the greatest Grenache I have tasted from California..."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $650-800

_____________________________

17655 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994(Wines Located in New York)"... is one of those rare wines that possesses awesome aromatic, flavor, and texture dimensions. Totally dry, it comes across as sweet because of its highly extracted, ripe fruit. Opaque purple/black-colored, with a knock-out nose of black fruit (cassis and black-raspberries), this wine hits the palate with phenomenal concentration that brilliantly manages to be neither heavy nor overbearing. Plenty of velvety tannin is concealed behind the fruit's remarkable intensity. The wine's purity, presence, and finish are unbelievable. I predict this wine will turn out to be a legend!"(98pts)1 bottle per lot $320-450

17656 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994Hillside Select(Wines Located in New York)"...is a prodigious Cabernet. I had it at a tasting in Japan, and the Japanese were as enthusiastic about it as my rating suggested they should be.

17657 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 1996Against the Wall1ltl (Wines Located in New York)"The color is opaque black/purple, and the nose offers a combination of cassis/blackberry jamminess intermixed

17658 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2001Midnight Oil(Wines Located in New York)"...its aromas of violet/acacia flowers, melted licorice, camphor, blackberries, Crème de cassis, and subtle toasty new oak are accompanied by a wine boasting terrifiCôtexture, good underlying acidity, ripe tannin, and a 60-second plus finish."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $700-1000

17659 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 1995The Other Hand(Wines Located in New York)"Full-bodied, yet gorgeously layered and nearly seamless in its flamboyant display of fruit, glycerin, and extract, this large-scaled, yet drinkable Syrah will benefit from another 5-6 years in the bottle, but it is already accessible. It is another example of why I think wineries in this region should be ripping out their Pinot Noir vines and re-planting with Syrah!..."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $650-900

17660 Romanée St. Vivant - Vintage 1995R. Arnoux(Wines Located in New York)"Deeper, sappier aromas of black fruits, oak spice, cocoa and minerals.

Again, the extraordinary finishing fruit makes the tannins virtually disappear."(95pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $320-500

17661 Romanée St. Vivant - Vintage 1996R.

17662 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2009Collection Charles Giraud, Domaine St. Prefert(Wines Located in New York)"What I tend to think of as the top cuvée, although it is not that certain when you taste these wines next to each other, is the Châteauneuf du Pape Collection Charles Giraud. The 2009, which is showing better from bottle than it did last year, is a wonderfully complex wine made from 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre. (The Grenache comes from 80-year-old vines aged in concrete, and the Mourvedre from 60-year-old vines aged in 600-litre demi-muids). This wine was utterly

perfect in 2007, and I think the 2009 is another fabulous wine. Complex notes of licorice, incense, lavender, new saddle leather, blackberry and kirsch along with some tree bark and roasted meats are all present in this complex, fragrant wine, which is full-bodied, dense, rich and capable of improving."(95+pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

17663 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2010Collection Charles Giraud, Domaine St. Prefert1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"A magnificent offering that is not far off the perfect 2007 is the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape Collection Charles Giraud. While it exhibits a touch of spicy oak and a distinctive loamy earthiness, it is dominated by creme de cassis, kirsch, lavender, licorice, steak tartare and Provencal herb notes. Peppery, spicy, rich, pure and impressively well-delineated, it is a superb example of Châteauneuf du Pape made in a quasi-modern style that also represents an hommage to past traditions as well as some of the innovative advantages of blending and harvesting ripe fruit."(98pts)12 bottles per lot $1800-2400

17664 Château Pavie - Vintage 2000St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"...the color is an opaque purple, and the bouquet offers up notes of liquid minerals, blackberries, cherries, and cassis intermixed with spice box, cedar, and white flowers. 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. Life is too short not to own and consume the 2000 Pavie.."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $320-420

Drouhin(Wines Located in New York)"This is also quite floral with a ripe and somber nose of earthy liqueur-like aromas that give way to exceptionally rich, intense and full-bodied flavors that possess fine complexity and excellent length. I quite like this though it's not quite in the league of the very best wines in the range. This should age well over the next 20 years and live for much longer."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $100-140

The extremely persistent, subtle fruit outlasts the firm but sweet tannins."(92-5pts IWC)3 bottles per lot $260-350

Thus, how much you will like this wine necessarily depends on whether moderately strong reduction bothers you or not. By contrast, the highly energetic and vibrant rich, round and detailed medium-bodied flavors possess good extract for the vintage and plenty of punch and persistence on the finish."(90pts BH)2 bottles per lot $180-240

17691 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 2005Clavoillon, Domaine Leflaive(Wines Located in New York)"A discreet touch of pain grillé and reduction frames fresh and exotic aromas of peach, melon and mango that continue onto the round, rich and concentrated flavors that possess real texture due to the solid dry extract on the mouth coating and solidly long finish."(91pts BH)2 bottles per lot $180-260

17692 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 2005Les Pucelles, Domaine Leflaive(Wines Located in New York)"A very discreet touch of brioche highlights the much more reserved honeysuckle, anise, honeysuckle and apricot aromas that are elegant, pure and wonderfully refined and dissolve into sweet, intense and unusually precise flavors that also reflect more minerality than I typically find in this wine as well, culminating in superb punch and energy. A terrific vintage for Pucelles and one to consider closely."(93pts BH)3 bottles per lot $550-700

17699 Montrachet - Vintage 2004Sauzetlscl, lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"Interestingly, this is almost as elegant as the Chevalier yet more aromatically complex, combining with rich and full flavors that are not super concentrated but with simply superb depth and precision on the explosive long and palate staining finish. Usually Montrachet is a monumental wine yet this is more of a welter weight as it's sleekly muscular yet it packs plenty of punch and power plus simply huge length.

Terrific concentration is immediately evident in this rich, full-bodied, multidimensional wine. Although there are loads of tannin, the overall impression is one of purity, intensity, and stunning richness, all buttressed and defined by adequate acidity and ripe but noticeable tannin."(90pts)1 bottle per lot $50-70

17714 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1989Pauillaclbsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but what a great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching the 1989's extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential. Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle smoke, oak and graphite. Powerful and rich with some tannins still to shed at age 22.."(99+pts)

1 bottle per lot $260-350

17715 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1996Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"...with all the vintages of the nineties represented, this wine stood out for its absolute purity of Crème de cassis, ripe fruit, medium to full body, high tannin, wonderful sweetness, massive richness on the mid-palate, and abundant power, density, and ripeness. It is clearly the finest Lynch-Bages since the 1989 and 1990."(94pts)1 magnum per lot $260-350

17717 Château Montrose - Vintage 1990St. Estephelbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The wine is remarkably rich, with a distinctive nose of sweet, jammy fruit, liquefied minerals, new saddle leather, and grilled steak. In the mouth, the enormous concentration, extract, high glycerin, and sweet tannin slide across the palate with considerable ease. It is a huge, corpulent, awesomely-endowed wine that is still relatively approachable..."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $450-600

17718 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1994Pauillac2vlscl (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)2 bottles per lot $150-200

17719 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 1990Sauternesspc (Wines Located in New York)"An extraordinary effort, Yquem s 1990 is a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine.

High quality, subtle toasty oak is well-integrated..."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

17720 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1990Château de Beaucastel(Wines Located in New York)"Two great back to back vintages are the 1990 and 1989. The more developed 1990 boasts an incredible

perfume of hickory wood, coffee, smoked meat, Asian spices, black cherries, and blackberries. Lush, opulent, and full-bodied, it is a fully mature, profound Beaucastel that will last another 15-20 years."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $140-180

17721 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1995Château de Beaucastel(Wines Located in New York)"Very youthful, with a ripe core of red currant and raspberry fruit and licorice flavor surrounded by creamy tannins. Plenty of smoke, mineral and tobacco notes chiming in, but this still has a ways to go, with plenty of grip still on the finish."(95pts WS)2 bottles per lot $120-160

17722 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1998Château de Beaucastel(Wines Located in New York)"The 1998 is unquestionably one of the great modern day Beaucastels, but because of its high Grenache content, it is different from some of the other classics."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

17723 Hermitage - Vintage 1998J.L. Chave(Wines Located in New York)"Subtle, extremely complex nose melds cassis, bitter cherry, licorice, menthol and gunflint. Great purity and class in the middle palate, though extremely young and not currently showing the texture of the unfinished '99. But this is utterly compelling syrah, finishing with superb length and extremely fine tannins for the vintage. The '99 may be more pliant in the early going thanks to its sweeter tannins, but I'm not yet convinced it will surpass this brilliant '98."(94+pts IWC)3 bottles per lot $450-600

17724 Hermitage - Vintage 1999J.L. Chave(Wines Located in New York)"It is a brilliant effort. The wine exhibits fabulous texture, purity, and sweetness as well as a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. There is high tannin, remarkably rich, concentrated extract, and tell-tale Hermitage fruit characteristics (blackberries, cassis), minerals, and spice."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $500-700

17725 Hermitage - Vintage 1990Monier de la Sizeranne, M. Chapoutier(Wines Located in New York)"The color is a dark purple, and with coaxing, the super ripe nose of cassis, licorice, minerals, and spices has begun to emerge. This full-bodied, tannic wine was aged in 60% new oak casks. It possesses copious quantities of black fruit flavors, a chewy texture, and very fine length. I suspect this wine needs until the turn of the century to approach maturity."(91pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

17726 Hermitage - Vintage 1990La Chapelle, P. Jaboulet2lbsl, 2scc (Wines Located in New York)"Spectacular aromatics offer up aromas of incense, smoke, blackberry fruit, cassis, barbecue spice, coffee, and a touch of chocolate. As it sits in the glass, additional nuances of pepper and grilled steak emerge. There is extraordinary freshness for such a mammoth wine in addition to abundant tannin, an amazing 60-second finish, and a level of glycerin and thick, fleshy texture that have to be tasted to be believed."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $800-1100

17727 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1991

bn (Wines Located in New York)"...abundant, pure aromas of cassis, minerals, and spicy oak.

Its inner core of cassis fruit is something to savor!..."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

17728 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994

(Wines Located in New York)"The saturated black/purple color is followed by aromas of gorgeously pure blackberry and cassis scents. Toasty oak notes are barely discernable given the wine's bombastic display of black fruits, huge, chewy glycerin level, and sensational finish."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $200-280

17729 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1995

sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The color is an opaque purple. The wine is full-bodied and powerful, with classic notes of cassis intermixed with loamy soil scents, underbrush, and spice. There is massive body and elevated, but sweet tannin that is well-integrated with the wine's other components, a blockbuster mid-palate, and a finish that lasts for 30+seconds..."

17730 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1997

lwisl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"Opaque purple-colored with a dense, chewy, full-bodied personality, it displays abundant cassis, mineral, and earth notes.

17731 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001

and 4% Cabernet Franc (which saw about 25% new oak), it exhibits a tremendously pure, but tightly-knit bouquet of Crème de cassis, leather, forest floor, minerals, and licorice. Dense, with layer upon layer of concentrated black fruits intermixed with spice and wood, it displays full body, great purity, low acidity, and a solid lashing of heavy duty tannin in the blockbuster finish. It s great stuff..."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

17732 Dominus - Vintage 1992(Wines Located in New York)"... exhibits an open knit, opulent, rich, easy-going character with gorgeous levels of earthy, cassis fruit intertwined with scents of herbs, coffee, and chocolate/mocha ice cream.

17733 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 1994Insignia(Wines Located in New York)"...is spectacular. I have had the wine a half-dozen or more times, and it is unquestionably opulent, sexy, flamboyant, explosively rich, concentrated, and a thrill to drink. Already gorgeous, it promises to evolve gracefully for two decades or more. The color is a healthy saturated dark purple. The spicy nose offers aromas of black currants, allspice, pain grille, and soy, with scents of a burning wood fire thrown in for additional complexity."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

17734 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 1997Insigniascc (Wines Located in New York)"The color is a saturated thick-looking blue/purple. The nose offers up explosive aromas of jammy black fruits, licorice, Asian spices, vanillin, and cedar. Full-bodied as well as exceptionally pure and impressively endowed, this blockbuster yet surprisingly elegant wine cuts a brilliant swath across the palate."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

17735 Pahlmeyer Red - Vintage 1997(Wines Located in New York)"...flirts with perfection. This wine shares some of the chocolatey characteristics of the two Merlot vintages, but there is more cassis liqueur, blackberries, blueberries, and pain grille (toast) notes in this lavishly rich, flamboyant proprietary red. The wine's flavors lingered for 42 seconds on the palate. Full-bodied, marvelously concentrated, and extremely well-balanced, this wine's acidity, tannin, and high alcohol are completely buried beneath the complex fruit and extract of this profound offering. I remember shaking my head in disbelief at the quality of these wines."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

17736 Pahlmeyer Red - Vintage 2002(Wines Located in New York)

"Reveals an inky/purple color as well as a sexy, hedonistic smorgasbord of smoked herbs, wood embers, melted chocolate, blackberries, cassis, camphor, and toast. This heady, full-bodied, voluptuously textured 2002 is a pedal-to-the-metal, classic Napa Valley red filled with richness, intensity, and purity. It is impossible to ignore or resist. A candidate for Proprietary Wine of the Vintage, this beauty should be drunk over the next 14-15 years."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $200-260

17737 Pahlmeyer Merlot - Vintage 19963bn (Wines Located in New York)"...is aged in new Taransaud Bordeaux barrels.

Spectacularly concentrated, with an unctuous texture, low acidity, and fabulous fruit and ripeness..."(97pts)4 bottles per lot $300-400

17738 Dow's Vintage Port - Vintage 1994(Wines Located in New York)"The massive 1994 is unquestionably the finest Dow I have tasted since the 1977. This opaque purple-colored wine is not as developed or flamboyant as Fonseca, but it is super-concentrated and multi-layered, with huge masses of fruit and some tannin in the finish. This is a slightly drier style than Fonseca or Graham's, but it appears to be a classic, majestic, enormously constituted 1994 that should age effortlessly for three decades or more. It is one of the stars of the vintage."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $100-140

age. The reluctant nose offers up aromas of smoky, toasty new oak and blackcurrants, as well as a few flowers. The wine is mammoth, with extraordinary extract, superb balance, and a frightfully tannic finish.

The 1994 Monbousquet has more in common, stylistically, with the 1990 or 1982 vintages.

18072 Château Monbousquet - Vintage 1997St. Emilion12bn, 1iwsl, 5sos, 1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located inNew York)"I cannot lavish enough praise on the young, super-passionate proprietor of Monbousquet, Gerard Perse. Not only has he turned this moribund estate into one of St.-Emilion's most exciting properties, he has recently purchased Pavie-Decesse, Pavie, and La Clusiere. I predict he will turn these estates, particularly Pavie, into superstars. As for Monbousquet, this wine benefits from malolactic fermentation in barrel, extremely small yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, and bottling without fining or filtration. The opaque purple-colored 1997 ratchets up the level of hedonism to considerable heights. It is an impressively-endowed wine with layers of jammy black currant, cranberry, and cassis fruit, well-integrated toasty pain grille scents, and an unctuous texture that conceals moderate levels of sweet tannin. Unlike many wines with that "loosey-goosey" feel, this is a well-delineated, full-bodied, powerful, classic claret. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2018."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $420-550

Personally, I compare it to the '66 and the ultra elegant '79. The finesse is unbeatable and the acidity very noticeable. This is a wine that is going to be enjoyed by our grandchildren. Most people probably discourage immediate consumption of this young wine, but I am of a different opinion. I believe that a little bit of the subtle feeling of tears of joy disappears when the wine matures."(97pts RJ)1 bottle per lot $350-450

There is outstanding concentration and punch to the seductively textured and marvelously intense big-bodied flavors that are borderline robust as the supporting tannins are dense but refined.

bn, lbsl, excellent color and condition (Wines Locatedin New York)"This wine had a saturated, deep ruby color that made it look at least ten years younger. The nose was intense, but not that evolved. In the mouth, the wine tasted surprisingly young, dense, full-bodied, and capable of another 20-25 years of life. I have limited experience with this vintage, but I do not remember the 1966 being this spectacular. If this bottle, which was in gorgeous condition, was typical, this wine should merit attention from the wine auction crowd."(90pts)

18342 Condrieu - Vintage 1996La Doriane, E. Guigal1lbsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)"...is unquestionably the wine of the vintage for Condrieu. It is so far superior to anything else I tasted from this appellation, it only adds to my admiration for Guigal's talent. He crop thinned until he had eliminated 35% of the grapes, did a full malolactic fermentation, and aged this wine in both tank and small casks, of which 55% were new. The wine boasts a stunning floral and tropical fruit-scented nose with underlying honey and apricot liqueur-like aromas. Rich and medium to full-bodied, it possesses gorgeous freshness, vibrancy, and enough acidity for definition. This expressive, expansive, full-bodied, dry, fruit-filled Condrieu is a thrill to drink."(93pts)4 bottles per lot $130-180

This dark-colored wine is loaded with rich, chocolatey, blackcurrant fruit, with spicy, toasty oak, and the tannin is not out of balance.

18360 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Madrona Ranch(Wines Located in New York)"While I am not surprised that the 2001 Thorevilos turned out to be perfect, the 2001 Madrona Ranch was more of an eye-opener in that it has become even more extraordinary than I predicted eight years ago. A prodigious wine, with complex notes of subtle barbecue smoke intermixed with blueberry pie, black currant liqueur, acacia flowers, lead pencil shavings, and sweet foresty floor notes, this wine builds incrementally with layer upon layer of fruit, glycerin and concentration. The finish goes well past a minute, and the wine is full-bodied and deep, with wonderfully sweet tannin. It is still an adolescent in terms of its total evolution, but it is irresistible simply because of the flawless nature of the wine and incredible perfume and flavor intensity. Simply amazing! Both of these wines are adolescents, and probably won't peak for another 5-8 years and keep for 30-40."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $600-800

18719 Vega Sicilia Unico - Vintage 1970ts, lbsl, lstl, excellent color (Wines Located in New York)"The nose offers up smashingly intense aromas of lavishly-oaked, but gorgeously pure black-cherries and currants. The wine is full-bodied, and nearly sweet tasting because of the fruit's exceptional ripeness. Expansive and deep, with the wood, tannin, and acidity nearly masked by the sheer quantity of fruit, the 1970 Vega Sicilia Unico is a velvety-textured, seamless, rich, profound wine that is more approachable than the 1968, yet, along with that legendary wine, remarkably fresh and youthful. It is astonishing that a twenty-five year old wine could look, smell, and taste so young, yet also be so complex. No one knows how Vega Sicilia achieves such brilliance, but the proof is in the bottle."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

18729 Château Pavie - Vintage 2005St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Pavie is an absolutely amazing wine that has shed most of its oak aging (usually 24-28 months). Opaque purple in color, it is beyond belief in extract and concentration, but perfectly balanced and pure, with the oak well-integrated. Massively concentrated, and still a baby, this wine tastes more like it's two to three years old than one that's been around for a decade. Intense notes of grilled meats, spice box, cassis, black cherry, licorice and graphite arepresent in abundance. Enormously endowed, but with superlative purity and balance, this is the greatest Pavie in the early Perse era, starting in 1998. Only the 2009 and 2010 rival this in his opinion, but I would add the 2000. This killer effort should drink well for another 50 years and demonstrates the greatness of this terroir owned by the Perse family. Only 7,000 cases were produced from a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bravo!"(100pts)2 bottles per lot $500-650

18731 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 2010Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross-street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, there are also some violets and other assorted floral notes. The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent. The freshness, laser-like precision, and full-bodied, massive richness and extract are simply remarkable to behold and experience. It is very easy, to become jaded tasting such great wines from a great vintage, but it is really a privilege to taste something as amazing as this."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

Cinsault) tips the scales at a prodigious 15.8% alcohol. Half of the wine is aged in neutral wood foudres and the other half in tank prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. The sources for Mon Aieul are three vineyard parcels with vines averaging between 75 and 87 years of age.

Still deep garnet in color with only a trace of amber at the edge, this wine exhibits a fabulously exotic, sensual bouquet filled with aromas of tobacco, blackcurrants, cedar, and leather.

(Wines Located in New York)"The utterly perfect, dense ruby/purple-colored 1996 Barbaresco Asili (Red Label Riserva) is a heroic offering brilliantly displaying both power and elegance.

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.
