13458 Château Duhart Milon - Vintage 1996Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)“The 1996 Duhart-Milon-Rothschild is aging in wonderful fashion, to wit, a straight down the fairway Pauilliac. Now at 20 years of age, it has developed a fresh and very brine-scented bouquet with plenty of undergrowth and bell pepper aromas. You could almost imagine a bit of Loire Cabernet Franc in here! The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry, impressive body and backbone, likewise more than enough freshness on the structured finish laced with white pepper and bell pepper. Very classic in style, this is a Duhart for traditionalists, but I for one appreciate its style. It is drinking perfectly now but will continue to offer pleasure for another 20 years. Tasted July 2016.”(92pts)12 bottles per lot $900-1200

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)6 bottles per lot $800-1000

13709 Ermitage - Vintage 2002Le Pavillon, M. Chapoutier1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“As extraordinary as the 2003s are, I was also blown away by the 2002s produced by Chapoutier, some of which are among the top wines of this challenging vintage. As I have said so many times over the last 15 years, the top Chapoutier wines are meant for very long term drinking, and are not designed for immediate gratification. Everything Chapoutier is doing, from his bio-dynamically farmed vineyard to tiny yields, extended fermentations, indigenous yeasts, and no fining or filtration, is done to produce the essence of a vineyard and a vintage. His track record since 1989 and 1990 admirably proves that these are indeed remarkable wines made by a young genius who refuses to compromise. Michel Chapoutier has been misunderstood by some of his peers, and there is a lot of jealousy when someone this young is so incredibly talented, but it is an irrefutable fact that these are wines of singular greatness as well as longevity.”(91pts)6 bottles per lot $450-600

Estate(Wines Located in New York)“The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate is striking. Firm tannins support a core of expressive red berries, flowers and mint in this deep, powerful wine. Mocha, espresso and violets emerge over time, adding considerable complexity, power and depth. Layers of fruit flow through to the voluptuous, inviting finish, but the 2010 remains closed and not fully expressive. This is going to be a fascinating wine to follow over the coming years, and it should be thrilling once it comes together a bit more in bottle.”(97pts)3 bottles per lot $380-500

This is the first vintage in which 100% of the fermentations were indigenous, and, fortunately, all their Sonoma Coast vineyards were far enough south that they were not tainted by any of the smoke from the ferocious fires that spread through Mendocino. The 2008s appear to be slightly more fruit-forward, with a touch less minerality than the 2007s. They are full-bodied, impressively endowed wines, with the Chardonnays best drunk during their first 5-7 years of life, and the Pinot Noirs during their first 10-12.”(94-96pts)8 bottles per lot $1100-1600

Very Côte de Beaune-like, round and lush once it hits the palate, it should be drunk over the next 4-5 years. As usual, these wines from Steve Kistler and Mark Bixler are top-flight efforts and have been so for nearly three decades.”(90pts)6 bottles per lot $600-800

13812 Morlet Family Vineyards Cabernet Franc - Vintage 2010

Force de la Nature(Wines Located in New York)“Mocha, espresso, grilled herbs and sweet spices all take shape in the 2010 Cabernet Franc Force de La Nature. A wine with significant textural depth, the Cabernet France impresses for its intensity and pure personality. The 2010 is endowed with serious structure, but it doesn't have the pure silkiness and early accessibility of the best wines in this vintage. It will be interesting to see if the 2010 tannins soften with further

time in the bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2021-2031.”(93pts)3 bottles per lot $500-700

Force de la Nature(Wines Located in New York)“The nearly perfect Cabernet Franc Force de la Nature comes from a parcel of Cabernet Franc vines planted on the gravelly bench of the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. This cuvée is only produced in great vintages, which, of course, the 2012 and 2013 are. As with all of Luc Morlet's wines, there are no acid adjustments, no enzymes and no manipulation. The inky/blue/purple-colored, aromatic 2012 Cabernet Franc Force de la Nature boasts a floral, full-bodied, layered mouthfeel, fabulous intensity and notes of wet rocks, spring flowers, forest floor, blueberries and black raspberries. It is a tour de force as well as a force de la nature from the Oakville Corridor. Consume it over the next 10-20 years.”(98pts)3 bottles per lot $450-600

13820 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2015(Wines Located in New York)“A powerful wine that bears the stamp of the vintage, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up aromas of minty Crème de cassis, blackberries, dark chocolate and spice, framed by a lavish application of toasty new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and heady, with a generous core of ripe, liqueur-like fruit, a fine-grained chassis of tannins and a long, heavily oak-inflected finish. To hold the estate to its own high standards, after the more elegant and complete 2014, the 2015 vintage of Quilceda's flagship bottling feels a bit more overtly high-octane and marked by its time in new wood, and I don't think it will ever be as graceful. But it's a lusty, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon that will drink well for a decade or more.”(96pts)3 bottles per lot $450-600

13940 Château La Lagune - Vintage 2006Medoc3vlwrl (Wines Located in New York)“...the 2006 Château La Lagune showed marked variation between bottles. One felt a little fatigued on the nose, but another was more attractive with Hoisin and white pepper scents filtering through the black fruit. The palate feels a little pinched, but with continued bottle age I can see this developing more depth and complexity, demonstrating pleasing composure on the finish.

13942 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1986Pauillacts, vlbsl (Wines Located in New York)“Now at 30 years of age, there is a gulf between the two

Pichons in this vintage that no longer exists. The 1986 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has long been one of the best wines from the estate alongside the 1982 (even if the first bottle was a little oxidized). The second bottle was representative. It has a classic pencil-lead, cedar-infused nose that rockets from the glass, a subtle floral note developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, a pinch of white pepper and cedar, structured compared to coeval vintages and perhaps further along its drinking plateau than previous examples. Certainly à point, I would be reaching for bottles of this now if you cannot locate those 1982s, or alternatively seek out the superlative 1996. This still remains a fine, rather regal Pichon-Lalande. Tasted July 2016.”(95pts)1 bottle per lot $220-280

The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, a life-affirming sense of balance with well-integrated new oak towards the finish. I concur with Robert Parker that his has become more structured and masculine in bottle, yet there is pedigree here from start to finish, a sense of effortlessness that is seductive. This is a top-class wine from the late Paul Pontallier and his team. Tasted January 2016.”(96pts)1 magnum per lot $700-1000

The palate is well balanced with pretty strawberry and Morello notes on the entry. There is moderate complexity locked in and it may be conservative in the context of Chambolle, yet there is plenty of freshness on the finish.”(89-91pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400

14264 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2015B. Clair(Wines Located in New York)“A blend of three parcels as usual, the 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Village offers tightly wound, tertiary scents on the nose, something almost autumnal at the moment about this wine. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, quite vibrant red cherry and strawberry fruit with a twist of orange rind on the finish. There is a touch of white pepper lingering on the aftertaste that completes this village cru that I feel has more potential than some of its peers.”(88-90pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400

14279 Volnay - Vintage 2011Les Fremiets, Comte Armand(Wines Located in New York)“This is more refined still with an elegant, fresh and admirably pure nose of red and blue pinot fruit, violets and plum.

14314 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2012West Block(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The 2012 Pinot Noir West Block is the most structured, backward and brooding of these offerings. It possesses tremendous density as well as potential with a very high ceiling in front of it, but it was much more difficult to evaluate. The color is deep, and the wine has a significant sense of weight and richness in the mouth, but the finish is loaded with tannin and extract. Hints of underbrush, wet gravel and black fruits are noticeable, but this wine needs 2-3 years of cellaring. It should easily last more than a decade.”(93-96pts)4 bottles per lot $350-500

14315 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2013River Block1ltl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The 2013 Pinot Noir River Block possesses a stunning inner-core of brilliant black cherries, black raspberries, spring flowers and a touch of earth as well as a medium to full-bodied, layered mouthfeel. Similar to a great grand cru from the Côte de Nuits, this beauty possesses the lushness to be approachable in its youth, but will not hit its stride for another 2-4 years, and should last for 12-15.”(93-95pts)

Lush, opulent and already delicious, this wine should drink well for 5-7 years.”(90-93pts)6 bottles per lot $500-700

14317 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2014Estate(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The 2014 Pinot Noir Estate offers loads of black cherry and strawberry fruit, some underbrush and forest floor notes. It is medium to full-bodied, deep, surprisingly dark in color and quite long. This is outstanding and a real sleeper selection to drink over the next decade or more.”(90pts)6 bottles per lot $200-280

14318 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2014Little Hill(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“Offering flowery and forest floor notes, the 2014 Pinot Noir Little Hill reminds me of a DRC grand cru such as La Tâche or Richebourg. Deep ruby/purple, with sweet black fruit as well as some rocky, wet pebble and loamy soil minerality, this wine, coming from the red soils of Little Hill, is just a beauty, a multi-dimensional tour de force to drink over the next 10-15 years.”(96pts)3 bottles per lot $240-320

14319 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2014Sweetwater Vineyard(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The 2014 Pinot Noir Sweet Water is largely from three clones the Pommard clone, the Rochioli Selection, and the Dijon clone 115. This wine has a deep ruby/purple color, a sweet nose of black raspberries, strawberries and cherries, great fruit on the attack, full body, and an opulent, rich mouthfeel with good acidity, purity, and length. Without a trace of over-ripeness, this concentrated wine should drink well for at least a decade.”(94pts)3 bottles per lot $180-240

14320 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2014Three Corner Vineyard(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“From vines planted in 1974, the 2014 Pinot Noir Three Corner is sensational.

Aromas and flavors of black and red fruits as well as liquid granite emerge in this superb, multi-layered wine of fabulous intensity and length. The finish lasts for nearly a minute.

Dried plum and cooked berry aromas set the style for a rich, voluminous mouthful of jammy and dried fruit concentrate, impressively dense and undeniably long, but lacking the verve and sap of the winery's best Gruner Veltliner and faintly betraying its alcohol.

That impression quickly subsided as the big, mint, eucalyptus, and cassis aromas came to the forefront. The color is still deep, with only slight lightening at the edge. In the mouth, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with excellent concentration and balance.

Already evolved and delicious, the dark ruby/plum color is followed by aromas of new saddle leather, black raspberries, plum liqueur, cherries, and toasty, smoky new oak. Medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannin, an open-knit, fleshy texture, and low acidity, this California “super Tuscan look-alike” can be drunk now and over the next decade.”(90pts)4 bottles per lot $140-180

Full-bodied, creamy and lush on the palate, it finishes with vanilla and cedar notes. It's delicious in an aged, oaky-red sort of way.”(93pts)4 bottles per lot $350-500

It has what you might describe as a “straight-laced” bouquet: very direct and nicely delineated, albeit without the frills and nuances of some of the best Saint Emilion wines this vintage. There is an attractive wilted rose petal aroma that emerges with aeration, but I was seeking more intensity. The palate is better than the aromatics: silky smooth in texture, well-judged acidity, genuine depth and gentle grip in the mouth. There is tangible mineralité here, great focus with a sense of tension and “bite” towards the finish. I was probably being parsimonious with my score in barrel, although that is partly vindicated by the nose that needs to get its act together and match the potential of the palate. Let's see how this develops over the next few years.”(92pts)12 bottles per lot $1000-1400

The wine reveals the classic cassis, mineral, weedy tobacco, spicy nose of a top Pauillac. Full-bodied, concentrated, and close to full maturity, it is a flavorful, expansive, chewy wine.

Although it has been distressingly inconsistent in previous tastings, I am convinced the off bottles had been cooked - undoubtedly by exposure to high temperatures. In this tasting, it was a delicious, outstanding example of the vintage that should continue to drink well for another decade.”(91pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

Full-bodied, powerful, authoritatively rich, and loaded with fruit, this wine's solid lashing of tannin is not likely to melt away for 3-4 more years.

The palate was rich and heavy, fleshy and fresh with wonderful texture and a zippy finish. Its wood blew off into a waterfall of cascading cassis and beef, and its weight stood out in this flight. Coffee and chocolate flavors emerged with air, and the wine really started to sing after some time in the glass.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it offers vibrant red currants, black cherries, wild blueberries, earth and mineral characteristics to begin, with slowly unfurling floral notes of violets and dried roses plus compelling baker's chocolate and fragrant earth layers. Medium to full-bodied, generously fruited and possessing firm yet very, very fine-grained, mind-blowingly ripe tannins, the multifaceted palate features something of a skip in its step in terms of freshness, while it goes beguilingly earthy on the finish with some mineral hints. Very classy, elegant and sophisticated, this vintage is downright regal in its juxtaposition between poise and audaciousness. Think 2005 Palmer with a tick more fruit intensity, perfume and passion.”(98pts)12 bottles per lot $3200-4200

15937 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1986Pauillacts, lbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)“Now at 30 years of age, there is a gulf between the two Pichons in this vintage that no longer exists. The 1986 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has long been one of the best wines from the estate alongside the 1982 (even if the first bottle was a little oxidized). The second bottle was representative. It has a classic pencil-lead, cedar-infused nose that rockets from the glass, a subtle floral note developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, a pinch of white pepper and cedar, structured compared to coeval vintages and perhaps further along its drinking plateau than previous examples. Certainly à point, I would be reaching for bottles of this now if you cannot locate those 1982s, or alternatively seek out the superlative 1996. This still remains a fine, rather regal Pichon-Lalande. Tasted July 2016.”(95pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

Two recent tastings confirmed that this is the greatest Troplong Mondot between their profound 1990 and more recent vintages such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Copious chocolate, graphite, blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and ink characteristics are present in this full-bodied, powerful, massive St.-Emilion. While the tannins are noticeable, they are better integrated than they were seven years ago, and the fruit, extract, and richness clearly outweigh the wine's structure. This 2000 will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring (longer than I originally predicted), and has at least two decades of drinkability ahead of it.”(96pts)7 bottles per lot $800-1000

year, with one-quarter of the grapes picked prior to 15 September. It delivers 134 grams per liter residual sugar and 7.3 grams per liter tartaric acid, with a pH 3.60. It has a captivating bouquet (I know...I know...what else were you expecting) But it entrances with its pure, wild honey notes mixed with almond and white chocolate scents, bestowed with beguiling delineation and focus. The palate is very poised with the acidity nigh on perfect. Occasionally an Yquem only reveals its components parts at this early juncture, necessitates conjecture. However the 2014 has a sense of harmony and completeness already, as if the élevage is merely there to usher it on to its finished state. There is undeniably great depth here, perhaps less conspicuous than other vintages because of that silver thread of acidity: notes of lemon sherbet, orange zest, shaved ginger and again, a few “flakes' of white chocolate. It is extremely long with tenderness rather than power on the finish. It's not quite up there in the rarefied heights of say, the 2001 or 2009, but it is what we call in the trade, “the business.”“(96-98pts)8 bottles per lot $2000-2800

The oldest vines here were planted in the 1920s and 1930s. This had a touch of reduction on the nose, but even so, it did not quite have the same intensity as the Echézeaux, at least at the moment. The palate is actually where it's at: very fine tannin, the new oak a little more vocal here compared to the other grand crus, but there is substantial depth and intoxicating purity toward the slightly candied finish.

I had it early on and found it to be fabulous.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with a serious chassis of tannin which is almost completely evolved in a deep core of succulent fruit, only asserting itself on the finish.

In the mouth its decadence and opulence must be tasted to be believed. This unctuous, wonderfully rich wine makes for splendid drinking at present, but it promises to be even better with bottle age.

least another year or two to settle down. While not as extreme as the 2001, it stands apart for its intensity of color and the sheer volume of its extract. In 2003 the Brunello spent three and a half years in 45 and 50-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks. Abruzzese says the spring rains in the northern part of Montalcino left the wines with enough water reserves to mature without going into hydric stress. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019.”(91pts)2 bottles per lot $140-200

This vintage was somewhat forgotten because of all the hype surrounding 1994, but it has turned out to be a great one for

The style is decidedly opulent and flashy, but all the elements are in the right place. A distinctly floral, spiced finish rounds things out beautifully. Ideally, readers should give the 2010 another few years in bottle to allow some of the baby fat to drop off. This is a gorgeous showing.

4bn, 4sdc, 4ssos (Wines Located in New York)“This extraordinary wine is backward and unevolved, but even neophytes will recognize its potential greatness. The opaque, saturated, dark purple color reveals no sign of age. The huge, smoky, oaky, blackcurrant, herb, and vanillin-scented nose only hints at what will be achieved with further evolution. Sweet, decadently rich, dense, highly extracted flavors are wrapped around a full-bodied, chewy, super-concentrated, moderately tannic wine that, ideally, needs 7-8 more years of cellaring.”(97pts)4 bottles per lot $600-800

17911 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 20072lbsl, 1wisl (Wines Located in New York)“It reveals a liqueur of crushed rocks intermixed with a smorgasbord of spring flower, blueberry, creme de cassis, and assorted blue, black, and red fruit characteristics.

17944 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2013Hillside Selectvlscl (Wines Located in New York)“...will probably hit the magic three-digit score, but it is a more backward style of wine, although probably even more concentrated than the 2012, and that's saying something. Fabulous potential of 30-50 years is evident in this profound bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that is inky blue/black to the rim and offers up notes of charcoal embers, scorched earth, blackberries, cassis, blueberries, a hint of coffee, and background barrique smells. Massively concentrated but incredibly elegant and poised, this is a wine of great energy and

A blend of 93% Syrah, 5% Viognier and 2% Mourvedre (the Syrah and Viognier were cofermented) that spent 25 months in 58% new French oak, it offers extraordinary notes of sweet black fruits, licorice, scorched earth, spring flowers and beautifully integrated oak that only shows as hints of creaminess and vanilla. Weightless, fresh, lively and nicely focused, yet also rockingly full-bodied and layered, with an awesome texture, this is a gorgeous Syrah that's hard to resist now, yet I suspect will continue to knock it out of the park for another decade.”(97pts)6 bottles per lot $1200-1600

These give way to a full-bodied, concentrated, textured Pinot Noir that packs plenty of fruit, while never losing the elegance and purity of the variety.

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

A wine of great intensity, voluptuous, full-bodied texture, tremendous blueberry and blackberry fruit, with white flowers, charcoal embers and spice, the wine has superb texture, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and a finish that goes on for close to 50 seconds.

Flowers of all sorts, sage and rosemary develop in the glass, adding tons of complexity. Today the 2010 is a little reticent next to the decidedly more exuberant 2009, which is quite typical of wines from Pritchard Hill at this stage in the evolution of these vintages. Power, pure vibrancy and intensity are the hallmarks of the 2010. This is another stunning wine from the team at Ovid.”(96-98pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

18400 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2001East Block(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“My favorite 2001 here (as well as the most expensive) is the Pinot Noir East Block. Forest floor, flower, raspberry, and gamy, meaty notes bring to mind a great grand cru Burgundy from Flagey-Échézeaux . Dark plum/ruby-colored, concentrated, and deep, it offers great fruit on the attack, a multilayered mid-section, and a heady, sumptuous finish. This dazzling Pinot will drink well for 7-8 years.”(95pts)4 bottles per lot $420-600

18402 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2001River Block(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The 2001 Pinot Noir River Block (225 cases) reveals a tremendous bouquet of candied cherries mixed with vanilla bean, smoke, and background flint characteristics. A lovely combination of red fruits continues on the palate. Medium-bodied and beautifully put together, with the delicacy and nicely-etched personality of a finely crafted Pinot, it should be consumed over the next 5-6 years.”(92pts)2 bottles per lot $170-240

18403 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2000West Block(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“There are 400 cases of the large-scaled 2000 Pinot Noir West Block Vineyard (from a vineyard planted in 1970). Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by a sweet nose of toasty French oak intermixed with raspberries and cherries, a ripe attack, and full body. This stunningly good wine is more showy and open-knit than its siblings.”(92pts)3 bottles per lot $300-420

18404 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2001West Block(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“Raspberries, cherries, smoke, flint, and subtle wood emerge from the stunning aromatics of the 2001 Pinot Noir West Block Vineyard.

18405 Rochioli Pinot Noir - Vintage 2010West Block(Wines Located in New York)“The 2010 Pinot Noir West Block is a deep, layered wine. Blackberry jam, exotic spices, black cherries, menthol and spices wrap around the palate. The West Block impresses for its sensual personality and long, pure finish. This is a decidedly plush, fruit-driven expression of Pinot. There is less aromatic delineation than in most of the other wines. Ultimately, the West Block will be enjoyed most by readers who enjoy opulent, explosive Pinots. There is no shortage of personality here. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020.”(94pts)2 bottles per lot $200-280

West Block(Wines Located in New York)“The 2011 Pinot Noir West Block is pure structure. A powerful, tannic wine, the 2011 is going to require quite a bit of patience. It has impressive length and persistence, but this is another wine that desperately needs time in bottle. Still, there is a lot to like about the wine's textural elegance and depth. The fruit is so rich, the 80% French oak isn't even notable. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.”(93+pts)2 bottles per lot $200-280

While it's slightly mid-weight through the middle, it has a great texture and fine tannin on the finish.

Elegant, medium to full-bodied, and balanced, with terrific purity of fruit, it gives up terrific notes of creme de cassis, graphite, licorice and toasted spice on the nose. While it doesn't have a massive mid-palate, it has enough tannic bite to benefit from short term cellaring and should have at least a decade of overall longevity.”(91pts)2 bottles per lot $80-110

18412 Saxum Red - Vintage 2009Bone Rock(Wines Located in New York)“The 2009 Bone Rock is a round, enticing red laced with sweet, succulent dark cherries, plums, flowers and spices.

Bone Rock is made from the first blocks planted in the James Berry vineyard and is predominantly Syrah, while the James Berry Vineyard (the wine) is Grenache focused. In 2009 the blend was 57% Syrah, 31% Mourvedre and 12% Grenache. The Syrah component was vinified with 100% stems and saw a maceration lasting 50 days. The wine was aged in 60% new oak. Smith bottled the 2009 in May 2011, earlier than the norm (around 30 months), as he wanted to preserve the freshness he had in the tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021.”(94pts)2 bottles per lot $150-190

On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and powerful but balanced by juicy acids and framed by fine-grained, chalky tannins. While undeniably ripe and authoritative, the overall impression is very classy and harmonious. It's a blend of 35% Zinfandel, 26% Mourvèdre, 19% Tempranillo, 11% Syrah and 9% Petite Sirah that checks in at 16.1% alcohol.”(95pts)1 magnum per lot $180-240

Aged in 300- and 350-liter hogsheads, this seamless, focused and layered barrel sample is brilliant and could come from nowhere else. It should have 15+ years of longevity.

18423 Saxum Syrah - Vintage 2010Heart Stone Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)“More dense and rich, the 2010 Heart Stone Vineyard is a co-fermented blend of 51% Syrah and 49% Grenache that comes from a small 7-acre, south-facing vineyard located on the western side of Paso Robles. Aged mostly in large oak puncheons for 20-28 months, it offers up a savory, complex bouquet of kirsch and blackberry-like fruit, meat juice, Provencal herbs, dried licorice, and dusty minerality. Gorgeous on the palate as well, with a deft, elegant texture, building richness, and layers of chewy tannin, this beauty is reasonably approachable now, yet will be even better in 2-3 years. It will drink well for 12-15 years.”(95pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

Pure, rich, and full-bodied, this youthful effort is the most backward and infantile of all the Pinots. It may also have the finest upside potential, but it needs 2-3 years of cellaring.

facing hillside not far from the village of Sebastopol, the 2014 Chardonnay Genevieve's Block displays a beautiful greenish/light gold color, notes of spice box, honeysuckle, caramelized citrus and wet pebbles, and a medium to full-bodied, somewhat grand cru Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet-like green citrus and apple blossom and honeyed richness.

This is a much more restrained style of Chardonnay, coming from 30-year-old vines on Sonoma Mountain. This wine moves in the direction of poached pear, lemon blossom, a touch of nectarine and quince, wet stones making it Chablis-like.

weight. Bright notes wrap around the pointed finish. This is another dazzling wine from Tom Rochioli. The South River is 100% Hanzell clone. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.”(94pts)3 bottles per lot $220-300

“The opaque purple 2006 Cornerstone Grenache, sourced from a 63-year-old vineyard, was aged in a mix of new and used French oak hogsheads. It offers up an alluring bouquet of mineral, leather, and wild cherry leading to a full-bodied (18.5% alcohol), super-rich wine with no hard edges. Opulent and pleasure-bent, it could be likened to a great vintage of Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf du Pape on steroids. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.”(94pts)2 bottles per lot $110-160

Evolved yet expansive, sweet, and generous, it admirably conceals moderately high tannins under a wealth of fruit and glycerin. The aromatic profile and attack merit a score in the mid-nineties, but the finish is short, thus lowering the overall rating.

A light swirling immediately awakens the aromatics to offer blackberry, Seville orange marmalade, blueberries and dried fig complex and quite compelling. There is real mineralite within this bouquet that, returning after 30 minutes, offers alluring ocean spray scents rolling in off the ocean. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety-smooth opening that belies the fine, structured tannins underneath. It clams up a little towards the finish, shuts the lid tight and consequently there is the sensation of less persistency here compared to the Taylor's or Fonseca. But Croft has a knack of filling out with bottle age and becomes both gentle and generous with the passing years. Tasted May 2013.”(92-95pts)1 bottle per lot $50-65

It comes in with 101 grams per liter of residual sugar. The most aromatic in the vertical, this is laced with eucalyptus and cistus nuances. This is the point in the vertical where the wine really is just too young and too tight to enjoy to its fullest. The fruit is pretty spectacular, though, even as it retains its mid-palate finesse. This and the 2000 may have to duke it out for the title of “Sexiest Port in the Vertical.” But that's not all. It adds firmness to the great fruit and aromatics.”(99pts)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

An equal blend of Semillon and Sauvignon, it delivers a record 220gms residual sugar and yet still exudes astounding minerality and precision, with touches of clear honey, frangipane and cold wet stones. The palate is full-bodied with a mellifluous texture, perfect acidity to slice through that rich botrytized fruit, stunning balance, citrus peel, apricot, Clementine, lemon curd and a hint of ginger.

18923 Volnay - Vintage 2014Les Fremiets, Marquis d'Angerville1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)“The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiets has a glorious nose that has mustered a little more va-va-voom since I tasted it from barrel last year. It lets rip with Morello cherries, fresh strawberry and a pastille-like purity. It is a very winsome bouquet, well defined and gains intensity on the glass. The palate is more conservative than the aromatics. It is well structured, the tannins slightly chalky in texture, the acidity nicely judged with a gentle grip on the finish.

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)4 bottles per lot $350-480

Garrigue, seaweed, olive, game and ripe red and black fruits all flow to a medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant red that has fine tannin and a sunny, graceful personality that's about as gulpable as they come.

None of these numbers, however, even remotely begin to tell you how profound this wine is. The nose opens with electric notes of ripe pineapples, green mango, orange blossoms and lemon tart with hints of fungi, lime zest, crushed rocks and jasmine. The freshness on the palate is just astonishing, permeating and lifting layer upon layer of tropical fruits and earthy notions, all encased in a sumptuous texture and culminating in a very, very long, mineral-tinged finish. Truly, this is a legendary vintage for d'Yquem. I've been conservative with my drinking window here, and I would not be at all surprised if our descendants are drinking this vintage well into the next century.”(100pts)

19025 Château Margaux - Vintage 1982Margaux2bn, 2bsl, 2lwisl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“We transitioned to the remaining four First Growths in the next flight, beginning with a phenomenal bottle of 1982 Margaux (sourced from Château). The Margaux had a pungent nose, and its t n a jumped out at first. It also had cinnamon, iron, rock and gorgeous perfume. It was beyond licorice according to Dan, and Australian John admired its cherry liqueur. The palate was rocky without the horror but with the picture show, not its usual feminine self, Ray observed. Though spiny and long, the Margaux was still stylish with a touch of that Margaux elegance. This was a great bottle of this wine, and it ended up being wine of the flight, outshowing all the other First Growths.”(97pts JK)2 bottles per lot $1300-1700

Enormously concentrated, broad, expansive and massive but not over the top, this is a tour de force in winemaking that is impossible to imagine unless one has a bottle to work through over the course of 4 to 5 hours.”(100pts)1 Jeroboam per lot $1300-2000

The wine still has mammoth structure, tremendous reserves of fruit and concentration, and a finish that lasts close to a minute. The wine is massive, very impressively constituted, with still some mouth-searing tannin to shed. Decanting of one to two hours in advance seems to soften it a bit, but this is a wine that seems to be almost immortal in terms of its longevity. It is a great Medoc classic, and certainly one of the most magnificent Gruaud-Larose ever made. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035. Last tasted, 10/02.”(96pts)6 bottles per lot $1000-1400

19081 Les Forts de Latour - Vintage 1982Pauillacvhs, vlscl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)“Here is an example of why a second wine is well worth buying in a great vintage. Unfortunately, I do not have any of the 1990, and I couldn't find any to purchase, but I bought plenty of the 1982, although I never dreamed it would be drinking so great at age 27. Much lighter around the edge than its bigger sibling, it exhibits an explosive nose of charcoal, black fruits, herbs, and soil undertones. Full-bodied and fleshy with no hard edges (which is exactly the way it performed over the last 10-15 years), it probably should be consumed over the next 4-5 years. However, given the fact that it has aged so beautifully for so long, it may last even longer. Release price: ($140.00/case)”(94pts)1 bottle per lot $240-320

(Wines Located in New York)“If you have given up on the 1989 vintage for California Cabernet, think again. Beringer's 1989 Private Reserve is one of the stars of the vintage. This dark-colored wine is loaded with rich, chocolatey, blackcurrant fruit, with spicy, toasty oak, and the tannin is not out of balance. This long, rich, full-bodied, impressively-endowed Cabernet Sauvignon will will keep for 15 more years.”(90pts)10 bottles per lot $550-750

The opaque dark ruby/purple color suggests considerable intensity, low yields, and great richness. A huge, soaring bouquet offers aromas of cassis, black-cherries, subtle herbs, vanillin, and spices. This full-bodied, voluptuously-textured, super-concentrated, multi-dimensional wine is more flattering and opulent that previous Dominus vintages, which tended to be tannic as well as rich. Although approachable and already complex (I have already consumed three bottles), the magnificent 1990 Dominus should evolve gracefully for 20-30 years. The 1990 is the finest wine Christian Moueix and his partners, Robin Lail and Marci Smith, have produced, although the 1991, which will be released in a year, may even eclipse the 1990!”(98pts)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

The palate is beautifully proportioned with that thread of acidity interwoven through the botrytized fruit. This is a Sauternes with volume and dimension and yet I am seeking more persistency on the finish, because it feels like the job is done too early. This is a good wine that dare I say, could have been even better with more ambition.”(93pts)1 bottle per lot $50-65

The 2005 Château Suduiraut seemed a little out of sorts at first, although it comes together with honey, barley sugar, orange blossom and mineral scents that become more delineated as its aerates. The palate is very intense on the entry. There is a beautiful line of acidity that cuts through the viscous fruit, though the finish does not quite exude the precision of a top vintage, but still delivers that sense of class one expects from this

address.”(93pts)6 bottles per lot $220-300

19291 Château Suduiraut - Vintage 2010Sauternes4vlscl (Wines Located in New York)“Along with Château Rieussec, the Suduiraut 2010 is a candidate for best Sauternes of the vintage. It has a wonderful bouquet with an instantaneous sense of completeness and harmony, with layers of botrytized fruit intermingling with apricot blossom, peach skin and marmalade. This is powerful, but not in your face. There is no need to be. The palate is well-balanced with a viscous opening. There is plenty of botrytis here, good acidity and enormous weight on the finish. Perhaps it needs a little more tension, but otherwise this is a very impressive wine for the Sauternes vintage.”(96pts)9 bottles per lot $500-650

Milbrandt Vineyard3vlwisl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)“The 2010 Syrah Milbrandt Vineyard was fermented with 50% whole cluster and aged for 12 months in around 25% new French oak. Coming from the Northridge and Sundance Vineyards, it offers a pretty, perfumed bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, underbrush, flowers and hints of pepper to go with a medium to full-bodied, Up-front and elegant palate. Lively, delicious and easy drinking, it should be enjoyed over the coming 5-7 years. Drink now-2018.”(91pts)4 bottles per lot $80-100

19364 K Vintners Syrah - Vintage 2009Morrison Lane(Wines Located in New York)“From a cobbled block of mature vines south of Walla Walla and very near the site of Smith's new estate plantings, his 2009 Syrah Morrison Lane opens dramatically with pungent scents of wood smoke, resin, tar, soy, huckleberry and cassis, whose counterparts reconvene on a sappy, expansive, finely tannic palate leading to a piquant, gripping finish so forceful and energetic it leaves my tongue aquiver. The sort of pedal-to-the-(heavy) metal wine for which Smith is known (or notorious), this is, nonetheless, completely convincing in its complexity and cling. Look for at least the better part of a decade's interesting evolution (though possibly the fact that the tannins were even more noticeable overnight should serve as some sort of cautionary signal).”(94pts)9 bottles per lot $260-350

19367 K Vintners Syrah - Vintage 2010The Beautiful1vlwisl (Wines Located in New York)“A co-fermented blend (as are all of Charles' wines as he doesn't believe in keeping varieties separate during aging) of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier, the 2010 Syrah The Beautiful got a big “Wow!” in my notes. Floral, perfumed and elegant, with copious raspberry, white pepper and spice nuances, it flows onto the palate with a seamless, ethereal texture, silky tannin and no hard edges. Already approachable and a total thrill to drink, it should continue to impress for over a decade. Drink now-2023.”(95pts)4 bottles per lot $160-220

19369 K Vintners Syrah - Vintage 2009The Deal, Sundance Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)“From the unusual white-on-black sands of this Wahluke Slope site and a parcel higher in elevation and cropped lower than that which informed the corresponding “Milbrandt” bottling, K Vintners' 2009 Syrah The Deal Sundance Vineyard leads, as have so many in the same collection, with salt, alkali, and kelp that invoke the seaside. Licorice; dried and fresh cherry; peat; soy; and a toasty, faintly caramelized aura from barrel combine for a strikingly savory persona possessed of hidden sweetness. (There's a Japanese fellow in Louisville who matures his artisanal soy sauce in bourbon barrels, and this Syrah has a similar

appeal.) The sappy, resinous, finishing cling of this dense libation is utterly tenacious, but only thanks to its smoky, saline, stony aspects does it manage to achieve such intrigue and mouthwatering savor, and only thanks to a stream of fresh cherry juiciness does it remain lively and encouraging of the next sip. (While this received 18 months elevage, Smith promises me that the 2010 will receive two full years.)”(92pts)5 bottles per lot $120-160

Grapefruit, white peach and acacia in the nose persist on a palate luscious and subtly oily yet as brightly citric as virtually any wine from this grape that I can recall for an effect as if it had been blended with Riesling. Cress, grapefruit peel, crushed stone and salt enhance the invigoration and saliva-inducement of a long and refreshing, if faintly bitter, finish. This won't only be a delight to drink over the next couple of years, I suspect it will be worth following for longer than that too, and may well achieve a seductive patina. (The next day, it was peachier and more expansive but less refined or interactive.)”(90pts)9 bottles per lot $90-110

Purple/black in color, it has a splendid bouquet of cigar box, Asian spices, lavender, black cherry, and plum. Full-bodied, dense, rich, and powerful, this loaded effort has gobs of flavor, succulence, and great length. Only hedonists need apply. Drink it over the next six years while it retains its fleshy character.”(92pts)17 bottles per lot $170-220

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.

It is sure to be controversial among those tasters looking for only new oak and fruit aromas.

The 1966 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a vital and fresh strawberry bouquet, a touch of iron filings and chestnut, firmly into its secondary stage and yet brimming over with vigor. The palate is medium-bodied, lithe and supple in the mouth with beautiful balance. Like so many 1966s, this Grand Cru has aged with style and panache, just a touch of volatile acidity towards the finish but never losing its finesse and grace. It gently fans out towards the convincing finish that leaves you desperate for another sip of this nectar. Superb. Tasted November 2016.”(95pts)4 bottles per lot $800-1100

The palate continues with a very feminine, lithe texture that is extremely pure and it is blessed with a beautiful confit-like finish.

Because it sometimes lacks a little structure, he lent it backbone with between 5% and 10% stems. It has a fragrant, unassuming bouquet with dark plum and raspberry scents. The palate is feminine, tender and

The palate is very well-balanced with sorbet-like red berry fruit on the entry. There is good tension here, a citric line of acidity with a harmonious, tart finish that pings around the mouth. This is like a yapping young terrier, almost too delicious to cellar! Drink now-2020.”(92pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500

I felt that the aromatics were a little diffuse when I tasted the wine, perhaps requiring the remainder of its barrel maturation to knit together. The palate is much better with crisp tannin, quite sharp dark cherry and raspberry fruit leading to a nicely focused, quite penetrating finish. There is good vigor here - it just needs the aromatics to up their game, which I am sure they will.”(89-91pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

It has a more understated bouquet compared to Virgile's other 13s from the appellation, but don't be fooled: this has superb delineation and focus, real mineralité underneath those broody black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin an overarching structure here with a dash of black pepper judiciously sprinkled over the dense, fresh and vibrant finish.

While it is Bordeaux's most concentrated effort, readers should not think it is an overly extracted aberration that is all muscle, flesh, extract, and new wood. This wine possesses elegance, complexity, and, with time, a distinctive terroir character will emerge. The saturated black/blue/purple-colored 1999 exhibits unreal levels of concentration, high tannin, astonishing flavor extraction, and uncanny balance and precision for a wine of such proportions.

Like all of the wines from this estate, this red promises an above average level of complexity and sophistication. The mouthfeel is polished, lean and long in persistency.

The clonal material varies according to the source.

About 30% whole clusters were used in making this wine, which has a vague similarity to one of Guigal's single vineyard Côte-Rôties such as La Landonne. Powerful, rich, and dense, the opaque purple color and a beautiful nose of spring flowers, asphalt, charcoal, blackberry and cassis are all present in this full-bodied, structured wine, which has grip, loads of tannin, and a huge upside.

It is not overripe, not Amarone-like, or showing any heat. This wine has plenty of blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, licorice, and roasted herbs that are reminiscent of Mediterranean-styled wine, with a full-bodied mouthfeel and a heady, lush finish. This is impressive, but clearly one of the bigger-boned, larger-scaled Zinfandels in the 2014 portfolio. Drink it over the next decade.”(93pts)7 bottles per lot $200-280

Crisp pear notes along with citrus blossom and wet rocks are followed by a medium to full-bodied, singular style with notes of white currants and apple skin. This is a medium to full-bodied, fresh, concentrated, locked-and-loaded style of wine. The terrific acidity and modest alcohol (for a Chardonnay these days) give it wonderful uplift and vibrancy.

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.

Offering up notes of graphite, cassis, chocolate, crushed flowers and tobacco, it's a sexy, voluptuous example of this cuvée that has sensational concentration, sweet tannin and a blockbuster finish. Much more closed and backward on release, it's just now starting to open up. It will benefit from another year or so in bottle and drink beautifully through at least 2027.”(96pts)2 bottles per lot $100-140

By the standards of Pegau, it is not a massive wine nor will it be terribly long-lived. However, this estate has an incredible track record in off years, so I would not be surprised to see this wine exceeding readers' expectations in 10-12 years. Tasting through the three remaining lots that will be blended together, I rated them between 89 and 92. That makes it one of the better wines of the vintage. Medium to full-bodied, chewy and very evolved, the wine exhibits lots of earth, lavender and foresty/mossy notes intermixed with kirsch, peppery black currants and Christmas fruitcake spices. It should drink nicely for 10-12+ years. Laurence calls it a very “traditional” style that she believes will be as good as their 2006.”(89-91pts)6 bottles per lot $240-320

Full-bodied but wonderfully silky with age, it shows developing aromas and flavors of tree bark, cola, dried spices, red cherries and white button mushrooms. While I wouldn't expect it to last forever, it should provide delicious drinking over the next 5 years or so.

This epitomizes not only vintage virtues, but also the new, lighter, and more vivacious yet still unctuous style that Loosen and his cellarmaster Bernard Schug have adopted for what is arguably their estate's signature vineyard.

Velvety, lush and full in the mouth, but rather closed following the bottling; the wine sweetness is currently restrained. Conveys a sense of brooding power. The silky, fine tannins hit the palate very late. A superb vintage for this wine.”(93+?pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $110-150

Altesino's 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva presents high-toned aromatics along with suggestions of flowers, spices and ripe red fruit in a style that is understated and focused while holding plenty of power in reserve.

20645 Dominus - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)“This blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot (note that rarely is any Merlot utilized at the historic Napanook Estate in Yountville). The alcohol, by California standards, is a relatively modest 14.1%. Blending the best of French savoir faire with the brilliant fruit purity and ripeness of Napa Valley, Moueix has turned in another tour de force that seems far superior today than it did when it was first released. This is one of the vintage's greatest wines. Dense purple and youthful, with a glorious nose of earth, blackcurrants, sweet black cherries and incense, the oak is pushed way in the background, as it is in all of the Moueix wines, and the result is a wine of terroir, of great originality and authenticity. This full-bodied classic from Dominus can be drunk now, but really won't hit its prime for another 4-5 years and last at least another two decades or more.”(98pts)2 bottles per lot $350-480

Its gorgeous nose reveals aromas of creme de cassis, blueberries, raspberries, vanillin and notions of cedarwood as well as incense. Deep and full-bodied with fabulous purity, a hallmark of all these wines, this spectacular 2010 has plenty of structure, but the fruit intensity and richness largely obscure the wine's tannic profile.

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 $140-170

Rostaing says he has never seen such exceptional physiological ripeness with such high natural acidity. As a consequence, most of his wines finished with very low PH's of 3.48-3.5. The dense purple-colored 1995 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde boasts an awesome, mind-boggling nose of violets, cassis, blueberries, and vanillin.

20830 Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1992vlscl (Wines Located in New York)“Dalla Valle's 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a worthy successor to the blockbuster 1990 and 1991. Huge, sweet aromas of black fruits, spices, and oak are followed by a wine with great fruit extraction, full body, layers of richness, and that multidimensional, layered feel that this producer routinely obtains. The flattering personality of the 1992 has resulted in a more unctuous and voluptuous wine than even the 1991 or 1990. Moreover, it will have 15+ years of aging potential.”(95pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

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. To have his life's work dissected in his presence, vintage by vintage, is a testimony to Baumard's courage, honesty and pride. How many of us would want to have all our work judged in such a manner? Baumard, ever modest, was his own biggest critic. Space constraints prevent me from including notes on the wines so I have only listed the best ones.”(91pts)

The opaque purple color is followed by aromatics that are more closed than most 1991s. In the mouth, it is a wine of extraordinary richness and brilliantly delineated components. This exceptionally rich, backward port possesses layer upon layer of fruit, a thick, chewy, unctuous texture, firm structure and tannin, and a finish that lasts for more than a minute. It is an exquisite port that will age for

25-30 years.”(95pts)6 bottles per lot $240-350

Concentrated but not as structured as other offerings, this wine requires relatively early drinking, say between now-2003. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.

Ripely-fruited and creamily-textured on the palate, this achieves an invigorating grip in its finish thanks to fruit skin, citrus zest, chalk dust, brown spices, and pepper. This outstanding union of richness with energy and refreshment should be worth following for 6-8 years.”(93pts)5 bottles per lot $400-550

What I would give today to be able to buy more at the same tariff! The 1990 Barolo Riserva Falletto is one of Bruno Giacosa's most towering wines. Period. Rich, layered and opulent, this mineral-driven, powerful Barolo covers every inch of the palate with masses of dark fruit, smoke, soy, plums, menthol, dried roses, pine and a host of other balsamic overtones. This vivid, kaleidoscopic Barolo is a reference-point wine readers won't want to miss. As always, the Riserva Falletto is virile and authoritative in tone. Simply put, it its profound.

It possesses extraordinary concentration and unctuosity, with a thick, fat texture oozing notes of cedar wood, tobacco, coffee, and over-ripe fruit.

Supple and sweet in the mouth, offering a lush texture to its flavors of smoky spiced meats but not quite the aromatic complexity of expansiveness of the 1970.

The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, very good tension and a welcome dash of spice toward the finish that conveys genuine substance and class. The aftertaste is incredibly long the mouth tingling with residual spiciness long after the wine has departed. This is stunning and, dare I suggest, equal to Rousseau's Chambertin and Clos de Bèze.

21422 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 2006Les Combettes, J. Prieur2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“From relatively young vines, the Prieur 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes offers a site-typical combination of adamantly chalky, stoniness; bright citricity; and a flatteringly polished mouth-feel. Voluminous and palpably extract-rich, this handles its 60% new wood and 14.5% alcohol with aplomb, clinging with just a faint hint of heat. This wine with its uncanny balance between the sensually lavish and austerely mineral sides of Puligny should be worth cellaring for 4-6 years, longer if its alcohol remains well-buffered. The 2005 is equally raw in intensity, but surprisingly shows its wood and similarly high alcohol a bit more.”(90-91pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

21423 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 2007Les Combettes, J. Prieur2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“Both intensely, brightly citric and at the same time overlain with lanolin and vanilla from barrel, the Prieur 2007 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes backs up this somewhat bifurcated initial impression with luscious peach and pineapple that mingle with chalk, salt, and smoke in a sustained finish. Typical for its vintage at this estate, this is flatteringly creamy in texture even as it is full of refreshment. It should be worth following for at least 5-7 years during which it will be interesting to taste for enhanced complexity.”(91pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

It has a very vivacious bouquet with citrus peel and lemon thyme the most effervescent aromatics displayed by Prieur's 2012 so far. The palate is well balanced with a vibrant opening. The acidity is well judged and there are plenty of shimmering apricot and white peach notes lining up on the tense finish. Excellent.”(90-92pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

21474 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1989Château de Beaucastel2vhs, 1hs, 1lstl, 2sos, 1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“Perhaps the greatest Beaucastel ever produced. Has the class and structure of a great vintage of Mouton-Rothschild. Deep, inky in color, with intense herb, plum, game and spice aromas, this full-bodied wine has an explosion of fruit and an iron backbone.”(97pts WS)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

21475 Barolo - Vintage 1990Bric del Fiasc, P. Scavino4bn (Wines Located in New York)“The 1990 vintage may have given Scavino a little more to work with as his 1990 Barolo Bric del Fiasc (3-liter) is utterly profound. Rich, dark and sensual, the wine flows onto the palate with marvelous concentration and depth. Layers of menthol, spices, sweet roses and dark fruit swirl around in the glass as this magnificent, regal Barolo struts its stuff. A veritable fountain of youth, this towering Barolo promises to drink spectacularly well for another two decades. From a standard bottle the 1990 is approachable, but readers lucky enough to own large formats will want to find a way to wait a few more years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030.”(97pts)4 bottles per lot $600-800

21476 Barolo - Vintage 1990Bussia, Parusso(Wines Located in New York)“The 1990 Barolo Bussia appears amazingly youthful both in terms of its color and the freshness of its aromas. It was fermented in temperature-controlled cements vats and this winemaking choice has undoubtedly helped secure variety integrity. Although you do detect budding tertiary aromas, this is among the best-preserved wines I tasted from 1990. Dark cherry and blackberry are followed by candied apricot, licorice, red rose petal and dried tobacco left. I was especially impressed by the overall austerity and the silkiness of the mouthfeel. This bottle should be decanted 12 hours or more before consumption. Drink: 2014-2028.”(95pts)4 bottles per lot $400-600

21477 Opus One - Vintage 19873vhs, 5bsl, 5sdc, 5cc, 5sos, 1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“Extra facets and dimensions abound in this deeplycomplex and flavorful wine. Impressive for its focus and finesse, though there's an underlyingfirmness and authority in the core of chewycurrant, herb and anise flavors. Delicious.”(96pts WS)5 bottles per lot $1200-1600

21478 Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1987

sdc, cc (Wines Located in New York)“This extraordinary wine is backward and unevolved, but even neophytes will recognize its potential

greatness. The opaque, saturated, dark purple color reveals no sign of age. The huge, smoky, oaky, blackcurrant, herb, and vanillin-scented nose only hints at what will be achieved with further evolution. Sweet, decadently rich, dense, highly extracted flavors are wrapped around a full-bodied, chewy, super-concentrated, moderately tannic wine that, ideally, needs 7-8 more years of cellaring.”(97pts)1 bottle per lot $140-200

21480 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1985Pauillac1vhs, 2hs, 2scc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The rich, complex, well-developed bouquet of oriental spices, toasty oak, herbs, and ripe fruit is wonderful.

21481 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1995Pauillac(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“It is an exquisite example of Pichon-Lalande with the Merlot component giving the wine a coffee/chocolatey/cherry component to go along with the Cabernet Sauvignon's and Cabernet Franc's complex blackberry/cassis fruit. The wine possesses an opaque black/ruby/purple color, and sexy, flamboyant aromatics of pain grille, black fruits, and cedar.

21483 Chambolle Musigny - Vintage 2004Les Amoureuses, Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“A beautifully expressive and moderately high-pitched and very spicy nose of red and black pinot fruit with violet and floral notes introduces textured, sweet and pure medium full flavors that also display an almost pungent minerality and striking precision laser-like focus and the finish is almost crystalline in its purity.”(90-93pts BH)

Latakia tobacco; peat; rushed stone; roasted red meats; soy; and ripe, fresh blackberry inform the nose and absolutely stain the palate. The tannins here are as ultra-fine as they are formidable, and the tug on my salivary glands as relentless as are the finishing flavors. If this doesn't leave you reaching for a napkin or your lips fluttering, probably no wine will.

21506 Château Margaux - Vintage 1979Margauxts, gsl, scc, outstanding color (Wines Located in New York)“This wine is just now reaching full maturity, much later than I initially expected. It is a classy, elegant example of Margauxpossessing a dark ruby/purple color, and a moderately intense nose of sweet black currant fruit intermixed with minerals, vanillin, and floral scents. The wine is medium-bodied, with beautifully sweet fruit. This linear, more compressed style of Margaux possesses a good inner-core of sweet fruit, and a charming, harmonious personality. Although not a blockbuster, it is aging effortlessly, and appears to take on more character with each passing year. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 12/96”(93pts)1 magnum per lot $600-800

21507 Château Margaux - Vintage 1982Margauxvhs, nl, scc, tc (Wines Located in New York)“We transitioned to the remaining four First Growths in the next flight, beginning with a phenomenal bottle of 1982 Margaux (sourced from Château). The Margaux had a pungent nose, and its t n a jumped out at first. It also had cinnamon, iron, rock and gorgeous perfume. It was beyond licorice according to Dan, and Australian John admired its cherry liqueur. The palate was rocky without the horror but with the picture show, not its usual feminine self, Ray observed. Though spiny and long, the Margaux was still stylish with a touch of that Margaux elegance. This was a great bottle of this wine, and it ended up being wine of the flight, outshowing all the other First Growths.”(97pts JK)1 bottle per lot $600-850

21509 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 1990Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)“The 1990 Pichon-Longueville Baron has always been one of my benchmark wines, one that never ceases to perform. Now at 27 years of age, it is clearly at its peak, and what a wondrous thing it is. Now showing some bricking on the rim, the bouquet is utterly sublime, with red berries, cedar, touches of graphite, crushed rose petals and incense. You just want to become enveloped by these aromas. The palate is perfectly balanced, perhaps not as structured as it once showed since the tannins have mellowed, but what you get is a Pauillac relishing its secondary phase, which is almost Burgundy-like in terms of mouthfeel. Suffused with tension, it gains weight in the mouth toward the slightly tart finish. It is a Pichon Baron that only knows how to give sophisticated drinking pleasure. I once wrote that Pichon Baron is better than many 1990 First Growth, and that is a statement I have no reason to change. Tasted April 2017.”(98pts)1 bottle per lot $240-320

21510 La Dame de Montrose - Vintage 1990St. Estephe(Wines Located in New York)“Given the monumental proportions of the 1990 Montrose, it is not surprising that the property's “second” wine is also outstanding. When I tasted this gem, I jokingly asked the proprietors, the Charmolue family, if their selection process had not been too severe! This densely colored (dark plum and purple) wine is not as forbiddingly backward as its bigger sibling, as the nose offers scents of earth, cassis, licorice, and spices. Full-bodied, super-rich, but less tannic than the 1990 Montrose, La Dame ranks with the 1982 Forts de Latour and 1989 Bahans-Haut-Brion as one of the best second wines I have tasted. Anticipated maturity: 1995-2005.”(90pts)9 bottles per lot $900-1200

On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still very young (this too was late finishing up its malo and shows still a touch of gas on the backend), with a very soil-driven personality, ripe tannins and excellent length and grip

on the youthful and very promising finish.”(95pts JG)2 bottles per lot $500-700

“The wild man of Napa Valley, Jayson Woodbridge, has turned out one of the superstars of 2004, with the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan. His wines always tend to be gorgeous young, offering up an impression that they're not going to last. But his first vintage, 2000, seems to get better and better, even though it was spectacular when released. The 2004, which was harvested in September, shows an almost Pomerol-like sweet mocha, kirsch, black currant and deeply fruited mouthfeel. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, but the clay soils of his vineyard seem to give a sweetness of tannin and a voluptuous character to the texture. This wine oozes rich, concentrated fruit, is light on its feet and has gorgeous purity, a multidimensional mouthfeel and a stunning finish. Silky black currant, kirsch, licorice, mocha and caramelized fruit make for a stunningly full-throttle, brilliant 2004 to enjoy over the next 15 or more years.”(98pts)1 magnum per lot $450-600

21583 Kongsgaard Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2013(Wines Located in New York)“...is sensational. This looks to be great stuff, but needs another 3-4 years of cellaring to show its full potential. Layers of ripe blackcurrant fruit and again some dusty, earthy minerality are present, and the wine shows plenty of blackberry and cassis.”(94+pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

21584 Peter Michael Red - Vintage 2012Les Pavots(Wines Located in New York)

21587 Château Canon La Gaffeliere - Vintage 2000St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)“This is a triumphant 2000, flamboyant, super-concentrated, yet classic in proportions. Lavish notes of roasted espresso, melted chocolate, creme de cassis, toasty new oak, and Asian spices jump from the glass of this sensationally perfumed, rather ostentatious 2000. It is enormously concentrated and pure, with low acidity and exquisite balance. Remarkably, in spite of its large size, viscosity, and opulence, it is fresh and delineated. Potentially the finest Canon-la-Gaffeliere made to date...”(95pts)6 bottles per lot $450-600

21588 Château du Tertre - Vintage 2000Margaux1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“A dense purple color is followed by layers of concentrated blackberry fruit intertwined with damp earth, mushroom, and sweet, toasty barrique smells. With ripe tannin, medium to full body, a layered texture, and a concentrated, impressively endowed finish, this is the finest Du Tertre since their 1979. This is a property on the move ... up!”(91pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

21589 Château La Fleur de Gay - Vintage 1989Pomerol3lwrl (Wines Located in New York)“Given the limited production of less than 1,500 cases per year, this is one of the most difficult Pomerols to obtain. The 1989 performed up to my high expectations. The wine remains backward and unformed, especially for a 1989, but it reveals a nearly opaque purple color, and a sweet, pure nose of black-raspberries, cassis, licorice, violets, and minerals nicely dosed with high

quality new oak. There is great fruit on the palate, layers of richness, medium to full body, and fabulous harmony and precision. Given its superb intensity and elegant personality, it is a dazzling example of winemaking. The wine's finish goes on for at least 35-40 seconds. Unlike many 1989 Pomerols, this wine requires 2-3 more years of cellaring; it should keep through the first 15+ years of the next century.”(95pts)3 bottles per lot $380-500

21590 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 2000St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)“The plushest, most ostentatious and dramatic of all the Leovilles in 2000, this wine is already sumptuous, displaying some nuances in its huge nose of vanilla bean, black chocolate, jammy black cherries, cassis, and graphite in a flamboyant style. Opulent, savory, rich, and full-bodied, it is a head-turning, prodigious wine and a complete contrast to the extracted behemoth of Leoville Barton and the backward, classic Leoville Las Cases. The Poyferre's low acidity, sweet tannin and an already gorgeous mouthfeel make it a wine to drink now as well as over the next 25 or more years.”(97pts)3 bottles per lot $450-600

21591 Château Monbousquet - Vintage 2000St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)“Its saturated black/purple color is accompanied by extraordinary aromatics of sweet blackberries, chocolate, coffee, incense, new saddle leather, and vanilla.

21592 Château Pavie Macquin - Vintage 2005St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)“A black/purple color is accompanied by aromas of charcoal, burning embers, crushed rocks, sweet, pure, blueberries and blackberries, chocolaty creme de cassis, and licorice. It possesses massive concentration, phenomenal levels of tannin, and good acidity, but it is even more backward than either Pavie or Pavie Decesse. A modern day elixir that should prove to be monumental in 15-20 years, it will last for 40+ years.”(98pts)6 bottles per lot $600-800

21593 Château Coutet - Vintage 1988Sauternes4bn, 3ts, 1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“Extraordinary complexity and finesse are the hallmarks of this earth-scented, butter-laced, honeyed, lemon-flavored gem.

21597 Château Rieussec - Vintage 1986Sauternes24scc, 1x24 half bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“Tasted at Lafite-Rothschild, the 1986 Rieussec put in a supremely confident performance and in fact, looked more youthful than the 1996. It has a focused and energetic bouquet with scents of dried honey, lychee and slightly resinous, almost Azsu-like aromas. After three decades you have to admire the undimmed energy conveyed by this Rieussec. The palate is fresh and lively, with crisp acidity, very energetic with hints of toffee apple and quince infusing the honeyed fruit. I prefer this to the 1996: there is more animation and tension from start to finish, impressive length and a spicy aftertaste. This is simply superb and begs the question: Is this actually improving in bottle? I attach a plus-sign to my score just in case! Tasted July 2016.”(93+pts)24 half-bottles per lot $700-900

21598 Château Rieussec - Vintage 1988Sauternes1x24 hafl bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“Tasted in Sauternes with Charles Chevalier, the 1988 Rieussec is a vintage that Chevalier himself claimed to be his favorite. I can understand why. It has an unerringly youthful bouquet with vibrant citrus fruit, wild honey, mandarin and mineral scents, a bouquet that seems to have electricity flowing through it. The same can be said for the palate that is full of tension and vigor, almost clinical in terms of focus with alluring viscosity and wonderful length. This bowled me over

Rich, concentrated and detailed with such incredible power that the finish literally lasts for minutes on end. This is a wine that forces one to drink it slowly as it is so intense that the palate demands time to recover.

21609 Hermitage - Vintage 1990La cuvée des Miaux, Ferraton(Wines Located in New York)“From what is unquestionably the greatest Hermitage vintage since 1961, this wine is black in color, with a huge, developing bouquet of jammy cassis, mineral, spicy, floral, and licorice scents. Massively endowed, with frightfully high levels of glycerin, extract, and tannin, this is an old-style, super concentrated, beautifully pure, well-delineated Hermitage.

21611 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1990Barbe Rac, M. Chapoutier1nl, 1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“...one of the most awesome red wines I have ever tasted. The opaque dark ruby/purple color is followed by a nose that is at first reticent and backward. With airing, powerful aromas of black-raspberries, chocolate, roasted nuts, herbs, and earth eventually emerge.

Monier de la Sizeranne, M. Chapoutier3lbsl, 1nl, 1wisl (Wines Located in New York)“...was aged in 40% new oak casks and was produced from yields that did not exceed 30 hectoliters per hectare. It is an organically made, unfined, unfiltered wine that is drinking surprisingly well. The dark ruby/purple color exhibits no signs of age. The bouquet leaps from the glass, offering up aromas of cassis, minerals, smoky oak, and herbs. In the mouth, this rich, powerful, concentrated, superripe wine offers succulence and delineation. The tannins are noticeable, but ripe and unobtrusive.”(90pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

21613 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1989Clos des Papes, P. Avril3lwrl (Wines Located in New York)“Showing the hot, burly nature of the vintage nicely, the 1989 Châteauneuf du Pape has ample ground herbs, tobacco leaf, olive tapenade and assorted mature Grenache fruit characteristics to go with a full-bodied, still tannic, firm, and muscular feel on the palate. It has plenty of similarities to the '95, and Paul-Vincent commented that both vintages were almost impossible to drink in their youth. I've recently had an over-the-hill bottle of the '90, but well-stored bottles of this meaty, classic and powerful '89 will have another decade of longevity.”(95pts)3 bottles per lot $300-420

In fact, it is the freshness, zesty acidity, and sheer definition and focus of these massive wines that make them such remarkable achievements. Given the sheer power and nectar-like qualities of the 1990 late-harvest wines of Alsace, readers will be amazed by their riveting aromatic and flavor intensity. They are massive yet

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 $200-280

Rich, dark and sensual, the wine flows onto the palate with marvelous concentration and depth. Layers of menthol, spices, sweet roses and dark fruit swirl around in the glass as this magnificent, regal Barolo struts its stuff. A veritable fountain of youth, this towering Barolo promises to drink spectacularly well for another two decades.

It was fermented in temperature-controlled cements vats and this winemaking choice has undoubtedly helped secure variety integrity. Although you do detect budding tertiary aromas, this is among the best-preserved wines I tasted from 1990. Dark cherry and blackberry are followed by candied apricot, licorice, red rose petal and dried tobacco left. I was especially impressed by the overall austerity and the silkiness of the mouthfeel. This bottle should be decanted 12 hours or more before consumption. Drink: 2014-2028.”(95pts)4 bottles per lot $300-400

The blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc produced a rich Dominus, with superb color and a huge, blossoming nose of black cherries, spicy oak, herbs, and cedar scents.

21653 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 19863bn, 7bsl (Wines Located in New York)“This still young, promising wine exhibits admirable extraction and richness. The dark plum color with no lightening or amber is followed by a wine displaying copious quantities of high class French oak, and gobs of black fruit, full body, and layers of ripe fruit buttressed by adequate acidity, and firm, but unobtrusive tannin. An intriguing licorice and cassis character unfolds as the wine sits in the glass. The finish is long, pure, and impressive.”(90pts)8 bottles per lot $600-800

The wine is powerful for a 1995, with an opaque purple color, and intensely ripe black currant aromas intermingled with smoke, pain grille, licorice, and chocolate.

21673 Fonseca Vintage Port - Vintage 19831x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“Fonseca is one of the great port lodges, producing the most exotic and most complex port. If Fonseca lacks the sheer weight and power of a Taylor, Dow or Warre, or the opulent sweetness and intensity of a Graham, it excels in its magnificently complex, intense bouquet of plummy, cedary, spicy fruit and long, broad, expansive flavors. With its lush, seductive character, one might call it the Pomerol of Vintage ports. When it is young, it often loses out in blind tastings to the heavier, weightier, more tannic wines, but I always find myself upgrading my opinion of Fonseca after it has had 7-10 years of age. The 1983 is magnificently scented, full-bodied, creamy, rather forward, but showing great length and character.”(92pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

21730 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2002

(Wines Located in New York)“Put them all together and you have the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve, a sensational 14,000-case cuvée that is one of the benchmarks for what Napa Valley is capable of achieving. Its dense purple color is followed by copious notes of smoky barbecue, creme de cassis, white chocolate, blackberries, charcoal and truffles. Full-bodied, fleshy and succulent, with sweet tannins in the finish, this 2002 has not yet hit full maturity. Give it another 2-4 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following two decades. I asked the winemaking team what the final blend was for the 2002 Private Reserve, and to the best of their recollection, the largest component was from Steinhauer Ranch (50%), followed by St. Helena Home Ranch (23%) and tiny percentages of Bancroft, Rancho del Oso, Chabot, Marston, and some Cabernet Franc from Howell Mountain.”(95pts)4 bottles per lot $300-400

21732 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005

(Wines Located in New York)“This blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc is a gorgeous example of the Private Reserve. Of course, it probably suffers from the fact that Beringer is part of a gigantic international conglomerate, but this is just a stunning wine inky purple, with plenty of cassis, a hint of espresso, subtle background oak and forest notes. The color is opaque and the wine full-bodied and opulent, with sweet tannin and a multilayered mouthfeel. It has silky tannins, good freshness and uplifting acid, which should ensure a considerable longevity of 15-20 additional years. This is a stunner. “(95+pts)4 bottles per lot $240-320

successful effort.”(93pts JK)4 bottles per lot $400-600

21735 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Special Selection(Wines Located in New York)“Caymus has been around for so long there is a tendency to under-estimate their wines. However, they have a brilliant track record as evidenced by the decade old 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Selection. Abundant chocolaty, black currant, licorice and coffee aromas soar from the glass of this perfumed wine. It exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, wonderful opulence, a deep, full-bodied mouthfeel, fabulous depth and not a hard edge to be found.

21745 Heitz Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Martha's Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)“This was a spectacular performance from this hallowed vineyard as well as one of Napa Valley's great historiCôterroirs. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it reveals a still youthful personality and will benefit from another 5-7 years of bottle age. An opaque purple color is followed by aromas of graphite, creme de cassis, flowers and background earth as well as spice. The old eucalyptus-filled aromatics of a young Martha's Vineyard are nowhere to be found as the 2001 is dominated by fruit and earth. Full-bodied and powerful with superb integration of wood, tannin, acidity and alcohol, this large-scaled red is capable of three or more decades of cellaring.

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 has at least another three decades of aging potential ahead of it and is one of the great young, legendary classics from Napa Valley.”(100pts)4 bottles per lot $1200-1600

21762 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2004Hillside Select(Wines Located in New York)“Inky/purple-colored with notes of blueberry, blackberry, cassis, spring flowers, and a touch of toast, the wine is opulent, voluptuous and full-bodied with sweet tannin, just enough acidity to provide freshness, vibrancy and delineation, and a spectacular finish that goes on 40+ seconds. This is a killer, a showy and flamboyant style of Hillside Select that's already drinking beautifully and should continue to do so for another 15-20 years.”(99pts)5 bottles per lot $1000-1400

21763 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005Hillside Select(Wines Located in New York)“One of the world's great wines and profound expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, is the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select. This wine spends more than 30 months in 100% new oak, and, year in year out, has been one of the most singular and profound examples of Cabernet Sauvignon in the world. It seems Shafer began to ratchet up performance during the 1990s, and the first decade of the 21st century has provided a treasure trove of either perfect or nearly perfect wines, including the 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007 and more recently the 2010, 2012 and, in all likelihood, the 2013. The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select (about 2,000 cases produced) is another one of those “wow” wines, but it does it with a sort of measured richness and restraint and extraordinary subtle character, like the Gary Cooper of Napa Cabernet Sauvignons authentic, tall, straight-boned, but substantial and worthy of introspection. Inky purple, with a classic nose of creme de cassis, licorice, a touch of vanilla and forest floor, the wine hits the palate with a gorgeous display of measured, but substantial fruit, body and intensity. Not a component is out of place, and the wine remarkably pure and persuasive. Combine great winemaking with great viticulture and a special terroir, and this is the result. Readers are in the presence of genius when tasting this wine.”(99pts)3 bottles per lot $750-1000

21768 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1983Gravesbn, lbsl, ltl (Wines Located in New York)“Black cherry, tobacco, prunes, bittersweet chocolate...biggest finish of the evening so far, but the wine is still leaning on the medium-bodied side...minerally palate - iron, gravel...the wine actually gave a lighter impression flavor and intensity-wise, despite the length of the finish.”(90pts JK)1 bottle per lot $300-400

21769 Château L'Evangile - Vintage 1995Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)“Deep, superripe, fully expressed aromas of black raspberry, chocolate, smoke and leather, plus a ripe vegetal nuance that contributes complexity. Velvety, lush and full in the mouth, but rather closed following the bottling; the wine sweetness is currently restrained. Conveys a sense of brooding power. The silky, fine tannins hit the palate very late. A superb vintage for this wine.”(93+?pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $140-180

21770 Château L'Evangile - Vintage 2009Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)“...may be the reference point offering from this estate for decades to come. A blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% new oak, with 15% natural alcohol, it exhibits a sumptuous bouquet of caramels, black raspberry liqueur, blackberries, violets, graphite and truffles. Thick, viscous flavors are reminiscent of such super-ripe vintages as 1982, 1959, 1949 and 1947. The striking aromatics, massive, full-bodied mouthfeel and multilayered palate that resembles a skyscraper in the mouth offer an abject lesson in great winemaking, extraordinary terroir, and the ability to combine power with precision, elegance and freshness.”(100pts)2 bottles per lot $480-600

21771 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1986

Graves(Wines Located in New York)“An extremely impressive, yet slightly hard wine; still closed, but could be as great as the 1952. Dark ruby in color and very aromatic, with a rich cherry aromas.

21772 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1999Pauillac2bsl, 1lfl, 1nl, 1wc (Wines Located in New York)“...both elegant and intensely flavored, and almost diaphanous in its layers that unfold with no heaviness. 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. This extraordinary Lafite increasingly appears to be a modern day clone of the majestic 1953. A mere one-third of the crop made it into the grand vin!”(95pts)2 bottles per lot $1100-1500

21773 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 1990St. Julienvlwrl (Wines Located in New York)“Believe it or not, the 1990 Leoville Barton can actually be drunk - something that cannot be said about the broodingly backward, still excruciatingly tannic 1982. The exceptionally concentrated 1990 reveals more polished, sweeter tannins along with a big, sweet kiss of black currant, forest floor, cedar, and spice box notes. While it still has some tannins to shed, this full-bodied, powerful, long wine is approachable. It should continue to evolve for another two decades.

21775 Château Pavie - Vintage 1990St. Emilionts, lwasl, scl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)“The 1990 Pavie is densely colored, with a reticent, but emerging bouquet of black- cherries, herbs, and oak. In the mouth, the wine is a classic vin de garde, with at least 25-30 years of aging potential. Unmistakable power is accompanied by fine extract, and the wine's balance is impeccable.”(92pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

21777 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 1971Sauternesbn, lfl, lscl, scc, beautiful amber color (Wines Locatedin New York)“Served from an ex-Château bottle. I have always stood by the 1971 Château d'Yquem as being one of the most seriously underrated vintages of that decade. I feel completely vindicated in this view as I batted away the 1967 Yquem when tasted at the Château and entranced its audience. This great Yquem was born during 10 days from October 6, when warm and humid conditions caused an outbreak of botrytis. It was a small crop of just 228 barrels. Slightly deeper in color than the 1982 Yquem tasted alongside, it is blessed with a truly spellbinding nose that has such energy and frisson that you don't know where to look. You can detect Mirabelle, ripe Satsumas, citrus peel and beeswax. The palate is vibrant, animated and simply electrifies the mouth upon entry. The 1971 has immense concentration, while the almost Tokaji Aszu-like finish is beautifully poised. This is simply an outstanding Yquem that shows absolutely no sign of reaching the end of its drinking plateau. Drink now-2040+. Tasted March 2014.”(97pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

21779 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 1990Sauternes1bn (Wines Located in New York)“An extraordinary effort, Yquem s 1990 is a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine. This wine also possesses lots of elegance and finesse. The wine s medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, coconut, and apricots. High quality, subtle toasty oak is well-integrated...”(99pts)2 bottles per lot $500-700

21780 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2005Sauternes1x1 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)“Lucid in colour, the bouquet is detailed with very pure honey, vanilla and almond scents, still a little new oak to be fully assimilated but demonstrating superb focus.

It offers a dark ruby color to go with a big, sweet nose of cranberry, wild strawberries, crushed flowers, forest floor and spice. Full-bodied, layered and elegant, with a supple, rounded and sexy texture, it packs plenty of fruit, yet is graceful, beautifully balanced and seamless.

Deep garnet-purple colored, it is still very primary and comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant crushed blueberries, black cherries, blackcurrants and violets notes with suggestions of dark chocolate, cast iron pan, lavender and underbrush.

21826 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2012(Wines Located in New York)“The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is brilliant. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, mostly from the famous Champoux Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills, it was aged all in new oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. It offers a captivating bouquet of black cherry liqueur and cassis-like fruit, Asian spice, coffee bean and lead pencil shavings to go with a full-bodied, ripe, seamless and hedonistic style on the palate. One of the more approachable, opulent examples of this cuvée, it has no hard edges, plenty of tannin and a massive, heady finish.”(98pts)6 bottles per lot $700-900

21827 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2014(Wines Located in New York)“The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is another tour de force from this estate that's reminiscent of first growth Bordeaux from a vintage like 2009.

Surprisingly medium to full-bodied (it smells much fuller!) with taut flavors that are very closed in the mouth, it has firm, chewy tannins to structure through the long and earthy finish.”(97pts)2 bottles per lot $600-850

21838 Louis Roederer Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2008Rose1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)“...this cuvée is always predominantly informed by the steep, shallow-soiled, south-facing, waterside slopes of Cumieres. Certainly what has been extracted from the two-thirds Pinot here colored via saignee is an essence of ripe, juicy fresh red currant and red raspberry laced with lemon and orange rinds and perfectly set off by close to ten grams of residual sugar. A faintly sweaty tang and subtle suffusion of chalk add interest and slight grain of tannin invigoration to a lusciously refreshing but still very much fruit-dominated finish. I wouldn't want to rule out some additional depth of flavor emerging over the next couple of years, but it would be a shame to miss out on this cuvée in its exuberantly fresh-fruited youth.”(91pts)6 bottles per lot $350-500

It is as compelling as any Champagne I have ever tasted from the estate. Layers of sweet, perfumed fruit emerge with no end in this subtle, sexy Dom Ruinart. The 2002 vintage generally yielded big wines, and of course, a significant amount of the Chardonnay for Dom Ruinart comes from the Montagne de Reims, where the wines are richer and broader, yet those are truly mere details. The 2002 convinces for its superb overall balance and sheer personality.”(96pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

as well as a sweet perfume of forest floor, spice box, cedar, and copious quantities of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully pure with sweet tannins, this wine has aged more slowly than I initially expected. It is the finest Ducru Beaucaillou produced after the 1961 and before the 2003. With respect to the 1990, I do not own any of this wine, but it was the last of a series of vintages between 1986 and 1990 that were affected by the TCA-like contamination in the estate's chai, which was completely destroyed and then rebuilt, eliminating the source of these smells. Not every bottle is affected by this, but I do not have any source for this vintage.”(96pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

This is an inky/purple, beefy, broad, super-rich Pauillac revealing classic creme de cassis notes intermixed with hints of spring flowers and crushed rocks.

21905 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2003Sauternes(Wines Located in New York)“Subtle and racy, with lemon rind, vanilla cream and dried pineapple. Very spicy and intense. Full-bodied, with great length and flavor. Electrified yet refined, with medium sweetness and a wonderful finish. I love the class of this, and the length. Has afterburners.”(98pts WS)3 bottles per lot $450-600

21909 Fonseca Vintage Port - Vintage 1983(Wines Located in New York)“Fonseca is one of the great port lodges, producing the most exotic and most complex port. If Fonseca lacks the sheer weight and power of a Taylor, Dow or Warre, or the opulent sweetness and intensity of a Graham, it excels in its magnificently complex, intense bouquet of plummy, cedary, spicy fruit and long, broad, expansive flavors. With its lush, seductive character, one might call it the Pomerol of Vintage ports. When it is young, it often loses out in blind tastings to the heavier, weightier, more tannic wines, but I always find myself upgrading my opinion of Fonseca after it has had 7-10 years of age. The 1983 is magnificently scented, full-bodied, creamy, rather forward, but showing great length and character.”(92pts)2 bottles per lot $90-120

21910 Graham's Vintage Port - Vintage 19832lbsl, 2tl (Wines Located in New York)“The 1983, like most vintage ports, seems more forward than normal but has a great depth of very ripe, viscous, unctuous, plummy, tarry fruit and significant tannin in its long finish. It is black-purple in color. I doubt that it will be either as profound or as long-lived as the great 1977, but is is certainly one of the top two or three ports of this vintage, and better than the excellent 1980.”(92pts)2 bottles per lot $100-130

21911 Graham's Vintage Port - Vintage 19858wrl, 1tl, (Wines Located in New York)“What more could one want in a young vintage Port? It has great elegance and great power.

“This wine is close to full maturity, but it is capable of holding for another two decades. It reveals the classic Lafite bouquet of red and black fruits, cedar, fruitcake, and tobacco-like aromas. In the mouth, this medium ruby/garnet-colored wine displays a delicacy of fruit and sweet attack, but subtle, well-defined flavors ranging from tobacco, cigar box, cedar, and fruitcake. This is a savory, soft Lafite-Rothschild that is pleasing to both the intellect and the palate. Anticipated maturity: Now-2018.”(91pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

Remarkable intensity, lively acidity, and abundant tannin provide definition and grip. This is the most intense, muscular, and biggest Monbousquet made to date...”(95pts)6 bottles per lot $400-600

21920 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1986Pauillacts, lbsl (Wines Located in New York)“Clearly the youngest looking, most opaque and concentrated wine of the group, it tastes as if it has not budged in development since I first tasted it out of barrel in March, 1987. 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 $700-900

21921 Château Prieure Lichine - Vintage 2005Margaux2bsl (Wines Located in New York)“Its dense purple color is accompanied by a glorious perfume of forest floor, blackberries, incense, and cassis. Opulent, with sweet tannin for the vintage,

excellent purity, and a savory, broad, expansive mouthfeel that lingers on the palate, it possesses the delicacy of a terrific Margaux as well as enough concentration and power to give it an extra dimension.”(92pts)6 bottles per lot $280-380

21924 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 2005Château d'Ampuis, E. Guigal(Wines Located in New York)“More masculine, backwards and concentrated, the 2005 Côte Rotie Château d'Ampuis is a full-bodied, structured effort that's just barely starting to show some secondary nuances. Giving up notions of violet, asphalt, graphite, crushed rock, bacon fat and dried rose petal, it has impeccable balance, notable concentration and a big finish. It should hit prime time in another 2 to 3 years, and evolve gracefully through 2025.”(96+pts)2 bottles per lot $160-220

21925 Oreno Red - Vintage 2009Tenuta Sette Ponti1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)“The 2009 Oreno is stunning. Layers of soft, well-articulated fruit caress the palate in this sweeping, dramatic wine. There is tons of depth, freshness and vitality in the glass, not to mention terrific overall balance. Sweet flowers, spices and licorice wrap around the seamless, captivating finish. Oreno is one of Italy's most improved wines. The 2009, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, represents another move in the right direction. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.”(94+pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400

21926 Ribera del Duero - Vintage 2003Maria, Alonso del Yerro(Wines Located in New York)“The 2003 Maria is a very strong effort for the vintage. Slightly roasted aromas of smoke, truffle, licorice, and blackberry lead to a rich, layered wine with 3-5 years of aging potential It should be at its best from 2013 to 2023.”(93+pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400

21927 Tirant - Vintage 2001Rotllan Torra(Wines Located in New York)“Inky/purple-colored to the rim, it boasts a spectacular bouquet of blueberries, blackberries, and the region s classic crushed stone minerality. This full-throttle yet remarkably elegant 2001 possesses tremendous intensity and texture as well as layers of flavor, but comes across as not over the top, overripe, or overly heavy.”(96-98pts)12 bottles per lot $400-600

21929 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007

(Wines Located in New York)“...possesses a fragrant bouquet of sweet black currants, crushed rocks, earth and background oak. Full-bodied and dense, with Montelena's typical power, tannin and reserved nature, this is a big, rich, formidably endowed red that requires 4-5 years of cellaring. That in itself is atypical of this exuberant, flamboyant vintage.”(94+pts)6 bottles per lot $600-800

21930 Futo Red - Vintage 2006(Wines Located in New York)“...exhibits a deep ruby/blue/purple color, a flawless integration of tannin, acidity, wood, and alcohol, and gorgeous opulence. While Futo is situated on western hillsides overlooking Oakville, it displays a style that has more in common with the purity and elegance found in Screaming Eagle, which is a few miles to the east, on the valley floor. This beautiful 2006 is a resounding success for this vintage, which had some issues with rustic tannins.”(95pts)6 bottles per lot $600-800

21931 Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005Kayli Morgan Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)“The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan is perfection! It was too easy to deliver the ultimate three-digit score. A sensational nose of pen ink, graphite, forest floor, Crème de cassis, a hint of white chocolate, and cedar wood are all present in this majestic, multi-layered wine built like a skyscraper. The freshness is still a component part of this full-bodied, stunningly concentrated wine that is pure Napa purity, power and compelling intensity. This is a great wine, still youthful at age ten, and capable of at least another 20-25 years of evolution.”(100pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

21933 Merus Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2004(Wines Located in New York)“This boutique blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec is a broodingly backward, formidably endowed, full throttle, pedal-to-the-metal style of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2004's 15.5% alcohol is well-concealed by the wine's wealth of fruit and glycerin. This full-bodied beauty is black as a moonless night. It exhibits abundant notes of plums, blackberries and creme de cassis as well as nicely integrated wood, acidity and tannin. It will offer an

impeccable well-made, stunningly rich, complex, two-fisted glass of Cabernet Sauvignon over the next 15+ years.”(96+pts)6 bottles per lot $500-700

Full-bodied and jam-packed with opulent black fruit, the palate has a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and perfumed.”(97pts)6 bottles per lot $700-900

21938 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2006(Wines Located in New York)“The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate remains one of the finest bargains for long-lived California Cabernet Sauvignon. A dense purple color is followed by stunning aromatics of creosote, black olives, blackberries, cedar, and cassis. Full-bodied with a multi-layered texture, decent acidity, and substantial, but ripe, noble tannins, this excellent effort will benefit from 5-6 years of bottle age, and will be another 30+ year wine.”(95+pts)3 bottles per lot $180-240

1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)“The 1999 Special Reserve (92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot) is a firm, structured (a characteristic of this vintage's cool growing season), textured, Medoc-like effort with a dense ruby/purple color, and aromas of sweet black currants, smoke, licorice, earth, and herbs. This nuanced and firm offering will appeal to tasters with a Bordeaux sensitivity. It is not a big Napa Cabernet that whacks you over the head. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018.”(90pts)6 bottles per lot $180-240

Sourced from old vines, some close to 140 years of age, it is fashioned from four sectors of Barossa Marananga, Koonunga Hill, Moppa, and Greenock. It spends 30 months in 60% new French oak before being bottled without fining or filtration. The powerful, full-bodied 2001 exhibits aromas of creme de cassis, blackberry liqueur, ink, espresso, graphite, and apricot marmalade.

22005 Bond - Vintage 2005St. Eden(Wines Located in New York)“The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Eden is from an 11-acre vineyard on the foothills north of the Oakville crossroad that has the classic red, rocky soil of this area, essentially in the foothills of the Vaca Mountains that define the eastern edges of Napa Valley. This wine, which shows notes of new saddle leather, Christmas fruitcake and spice, is broad and savory, with a classic full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning purity and sensational flavors of wild forest mixed with blackberry and cassis fruit. This blend can be drunk now, or cellared for at least another two decades.”(97pts)3 bottles per lot $750-1000

22006 Bond - Vintage 2005Vecina(Wines Located in New York)“2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Vecina is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 100% new oak, like the other cuvées. It is from an 11-acre site directly southeast of the Bond Winery, close to Harlan Estate. This wine tends to be the closest to the Harlan Estate in quality, with notes of new saddle leather, blackberry, roasted coffee and a hint of chocolate and again graphite and subtle smoke. Opaque purple, but still incredibly youthful, the wine is spicy, intense, full-bodied and majestic. There is a deep tone to this massive Cabernet Sauvignon, which is set for another 25 or 30 years of life, although it certainly is accessible at present.”(98pts)3 bottles per lot $750-1000

22030 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1987Hillside Select(Wines Located in New York)“This was the first Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon to spend 30 months in oak casks. It is an intriguing wine with a muted bouquet that is attractiv. In the mouth the wine is superb, exhibiting far greater richness, intensity, and complexity than the shy, backward aromatics suggest. The youthful, opaque dark purple color is followed by a restrained nose (due to sterile filtration?), and a pure, rich, intense wine with adequate acidity, moderate tannin, and layers of ripe, highly-extracted fruit in the finish. Nevertheless, it is an impressive Cabernet Sauvignon that should last for another 15-20 years.”(90pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

22033 Château Gruaud Larose - Vintage 1982St. Julien2sdc (Wines Located in New York)“A massive wine that is clearly of first-growth quality in

this vintage, the 1982 Gruaud Larose remains a youngster. A broodingly dense, thick, unctuously textured, inky/plum/garnet/purple color offers up scents of beef blood, steak tartare, cassis, herbs, tobacco, and underbrush. One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage (as well as one of the most concentrated Bordeaux's I have ever tasted), it is a huge, full-bodied, weighty, rich wine whose tannins are getting silkier and silkier. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life. This behemoth is a singularly profound example of Gruaud Larose that continues to justify its legendary status.”(98pts)2 bottles per lot $600-800

22034 Château Rauzan Segla - Vintage 1986Margauxlbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)“OK, now we are talking - a step-up here in the nose fantastic balance between its cassis and slate components chocolate dancing around the edges penetrating minerals - about as intense as Margaux gets great breed in this explosive nose long palate with great dust flavors to the finish and big-time mirabelle.”(94pts JK)1 bottle per lot $150-200

22035 Château Talbot - Vintage 1986St. Julients (Wines Located in New York)“It's my gut feeling that the 1986 is, along with the 1982, the finest Talbot made at this estate since the legendary 1945. The wine, which has been so special since the first taste from cask, is classically structured, with a penetrating fragrance of peppery, spicy, weedy black currants and tar, an enormous concentration of flavor on the palate, and staggering length.”(96pts)1 bottle per lot $100-130

22036 Clos de Tart - Vintage 1998Domaine du Clos de Tart(Wines Located in New York)“Bright ruby.

Sandalwood and black tea contribute further interest.”(93pts)2 bottles per lot $400-500

22044 Sine Qua Non White - Vintage 2016Deux Grenouilles(Wines Located in New York)“The 2016 Deux Grenouilles White bursts with expressive aromas of apricot preserve, yellow plums, dried flowers, orange rind and Acacia honey. It's a deftly judged blend of 36% Roussanne, 29% Chardonnay, 23% Viognier, 9% Petite Manseng and 3% Muscat, and the exotic aromatic contributions of the Viognier and Muscat don't drown out the subtle expressions of the other varieties. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, fat and lavish, with considerable satiny texture, juicy acids and a sapid, even savory

finish that I suspect reflects the Petite Manseng component. It's a rich and dramatic white that should drink well on release and could well be very interesting with time in the bottle. The Deux Grenouilles was produced entirely from estate fruit with the exception of Chardonnay from Bien Nacido Vineyard, and it was vinified in 26% concrete eggs, 26% used barrels and 48% new oak.”(94pts)2 bottles per lot $200-260

Anyone who has tasted the 1982, 1975, 1961, 1959, 1955, 1949, and the inconsistent but potentially superb 1947 recognizes that this wine, now largely forgotten by the Bordeaux cognoscenti, has produced some extraordinarily rich, beefy, full-bodied, powerhouse wines that have admirably stood the test of time. Moreover, since Latour-Haut-Brion has always been eclipsed by the justifiable prestige accorded to its neighbors, La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion, it can be purchased for a reasonable price at auction.”(95pts)1 bottle per lot $200-300

22048 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1983Pauillacbn (Wines Located in New York)“Finally, the 1983 Lafite is beginning to shed its tannin. The wine exhibits a deep ruby/garnet color with only a slight lightening at the edge. The intoxicatingly perfumed nose of lead pencil, pain grille, red and black 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. Long, elegant, plump, and surprisingly fleshy, this outstanding example of Lafite seems largely forgotten given the number of high quality vintages during the golden decade of the eighties.”(93pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

It is medium-bodied, with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony.

Just over a decade ago when I last tasted the 1989 Calon Segur, I was enraptured by this wine. However, over subsequent years time has caught up with it and it is now beginning to show signs of wear and tear. It is what you might call “old school”: sandalwood, warm bricks and bay leaf scents with just a touch of star anise. It feels just a little fatigued. The palate is medium-bodied, rustic and broad-shouldered, but with a sweet core of degraded fruit, vestiges from that hot summer. The finish foursquare and a little austere, suggesting that it might dry out within 5-8 years. There is still some pleasure to be gained from this Saint Estèphe, but I would drink it sooner rather than later. Tasted March 2015.”(90pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

22077 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 1996Clos St. Jacques, A. Rousseau(Wines Located in New York)“I have long considered the 1996 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques from Armand Rousseau to be a brilliant wine, though it is a few years since we last met. Here, it had a broody and surprisingly youthful bouquet: dark berry fruit, juniper berries, briary and sous-bois aromas. Captivating...but serious! The palate is medium-bodied with that impressive fruit concentration although it has clearly mellowed in recent years. There remains a firmness and an obduracy, yet also wondrous harmony and compose, almost effortless in nature as it gently fans out on the finish. As I said before, this has a long future.

“The 2006 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd M comes from around 70% Loibnerberg with the balance from at least four other sites, all picked by the 10th of November. Wonderfully deep, with coffee, caramelized peach, tobacco, and an intensity of black raspberry that put one in mind of a red wine, this deals effortlessly with its 15% alcohol, finishing heat-free, with ample primary juiciness and with plenty of flavor nuance. I can't recall when I tasted an “M” bottling as richly-satisfying and un-exaggerated as this. I would plan on following it for at least 7-9 years, recognizing that in a few years its cellar potential (or perhaps the emergence of alcoholic heat) will be more evident.”(94pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

a more gravelly and slaty edge with more minerals. There was still deep and nutty fruit behind those, and some signature chocolaty richness. That chocolate quality spread like Nutella in the mouth, as did flavors of tar and tobacco. There were lots of leathery fruit flavors.

22133 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 1982St. Julienbn, lbsl, negociant bottling (Wines Located in New York)“This huge wine is, in many ways, just as massive as Leoville Barton, but it possesses a greater degree of elegance as well as unreal concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors. The tannins are still there, and, at least from my cellar, this 1982 does not appear to have changed much in the last 10-12 years.”(95pts)1 magnum per lot $700-900

22134 Château Margaux - Vintage 1999Margaux2vlscl (Wines Located in New York)“The 1999 Château Margaux has been the standout First Growth since I first tasted the wine from barrel. Now reaching its plateau of maturity, it has an understated nose at first, armed with impressive mineralité with a gorgeous graphite seam. The definition and precision here is top class. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth in texture, very harmonious and assured, surprisingly with some new oak still to be fully assimilated into the wine. The signature Margaux traits of crushed black cherries and violets comes through towards the finish, suggestions of raspberry reserve and desiccated orange peel enhancing the long finish. Perhaps I might temper my initial enthusiasm for the 1999 Château Margaux...but only slightly. It comes highly recommended. Tasted May 2016.”(95pts)2 bottles per lot $700-1000

22135 Château Montrose - Vintage 2003St. Estephevlscl (Wines Located in New York)“The 2003 Montrose was served blind in Bordeaux on two occasions. Picked between 11 to 26 September, it is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. It remains one of the outstanding wines of a very black and white vintage. Without knowledge of the vintage, I was hesitant to suggest 2003, because though there is clearly fruit intensity locked up inside this Saint Estèphe, it is counterbalanced by the estate's trademark masculinity and austerity. So both on the nose and the palate it reaches this happy medium: pure blackberry, graphite and roasted herbs on the nose, perhaps even more elegant than I have observed on previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied rather than full bodied with sturdy tannins couched in layers of seamless blackberry and cassis fruit, offset by scents of tobacco and graphite. As usual it has immense length and depth, a Montrose that is really just a few chapters into what is sure to be a longer “book” than many other 2003s. It is not a perfect Montrose, but a couple of hairs' breadth

While it never possesses the power and breadth of flavor of Le Meal or Le Pavillon, l Ermite appears to be a hypothetical blend of Bordeaux s Lafleur and Ausone as it always displays a certain austerity early in life.

Aromas and flavors of black and red fruits as well as liquid granite emerge in this superb, multi-layered wine of fabulous intensity and length. The finish lasts for nearly a minute.

After tasting this wine on five separate occasions, I can state with certainty, it has the most saturated color of any Mon Aieul produced to date. Moreover, its perfume of blueberry liqueur, black raspberries, licorice, roasted meat juices, and lavender is incredible. Full-bodied power, a multilayered mouthfeel, tremendous purity, and awesome concentration put this wine in a class by itself.”(100pts)2 bottles per lot $200-280

There is superb transparency to the wine's fruit, along with a sublime finish that lasts forever. Ideally a few years of cellaring are called for, but readers will have a hard time exercising such patience.

and warm on the palate, it is clearly the product of a very hot vintage, yet it shows notable freshness along with much persistence, great overall balance and a lingering note of sweetness on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.”(93pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

22159 Sassicaia - Vintage 2005Tenuta San Guido1nl (Wines Located in New York)“...is another strong effort from Tenuta San Guido. Medium in body, it reveals an understated, delicate expression of smoke, herbs, tobacco and sweet dark fruit. The wine possesses compelling harmony and a gorgeous sense of inner perfume that flows from start to finish.”(93pts)3 bottles per lot $450-600

22160 Redigaffi - Vintage 2006Tua Rita(Wines Located in New York)“Very complex, with blackberry, black olive and floral aromas. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a wonderful palate that continuously evolves. Offers blackberry, chocolate and mineral character. Long and satisfying.”(97pts WS)2 bottles per lot $240-320

22161 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2006Valdicava(Wines Located in New York)The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino flows with gorgeous layers of dark red fruit. This is one of the more muscular, virile wines of the vintage. Slow to reveal its character, the Valdicava Brunello will require significant patience, but I have seen the wine blossom beautifully, even in the smallest of vintages. A blast of iron, smoke, tar, licorice and new leather inform the deep, intense finish. This is a hugely promising, brilliant Brunello from proprietor Vincenzo Abbruzzese, but it needs to be buried in the cellar for at least a few years...(95pts)1 bottle per lot $70-90

22166 Continuum Red - Vintage 2007(Wines Located in New York)“...boasts an inky/purple color as well as an extraordinary perfume of blueberries, blackberries, spring flowers and subtle hints of burning embers and earth. Akin to the seamlessness of haute couture from the likes of Chanel, the integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood has been brilliantly accomplished by Mondavi.”(98pts)6 bottles per lot $1000-1400

22167 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2005Atlantis Fe 203 1B(Wines Located in New York)“An extraordinarily flowery nose interwoven with scents of blueberries, blackberries, incense, and graphite soars from the glass. 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 $260-350

months in new oak) is fashioned from a vineyard planted in 1903. While it does not have quite the size and power of the 2002 Les Amis, it is still a Grenache on steroids. With wonderful purity, more elegance than the 2002, and remarkably well-integrated oak, I suspect it will shut down at some point, require 4-5 years of patience, then re-emerge and last for two decades or more.”(98pts)3 bottles per lot $220-300

22171 Torbreck Grenache - Vintage 2005Les Amis(Wines Located in New York)“Remarkably fragrant, it emits full-throttle aromas of spice box, kirsch, wild raspberry, and blackberry liqueur. Plush on the palate, it reveals layers of rich, red and black berry flavors, ripe tannin, and a 60-second, pure finish.”(98pts)1 bottle per lot $75-100

22172 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1990Gravesvlscl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“1990: In terms of the brilliant complexity and nobility of the aromatics, scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices, the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled. It is always fascinating to taste this wine next to the 1989, which is a monumental effort, but much more backward and denser, without the aromatic complexity of the 1990. The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion's standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top vintage.”(98pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

22174 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 1967Sauternesbn, scc, 1 beautiful light mahogany color, 1 outstanding condition (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“Served out of half-bottle, the '67 had incredible color, especially considering it was from a half-bottle - beautiful orange/amber the nose was phenomenal honey, marpizan, nuts, orange, tangerine, almond, cream flavors of honey, marzipan and lots more, but I got tired of writing! Good balance smooth and sexy.”(97pts JK)1 bottle per lot $800-1100

22175 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 1988Sauternes3vlscl, 3lwrl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“...displays more richness and unctuosity than any

young d'Yquem I have tasted. It should have 40-60 years of positive evolution, although one suspects that much of the production will be consumed within the next 4-5 years. If my instincts are correct, this is the most profound d'Yquem since the legendary 1959. It may not prove as timeless as the 1975, but I believe it to be even more concentrated.”(99pts)3 half-bottles per lot $350-500

22179 Cornas - Vintage 2011Vieilles Vignes, A. Voge(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“More pretty and elegant than the '12, the 2011 Cornas Vieilles Vignes comes from a number of old-vine parcels and was aged in 15% new French oak. It has impressive black and blue fruits, pepper, violets and wild garrigue-like aromas and flavors to go with a full-bodied, pure, layered and sexy style on the palate. Drink it over the coming decade.”(93pts)10 bottles per lot $750-1000

22181 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2010Charvin1x6 magnum ocb (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“More backward and concentrated, the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as dense, black raspberry, black currant, garrigue, licorice and lavender characteristics. Full-bodied with undeniable elegance, minerality and precision, it needs 2-3 years of cellaring and should keep well for 15-20.”(95+pts)6 magnums per lot $500-700

22182 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1990Château de Beaucastel(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“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 magnum per lot $350-500

22183 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1998Château de Beaucastel(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“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)1 magnum per lot $150-200

22186 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1998cuvée Laurence, Domaine du Pegau(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The 1998 Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée Laurence, the finest example of this offering I have yet tasted (even better than the 1989, 1990, and 1995), spent four years in small barrels prior to being bottled unfiltered. A spectacular effort, it is a monument to great Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A dense plum/purple color is followed by aromas of sweet black fruits intermixed with tobacco, cedar, pepper, and fruitcake. Powerful, rich, and concentrated, with a finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this wine is performing far better than when I tasted it a year ago. It is a legendary Ch teauneuf-du-Pape in the making.”(96pts)2 magnums per lot $450-700

22188 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2005Les Cailloux, cuvée Centenaire, L. & A. Brunel2vlscl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“Richly layered, with currant paste, Black Forest cake, espresso, mesquite, date and incense notes. Ripe and

lush, this is far more supple than most of its 2005 peers. The finish is long and dense, but very silky, with lingering notes of macerated fruit and black tea.”(96pts WS)2 bottles per lot $160-220

Truly the stuff of legends, these SGN possess 15%-18% residual sugar. All three will age for 40-50 years, but will anyone wait that long?

Giacosaltl, faded label (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The 1996 Barolo Falletto de Serralunga (Red Label Riserva) possesses extraordinary presence and stature. Dark garnet/ruby-colored, it offers a tight but promising nose of road tar, scorched earth, truffles, blackberries, cherries, and espresso. This muscular, massive wine gave me chills. It is an exquisite, virtually perfect Barolo that requires a decade of cellaring, and should last for 30-40 years. I remember wishing I were twenty years younger when I tasted it prior to bottling ... I still feel the same way. Awesome! Anticipated maturity:

2010-2040.”(98pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

Mocha, dark cherries, flowers, spices and tar are some of the notes that flow from this beautifully delineated, layered Barolo. The 2005 impresses for its length, textural finesse and fabulous overall balance. Sweet red cherries, mint and flowers meld gracefully into the finish. In many years Percristina can be a very big wine, but the 2005 is much more finessed in style. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.”(94pts)6 bottles per lot $480-600

It exhibits plenty of density, but it seems less impressive than I would have thought given previous efforts from this winery.

While this vintage of Dominus contains no Merlot in the blend, every time I taste it I am reminded of a great vintage of Pétrus such as 1982, 1989 or 1990. Although different, the 1991 Dominus possesses extraordinary intensity, remarkable opulence, and amazing fruit extraction, all welded to a full-bodied structure. The wine's sensational purity and inner-core of depth must be tasted to be believed. The 1991 will be approachable young because of its sweet tannin, yet it exhibits the potential to last for 25 years. Perhaps 1994 will rival it, but for now, the 1991 is unquestionably the greatest Dominus, as well as a potential legend in the making.”(99pts)1 bottle per lot $260-400

In the mouth, it is full-bodied, with thrilling levels of extract and richness, but no sense of heaviness or harshness. This seamless Dominus possesses no hard edges, as its acidity, tannin, and alcohol are beautifully meshed with copious quantities of ripe fruit.”(99pts)1 magnum per lot $600-800

Sweetly fruited and with full-bodied richness, this beauty is hard to resist and has fabulous concentration, sweet tannin and a seamless finish.

22249 Peter Michael Chardonnay - Vintage 1994cuvée Indigene(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The 1994 Chardonnay cuvée Indigene is a mindblowing Chardonnay. It tastes like a hypothetical blend of Coche-Dury's Corton-Charlemagne, Louis Latour's Chevalier-Montrachet, and Michel Niellon's Batard-Montrachet. An amazingly concentrated and fabulously pure Chardonnay, with extract levels that must be tasted to be believed, this profound wine is extremely intense, well-balanced, with adequate acidity, and a lusty, spicy finish. The quality of fruit is so remarkable that the high percentage of aging in new oak casks is largely obscured by the wine's fruit.”(96pts)1 magnum per lot $180-240

22268 Château Latour a Pomerol - Vintage 1982Pomerolvhs, vlscl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“Tasted at the Latour-à-Pomerol vertical in London. The 1982 Latour-à-Pomerol has been a great wine for many years and this might well be the best that I have ever encountered. It has an exceptional bouquet that here is surprisingly youthful. It comes armed with black fruit, bay leaf, cedar and gravel, almost Left Bank in character. Further investigation yields an intriguing marine-like, seaweed scent that expands upon its engaging personality. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful balance and fine tannin. It has melted a little since my last encounter, softened around the edges and yet there remains that core of intense black fruit and kirsch that will ensure that it continues to age for many years. The Moueix team made several immense wines in 1982 and this is one of them. Tasted December 2015.”(95pts)1 bottle per lot $200-300

22269 Château Margaux - Vintage 1959Margauxhtms, bsl, 1nc, 1 outstanding color (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“The 1959 Margaux had lots of black fruits, and more of that reference iron fist. There was more animal here, almost sweat. It was rich and round like the '82, with nice charcoal flavors on its finish. This was an outstanding wine, a fastball of a Margaux with equal status to the 1982.”(95pts JK)1 bottle per lot $500-700

22270 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1982Pauillacbn, lbsl, vlscl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)“...phenomenally dense and muscular It is immune to oxidation! Moreover, it has a level of concentration that

represents the essence of the Mouton terroir as well as the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon it contains. Cassis, cedar, spice box, minerals, and vanillin are all present, but this opaque black/purple Pauillac has yet to reveal secondary nuances given its youthfulness. It exhibits huge tannin, unreal levels of glycerin and concentration, and spectacular sweetness and opulence. Nevertheless, it demands another decade of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for another seven or eight decades. I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years! The fact that it resists oxidation is a testament to just how youthful it remains, and how long it will last.”(100pts)1 bottle per lot $800-1200

The 1997's light gold color is accompanied a gorgeous perfume of caramel, honeysuckle, peach, apricot, and smoky wood. Full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with good underlying acidity as well as loads of sweetness and glycerin, it looks to be a great vintage for this renowned Sauternes estate.”(96pts)1 half-bottle per lot $100-140

22275 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007cuvée da Capo, Domaine du Pegau(Wines Located in Hong Kong)“An inky/purple color is followed by aromas of smoked meats, Peking duck, licorice, lavender, aged beef, grilled steak blood, black currants, plums, sauteed cepes and soy. Enormously concentrated, broad, expansive and massive but not over the top, this is a tour de force in winemaking that is impossible to imagine unless one has a bottle to work through over the course of 4 to 5 hours.”(100pts)

22284 Saumur Champigny - Vintage 2005Clos Rougeard(Wines Located in New York)“It is always a treat to taste the brilliant wines from the Foucault brothers at Clos Rougeard, and their newly released 2005s are every bit as brilliant as one would expect from a great estate in a great vintage. The 2005 Clos bottling offers up a beautifully complex nose of red berries, black cherries, woodsmoke, soil, gentle cedary notes, a touch of juniper and a lovely topnote of fresh

thyme. On the palate the wine is medium-full, tight and laser-like in its focus, with tangy acids, lovely mid-palate depth, ripe tannins and outstanding length and grip. The Clos bottling usually only sees a very modest percentage of new oak, and for this reason it is one of my favorites at the estate, despite the obviously superior raw materials of the Poyeux and the Bourg bottlings.”(94+pts JG)1 bottle per lot $200-260

This is a very serious effort that has a velvety texture but tightens up quickly on the backend due to the buried structure.”(92pts BH)2 bottles per lot $240-320

A spectacular effort, it is a monument to great Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A dense plum/purple color is followed by aromas of sweet black fruits intermixed with tobacco, cedar, pepper, and fruitcake. Powerful, rich, and concentrated, with a finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this wine is performing far better than when I tasted it a year ago.

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

“The 2001 Almaviva remains youthful. Its color is dark ruby/purple and the bouquet features pain grille, violets, leather, coffee, blackberry and black currant. On the palate, the wine is balanced and elegantly styled with excellent depth and concentration. The ripe tannins are well concealed and will support another 3-5 years of cellaring. It should drink well through 2030. There is no doubt that Almaviva merits its status as one of Chile's icon wines.”(92pts)1 bottle per lot $65-100
