4Dominio de Pingus - Vintage 2014

1x1 double magnum owc (Wines Located

in New York)

"Opaque purple. Dark berry compote and smoky Indian spices on the intensely perfumed nose, which is complicated by notes of incense and licorice pastille. Deep, sappy and broad on the palate, offering sweet flavors of black and blue fruit liqueur and spicecake. Gains energy as well as depth with aeration, finishing with powerful notes of candied dark berries, smooth, harmonious tannins and wonderful persistence."(95-97pts VM)

Kong)

"As I reported last year, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée da Capo is impressive. While it's less flamboyantly aromatic than the Cuvée Réservée, it's more powerful and concentrated. Full-bodied and rich, it's loaded with potent raspberry fruit and silky tannins and boasts a finish that won't stop. Hints of roasted meat, lavender and thyme add complexity to the waves of fruit, which wash gently across the palate, exhibiting a lovely soft touch."(98pts)

Medium-bodied with outstanding concentration and sweetness in the mid-palate, elegance and balance..."(90-92pts)

54Bounty Hunter Red - Vintage 2007

Poetic Justice


"Good dark red. Slightly high-toned, inviting aromas of black raspberry, redder berries, spices, minerals, tobacco and sexy oak. Fat, velvety and sweet, but with strong spicy high tones giving the wine shape and definition. There's no shortage of oak here but this is not at all an unrelievedly black, porty style like many of these '07s. Finishes long and vibrant, with dusty tannins. Like the Frontier Justice, this comes across as a bit high in volatile acidity, but not like the Blind Justice bottling. "(91pts VM)

"Their most conventional cuvée, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a two-acre block of vines in Coombsville. It exhibits a dense ruby/purple hue as well as juicy blackcurrant and blueberry fruit, a subtle hint of new oak in the background, and touches of earth and spice. This medium to full-bodied, elegant, structured, Bordeaux-like Cabernet Sauvignon is rich, full, ripe and impressive, although still very young. Forget it for 2-3 years and drink it over the following 15-20 years."(91pts)

335Château Doisy Vedrines - Vintage 2007

Sauternes


York)

"Tasted at the château, the 2007 Château Doisy-Védrines does not achieve the same level of precision as the 2006 on the nose, although there is plenty of botrytis here with scents of melted candle wax and white peach. The palate is vibrant on the entry with impressive weight: hints of orange peel and apricot with a tender, almost understated finish. This improves in the glass, gaining more complexity and nuance and yet never quite demonstrating the sheer ambition as the 2009. Yet I notice even within the limited amount of time at my disposal some melioration in the glass, gaining harmony and tension and so I would not hesitate in decanting this very fine Barsac."(93pts)


406Bacio Divino Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2015




Janzen Cloudy's Vineyard


"Cabernet Sauvignon Cloudy Vineyard Napa Valley) (from a site in the Vaca Mountain range): Medium ruby-red. Black fruits, licorice, menthol and chocolate mint on the nose. Fat, sweet and creamy but still a bit monolithic in the mid-palate. Finishes with building chewy tannins and lingering sweetness. This will need time to lose some of its baby fat and take on its adult shape."(90pts VM)

Janzen, Beckstoffer to Kalon


"I thought the Jenzen Cabernet Sauvignons showed brilliantly. The 2012 Janzen Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense purple color followed by notes of creosote, burning embers, wood spice, forest floor, blackberry and cassis. It is full-bodied with great intensity and a long, rich, concentrated finish."(95pts)



Missouri Hooper


"Bright medium ruby. Brooding, inky aromas of blackcurrant, menthol and mint convey an almost porty ripeness. Fat, lush and sweet; a bit unrefined but large-scaled and generous, with very good depth to the cassis, blackberry and black cherry fruit. Finishes fat and chocolatey, with broad tongue-dusting tannins and a firm edge of acidity. A step up in texture over the reserve cabernet, with more stuffing to support its oak component."(90pts VM)

"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is silky, polished and totally refined. Today it comes across as quite young and in need of further bottle age for the aromatics to fully develop. It is a gorgeous, racy wine to drink over the next few years. The 2009 is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot, predominantly from Coombsville. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019."(92pts)




"The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa from proprietor Fritz Hatton is another winner. Rich and dense with an inky/blue/purple color, plenty of tannin and graphite, a touch of oak, and attractive spice, purity and texture, this young Cabernet should be forgotten for several more years, and drunk over the following 15-20, perhaps longer."(92+pts)

"This is the only Spätlese from the Scharzhofberg this year and it is a beauty. The wine is bright, pure and aromatically expressive (particularly for right after its mise), wafting from the glass in a refined blend of pear, white cherries, a lovely base of slate, bee pollen, lime blossoms and still a touch of wild yeasts in the upper register. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, complex and beautifully detailed, with a lovely core, bright acids and a long, vibrant and very classy finish. A quintessential Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Spätlese. "(94 pts JG)

Les Petits Monts, J. Drouhin


Kong)

"From Veronique Drouhin-Boss's personal acreage (and slightly differently labeled than the other Drouhin wines to reflect this), the 2006 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts surprises with its tanninity and faintly vegetal notes, perhaps legacies of the high percentage of stems that were included in the fermentation, although this did not have a similar effect on other occasions in this collection. The enhancement of diverse oriental spices and floral perfume are no doubt a more positive byproduct of vendange entier. Tart fruit skin and fresh ginger; chalk and salt, convey an exuberantly bright and invigorating length that reveals the sheer sap and cut underlying this unevolved cru bottling. But will this wine of formidable density and energy and clean meatiness manage to deal more harmoniously with its tannin (or would it have been less noticeable on another occasion)? I'd want to revisit this before hazarding any prognosis as to long-term evolution."(90+pts)

"Corra's superb 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon's opaque blue/purple color is followed by subtle aromas of charcoal, white chocolate, blackberries, black currants, and background oak. Deep and full-bodied with impressive texture and purity, this 2007 is accessible now, but promises to evolve for 20+ years."(95pts)


1749Sine Qua Non Grenache - Vintage 2013

Female


"Manfred's 2013 Grenache Female checks in as a blend of 78% Grenache, 19% Syrah and 3% Mourvèdre that is mostly from his Eleven Confessions estate vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills, yet has smaller portions from his Cumulus, The Third Twin and Bien Nacido vineyards. Seeing just over 24 months in a mix of demi-muids, 300-liter Hog Heads and barrique, it has a sensational bouquet of spring flowers, black raspberries, black cherries, violets, licorice and camphor. Reminding me of a great vintage of Raymond Usseglio's Cuvée Imperiale, this full-bodied, elegant Grenache is impeccably balanced, has a full and layered mid-palate (which is missing from just about every other Grenache made in California), and sweet tannin on the finish. It's almost impervious to air and didn't budge an inch over the three days I followed this bottle."(98pts)


1750Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2013

Male


"The 2013 Syrah Male is an elegant, seamless Syrah that exudes class in its creme de cassis, black raspberry, smoked meats, graphite and asphalt-laced bouquet. This is a blend of 80% Syrah, 7% Petite Sirah, 6% Mourvèdre, 3.5% Touriga National and 3.5% Viognier, fermented with 28% whole clusters and aged 25 months in 65% new French oak. It's full-bodied, beautifully layered, silky and seamless, with no hard edges and wonderful freshness in both the aromatics and palate."(98pts)

cuvée Moriah


"Donelan's answer to Châteauneuf du Pape is the 2009 cuvée Moriah. Composed of 72% Grenache (with 16% stems), 20% Syrah (with 35% stems) and 8% Mourvedre, this wine reveals zesty acidity as well as an unmistakable kirsch liqueur style. It reminded me of a lighter vintage of Château Rayas, which is a lighter-styled Châteauneuf du Pape even in a powerful vintage. The light ruby-hued cuvée Moriah offers up intense notes of sweet black cherries intertwined with herbal nuances. As the wine sits in the glass, tell-tale notes of raspberries (which I often associate with Rayas) also emerge. If tasted blind, this different, intriguing effort would undoubtedly be thought to be a French southern Rhône rather than a Sonoma County product. It should age effortlessly for 6-8 years."(89-91pts)

Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016."(92pts)

"The 1989 Château L'Eglise-Clinet continues to shine at 27 years of age and this was certainly a better example than several that I have tasted in the last two or three years. It has a very complex nose, this bottle one of the most backward that I have encountered: red berry fruit, black truffle, crushed violets and sage aromas, a hint of warm tar emerging with time. The palate is extremely well balanced, still quite youthful and structured a Pomerol that you have to learn to love (although trust me, it is worth the effort). This example suggests that it still has many years ahead, such is its substance and length. This was always a brilliant wine from Denis Durantou, a Pomerol that wears its heart on its sleeve. Long may it shine. Tasted January 2016."(93pts)



3086Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1975

Graves

"The 1975 La Mission-Haut-Brion has been the most consistent wine of the vintage. Super-concentrated, and now beginning to shed enough tannin so that it can be fully appreciated, this enormously constituted La Mission-Haut-Brion has developed that fabulous Graves set of aromatics - tobacco, black fruits, minerals, roasted herbs, and cedar. Huge, massive, thick, and succulent, with moderate tannin, and some amber notes at the edge... it comes closest in style to resembling the 1945, with a hint of the sweet, ripe 1959."(100pts)

Dal Forno


"Great aromatics - more nutty, great cream, less pepper a little fruitier and less chocolaty most classic in the nose of the first three better balance of fruit and finish - still huge alcohol and spice pepper really comes out."(97pts JK)


3262Ribera del Duero - Vintage 1996

Reserva, Pesquera


New York)

"The dense plum-colored 1996 Reserva exhibits an ostentatious bouquet of smoky oak, earth, tobacco, licorice, and jammy red and black fruits. Full-bodied, thick, rich, and mouthfilling, this opulent wine possesses structure as well as tannin. However, it is delicious already. Anticipated maturity: now-2014."(90pts)

3311Sine Qua Non Pinot Noir - Vintage 2003

Omega

1crwxc, 1ssos (Wines Located in Hong

Kong)

"The top-notch 2003 Pinot Noir Omega Shea Vineyard offers up beautiful aromatics of raspberries, plums, blueberries, and flowers. This deeply fruity, medium to full-bodied Pinot boasts tremendous opulence, a sweet mid-palate, admirable purity, and a seamless finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. After 2003, Elaine and Manfred Krankl will no longer produce a Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir due to the logistical problems of moving fruit from Oregon to their winery in Ventura. "(93pts)



Impostor McCoy


Full ruby. Deep aromas of raspberry, blackberry, violet, nutmeg, cocoa powder, smoked meat and exotic woodsmoke. Super- concentrated, lush and thick, with a firm spine of acidity giving shape to the flavors. Rather strong oak tones. Explosive finish features thoroughly ripe tannins and a late burst of smoked meat.(93pts VM)



The 17th Nail In My Cranium


"Black as a moonless night, the 2005 17th Nail reveals a stunning nose of spring flowers intermixed with creme de cassis, blackberries, charcoal, graphite, and hints of lard and barbecue spices. Dense, with an endless (and I mean endless) finish, remarkable purity, and layer upon layer of flavor, but no sense of heaviness or flabbiness..."(100pts)

Coquard-Loison-Fleurot










"The 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru comes from vines planted in 1933 and 1954, though remarkably, Sébastien told me that one parcel was a fruit orchard as late as 1964. The classy bouquet of mineral-rich red berry fruit, graphite and undergrowth aromas reveals just a hint of morels in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, a very elegant, refined style and a linear finish. Understated and classy."(92-94pts VM)









York)

"The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru comes from a 0.65-hectare parcel next to those of Anne Gros. Matured in 50% new oak, it has quite a healthy, deep ruby color. The bouquet had just a little reduction, but underneath there is plenty of tightly knit blackberry, cranberry and redcurrant fruit, chalk and light incense aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, vibrant red and black fruit with just a faint licorice edge, not enormously long in the mouth but it fans out with style."(93-95pts)
