60 Château Raymond Lafon - Vintage 1986Sauternes12ts, 6sos, 1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"It is hard to believe the 1986 will eclipse the great 1983, but the differences in the two wines are negligible. I do not believe the 1986 makes quite the impact on the palate that the huge, massive 1983 does, but there is a great deal of botrytis, and a profound, penetrating fragrance of cooked pineapple, vanillin, toast, and honeyed peaches. The wine is streamlined, yet also lusciously rich and full-bodied, with crisp, zesty acidity, and a creamy, intense finish."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $500-700

401 Thorn-Clarke Shiraz - Vintage 2007Shotfire Ridge(Wines Located in New York)"The 2007 Shotfire Shiraz was aged for 12-18 months in a mix of new and used French and American oak, 40% new. A saturated purple/black in color, this glass-coating effort has a nose of wood smoke, bacon, mineral, and blueberry that leaps from the glass. Rich and intense on the palate, it has layers of flavor, excellent balance, and a pure finish. It way over-delivers for its humble price. Drink it over the next six years."(92pts)7 bottles per lot $220-300

402 Torbreck Shiraz - Vintage 2003Woodcutter's1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 2003 Woodcutters Shiraz is a 9,000-case cuvée of sexy juice. Powell fashions this striking cuvée from some of Barossa's younger Shiraz vineyards. It is aged 12 months in old wood foudres prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. While meant to be consumed early in life, it does not sacrifice any flavor intensity or power. With a deep ruby/purple color, gorgeous plum, black cherry, raspberry, and cassis-scented aromas as well as flavors, low acidity, medium to full body, good

opulence, and no hard edges, it is about as sexy a Shiraz as one can buy for $20. Drink it over the next 2-3 years."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400

522 Nemo - Vintage 2004Monsanto2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"In 2004 the Nemo (Cabernet Sauvignon) shares a lot of stylistic qualities with Il Poggio. It is more varietally expressive than the 2003 Nemo tasted alongside it, with dark cherries, menthol, spices and sweet herbs that flow from its powerful, layered frame. It reveals considerable depth not to mention tons of potential although it comes across as somewhat reticent today. Though not inexpensive in absolute terms I would be hard pressed to name another Tuscan wine that delivers this level of quality and pure drinking pleasure for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $400-500

566 Villa Fidelia - Vintage 2007Sportoletti2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The estate's flagship 2007 Villa Fidelia is a serious wine bursting with mocha, roasted coffee beans, French oak, leather, licorice, spices that add considerable complexity to the dark, inky fruit. This super-rich, concentrated red is showing beautifully today, but ideally it needs another few years in bottle. Villa Fidelia is Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 12 months in 100% new French oak."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $350-420

574 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2004Corte Pavone, Tenute Loacker2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is a fresh, vibrant offering bursting with dark cherries, violets, underbrush, minerals and sweet toasted oak on a medium-bodied frame. The wine reveals terrific balance in an energetic, focused style, with firm yet ripe tannins. The finish is long, clean and refreshing. This is a gorgeous effort from Loacker. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2019."(91pts)12 bottles per lot $400-480

Jadot1x1 Methuselah owc (Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques has a composed bouquet with dark cherry, red plum, a light estuarine influence seeping through with aeration, all with good intensity and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, plenty of blackcurrant and raspberry fruit, tensile with a brisk and quite punchy finish. I thought it might be Bruno Clair's Clos Saint Jacques before its identity was revealed - a classy number from the Jadot team. Tasted September 2016."(93pts)1 Methuselah per lot $1100-1500

Ripe, decadent and supple, it has boatloads of honeycomb, caramelized citrus, brioche and ripe tropical fruits to go with a gorgeously textured feel on the palate. I suspect it's best consumed over the coming year or two or cellared for 5-6 years."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $950-1300

It is a chewy, structured wine, large-scaled, full-bodied but tannic, although not as backward as the Turner (no doubt because it possesses more richness and density).

It exhibits an opaque purple color along with a gorgeous nose of loamy soil minerality interwoven with blackberry and Crème de cassis fruit. Full-bodied with terrific richness and opulence, this is a great example from the tenderloin sector of Napa Valley. It should drink well young, yet last for 20-25 years."(95pts)

Its inky purple color is followed by almost cool climate-like aromas and flavors of black cherries, white pepper, bacon and hints of game. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless and silky Syrah that really shows the cooler nature of the vintage.

4459 Linne Calodo Cellars Red - Vintage 2012Rising Tides1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"In the same ballpark, the 2012 Rising Tides checks in as a blend of 37% Grenache, 34% Syrah and 29% Mourvedre. Deeper and richer than the Sticks and Stones, it offers knockout cassis, blackberry, ground herbs, pepper and plenty of minerality in its sexy, full-bodied, seamless personality. There's enough mid-palate depth and fine tannin here to keep this drinking great for another 7-8 years, if not more."(95pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

The fabulous bouquet is followed by a sweet entry on the palate, wonderful opulence and richness, and a persistent finish.

Of course, most of the Chardonnay vineyards were harvested before the damaging deluges of early to mid-October. Drink it over the next 3-5 years."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

4556 Latricieres Chambertin - Vintage 2012Faiveley1x3 magnum banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"A pure and manifestly earthy and sauvage nose offers up notes of red and dark currant, humus and underbrush. There is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the beautifully delineated medium weight plus flavors that possess terrific focus and plenty of minerality on the strikingly long finish. As is usually the case this is markedly austere at present and will need plenty of cellar time before it's ready for prime time but it should be well worth the wait."(92-95pts BH)3 magnums per lot $1600-2200

4559 J. Christopher Pinot Noir - Vintage 2011Dundee Hills1x6 magnum ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The J. Christopher 2011 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills cuvée unites fruit from, most prominently, Bella Vide, Baptista Maresh, Le Pavillon, and Abby Ridge, being as such a reflection of the prime Worden Hill Road stretch. There are a thousand cases, three times what there were of the previous vintage, marking this bottling as along with the generic Willamette cuvée the core of the J. Christopher program. Almost stridently bright in its evocation of sour cherry, red currant and rhubarb, this is strongly shadowed by high-toned kirsch distillate, lemon oil and sealing wax. An undertone of dried blood and iron-rich tonic of some sort seems to mysteriously creep in here as well. And amazingly, there is a fine sense of textural richness running parallel to all of the energy and tart acidity on display, and a finish of impressive, penetrating persistence as well as sheer refreshment. "I tried out a lot of blends, and tasted the wines for hours and hours each time, trying to get this a bit more forward and approachable," says Somers. "But I kept coming back to this (blend). And for me this is what Dundee was in 2011, and the whole purpose of my A.V.A. series of wines is to capture the A.V.A. in that vintage." I suspect this will prove deliciously versatile through 2018 if not beyond."(90pts)6 magnums per lot $300-400

Nevertheless, it is a serious effort displaying a deep purple color along

with aromas of chocolate, mint, blackberries, and cassis. Revealing good delineation along with plenty of power, tannin, and depth, it should drink well for 10-15 years. That's an advantage over its Shotfire Ridge, Terra Barossa, and Milton Park siblings. Readers who missed the reviews in issue #147 should realize that Thorn-Clarke produces a bevy of extraordinary bargains."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $400-600

I see a floral character that might be attributed to the Garnacha, but whatever it is, this is a wine of marked personality, combining ripe and elegant aromas and flavors with the attractive suppleness of the blueberries, meaty tannins and delicate aromas of violets and dry roses. The palate shows very good balance and stuffing, with very fine, sophisticated tannins. A great, different Ribera. Bravo! Drink 2014-2021."(94pts)4 bottles per lot $320-450

The wine has a fabulous opaque purple color, notes of blackberry, blueberry and cassis, licorice, graphite and truffle.

5705 Herb Lamb Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2009


5709 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2014Nathan Coombs1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Having tasted this wine since the inaugural 2012 vintage, one of the aspects I most love about this vineyard is how clearly it stands stylistically apart from Paul Hobbs' St. Helena and Oakville single-vineyard wines with red fruits entering the mélange, this incredible energy plus a very particular tannin texture and yet the quality is right up there on the same par. Containing a dollop (2%) of Cabernet Franc, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Nathan Coombs Estate has a deep garnet-purple color and a vibrant nose of red currant and red plum compote, blackberry preserves and mulberries with underlying suggestions of garrigue, Mediterranean herbs, damp earth, lavender and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the tannins on this wine are oh-so-finely pixelated, with a refreshing backbone cutting through the intense flavor layers, finishing with an invigorating lift. I could sit down and drink this right now, but it promises much more to come with 10-15 years cellaring and should hold considerably

longer."(97+pts)6 bottles per lot $1300-1700

5714 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2011T6(Wines Located in New York)"The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard T6 is slightly riper and richer than the RBS with plenty of toasty oak intermixed with lead pencil shavings, cedarwood, baking spices, plums and black currants.

The Tortoniano deftly balances richness and concentration with what is essentially a fairly medium-bodied style. The sweet, perfumed fruit carries the wine effortlessly through the soft, enveloping finish. This is a beautiful effort from Chiarlo.

5809 Cabreo - Vintage 2006Il Borgo, Tenuta del Cabreo

(Wines Located in New York)"Cabreo's 2006 Il Borgo (70% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers gorgeous purity in its bright red fruit, flowers and spices. The wine reveals outstanding depth and length in a mid-weight style, with a refined, poised finish and lovely overall balance. Another year or so in bottle should help smooth the tannins, but in this vintage the French oak (30% new) seems much better integrated than it has been in the past. This is a commendable effort from the Folonari family. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2021."(90pts)7 bottles per lot $220-300

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)10 bottles per lot $900-1000

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 $220-300

Dense and full-bodied, with hints of black olive, camphor, and earth, this is an intriguing but backward style of Syrah that needs several years of bottle age and should drink nicely for 10-15+ years."(90pts)6 bottles per lot $240-320

It is powerful, but at the same time, the cool limestone soils seem to give it an elegance that belies the wine's weight, richness, and power.

8012 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2003Kiedricher Grafenberg, R. Weil2wc, 2sos, 1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Sporting a nose that combines aromatic characteristics typical of Beerenauslesen and Eisweins, the 2003 Riesling Auslese Kiedricher Grafenberg (non-gold cap) reveals smoky botrytis-laced yellow fruits as well as hints of lemon-laced caramels. Armed with huge richness, this deep effort has superb purity, intensity, and length. While it is somewhat heavy, like many 2003 high end German late harvest wines, it appears to have enough balancing acidity to provide lift. Projected maturity: 2008-2030 (readers should note that a Gold Cap version of this wine exists and was tasted it sells for $500 per half-bottle but it was so raisiny, so heavy, as well as so dominated by caramel and molasses that it is not being reviewed)."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $350-480

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. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2022."(90pts)3 bottles per lot $150-200

8084 Barolo - Vintage 1999Bricco Rocche Prapo, Ceretto(Wines Located in New York)"The nose of the 1999 Barolo Prapo, a deep garnet, is dominated by asphalt and anisette aromas with the vanilla and mocha of the oak more in the background. Long, firm, and intense in flavor, still slightly tannic, it will need some time to round off the slight graininess of its texture. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018."(90pts)6 bottles per lot $420-600

8085 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2006Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona(Wines Located in New York)"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is an attractive entry-level wine. Dark red berries, crushed flowers, licorice and mint are some of the nuances that emerge from this fleshy, mid-weight offering. The aromas and flavors are decidedly on the ripe side of the spectrum in the racy 2006, but the intensity of the fruit covers the tannins nicely, making this an attractive wine for near-term pleasure. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021."(90pts)3 bottles per lot $150-200

8105 Montiano - Vintage 2012Lazio, Falesco(Wines Located in New York)"The 2012 Montiano sports a new design and front label that is cleaner and minimalist in personality. That doesn't change the fact that this is one of the most historic Merlot-based wines in Italy that put Lazio wines on the map. Riccardo Cotarella had set his sights on

great Merlot from his home turf, that lies on the Lazio and Umbria border in central Italy. This vintage is especially plump and opulent and signals a slight evolution in the winemaking style of this historic wine. It feels more elegant and streamlined thanks to the purity of its aromas. Black cherry, blackberry, Indian spice, dark chocolate and pressed rose petal come together in seamless fashion."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $180-240

8160 Campoleone - Vintage 2006Lamborghini1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Dark cherries, smoke, licorice and earthiness are some of the nuances that emerge from 2006 Campoleone, a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot that spent 12 months in French oak. This is a decidedly dark, brooding red from Lamborghini. As good as it is, I can't help feeling that the wine is trapped by excessive concentration and new oak. With a lighter touch this could be a truly important, benchmark wine for Umbria. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021."(91pts)6 bottles per lot $240-350

Full-bodied, opulent, and rich, with seamless integration of acidity, wood, and tannin, this medium to full-bodied, gorgeously elegant, intensely flavored 2002 is strikingly complex as well as showy.

A dark, evolved, plum/garnet color is followed by a distinctive perfume of forest floor, jammy raspberries and black currants, a full-bodied, luscious mouthfeel, and such a voluptuous, sexy style that it could be called the Pamela Anderson of Napa red wines. A fleshy, in-your-face, exceptionally well-made effort, it should drink well for 5-7 more years."(91pts)1 bottle per lot $50-70

9293 Solengo - Vintage 2004Argiano2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Readers will find much to admire in these two new releases from Argiano, located in the southern part of the Montalcino zone. The 2004 Solengo presents gorgeous aromatics followed by super-ripe dark fruit, crushed flowers, herbs, spices and sweet toasted oak that flow from its opulent, full-bodied frame. Showing superb concentration, the wine is supported by an attractive note of underlying minerality that provides balance as well as a sense of proportion. It offers

outstanding length, a silky-textured personality and ripe, sweet tannins on the finish in a rare display that marries power with elegance. It will be tempting to drink this early, but a few years of cellaring will give the wine an opportunity to express the fullest range of its potential. In 2004 Solengo is a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 25% Syrah that spent 17 months in new French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

The 1990 exhibits a deep golden corn-like color, followed by sensational aromatics (honeyed citrus, pineapple and pear intertwined with smoke and creme brulee-like notes). In the mouth, the wine is massive and full-bodied, with an unctuous texture, and powerful, juicy flavors that possess mouth-staining extract, glycerin, and viscosity."(92pts)24 half-bottles per lot $600-800

Avril(Wines Located in New York)"Undoubtedly one of the best Châteauneufs of the vintage, Clos des Papes's 2008 Châteauneuf du Pape was in surprisingly fine form. 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. It was made from tiny yields of 16 hectoliters per hectare and reached 14.7% alcohol in what was a challenging vintage in the Southern Rhône."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $380-500

9797 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1971Rosenl, lightly torn foil, excellent color (Wines Located in New York)"What can one say? Certain vintages of this precious commodity are simply fantastic. The color has the same deep red appearance. The mousse bubbles up in a sensational way. The entire wine exudes seriousness and sumptuous vinosity. This has everything required of a really big red Burgundy. The spice, the coffee aromas, the smokiness, and the massive vegetal tones in the fruit call to mind red beets the aftertaste is reminiscent of the finest bitter chocolate. All of this is an unusually clear expression of first-class Pinot Noir. "(95pts RJ)1 bottle per lot $1200-1600

9804 Walter Hansel Pinot Noir - Vintage 2010South Slope(Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Pinot Noir South Slope, from a site that is only four feet away from the North Slope, is much more tense and mineral-driven in style. Crushed rocks, graphite, dark red cherries and tobacco sit on a core of firm yet beautifully integrated tannins. There is a weightlessness and transparency in the South Slope that is beguiling.

The Napa is made from a parcel owned by Aubert that David Abreu planted six years ago with a Montrachet selection. The vines are naturally quite young, but the results are already striking. With time in the glass, the 2011 opens up beautifully, finishing with gorgeous richness and pure texture. This is a dazzling wine by any measure.

This is a cold site, and the wine offers up notes of Chinese black tea, baking spices and black and red currants followed by a delicious, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel with outstanding depth, purity and overall texture.

The wine possesses black cherry, sassafras and cola notes intermixed with background oak, underbrush and forest floor characteristics.

I have tasted this vintage several times and it remains one of the best Pomerols in what was a strong year for the appellation. Deep in color, this particular bottle of 1971 Trotanoy has a lovely saline, brine-tinged bouquet that is powerful considering its age. Later it offers up subtle cassis and mint aromas. The palate is very well balanced with superb depth and vigor. It is a little more masculine than previous bottles, and interestingly, there is less flesh than the 1975, which has the upper hand on this occasion. There is a lovely melted finish with

tobacco lingering on the aftertaste. I have had better bottles, but this is still a fantastic Pomerol. Tasted September 2012."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $1200-1600

When I tasted it, it appeared more structured, tannic, and backward than the 1989.

Here the flavors are bright, precise and endowed with considerable energy. Cranberry, pomegranate, crushed rocks, rose petals and savory herbs are all supported by veins of underlying acidity and minerality that should allow the 2011 to develop beautifully in bottle. All of the 2011 Pinots have really blossomed over the last year, but none to the extent of the Cuvée Elizabeth, which today is stunning."(97pts VM)4 bottles per lot $480-600

The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, ripe black fruit. It is plush and heady, the acidity lower than the 2007 or 2009, so that the finish is rounded, decadent and spicy, without the tension and class of other vintages. It is a hedonistic delight, but it would not be my choice of Croft at the moment. Tasted March 2013."(90pts)3 magnums per lot $220-300

11451 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port - Vintage 2003(Wines Located in New York)"The 2003 Taylor's has a lovely ripe, primal bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, vanilla and marmalade that shows slightly better delineation than the Fonseca. The palate is medium-bodied with very composed, refined tannins that belie the heat of that summer. There is wonderful focus here and fine tension, the finish offering precise notes of black cherries, mulberry, cloves and white pepper. This is one of the finest Ports of a precocious vintage. Tasted May 2013."(95pts)2 magnums per lot $240-320

The 2012 Pommard 1er Cru les Pezerolles from A.F Gros has a rather stemmy bouquet, nicely defined if missing just a touch of energy because of the challenges of the growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with surprisingly fine tannin. There is a dab of oak to be resolved, but the palate is far more stylish and appealing than the aromatics, and it lingers nicely in the mouth.

The nose is dainty, light and pure with tertiary red fruit perhaps just a little sulky at the moment, but the palate is very well balanced, elegant and refined with a long red berry and iodine-tinged finish. I would not ask any more from a Gevrey village."(90-92pts)6 bottles per lot $280-350

The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, a keen line of acidity, and impressive harmony and refinement on the finish - red cherries and wild strawberry fruit. This is a winsome Cazetier that might hold a torch to the Clos Saint-Jacques 2013 if the aromatics can muster greater nuance."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $800-1000

It has a relatively light nose compared to some of the other grand crus tasted.

11809 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2010cuvée de Mon Aieul, P. Usseglio1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)

"The Usseglio's consider the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée de Mon Aieul to be their greatest to date. I've done numerous tastings with the 2010 and 2007 side by side, and more times than not, I think the 2007 is the better wine. Time will tell though, and both are sensational wines that readers should have in their cellars. The inky colored 2010 is 100% Grenache fermented with 30% stems and aged in a combination of older barrels and foudre. More focused and precise than the '07 (and even darker in color), yet still with massive concentration and depth, it offers deep, rich notes of blackberries, cassis, ground herbs, pepper and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, thick and layered on the palate, it never puts a foot wrong, has fabulous purity and a blockbuster finish. It needs 3-4 years of cellaring, but will have 20-25 years of longevity."(98+pts)12 bottles per lot $800-1000

The bouquet offers Bordeaux-like aromas of creme de cassis, graphite, and new oak. In the mouth, it is elegant and medium to full-bodied, with plenty of sweetness, outstanding purity, and a layered, long finish with well-integrated wood, acidity, and tannin. I believe this impressive effort marks the debut of this new super-Tuscan. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $650-800


11818 Testamatta Red - Vintage 2002Bibi Graetz2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"The 2002 Testamatta, the top of the line wine with a big, warm nose of tar and licorice, is very solid and sustained, backward in its tannins and texture, chewy and dense on the finish, and in need of some bottle time.

11825 Barolo - Vintage 1998Ciabot Mentin Ginestra, Clerico(Wines Located in New York)

"The super-extracted, blockbuster 1998 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra assaults the palate with a blast of broodingly tannic, super-concentrated black cherry and raspberry fruit infused with minerals, new oak, licorice, and truffles.

12103 Guidalberto - Vintage 2008Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)"Tenuta San Guido's 2008 Guidalberto is a very pretty wine laced with mineral-infused dark fruit. This is a decidedly smaller scaled, lithe Guidalberto that impresses for its overall balance and finesse. The structure of the 2006 and the exuberance of the 2007 are missing, but the 2008 offers superb drinkability and pleasure today and over the next few years. Dried flowers, licorice and new leather add the final nuances of complexity on the finish. The 2008 Guidalberto is Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Most of the fruit comes from vineyards that are separate from those used for Sassicaia, although Guidalberto always includes some barrels that don't make it into the top wine. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015."(90pts)3 bottles per lot $140-180

12268 Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir - Vintage 2009Laurene1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The Domaine Drouhin 2009 Pinot Noir Laurene delivers rich dark cherry and plum fruit, its persistent but in no way superficial sweetness wreathed in bitter-sweet floral perfume and allied to a vaguely stony undertone. Almost velvety in texture, this nonetheless finishes with a grip that implies abundant if fine tannins. It doesn't indeed, given its vintage, almost surely couldn't approach the infectious sheer primary juiciness of the corresponding 2010; nor does it strike me for now as being any more complex than the highly impressive (and much less expensive) "classique" (i.e. Drouhin's principal bottling). But it's surely worth following for at least half a dozen years, during which time it might well reveal its superiority. "You had to be really cautious with extraction in this vintage," notes Bell of 2009, "because there was a lot of dry skin material in the cap.""(91pts)6 bottles per lot $300-420

12371 Shea Wine Cellars Pinot Noir - Vintage 2010Homer2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The 450 cases of Shea Cellars 2010 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard Homer involve four blocks, only one of which (#31) also spawned a single-block bottling this vintage, feature all three of the vineyard's dominant selections or clones. "We look for our best barrels here," explains Shea, "but now that we've been doing this (bottling) for ten years, we're discovered that the flavor profile we want and what we're trying to do with it seems mostly to come from the same blocks in the vineyard every year" all, incidentally, on the upper-elevation west side, and dominated in aggregate by Wadenswil "so now we sort of have in mind in advance what's going into Homer.'" Mint, bay laurel, smoky nut oils, and violet fascinatingly accent the ripe dark berries in this alluringly scented and polished, expansive, palpably extract-rich as well as downright energetic Pinot that easily (i.e. almost undetectably) digests its diet of 80% new oak. Billowing inner-mouth perfume; richness and concentrated fruit without heaviness; and an exhilarating ping to the long, mouthwatering finish all make for a memorable experience that should be deliciously replicable over at least the next 12-15 years."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $500-700

12374 Shea Wine Cellars Pinot Noir - Vintage 2011West Hill1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Representing a new but essentially self-explanatory site-designate totally 419 cases, the 2011 Pinot Noir West Hill was treated to 60% new barrels, but their resinous contribution has been very well digested into a seamlessly, finely but tightly tannic, fresh cherry- and pomegranate-dominated whole. Hints of ginger add to the sense of finishing invigoration in energetic and long-lined if relatively firm Pinot. With time this should

loosen up a bit and let itself and us in on a bit more fun. I suspect it will perform admirably through at least 2022."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $550-650

12387 Catena Zapata Malbec - Vintage 2004Argentino(Wines Located in New York)"The single-vineyard 2004 Malbec "Argentino Vineyard" spent 17 months in new French oak. Remarkably fragrant and complex aromatically, it offers up aromas of wood smoke, creosote, pepper, clove, black cherry, and blackberry. Made in a similar, elegant style, it is the most structured of the three single vineyard wines, needing a minimum of a decade of additional cellaring. It should easily prove to be a 25-40 year wine. It is an exceptional achievement in Malbec."(98+pts)8 bottles per lot $450-650


12403 Catena Zapata Malbec - Vintage 2007Nicasia1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The single vineyard Malbecs begin with the 2007 Nicasia Vineyard Malbec. It was barrel-fermented and aged for 18 months in 100% new oak including a racking into a second set of new barrels (the so-called "200% new oak" treatment). A glass-coating opaque purple/black in color, it offers up a splendid nose of toasty new oak, earth notes, exotic spices, black cherry and black raspberry. This is followed by a plush, layered, intensely flavored wine with potential complexity, precision balance, and a seamless finish. Give it 4-6 years of cellaring and drink it through 2027, probably longer, these wines have no track record of longevity."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400


12406 Catena Zapata Malbec - Vintage 2008Argentino2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Argentino Malbec is a blend of 65% Adrianna and 35% Nicasia fruit. It, too, spent 24 months in 100% new French oak. The Argentino offers a similar aromatic and flavor profile but with just a bit of extra nuance, presumably because of the blending. Dense, rich, and voluptuous, this lengthy effort should easily achieve its 20th birthday in peak form. It will be most enjoyable to taste these three wines side-by-side in another 10-15 years."(97pts)12 bottles per lot $500-700

Purple-colored, it offers a complex bouquet of pain grille, violets, pencil lead, black cherry, and black currant. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegant wine with a smooth texture, intense flavors, and outstanding length.

"The 2010s can be drunk now or cellared for a decade. Both cuvées possess more intensity and richness than their 2011 counterparts. One of the finest wines Château Cabrieres has made over recent vintages is the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée Prestige. It possesses plenty of sweet black currant, cherry and raspberry fruit intertwined with dusty, loamy soil, pepper and lavender notes. This classic wine of Provence is full-bodied, deep, rich, pure and authoritative. Drink it over the next 10-12 years."(91pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400

The fruit tones are rich and penetrating, spanning from plum, prune and cassis to spice cake, tar and black licorice. The wine's concentration is luscious and opulent. The oak element imparts lasting aromas of spice, toast and caramel but the wine already shows a good degree of integration that should help it continue its bottle evolution.

Made from relatively old vines, the 2012 Pruno is a sexy, opulent, voluptuously textured effort that spent 12 months in two-year-old French oak barrels. Reminiscent of a baby Vega Sicilia, it possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as notes of high-class, unsmoked cigar tobacco, creme de cassis, licorice, graphite and spice box.

The 2005 Château La Tour Blanche has a complex nose with lemon sherbet, orange sorbet, honey and jasmine all soaring from the glass without a care in the world. The palate is medium-bodied with refined tannin, very focused and poised with an elegant, suave finish that has just the right amount of edginess. There is a Barsac-like personality to this La Tour Blanche with a hint of barley sugar on the aftertaste. Overall, this is an impressive Sauternes."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $260-350

Seductive lily, heliotrope and iris along with high-toned herbal and pit fruit essences on the nose find their counterpart in wafting, bitter-sweet perfume and pure essence of peach and quince on a silken palate. There is a Chevalier-like sense of salt and stone shimmering through curtains of fruit in the finish. But the appropriateness of diaphanous metaphors here should not mislead one into suspecting a lack of concentration. In the end, this is implacably persistence, encompassing a tactile dimension to its sense of chalkiness. Hints of honey and toasted almond well up as this takes on air, suggesting an additional dimension of future richness. I expect this will reward revisiting for a decade."(94pts)2 magnums per lot $900-1200

45- to 50-year-old vines is 85% Grenache and the rest equal parts Syrah, Mourvedre, and Vaccarese, all aged in cement tanks prior to being bottled unfiltered.

Revealing an inky purple color as well as an incredible perfume of spring flowers, violets, black raspberries, graphite and Asian spice, it has drop-dead gorgeous purity, full-bodied richness and a seamless, layered texture that fails to completely cover the wine's underlying tannic grip.

Every time I went back to it, the wine revealed more nuances as well as greater depth. Full-bodied and powerful, it exhibits a compelling bouquet of creme de cassis, ground pepper, incense, seaweed, garrigue, and licorice. The knock-out aromatics are followed by a wine with colossal richness, a multilayered texture, no sense of heaviness, an incredibly deep, penetrating palate feel, and a finish that goes on for 50+ seconds."(98+pts)2 bottles per lot $160-200

The wine is expressive and full-bodied, with stunning concentration yet admirable delineation. Its moderately high tannin in the finish suggests considerable patience is warranted.

There is admirable concentration and purity here, but in a compact form whose sense of austerity fruit pit notes only serve to accentuate. Yet, there is a sense of delicacy to the finish. This will need time (even short term) to unclench somewhat, but precisely its underlying density should then contribute to greater textural allure and help insure a 5-7 year future."(90+pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500



13189 Chablis - Vintage 2008Les Preuses, Fevre2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"Both marine and smoky, fusil, crushed chalk mineral elements confront the taster already in the nose from the Fevre 2008 Chablis Preuses, along with fresh lime, mirabelle, apricot, and cherry distillate. Adamant stoniness; iodine; apricot kernel, plum pit, and cherry stone bitterness as well as a firm texture lend the palate a certain austerity and restraint, without the meltingly savory crustacean or musky animal dimensions I usually associate with this site. But there is more than compensatory complexity of alternate sorts as well as sheer density."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $900-1100

But amid this fruitiness are musky narcissus and peony as well as smoky, sweet-saline, iodine-tinged lobster shell reduction that liberate both the salivary glands and the imagination. The lees have reinforced a textural creaminess that by no means precludes tenderness, buoyancy (at exactly 13% alcohol) or consummate, sheer juicy refreshment. The finish here is truly stunning in its simultaneous expression of luscious fruit with a penetrating point of citricity and salty, chalky, peppery seemingly crystalline mineral impingements kaleidoscopically deployed.

The wine possesses notable concentration and depth, but the aromas are slightly forward. The former suggests the wine will age gracefully on its fruit, the latter that it will develop rather quickly. My best guess is that the Barbaresco will drink well for a number of years even if it won't necessarily improve.

There is no doubting the hedonistic appeal of this style of wine. The 1990 is another massive, highly-extracted, boldly-wooded, spicy, dark purple-colored wine with high tannin, low acidity, and layers of jammy fruit. The huge glycerin and massive mouthfeel in this unctuously-textured wine are difficult to ignore.

The opaque purple-hued 2006 Lynsolence reveals a big, sweet kiss of kirsch liqueur, black fruits, licorice, smoke, and crushed rock-like aromas.

The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, good acidity, grippy in the mouth and substantial weight on the finish. If it can evolve more finesse on the finish, this will be a very satisfying Pomerol, so afford it another 3-4 years in bottle. Tasted March 2016."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400




13644 Clos L'Eglise - Vintage 2007Côtes de Castillon1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at the château, the 2007 Clos l'Eglise was a pleasant surprise with quite vigorous black cherry and bergamot scents, just a hint of black tea, certainly showing good intensity after ten years. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, fine backbone, a pinch of cracked black pepper on the entry with a solid, slightly austere but focused finish that is resolutely classic in style.

13652 Château de Myrat - Vintage 2005Sauternes1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at the de Myrat vertical at the property. The 2005 Château de Myrat needed some aeration to rid itself of SO2, but it is worth persevering, because underneath lie attractive pineapple, quince and marmalade scents, orange blossom emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with honey, quince and a touch of bitter orange. While the nose does not quite live up to the previous bottle that I tasted, the 2005 could be considered to be the first vintage to relive the glories of yesteryear, before the vineyard fell into deprivation and flirted with extinction. Drink this now and over the next decade. Tasted April 2016."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $160-220

The 2006 Lafaurie Peyraguey has a complex bouquet: honey, white chocolate, quince and dried pineapple scents that billow from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with marmalade and bitter orange on the entry, a fine line of acidity with a harmonious mandarin and grapefruit finish that carries ample botrytis with it. This appears to have improved over the last couple of years, suggesting an upward trajectory in bottle? Worth checking out. Tasted April 2016."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400

The palate is medium-bodied with a fine spicy entry, quite cohesive with honey, ginger and a touch of marmalade. With good length and persistency towards the finish, this is a very fine, mid-weight Sauternes. Tasted January 2011."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $260-350

Even more noteworthy is their length, which unfolds and expands impressively. Loads of tannin and alcohol infuse these Brunellos with a potential of 15-20 or more years of longevity.

The dark garnet/ruby color is followed by complex characteristics of cedar wood, dried tobacco, licorice, Asian spices, and black cherry/currant fruit.

14058 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 2000Graves(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted from an ex-château bottle in Bordeaux, I was not surprised to find the 2000 Château Haut-Brion flirting with perfection. The nose is simply breathtaking - quintessential Haut-Brion with ebullient red berry fruit, roasted herbs, gravel, terracotta tiles on a warm summer's day...it is simply wave after wave of intoxicating scents that could bring even the most stoic person to tears of joy. The palate displays heavenly balance, pitch-perfect acidity, perhaps spicier than previous bottles that I have tasted, and what depth and dimension in this outstanding wine. That hint of graphite on the finish is a cheeky nod to Pauillac, as if to thumb its nose at the First Growths, because alongside Château Latour, almost by stealth, the Haut-Brion is one of the greatest Bordeaux in this millennial year.

It possesses extraordinary concentration and unctuosity, with a thick, fat texture oozing notes of cedar wood, tobacco, coffee, and over-ripe fruit. Low acidity as well ashigh alcohol (for Bordeaux) give the wine even more glycerin and textural chewiness. The finishlasts forever."(100pts)1 Imperial per lot $15000-18000

It also displays outstanding purity, depth, and full-bodied power. There is a strong undercurrent of minerality in all of these wines which sets 2007 apart from other rich vintages such as 2002.

Maybe a little travel shock "(94+pts JK)1 bottle per lot $1000-1500

14585 Arietta Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2010(Wines Located in New York)"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)1 magnum per lot $180-240

The wine has a viscous texture, huge, concentrated, ripe fruit, remarkable body, and a seamless, multi-layered finish. The tannin, acidity, and alcohol are all beautifully integrated.

The palate is fresh in the mouth with fresh pear and nettle notes, good acidity, but missing just a little complexity toward the agreeably saline finish.

14677 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2001Vieux Telegraphe

2lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2001 Châteauneuf du Pape La Crau is gorgeous, structured, impressive. Full-bodied and backward, with great depth, purity, and heady aromatics, this 20,000-case blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, and 15% miscellaneous amounts of the other permitted varietals will easily rival the 1998. A deep ruby/purple-tinged color is accompanied by a sweet perfume of salty sea breezes, seaweed, melted licorice, kirsch liqueur, creme de cassis, and iodine ... a classic Vieux-Telegraphe aromatic display. Powerful as well as firmly structured, this is a wine to lay away for 4-5 years. It should prove to be uncommonly long-lived, lasting a minimum of two decades. It gets my nod as the greatest Vieux-Telegraphe since the 1998."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $420-500

14679 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2010Clos St. Jean(Wines Located in New York)"...has rocking mid-palate depth and length on the palate. Giving up ample dark fruit, kirsch, pepper, leather and big minerality, this beauty will see its 15th birthday in fine form."(93+pts)6 bottles per lot $200-280

14681 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2015cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegau(Wines Located in New York)"Now that it has been in bottle a while, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée Reservee is looking even better than I projected based on last year's prebottling sample. It's all violets, cherries, subtle allspice and clove and traditional garrigue notes of lavender and thyme. Full-bodied and rich, it's crazy complex, adding hints of tar and black olives on the long, silky finish. It should evolve beautifully over the next two decades."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400

14682 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 2013Le Champon, Domaine Pichat(Wines Located in New York)"The inky purple-colored 2013 Côte Rôtie Champon's (aged in 30% new French oak) offers classic 2013 characteristics in its fresh, crisp notes of graphite, ground pepper, violets and underbrush. Medium-bodied, pretty, focused and with fine tannin, it lacks some back-end oomph, but opens up nicely with air, has solid purity of fruit, and plenty of elegance and character. Drink it anytime over the coming decade."(90pts)6 bottles per lot $240-320

14685 Hermitage - Vintage 2014Les Bessards, Delas Freres1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The inky-colored 2014 Hermitage les Bessards (100% Syrah aged 18 months in 30% new barrels) is up with the top wines in the vintage. Deep, rich and concentrated, with beautiful crushed rock-like minerality, liquid violets, cassis, and black raspberry aromas and flavors, it's medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced and has building, ripe, polished

tannin. This beautiful wine will keep for two decades or more."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $500-700

14691 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2010Valdicava1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The wine offers a long succession of aromas that span from ripe fruit, to smoked meat, to grilled herb and soft spice.

14695 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2011Montosoli, Altesino1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli provides us with one of the most beautiful tastes of Brunello in 2011. The secret here is that fruit is sourced from the Montosoli cru in the northern side of the appellation that performed very nicely in this warm vintage. The wine reaches excellent balance between power and elegance. It leaves a statement but never feels overwhelming. That intensity is presented in terms of fruit freshness, cherry, blackberry and currant. It also comes forth as spice, tobacco and leather. The mouthfeel is exceedingly smooth and silky. The tannins are integrated and soft. Montosoli is planted to a special clone that is grafted over when the vines die. The clone has never been replaced. Because the vineyard is located on the north side of the appellation, it was protected from the heat this vintage. This wine will be released in April 2016."(93+pts)6 bottles per lot $240-320

14697 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2013Il Poggione2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino lives up to the impeccable reputation garnered by this estate over the years. This is a profound and beautifully rendered Sangiovese that delivers bold and luscious fruit quality with black cherry and spicy plum at the start. The bouquet follows through with mild oak notes of smoke, tar and toasted nut. There is another aromatic component that includes crushed stone and dried herb or mint. This Brunello shows elegant evolution in the glass and promises a very long aging future ahead. Some 200,000 bottles were made, so it should be easy to locate this excellent wine."(96pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

14699 Grattamacco Rosso - Vintage 2008Bolgheri Superiore, Grattamacco1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The flagship 2008 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco is beautifully delineated and articulate in this vintage.

Sweet red cherries, flowers, spices and licorice are some of the notes that emerge from the glass. This is a decidedly bright, elegant Grattamacco that impresses for its fabulous overall balance and understated, classy personality. Firm, yet well integrated tannins and insistent minerality suggest the wine will drink well for many years, although to tell the truth, it is pretty delicious today. Grattamacco is Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2028."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $240-320

14700 Grattamacco Rosso - Vintage 2010Bolgheri Superiore, Grattamacco2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco shows a sharpened sense of focus and clarity. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) with Merlot and Sangiovese and the wine delivers its aromas with lift and purpose. A pretty spot of acidity helps to define the deep concentration and sheer power of this opulent red. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $500-700

14702 Valpolicella - Vintage 2010Dal Forno1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is more precise and focused compared to the 2011 edition that I tasted at the estate at the same time. This was not an easy vintage in Valpolicella compared to other parts of Italy that enjoyed a classic growing season. Instead, this Northern corner of Italy suffered from heavy rains and some hail damage. Overall yields were lower as a result. But the wine sings in terms of its brightness and aromatic intensity today. The expressive bouquet covers all the bases from black fruit to spice to drying mineral or flint. All of these elements conspire to bring robust flavors together with smooth and seamless transitions."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $450-600

14703 Two Hands Shiraz - Vintage 2005Bella's Garden2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Shiraz "Bella's Garden" was sourced from Barossa Valley. Opaque purple in color, it offers a reticent perfume of pencil lead, blueberry, and blackberry. Supple, ripe, and with all components in harmony, this medium-bodied Shiraz has uplifting acidity, excellent depth, and a lengthy finish. It will evolve for 3-5 years and drink well through 2020."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $350-480

14710 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1990Pauillacwisl, fl, nc (Wines Located in New York)"...has been drinking well since the day it was released and it continues to go from strength to strength. The biggest, richest, fullest-bodied Lynch Bages until the 2000, the fully mature 1990 exhibits an unbelievably

explosive nose of black currants, cedarwood, herbs and spice. The majestic, classically Bordeaux aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, voluptuously textured, rich, intense wine with superb purity as well as thrilling levels of fruit, glycerin and sweetness."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

14714 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 1990Pauillac2hs, 2wisl, 2lfl, 1hscl, 1sdc, 1scc (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)3 bottles per lot $700-900

With terrific ripeness as well as acidity, this plump, fleshy Chardonnay is on a faster evolutionary track than some of the other cuvées."(92-94pts)1 bottle per lot $100-130

14786 Alban Vineyards Syrah - Vintage 2013Patrina(Wines Located in New York)"The 1,080 case 2013 Syrah Patrina, which is the entry level Syrah, sees a higher temperature during fermentation and roughly 20 days on skins, with periodic punch downs. Aged 22 months in two-thirds new French oak, it trumps most estates grand vin. Showing the forward, plush, sweetly fruited style of all of the 2013s here, with notes of smoked meats, violets, caramelized black cherries and cassis, with its oak component pushed all the way into the background, drink this full-bodied, pure, seamless Syrah through 2023."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $240-320

14787 Saxum Red - Vintage 2008Broken Stones(Wines Located in New York)

"The 2008 Broken Stones (79% Syrah, 13% Grenache, and the rest Mourvedre) has a bluish purple color to the rim, with the classic nose of camphor, charcoal, black currant, and blackberry with hints of licorice and smoke. This intense wine displays great fruit, some structure, and a beautifully seamless texture. It is more evolved and open than the 2007 was at the same time, and just slightly less profound. It should drink nicely for at least a decade."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $180-240

14788 Saxum Red - Vintage 2008Heart Stone Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Heart Stone, a blend of 47% Syrah, 39% Grenache, and 14% Mourvedre, is very elegant but evolved and supple, with beautiful kirsch and black currant fruit intermixed with licorice, camphor, pepper, and a hint of lavender. More evolved than the 2007 was at a similar stage, but with slightly lower alcohols, its velvety tannins stand out in this rich, plush, opulent, voluptuously textured wine. Drink it over the next 7-10 years."(93pts)4 bottles per lot $350-480

14789 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. It shows remarkable intensity and fabulous balance. 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)1 magnum per lot $200-280

14791 Saxum Red - Vintage 2010Broken Stones(Wines Located in New York)"...a gorgeously pure array of black raspberry, charcoal, licorice, lavender, and assorted floral qualities on the nose.

14792 Saxum Red - Vintage 2011Heart Stone Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The 2011 Heart Stone Vineyard is a blend of 58% Syrah, 37% Grenache and 5% Mourvedre that was brought up in mostly concrete, with 20% in puncheons. Showing beautifully from barrel, it didn't disappoint from bottle and has a perfumed, elegant feel to its

purple fruits, lavender, violets, white pepper and underbrush-like aromas and flavors. The whole cluster inclusion shows here, yet it has fantastic purity, fine tannin and integrated acidity. Give it another year in the cellar and enjoy bottles through 2025."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $160-220

14793 Saxum Red - Vintage 2012Heart Stone Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The 2012 Heart Stone Vineyard is 43% Syrah, 41% Grenache and 16% Mourvedre that was aged mostly in concrete (the '11 was aged 100% in concrete) yet also saw some new and neutral puncheons. Fermented with 40% whole clusters, it's a big, burly effort that has beautiful creme de cassis, black raspberry, crushed violets, vanilla bean and exotic flower-like qualities all emerging from the glass. It too has a structured feel, with high, yet ripe tannin, so short-term cellaring is also advised here."(96pts)3 bottles per lot $240-320

14795 Saxum Red - Vintage 2013Heart Stone Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Checking in as a final blend of 54% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 11% Mourvedre, the 2013 Heart Stone Vineyard shows the class and purity of the vintage in its complex, floral-laced aromas of dark fruits, spice and minerality. Full-bodied, seamless and silky, with no hard edges and terrific purity, it's another 2013 from Smith that will open up with another year in bottle."(95pts)4 bottles per lot $320-420

14796 Saxum Red - Vintage 2013Terry Hoage Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Lastly, the 2013 Terry Hoage Vineyard is a forward, exotic effort that's made from 57% Syrah, 29% Grenache and 14% Mourvedre. It is one of the more fresh and lively wines in the lineup, with notes of passion fruits, jolly rancher, plums, spice and green herbs (Justin always finds a touch of watermelon rind from this site). This beauty is full-bodied, silky and beautifully textured on the palate, with impeccable balance and a great finish. Drink this puppy anytime over the coming decade or so."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $180-240

14798 Saxum Red - Vintage 2014Broken Stones(Wines Located in New York)"Blended of 41% Syrah, 13% Mourvèdre, 19% Grenache, 16% Petite Sirah, 8% Tempranillo and 3% Roussanne, the 2014 Broken Stones has a deep garnet-purple color and exuberant black and blue fruit notes with suggestions of raspberry pie, potpourri, spice cake and fallen leaves, plus a waft of chocolate box. Full-bodied and full-on gorgeous, it fills the palate with soft, sexy fruit and plush tannins, finishing on a spicy note."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $480-650

14800 Saxum Syrah - Vintage 2011Bone Rock(Wines Located in New York)"Decidedly cool climate in character, the 2011 James Berry Vineyard Bone Rock comes from steep, terraced plots of old head trained Syrah vines that, in 2011, wasn't harvested until November. Co-fermented with a splash of Roussanne and Mourvedre, it's a spectacular effort that makes the most of the cool, long growing season. It's also the most long term prospect in the lineup. Offering up a tight, Cornas-like bouquet of black and blue fruits, white pepper, spring flowers and salty minerality, it is full-bodied, beautifully concentrated and seamless on the palate, with ultra-fine tannin and building richness that only starts to develop with a healthy decant. It's a gorgeous wine, yet needs to be forgotten for at least 4-5 years. It should drink nicely through 2031."(98+pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

14801 Saxum Syrah - Vintage 2011Broken Stones(Wines Located in New York)"The brilliant 2011 Syrah Broken Stones comes from a cooler block of the James Berry Vineyard and checks in as a blend of 78% Syrah, 18% Mourvedre and 4% Petit Sirah. Relatively forward (especially when compared to the locked up Bone Rock), with fabulous purity and freshness, it exudes notions of creme de cassis, blueberry, pepper, crushed flowers and sweet oak on the nose. Full-bodied, seamless and elegant, yet with building richness and rock star length, it's an elegant version of the cuvée to drink over the coming 15 years or more."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $500-700

14806 Château Certan de May - Vintage 1988Pomerollgsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1988's dark ruby/purple color is thick and opaque (in contrast to the relatively translucent 1989). What first overwhelms the taster is the spectacular spicy, cedary, toasty, black-raspberry fragrance. The wine has that exotic, kinky, irresistible grilled or smoked meat character in the nose. This wine is crammed with black fruits that exhibit a subtle herbaceous quality. The 1988 has superb extraction of fruit, is full-bodied, and is a rich, classic Pomerol."(92pts)1 double magnum per lot $480-600

14813 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 1986St. Estephenl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"This is the most powerful and tannic Cos d'Estournel made during the decade of the eighties. The color is still an impressive, nearly opaque dark ruby/purple. Except for some subtle aromas of toasty vanillin oak and cassis, the nose is closed and unevolved. In the mouth this full-bodied wine, which exhibits no signs of evolution, is

firmly structured with medium to full-body, outstanding depth, and a hard, though not abrasive, exceptionally long finish."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

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. Full-bodied with sweet tannin, shocking concentration, and layers of fruit, this irresistible 1982 is still an adolescent in terms of its evolution."(96pts)3 bottles per lot $650-850

14824 Château Le Bon Pasteur - Vintage 1989Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"The nose offers up an interesting concoction of seaweed, salty ocean breezes, smoke, and sweet chocolate-covered cherry candy. There remains a firm, tannic edge to this medium to full-bodied wine, but it is developing considerable complexity, as well as additional richness and weight."(90pts)4 bottles per lot $280-380

14827 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 2002St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"...sweet, noble black currant fruit intermixed with some licorice, espresso roast, and pain grille.

He thinks it may be even better than his 1985. There is no doubting its awesome concentration, profound, spicy, leathery, ground beef, exotic sort of aroma, and concentrated,

medium-to full-bodied texture. It is soft, but has good, firm tannins in the finish. Drinkable early on, this wine should easily benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and should last for up to a decade."(90pts)3 bottles per lot $380-500

With enveloping richness, luscious juiciness, and flattering creaminess, yet underlain by a vivid sense of crushed stone, this saturates the palate so completely and intensely and with such a palpable sense of extract, that the finishing stain seems almost severe. This remarkably concentrated and polished wine should be worth following for 15 or more years. The 2005, too, is superb."(94-95pts)2 bottles per lot $100-140

15058 Croft Vintage Port - Vintage 19911sos (Wines Located in New York)"This impressive vintage port, from a firm that has not been numbered among the great port houses of the last century, may turn out to be the most impressive wine from Croft in decades. The healthy purple/black color is followed by copious aromas of licorice, chocolate, and over-ripe black fruits.

plenty of fruit and tannin in proper balance."(90pts)7 bottles per lot $260-350

15070 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2000Thorevilos(Wines Located in New York)"It is a dense, sweet, black currant-flavored effort with hints of scorched earth, cedar, and flowers in the background.

Made in a full-bodied, ripe, accessible style, it will provide delicious drinking over the next 8-10 years."(90pts)3 bottles per lot $180-240

15097 Pahlmeyer Red - Vintage 20052wisl, 6sos (Wines Located in New York)As for the 2005 Proprietary Red, it is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% each Petit Verdot and Malbec. While this might not be the blockbuster one would expect, there is outstanding depth, purity and overall texture and ripeness. Again, terrific acidity gives the wine vigor and precision, despite a lofty 15.2% alcohol. The wine is fresh and pure, with black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, some white floral notes, and the telltale forest floor. This is a wine to drink over the next 10-15+ years. Pahlmeyer's wines age well, as I am still working off the 1995 and 1996 Proprietary Reds, which remain in great shape.(95pts RP)6 bottles per lot $600-800

15103 Viader Red - Vintage 19912lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1991, a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Cabernet Franc, is a backward wine that exhibits considerable promise. The dark opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a bouquet that reluctantly offers up scents of cassis, herbs, and damp earth. The wine is rich, structured, and full-bodied, with copious amounts of cassis flavors, density without heaviness, and an overall sense of balance, moderate tannin, and

crisp acidity. Give it 1-2 years of cellaring; it should drink well for 10-15 years."(90pts)2 bottles per lot $100-140

15117 Clos Vougeot - Vintage 1999Vieilles Vignes, Château de la Tour3lscl, 2nl, 1lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"There is a hint of menthol to the almost aggressively spicy aromas of rose petal, earth, cassis and both red and black currants. The textured, intense and powerful large-scaled flavors possess outstanding concentration where the underlying sap does a good job of enveloping the still very firm supporting tannins on the delicious, gorgeously long and impressively well-balanced finale."(95pts BH)8 bottles per lot $2600-3500

15153 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2003cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegau1lscl, 4sdc (Wines Located in New York)"...stands out as one of the all-time great wines made by Laurence Feraud and her father, Paul. I remember first tasting it from a large tank as it was still fermenting and it was already impressive! It is a full-bodied, powerful wine that must tip the scales at close to 15.5% natural alcohol. I don't think this big, chewy, voluptuously textured wine will ever close down. Dark plum/garnet with the classic Provencal display of garrigue, lavender, pepper, kirsch and Asian plum sauce, this full-throttle wine has splendid concentration, silky tannins, and a very voluptuous texture."(98pts)4 bottles per lot $320-420

15155 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2001Les Cailloux, cuvée Centenaire, L. & A. Brunel12vlwrl (Wines Located in New York)"...boasts a dense ruby/purple color as well as a provocative perfume of incense, black tea, plums, figs, and kirsch liqueur. 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)


15158 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2000Reserve le Clos du Caillou, Le Clos du Caillou4lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Possibly the wine of the vintage is the 2000 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve Le Clos du Cailloux. I tasted this wine four times from bottle, and it has blown away some tough competition. A wealth of fruit, power, and balance, amazing purity, and a sumptuous, 65-second finish are the stuff of legends. As usual, it is a blend of 45% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, and the rest Syrah as well as miscellaneous varietals. The Mourvedre must be picked incredibly ripe as there is never any of that grape's astringency or toughness. However, being an anti-oxidant varietal, I am sure this is a sign of how much aging potential these wines possess. This is an enormous, well-delineated, superb wine. Anticipated maturity: now-2020+."(99pts)4 bottles per lot $600-800

One of the greatest Cabernet Francs to emerge from California, it boasts gorgeous notes of bay leaf interwoven with blueberries, black currants, licorice, flowers, and subtle smoke. A wine of exquisite precision, outstanding richness, astonishing elegance as well as finesse, this is a brilliant achievement that must be tasted to be believed. As the wine sits in the glass, a notion of lead pencil shavings (graphite) also emerges. Drink this beauty over the next decade."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by a sumptuously rich nose of strawberries, new saddle leather, licorice, roasted herbs, and spice.

It's a savory, complex 2011 that offers up plenty of spice, toast and cedar that's balanced by a core of sweet black

raspberry fruit that emerges with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, balanced and beautifully textured, this totally compelling red has fine tannin, serious richness and depth, and an overall classy profile.

This is another powerful, long wine endowed with exceptional definition and a dark, brooding personality. In 2009 the blend is 65% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 10% Grenache.

15231 Booker Vineyard Red - Vintage 2009Vertigo(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Vertigo is another impeccable wine graced with exquisite silky red fruit, flowers and spices, all of which meld together seamlessly in this round, harmonious wine. The balance, length and elegance on the palate are first class from start to finish. In 2009 the blend is 48% Grenache, 35% Syrah and 17% Mourvedre, aged in 60% new French oak barrels.

15252 Linne Calodo Cellars Red - Vintage 2011Cherry Red(Wines Located in New York)"Looking at the 2011 reds, the 2011 Cherry Red is a Zinfandel dominated effort that incorporates 24% Syrah and 19% Mourvedre. Coming all from the Cherry Vineyard, it is a medium-bodied, elegant effort that has juicy acidity, perfumed black cherry, dried cranberry, white pepper and bramble-driven aromatics and building richness.

perfume of black cherries, black licorice, smoked herbs and flowers. This flows to a pure, layered and sweetly fruited wine that has no hard edge, full-bodied richness and an up front, hedonistic style.

15698 Riesling - Vintage 2011Dhroner, A.J. Adam(Wines Located in New York)"Adam's "village-level" 2011 Dhroner Riesling like the previous year's is vinified half in cask, half in stainless steel and comes largely from old vines at high elevation. It's on the cusp of legal dryness and at 12% a tad lower in alcohol than the corresponding generic bottling. Luscious white peach and mango are garlanded in bittersweetly-perfumed iris and accented with toasted squash seeds and almonds along with wet stone on a buoyant, subtly satiny and waxy palate. Like this year's generic bottling, this surprises and delights in the finish with an influx of mouthwatering salinity and bright, juicy citricity as well as invigorating nips of black pepper and citrus zest. This soaring, uplifting, vibrant and refined bottling is likely to perform memorably for the better part of a decade. (Going back to taste it after two BAs, not only did it taste genuinely dry a phenomenon no longer so remarkable under those circumstances! but, more importantly, it still tasted rivetingly complex and uplifting.)"(93pts)2 bottles per lot $60-80

This is from a huge vineyard of nearly 350 acres with lots of different parcels and the famous red soils. The dense ruby/purple 2014 Monte Rosso, which is largely Zinfandel, shows terrific, briary black raspberry and black cherry fruit, superb concentration, licorice, Mediterranean herbs, meat, earth, and a peppery, spicy finish. There is a touch of Alicante Bouschet in the blend, but the Zinfandel is the dominant varietal. Virtually all of this wine is made from dry-farmed vineyards planted in the

late 1800s, and Morgan Twain-Peterson believes it can last for decades, although most of us will never be able to defer gratification from this full-bodied, ripe, heady wine that long."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $180-240

16161 La Tâche - Vintage 2005Domaine de la Romanée Contilscl (Wines Located in New York)"There is only one word to do the nose true justice and that is kaleidoscopic as the aromatic breadth here is simply dazzling with red and black cherry, cassis, plum and subtle earth notes replete with the same Asian spice cabinet aromas as the RSV displays but here the floral aspect, particularly rose petal, is much more pronounced. However, the '05 LT is almost a combination of the RSV's class, grace and sensuality and the Riche's power, taut muscularity and huge length as the overall palate impact is equivalent to a vinous bomb exploding on the cuts-like-a-knife finish that can be measured in minutes not seconds. This is structured to the point of being chewy yet it is never rustic or coarse because the gorgeously detailed palate is buffered by buckets of dry extract. As readers know, I often use the word Zen to describe the kind of inner harmony of a great vintage of Romanée-Conti but rarely with La Tâche yet in 2005, the LT has this element of inner calm and grace as well. In sum, this is a huge but

utterly classy and stylish wine that will undoubtedly go down as one of the all time great LT's."(99pts BH)1 magnum per lot $14000-18000

16162 Chambertin - Vintage 2014Clos de Bèze, Faiveley(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Faiveley's 2014 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru has a ravishing, pure and sensual bouquet with red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit laced with minerals. It needs another two or three years to fully assimilate. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine tannin, very focused and tensile with shimmering, effervescent red fruit fanning out on the finish. Stunning but it is unquestionably built for the long-term. Tasted September 2017."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $280-400

16163 Corton - Vintage 2014Clos des Cortons, Faiveley1x6 bottle banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"A fresh, cool and moderately restrained nose speaks of various red and dark berries along with plenty of iron-inflected earth, animale and pretty floral nuances. The lush, even opulent flavors certainly don't lack for size, weight and power as they coat the palate while buffering the notably firm tannic spine on the muscular, driving and wonderfully persistent finish."(93-95pts BH)8 bottles per lot $1400-1800

16164 Chevalier Montrachet - Vintage 2011La Cabotte, Bouchard, Pere et Fils(Wines Located in New York)"A soft touch of wood still allows the ripe yet very fresh aromas of apple, acacia, anise and citrus blossom to clearly be appreciated. There is noteworthy power, size, weight and muscle to the palate staining and concentrated large-scaled flavors that display an impressive amount of dry extract, all wrapped in a textured and hugely long finish. This is impeccably well-balanced and despite all of the imposing size and weight, there is absolutely no trace of heaviness."(94pts BH)2 magnums per lot $1200-1600

There is both style and grace present, which is doubly unusual for both the appellation and the vintage and this far surpasses the average '92 today."(93pts BH)

16171 Château Latour - Vintage 1990Pauillac2lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"This is one of my favorite wines ever. Full-bodied, with layers of silky fruit and masses of currant, mineral and berry character. Amazing. It is a wine with perfect structure, perfect strength. It s 1961 Latour in modern clothes. It is hard not to drink it now."(100pts WS)2 bottles per lot $1400-1800

16172 Château Pétrus - Vintage 1989Pomerol1hstl, 1tal (Wines Located in New York)"Multi-millionaire collectors will have fun comparing the 1989 and 1990 Pétrus. The 1989 has a slightly more saturated color, and seems more tightly knit both aromatically and on the palate. However, this is splitting hairs, as this is another stunningly opulent, rich, full-bodied, amazingly concentrated, exotic, flamboyant Pétrus that remains remarkably youthful, and in need of more years of bottle age. Additionally, the tannins are slightly more elevated, at least from a tactile impression. However... extraordinary equilibrium between all of its component parts. An amazing effort!"(100pts)1 bottle per lot $3500-5000

16173 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2003Sauternes1lstl, 1nl, 1spc (Wines Located in New York)"Subtle and racy, with lemon rind, vanilla cream and dried pineapple. Very spicy and intense.

Has afterburners."(98pts WS)4 magnums per lot $1600-2200

16174 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2005Sauternes1x1 Imperial banded 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. The palate is virtually identical to last year's bottle: exquisite balance and perfectly judged acidity, but perhaps just gaining a little richness and viscosity over the last 12 months."(97pts)1 Imperial per lot $1800-2400

16175 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2007Sauternes1x12 bottle banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"...shines like a diamond. Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of lemon curd, Mirabelle, and clear honey. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine definition and there seems to be a great deal of energy and vigor dispensed for your pleasure. There is such race and nervosity, and then that finish just purrs with harmony and focus."(98pts)12 bottles per lot $2200-3000

16176 Château Haut Brion Blanc - Vintage 1985Graves2lbsl, 2lfl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1985 Château Haut Brion Blanc is candidate for the best dry white Bordeaux produced that decade - period. Having tasted this nectar two or three times in recent months, I can vouch for its extraordinary intensity on the nose: candied orange peel, citrus lemon, cold wet limestone and honeysuckle notes that shimmer in the glass. It almost has a Chablis-like penetration imagine if Raveneau made white Bordeaux. The palate is perfectly balanced and after 30 years, it as fresh as a daisy, citrus fresh, with a killer line of mineralité, squeezed lime and an almost slate-like note (try licking some to see what I mean no one will look). The tension, the depth and length of this Haut Brion Blanc are as good as you will find...if you can find it nowadays. Simply breathtaking, anyone with bottles in their cellar will be handsomely rewarded for their patience. Tasted August 2015."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $2000-2800

16177 Château Laville Haut Brion - Vintage 1995Graves(Wines Located in New York)"Solid Laville. Plenty of toasted oak and ripe fruit. Full-

16178 Château Laville Haut Brion - Vintage 2006Graves(Wines Located in New York)"An absolutely staggering vintage for this historic and tiny estate, this 2006 has a huge nose of tropical fruit, including pineapple, as well as a liqueur of minerality, with quince, white citrus, and a hint of subtle toast. Full-bodied, with huge concentration, an almost flinty mouthfeel, zesty acidity, and a monster finish..."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $700-900

16179 Château Laville Haut Brion - Vintage 2008Graves1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"...revealing lovely lemon blossom, orange marmalade, candle wax, honeysuckle and hints of smoky oak.

16188 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 19663bsl, 3hscl, excellent color (Wines Located in New York)"A completely wonderful wine that almost reduced a good friend of mine to tears. It is full of life and vigor. Similarities to Krug '66 are many. The nose is elusive and appetizing with lots of fruit aromas from apricot and peach to mango. Weak tones of chocolate, nuts, oak, and coffee are there too, of course. In the mouth one can perceive the finest marmalade and small uplifting bubbles.

This surreal, beautiful Champagne reveals striking purity and clarity in its suggestions of honey, roasted nuts and sweet fruit in a style that recalls a mature grand cru Burgundy at its finest. The aromas and flavors are at once mature yet fresh, very much on the "grey" side of the spectrum Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy likes to talk about. Simply put, readers who can find and afford this sensual wine should not hesitate. It is a masterpiece."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $2400-3200

Remarkably fresh for a 26 year-old wine, the 1990 Collection captures the Krug house style at its very best. Floral notes meld into hints of apricot, chamomile, orchard fruit, vanillin and sweet spices. On the palate, the 1990 is creamy, vivid and super-expressive, but what is most intriguing is how fresh the Collection is relative to Vintage Champagne, which has always been a

heavier, more oxidative wine. Readers who can find the 1990 should not hesitate, as it is stellar."(97pts VM)3 bottles per lot $1600-2000

16205 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1996Rose3fl (Wines Located in New York)"Bright, amber-tinged pink with pinpoint bubbles. Deep, smoky and complex, with a kaleidoscopic bouquet incorporating wild strawberry, peach, apricot, chestnut honey and cured meat. A firm, strikingly concentrated mid weight with powerful flavors of orange peel, raspberry, redcurrant, baking spice and smoked meat and gentle supporting acidity. Smoky, sweet and long on the back, with a slowly building impression of acidity that suggests this will be a long ager. "(95pts VM)3 bottles per lot $1200-1600

It will be a Champagne to enjoy for many years to come and is arguably the Champagne of the vintage."(96pts JK)2 bottles per lot $1000-1400

16207 Louis Roederer Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2008Cristal12x1 bottle ogb's (Wines Located in New York)"Let's start describing the 2008 Cristal technically first. It is a 60/40 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from 36 plots in seven grands crus: Verzy, Verzenay, Beaumont and Aÿ for the Pinot Noir and Mesnil, Avize and Cramant for the Chardonnay. Twenty-five percent of the wine was fermented in oak, and 16% underwent malolactic fermentation to moderate the fresh acidity of the 2008 vintage. The assemblage was bottled in May 2009. After 8.5 years on the second lees (longer than any Cristal before), the first release was disgorged in September 2017 with a relatively low dosage of 7.5 grams per liter."(97+pts)12 bottles per lot $2200-2800


16208 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2001Greppo, Riserva, Biondi Santi1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"A dark, translucent red, it reveals superb freshness in its aromatics, with notes of small red fruits, spices, flowers, mint and anise that you could get lost in. It is perhaps less rewarding on the palate today, but its class is amply evident in the purity of its fruit and silkiness of its tannins. This is a wine built for tertiary development that will occur over the following years and decades."(94pts VM)6 bottles per lot $2000-3000


16210 Barolo - Vintage 1998Capalot Delle Brunate Riserva, R. Voerzio1x3 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"Impressively saturated ruby color, among the darkest nebbiolo bottlings I saw in the Piedmont in September. Brilliant, primary aromas of cassis and black raspberry. Amazingly dense and sweet in the mouth, with sappy flavors of black raspberry and spices. Like a solid, but sound acidity gives the flavors shape and grip. Finishes with extraordinary persistence and big, harmonious tannins."(94-97pts VM)3 magnums per lot $900-1200

16212 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2014Sauternes1x6 bottle banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"The Château Yquem 2014 was picked over 9 weeks this 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)6 bottles per lot $1500-2000

16213 Y de Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2015Bordeaux Blanc1x6 bottle banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"No, not a 2016, but since it is the vintage currently for sale, then I will publish my review of the 2015 Ygrec here. The Sauvignon Blanc (75% of the blend) was picked quickly from 25-27 August this year, the Sémillon on 3 and 4 September. It has six grams per liter of residual sugar and the pH, a sizzling 3.20. It has an intriguing bouquet of melted wax, white flowers and hints of sea spray, that marine influence becoming quite strong with aeration. The palate is fresh on the entry with fresh ginger and lemongrass, lively in the mouth with shades of orange rind and sour lemon towards the persistent finish. I would afford this several years in bottle and I suspect you will end up with a very

distinctive dry Bordeaux from the most famous Sauternes estate."(92pts)6 bottles per lot $600-800

The '71 is full of such aromas. The taste is slightly thinner than the '73 and without its walnut tones, but the aftertaste is actually longer. Better and more impressive almost every time I taste it."(96pts RJ)1 magnum per lot $1600-2400

16220 Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005Kayli Morgan Vineyard3bn, 2lbsl, 1x3 bottle owc (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)3 bottles per lot $900-1200

16227 Château Ausone - Vintage 2009St. Emilion1x1 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"A masterpiece in the making, proprietor Alain Vauthier's 2009 Ausone boasts a dense purple color along with notes of powdered chalk, crushed rocks and wild blue, red and black fruits. Extravagantly rich with great minerality, precision and freshness as well as a voluptuous texture (unusual for a baby Ausone), this is an extraordinary wine. Sadly, there are fewer than 1,200 cases ... for the world. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2060+"(98+pts)1 magnum per lot $1600-2000


16229 Château Ausone - Vintage 2010St. Emilion1x3 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"...struck me as another brilliant, potentially perfect wine, which should come as no shock to people who have been following Vauthier's work over the last decade or more. Backward and intense, this wine offers up notes of crushed chalk/rock mineralilty interwoven with blueberry, black raspberry and cassis as well as some graphite and vanillin. It is incredibly rich but at the same time precise, fresh and vivacious."(98+pts)3 magnums per lot $5000-7000

16230 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1982St. Julienbsl, 1x1 Jeroboam owc (Wines Located in New York)"At a charity dinner in Charleston, SC, the 1982 Ducru Beaucaillou from my cellar was the only corked bottle out of twenty-two. A subsequent tasting revealed one of

the all-time great Ducrus, probably matched or eclipsed by several recent vintages (i.e., 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008). The 1982 is still 5-8 years away from full maturity, but it exhibits a dense ruby/plum/garnet color to the rim 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. Release price: ($140.00/case)"(96pts)1 Jeroboam per lot $2000-3000

16231 Château Giscours - Vintage 1975Margauxbn, hbsl, wasl, excellent color (Wines Located in New York)"The 1975 Giscours is one of the outstanding successes for the vintage. Close to full maturity, itexhibits a powerful, well-balanced style. The color remains a healthy dark garnet. The wine possesses rich, concentrated fruit, full body, admirable ripeness, and an overall sense of balance despite strong tannin in the finish. This thick, rich Giscours may be the finest wine made between 1970 and 1994."(92 pts)1 bottle per lot $70-100


16232 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1961Graves5cm bc, hbsl, wasl, cuc, dc, illegibly pitted cork, believed to be 1961, excellent color (Wines Located in New York)"The dark garnet-colored 1961 Haut-Brion is pure perfection, with gloriously intense aromas of tobacco, cedar, chocolate, minerals, and sweet red and black fruits complemented by smoky wood. This has always been a prodigious effort (it was the debut vintage for Jean Delmas). It is extremely full-bodied, with layers of viscous, sweet fruit. This wine is akin to eating candy. Consistently an astonishing wine!..."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $2000-2800

16236 Château La Conseillante - Vintage 1982Pomerol4bn, 2ts, 6bsl, 6hbsl, 12wasl, 1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The nose offers La Conseillante's tell-tale aromas of black-raspberries, creamy, toasty new oak, and flowers. The perfumed aromas are followed by a smoky, roasted wine with gobs of rich berry fruit, medium to full body, low acidity, and heady alcohol in the lusty finish. It is a wine for hedonists."(95pts)12 bottles per lot $4000-6000

16237 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1975Graves1ts, 2vhs, 1lstl, 1nl, excellent color (Wines Located in New York)"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)3 bottles per lot $2400-3500

16238 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1982Graves(Wines Located in New York)"A thick, unctuously-textured wine with massive richness as well as abundant notes of black fruits, truffles, creosote, scorched earth, smoke, and camphor, a colossal mouthfeel, a layered texture, incredible depth of fruit and glycerin, and copious, but well-integrated tannins that are largely concealed by the incredible amount of fruit. An old school La Mission, it is a tour de force that should continue to age effortlessly for another 40+ years."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $1800-2400

16239 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1989Graves(Wines Located in New York)"I am certainly not going to argue with anyone who believes La Mission-Haut-Brion's 1989 is every bit as profound as the 1989 Haut-Brion. It is a spectacular wine, and as it ages in the bottle, it is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite La Mission-Haut-Brions, ranking alongside the 1982, 1975, 1961, 1959, and 1955. The 1989 boasts a dense, thick, purple color, followed by a sweet, roasted cassis, chocolatey-scented nose with whiffs of tobacco, tar, and minerals. The wine is extremely full-bodied, unctuously-textured, sweet, jammy, and rich. Although it is still a youthful, unformed wine, it is already delicious to drink."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $2000-2800

16242 Château Lafleur - Vintage 1986Pomerol8bn, 2ts, 6sdc, 1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in NewYork)"Ironically, I had the same bottle Tuesday for lunch at Matsuhisa (thank you my friend - you know who you are!). The bottle at Matsuhisa was a lot tighter than this one, no doubt due to the lack of proper aeration that was allowed the bottle at Valentino's...this '86 actually had ripeness in the nose - kirsch, soy, mocha...still a tannic monster - the fruit was shy on the palate at first but got better in the glass...nice balance overall."(95pts JK)6 bottles per lot $3000-4000

16243 Château Lafleur - Vintage 2006Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"...reveals a plum/purple color along with a beautifully sweet nose of black and red fruits intermixed with incense as well as a steely/iron-like smell. More open on the palate than the 2008, with more obvious spice and earthy undertones, this powerful Lafleur should be drinkable in 5-7 years, and will last for three decades."(95pts)1 magnum per lot $900-1200

16244 Château Latour - Vintage 1959Pauillacvhs, bsl, cuc, Nicolas bottling, rebouchee en 1988, outstanding color (Wines Located in New York)"After nine bubblies and whites, it was time for some reds. The Good Doctor set a high bar when he said that the 1959 Latour was one of the best bottles of Latour I've ever tasted.' He was absolutely right; I seconded that emotion! This was a perfect bottle that was so sweet (in the right way) and so rich with loads of great spice. Dusty, long, thick and smooth, the crowd cooed chocolate' and cassis.' This was a gritty and exciting wine. I often say that I usually prefer the '59 Latour these days to the '61, and this bottle was Exhibit A-Z."(99pts JK)1 bottle per lot $2200-3000

16246 Château Latour - Vintage 2000Pauillac2scl (Wines Located in New York)"A young wine that electrifies every taste bud in your mouth.

Best Latour since 1990."(100pts WS)3 bottles per lot $2200-3000

16247 Château Le Tertre Roteboeuf - Vintage 1990St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"The 1990 has been so stunning the last several times I tasted it, that it is inching its way up the scoring ladder. In fact, I am close to running out of points. The sweet nose of coffee, jammy berry fruit, smoke, caramel, and spice soars from a glass of this marvelously concentrated, viscous, layered, smooth wine."(98pts)6 bottles per lot $1400-1800

16250 Château Margaux - Vintage 2005Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"Black in color, delivering extraordinary aromas of blackberry, raisin, spices and fresh mushroom. Full-bodied, with an amazing core of ripe fruit, yet ultrabalanced and finely textured. Touches every taste bud. This incredible young red spent two years in new wood, but you can t tell. It's all glorious fruit. A legendary wine."(100pts WS)6 half-bottles per lot $1800-2400

16251 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 2006Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"...possesses extraordinary purity and clarity. A large-

scaled, massive Mouton Rothschild that ranks as one of the top four or five wines of the vintage, it may turn out to be the longest-lived wine of the vintage by a landslide. The label will undoubtedly be controversial as a relative of Sigmund Freud, Lucian Freud, has painted a rather comical Zebra staring aimlessly at what appears to be a palm tree in the middle of a stark courtyard. I suppose a psychiatrist could figure out the relationship between that artwork and wine, but I couldn t see one. This utterly profound Mouton will need to sleep for 15+ years before it will reveal any secondary nuances, but it is a packed and stacked first-growth Pauillac of enormous potential."(98+pts)1 double magnum per lot $1800-2400

16253 Château Pétrus - Vintage 2005Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"A sleeping giant. Dark ruby in color, showing aromas of blackberry, c pe and green olive, with a hint of mineral. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a supercaressing mouthfeel. Turns to coffee, dark chocolate and berry. Chewy yet balanced. Very, very long in the mouth.

16258 Château Clinet - Vintage 1990Pomerol1tc (Wines Located in New York)"A sensational effort, and one of the two finest Clinets made before the 2008, this prodigious wine made by the late Jean-Michel Arcaute has always been a sprinter out of the gate. Even at age 19, it continues to strut its stuff. A dense blue/garnet/purple hue exhibits slight lightening at the edge, and the gorgeous nose offers up aromas of sweet blueberries, licorice, smoke, acacia flowers, and camphor. Full-bodied with silky tannins, low acidity, and terrific purity, this 1990 has hit its plateau of full maturity where it should remain for another decade.Release price: ($425.00/case)"(97pts)3 bottles per lot $750-1000



16260 Château Clinet - Vintage 1993Pomerol6bn, 12lbsl, 1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1993 Clinet should rival the 1993 Pétrus (perhaps the strongest candidate for the wine of the vintage). Given its black/purple color and huge, ripe, pure nose of black-raspberries, licorice, vanillin, and sweet truffle scents, Clinet is one of the most concentrated wines of the vintage, with an inner-core of sweet, expansive, intense fruit, medium to full body, noticeable, firm tannin, and a long, closed but rich finish."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

16266 Château Grand Puy Lacoste - Vintage 2005Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"...exhibits classic Pauillac aromas and flavors of creme de cassis along with stony/floral notes. Proprietor Xavier Borie has created a wine that should rival the brilliant 1982, 1990, 1996, and 2000.

16267 Château Talbot - Vintage 1986St. Julien2ts, 2vhs, 4hs, 8sdc (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)8 bottles per lot $1200-1600

16270 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1990Château de Beaucastel(Wines Located in New York)"Two great back to back vintages are the 1990 and 1989. The more developed 1990 boasts an incredible perfume of hickory wood, coffee, smoked meat, Asian spices, black cherries, and blackberries.

Beaucastel that will last another 15-20 years."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $320-450

16271 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Château de Beaucastel(Wines Located in New York)"...has turned out even better out of bottle than I predicted.

16272 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2009cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegau(Wines Located in New York)The opaque purple-colored 2009 exhibits magnificent, rich berry fruit intertwined with cedar, Christmas fruitcake, licorice, charcuterie, roasted meats, smoked duck, kirsch, blackberries and god knows what else. It is an amazingly complex, rich, full-throttle wine that reminds me somewhat of what the 1990 tasted like in 1994/1995. It is a magnificent Châteauneuf du Pape.

This is another luxurious, exceptionally concentrated and loaded wine with great intensity, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, unbelievable amounts of blackberry, cassis and blueberry fruit, crushed rock minerality, and a floral note.

Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors.

The wine exhibits notes of forest floor intermixed with chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, espresso, and spice. It is strikingly more tannic, and closed compared to the 2005, which is almost the reverse of the vintage character. There were only 2,000 cases produced of the 2004, which needs 2-3 years of bottle age and should drink well for 15+ years."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $1400-1800

16313 Peter Michael Chardonnay - Vintage 1994Point Rouge2nl (Wines Located in New York)"On January 17, 1997, a Belgian wine merchant held a comprehensive tasting of virtually every Montrachet at the Crillon Hotel in Paris. In addition to myself, Pierre Rovani was the only other American in attendance. The group was evenly split between members of the Belgian/French wine trade and private consumers. I was permitted to insert several top California Chardonnays in the tasting as "ringers." I provided the Peter Michael Chardonnay Pointe Rouge and the 1992 Mount Eden Estate Chardonnay. The tasting was impeccably organized, with the wines served blind in multiple flights. The results, although not unbelievable to me, were shocking to the group of serious Belgian and French wine tasters. Two of the French tasters were well-known winemakers. One of them who asked to remain anonymous proclaimed that in large part, the group of Montrachets was "a crime against France's patrimony." The group overwhelmingly rated the Peter Michael Chardonnay Pointe Rouge the top wine."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $600-800

It boasts honeyed citrus, orange, tangerine, liquid mineral, and smoky hazelnut aromas.

16325 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2006Clos des Papes, P. Avril(Wines Located in New York)"...is one of the two or three candidates for the wine of the vintage. An extraordinarily great wine, the 2006 is far superior to the 2005, which was amazing, and while made in a different style, is as great as the 2003, and such legends as 1990 and 1978. Fashioned from a minuscule 21 hectoliters per hectare, and tipping the scales at 15.2% natural alcohol, the 2006 boasts a dense ruby/purple color to the rim, in addition to an extraordinary bouquet of melted licorice, spring flowers, raspberries, black currants, spice box, and earth.

The wine is rich and full-bodied, with excellent definition, and a powerful, chewy finish. The tannin is present, but it is riper and better integrated than in the 1992. This wine will be accessible young, but capable of lasting for 15 years. Merryvale's finest red wine is their proprietary wine called Profile. While the blend varies from year to year, most vintages contain between 30%-40% Merlot, about 10% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon.

16344 Kistler Chardonnay - Vintage 1997Vine Hill(Wines Located in New York)"The 1997 Chardonnay Vine Hill Road Vineyard (from both Hyde and Dijon Burgundy clones) is a more restrained wine with noticeably higher acidity. It reveals suggestions of cold steel, wet stones, and that liquid minerality found in certain Chardonnays. Medium to full-bodied, with excellent depth, and more austerity and backwardness than its siblings, it will benefit from another year of cellaring, and keep for 6-7 years."(91-92pts)1 bottle per lot $30-50

16348 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2003(Wines Located in New York)"Quilceda Creek s Cabernet Sauvignon is the winery's raison d'etre and is produced in significant quantities (3,400 cases in 2002, 3,425 in 2003). For accomplishing this feat the Golitzens should be doubly proud. Darker colored and significantly more powerful than the 2002, the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon displays mouth-watering aromatics of black chocolate, sage, and blackberry

liqueur. Its awe-inspiring core of cassis liqueur, violets, blueberry nectar, black cherry syrup, and chocolate is immensely muscular yet elegant.

Richly textured, dense and with a provocative meaty/earthy/savory, the palate is complex and layered revealing menthol and ripe black fruit notes interplaying with firm, velvety tannins through to a very long, opulent and harmonious finish.

The wine possesses a fabulous texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a seamless integration of tannin, acidity and alcohol."(95pts)9 bottles per lot $550-750

16361 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Reserve Auguste Favier, Domaine St. Prefert

1ltl (Wines Located in New York)"Also rock-star stuff, the 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve Auguste Favier gives up plenty of sweet blackberry, sugar cured meats, licorice, toasted spice and butcher shop-like aromas and flavors to go with a full-bodied, sweetly-fruited, fabulously dense and layered palate."(96pts)10 bottles per lot $500-700

16362 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Vieilles Vignes, Domaine de la Janasse4lscl (Wines Located in New York)"Its inky/purple color is followed by a phenomenal nose of spring flowers, creme de cassis, blackberries, boysenberries, licorice, truffles, and spice. Displaying massive body, incredible freshness, laser-like focus from the excellent acids, and a finish that goes on well past a minute, this prodigious Châteauneuf du Pape is the most extraordinary wine yet made at this estate. "(100pts)8 bottles per lot $1200-1600

16363 Barolo - Vintage 2005Percristina, Clerico1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Barolo Percristina is gorgeous. 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 $400-600

16364 Barolo - Vintage 2010Pajana, Clerico1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"...hinting at ripe, musky plum, black raspberry, menthol and tobacco.

_____________________________

16365 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1982Gravesvhs, lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Flamboyant aromas of smoked meat, leather, truffle and burnished oak. Intensely flavored and penetrating, with strong acids giving the flavors terrific cut and grip. My second bottle showed even more extravagantly expressive aromas of hot stones, tobacco, minerals and marzipan; a denser, silkier palate impression, with more obvious roasted Graves character; and an uncanny combination of sheer sweetness with structure and grip."(96pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $650-900

16368 Château Malescot St. Exupery - Vintage 2000Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"This estate, which has continued to impress me in recent years, hit a home run in 2000. Showing slightly better than I rated it previously, this wine is deep bluish/purple with some lightening at the edge, and its floral nose displays notes of melted licorice, crushed rock, blueberries and black raspberries. A wine of extraordinary balance, equilibrium, and purity, with supple tannins, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated effort is already compelling and has hit its window of full maturity, where it should stay for another 15-20 years."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $70-100

16381 Hermitage - Vintage 1997La Chapelle, P. Jaboulet(Wines Located in New York)"The wine looks impressive, with a viscosity and unctuous richness. There is amazing fat and chewiness, as well as spectacular aromatics of over-ripe black currants and blackberries intermingled with barbeque spices, soy, and jammy black fruits. The tannin seems lost in the wine's full-bodied, silky-textured, voluptuously rich, staggeringly concentrated style. The mid-palate explodes with sweetness, glycerin, and extract. The finish lasts for 40+ seconds."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $220-300

16396 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2004

Oberhauser Brucke, Donnhoff1wc, 1sos (Wines Located in New York)"From the 2004 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Spatlese rise aromas of honey, grapefruit, candied lemon and blueberries. Blue fruit and honey are poured over the palate as well, creamy and rich, yet animated by insistently bright citricity, high-toned esters of distilled berries, nippy notes of invigoratingly tart fruit skin, and mineral salts. The finish is a veritable fugue of intricate flavors, exhibiting astonishing clarity and length. Less ethereal than the Norheim Spatlesen, this is uncanny in its balance and complexity and, given the proclivities of young Spatlese from this site, certainly a bit behind the other Spatlesen of this collection in its development."(94+pts)4 bottles per lot $120-160

16397 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2004Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg, Donnhoff(Wines Located in New York)"The 2004 Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Spatlese reminds one of the amazing potential inherent in this less-than-famous site. Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, flowers, key lime, and honey lead into a palate that is creamy, faintly oily, liqueur-like in its ultra ripe blue and black-fruited intensity, and compelling in its sheer purity and richness of fruit. The long finish incorporates a smoky, possibly site-typical pungency."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $55-75

16398 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2004Schlossbockelheimer Kupfergrube, Donnhoff2scl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)"Donnhoff's 2004 Schlossbockelheimer Kupfergrube Riesling Spatlese offers an almost fiery spice to go with its aromas of distilled tiny-berried raspberries and blueberries. Somehow, the expression "copper flashing" comes to mind for this wine named for a former copper mine. The palate offers a liqueur-like intensity of berry essences with amazing density and finishing with claw-like grip and tactile pungency. "A whole nother world from Norheim, isn't it?" remarks Donnhoff."(92pts)4 bottles per lot $160-200

16400 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2001Urziger Wurzgarten, J.J. Christoffel(Wines Located in New York)"Flowers intermingled with limes can be discerned in the nose of the 2001 Riesling Auslese Urziger Wurzgarten. Light to medium-bodied and satin-textured, it is a soft, harmonious wine loaded with sweet citrus

fruits, tangy minerals, and spices. Refined, it is graceful and feminine, yet rich. Drink it between 2008 and 2018."(92pts)9 bottles per lot $260-350

16401 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2001Wehlener Sonnenuhr, J.J. Prum1bn, 2wc (Wines Located in New York)"Piercing scent of slate, then the palate is awash in peach, pear and lime notes, intricately layered in the dense, yet clear texture. Beautifully defined by a firm, well-integrated structure, with an endless finish."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $450-600

16402 Riesling Kabinett - Vintage 2001Wehlener Sonnenuhr, J.J. Prum(Wines Located in New York)"Deep, intense smoky mineral aromas are intermingled with talcum powder and poached pears in the aromatic profile of the 2001 Riesling Kabinett Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Armed with the richness generally associated with a Spatlese (or higher!), this penetrating, ethereal wine coats the taster's palate with lush, silky waves of red currants, honeysuckles, pears, and raspberries. As is typical with wines from this estate, this offering reveals some trapped CO2, which adds to its lively, gorgeously precise and refined personality. Drink it over the next 10 years."(92pts)5 bottles per lot $200-280

16405 Solengo - Vintage 1995Argiano(Wines Located in New York)"A full-blown Italian red that knocks your socks off with exuberant fruit and wood. Shows wild aromas of berries, crushed raspberries and mint, with chocolate and toasted oak undertones and is soft and long, with gorgeous milk chocolate and berry flavors. Full-bodied, extremely velvety in texture. Better in 1999. Debut release of this blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese."(94pts WS)2 bottles per lot $120-160

16406 Barbaresco - Vintage 1996Santo Stefano di Nieve, B. Giacosa1bn (Wines Located in New York)"The newly-released 1996 Barbaresco Santo Stefano is spectacular. The tight, youthful 1996 requires 3-4 more years of bottle age. The color is a dark ruby/garnet. The bouquet is just beginning to open, revealing scents of dried Provencal herbs, cherry liqueur, tobacco, spice box, and white truffles. In the mouth, the wine is stunningly concentrated, extremely full-bodied, with high tannin, and fabulously pure, sweet, cherry cough

syrup-like, licorice, smoke, and dried herb flavors. The finish lasts for over 45 seconds although this 1996 is still young and tight. It should enjoy a glorious evolution. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2030."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

16409 Barbaresco - Vintage 1995Vigneto Gallina, La Spinetta(Wines Located in New York)"This deep ruby-colored wine possesses superb fruit, not a great deal of power or volume, but gorgeously layered, soft flavors that offer up gobs of cherry fruit intermixed with cedar, tobacco, smoke, and dried herbs. It finishes with no hard edges. Drink it over the next several years."(91pts)3 bottles per lot $130-180

16410 Sassicaia - Vintage 1995Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)"...boasts a nearly opaque ruby/purple color, as well as a knock-out nose of lead pencil, pain grille, minerals, licorice, and black currants. As the wine sat in the glass, violet/floral notes began to emerge. In the mouth, it is a tightly-knit and tannic, but superbly concentrated as well as remarkably pure. It possesses that sweet, rich mid-palate that often distinguishes great wines from merely good wines. The finish lasts for over 30 seconds."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $350-480

16411 Sassicaia - Vintage 2010Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)"...brings back some of the brambly rosemary and wild Mediterranean brush that was missing in 2009. This will greatly appeal to enthusiasts of Sassicaia's trademark elegance. The wine shows extreme purity that brings its many beautiful aromas into startling focus and clarity. Lingering tones of black fruit and Oriental spice add subtle shades at the back."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

16412 Sassicaia - Vintage 2011Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)"Ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors pick up rosemary, mineral and spice accents in this red, which is concentrated and intense, fresh and focused. Racy midpalate, this leans toward black currant and cedar

notes on the solid finish."(95pts WS)1 bottle per lot $110-160

16450 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994(Wines Located in New York)"... is one of those rare wines that possesses awesome aromatic, flavor, and texture dimensions. Totally dry, it comes across as sweet because of its highly extracted, ripe fruit. Opaque purple/black-colored, with a knock-out nose of black fruit (cassis and black-raspberries), this wine hits the palate with phenomenal concentration that brilliantly manages to be neither heavy nor overbearing. Plenty of velvety tannin is concealed behind the fruit's remarkable intensity. The wine's purity, presence, and finish are unbelievable.

16451 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1995(Wines Located in New York)"The full-bodied, opaque purple-colored 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a sweet fragrance of jammy cassis and wild blueberries, intertwined with floral and mineral scents. The effect of the 100% new Taransaud French oak barrels is minimal given the fact that only a background note of toast/pain grillee is noticeable. On the palate, the wine is extraordinarily dense and rich, but neither heavy nor flabby. With its remarkable purity, delineation, and layers of rich, concentrated fruit, this appears to be one of the superstars of the 1995 vintage."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

16452 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2000(Wines Located in New York)"...amazing tour de force. Quality like this was rare, if not impossible to obtain in 2000.

The color is an opaque black/ruby/purple, and the amazing aromatic concoction includes notes of melted licorice, minerals, smoky toast, and blackberry as well as cassis liqueur. Full-bodied, thick, and juicy, it is a voluptuous effort..."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

16453 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2002(Wines Located in New York)"It exhibits a classic Bryant profile of blueberries, blackberries, chocolate, and smoky notes (100% new Taransaud barrels are utilized), a full-bodied, powerful palate, great texture, tremendous purity, and a long,

The 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a richer, more complete wine than the 1990, with exceptional ripeness and richness of fruit, full body, and additional complexity and personality. It is a youthful, tannic, large-scaled Cabernet Sauvignon that needs another 2-3 years in the cellar. It should keep for two decades. Interestingly, there were 2000 cases produced in 1991. Tel.

A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc that spends 36 months in barrel prior to being bottled without fining and filtration, it is a beautifully fashioned, smoky, rich, super-concentrated, thick effort loaded with black cherry, cassis, earthy, smoky, toasty oak aromas and flavors as well as a full-bodied, unctuous finish. This terrific Cabernet requires another 3-4 years of cellaring; it should keep for two decades."(93pts)1 Imperial per lot $350-500

A serious, concentrated, opaque purple-colored effort, it boasts a moderately intense nose of pure cassis, gravel, vanillin, and blackberries.

This medium to full-bodied offering possesses outstanding purity in addition to well-integrated tannin, acidity, and wood.

16468 Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1993Napa Valley1bn, 1bsl (Wines Located in New York)"Although closed, the 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon is crammed with so much sweet, blackcurrant fruit that it does not take a genius to figure out what this wine is all about. It offers an opaque garnet/purple color, a moderately intense, cassis, smoky, herb, and earthy nose, fabulous concentration, good muscle, and a boatload of sweet tannin. While drinkable, it needs another 4-5 years of cellaring. It will easily last for 20 years. The 1993s and 1994s are in bottle, and the 1993s, which were released several months ago, are disappearing before any bottles hit the retail shelf. Readers who could neither afford nor find the Cabernet Sauvignon or Maya Proprietary Red, will have to wait another ten months for the release of the 1994s. Production at Dalla Valle has dropped, largely because of the phylloxera damage to the vineyard, and the consequent replanting. For example, the production in 1993 was 40% less than that in 1992. The quantities of wine in 1994 will be equally small. Not until the late nineties is production expected to return to its former level."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $90-130

With an opaque purple color, a high tannin level, and gorgeous layers of fruit and intensity, it will be at its peak after 4-6 years of cellaring, and will last for 20-25 years. I don't think I need to reinforce the fact that these offerings are extremely difficult to find, but isn't that the way it always is with such extraordinary wines?"(94pts)1 bottle per lot $75-100

Yet, they lack neither concentration nor richness. Those of us who have been cellaring Dunn's wines for twenty years, waiting for them to reach maturity should be thrilled by this new development. The Howell Mountain is denser and richer with blacker fruits as well as more body. Both are full-bodied, powerful Cabernets very much in keeping with his style.

This classic, rich wine, with a sweet, ripe mid-palate, displays a full-bodied, layered, super-concentrated personality. Although still a baby in terms of development, it is remarkably successful because of the ripe tannin, high glycerin, and intensity of fruit.

16615 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 19971sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon has to be one of the great buys left for profound Napa Cabernet. He's done the aging for you, and of course the wine is still an adolescent in terms of aging potential. Brilliant notes of cedar, spice box, cassis, smoke, and licorice soar from the glass, as if this wine were pretending to be a first-growth Pauillac. Full-bodied, powerful, still with a boatload of tannin to resolve, and just a faint lightening of the dense purple color at the rim, this is a brilliant wine from a vintage that produced relatively quick-evolving wines, but no such thing is tolerated at Philip Togni. This is a great Cabernet Sauvignon with the exuberance, purity, and richness of fruit that Napa provides, but with a Bordeaux structure that Togni, with his Bordeaux upbringing, somehow builds into the wine. This wine will continue to drink well for at least another 30+ years."(98pts)5 bottles per lot $550-750

(Wines Located in New York)

" 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (14.7% natural alcohol) is an equal part blend of Napa and Sonoma fruit. There is no doubting the Cabernet Sauvignon in this wine! Classic notes of cedarwood, underbrush, licorice, black currants and tobacco leaf are textbook definitions of this varietal. The color is even denser than the Reserve Claret's, and the bouquet offers additional notes of Chinese black tea. Elegant with great acid as well as stunning concentration, richness and a full-bodied mouthfeel, this is another world-class effort that pushes the envelope toward perfection. It is a remarkable success for the vintage."(99pts)3 bottles per lot $300-400






(Wines Located in New York)"The two flagship wines of this brilliant estate, which straddles the Sonoma and Napa county lines at the top of Spring Mountain, include the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot). Sixty-eight percent of the fruit comes from Sonoma and 32% from Napa. It exhibits classic notes of creme de cassis, licorice, cedarwood, incense and a hint of toasty oak in the background. Full-bodied, opulent, profound deep, rich and full with velvety edges, the tannin can be detected, but it is wonderfully integrated in this mountain-styled Cabernet. It continues Pride's impressive track record with these special cuvées. The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve can be drunk young or cellared for two decades or more. More nuances and complexity will undoubtedly emerge over the next 4-5 years."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $480-650



1wrl (Wines Located in New York)"...reveals abundant notes of licorice, creme de cassis, unsmoked high class cigar tobacco, and toasty oak.

(Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a big, powerful wine loaded with fruit. The tannins are equally imposing. Today the wine comes across as painfully young, but the Reserve has a track record of aging beautifully in bottle, so it will be interesting to see where the 2008 goes over the coming years. Sweet mint, new leather and licorice are some of the nuances that add complexity on the focused, articulate finish. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. "(92pts)2 bottles per lot $160-220







(Wines Located in New York)"There is no question the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is the most backward and brooding of the wines I tasted from Pride. Firm tannins frame an expressive core of dark red berries, licorice, scorched earth, tobacco, smoke and incense. Today, the 2009 is far too young to offer true pleasure, but it is unquestionably striking. Hints of iron, graphite and smoke add complexity on the finish supported by huge mountain tannins. The 2009 is super distinctive and loaded with personality. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

16654 Pride Mountain Reserve Claret - Vintage 1997(Wines Located in New York)"While only microscopic quantities were produced of this wine, It is an immense wine of extraordinary concentration and depth. The compelling 1997 Reserve Claret offers an opaque purple color in addition to a sumptuous bouquet of sweet blackberries, creme de cassis, and minerals, superb richness, exceptional concentration, and huge body. However, it manages to avoid being overbearing or unmanageable. Purity and delineation are also present in this multi-dimensional, prodigious wine.

16659 Pride Mountain Reserve Claret - Vintage 2003(Wines Located in New York)"The 2003 Reserve Claret is a blend of 67% Merlot and 33% Cabernet Sauvignon that achieved 14.4% alcohol. An exquisite candidate for wine of the vintage, it comes from a vineyard high on the summit of Spring Mountain.

Eighty-three percent of the fruit comes from Sonoma and the rest from Napa County as the vineyard sits astride the county lines. Its dark plum/garnet color reveals a slight lightening at the edge. A beautiful nose of cedarwood, forest floor, red and black currants, kirsch and plum is followed by a full-bodied wine with great freshness, a rich, textured mouthfeel and sensational concentration with no heaviness.

More coffee, toffee and caramelized red and black fruit aromas jump from the glass of this dense plum/purple-colored wine. It reveals a slightly lighter edge than the Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to full-bodied with beautiful fruit, it is more compact than the Cabernet, but is also a great example of Northern California viticulture. This full-bodied beauty will benefit from another 2-3 years of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for 15-20 years thereafter."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $480-600

16664 Pride Mountain Reserve Claret - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)"This winery, sitting high atop Spring Mountain traversing both the Napa and Sonoma counties, has offered their two top cuvées in 2005 for this retrospective.

It offers a moonless, black-of-night color and notes of black truffle and burning embers, whiffs of charcoal, blackberry and cassis, and touches of chocolate and coffee. This stunningly complex, opulent, full-bodied wine seems to have approached its peak of maturity, where it should easily rest for another decade or more. With perfect concentration and a skyscraper-like palate feel with no heaviness, this wine (14.8% natural alcohol) is simply compelling in all senses.

and concentrated, the finish keeps pumping out subtle flavor nuances that have remarkable staying power."(93pts WS)2 bottles per lot $240-320


16698 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1995(Wines Located in New York)"A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, and the last wine made by Pam Starr at Rombauer Vineyards, the 1995 offers worthy competition to the magnificent 1994, which was more highly heralded. A touch of spring flowers, intermixed with Crème de cassis, licorice, lead-pencil shavings and cedar, are all present in this wine of great intensity and full-bodied power, but with an elegance and finesse that, again, similarly suggests a Château Margaux made in St. Helena. This beautiful wine should continue to drink well for another 25 years."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $200-280

16700 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1997(Wines Located in New York)"A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 1997 is just short of perfection from this great vintage in Napa Valley. A spectacular wine, it was the first made by Rosemary Cakebread. Production was quite high, as the new plantings started to fully produce, with 4,800+ cases declared. This is wine that fills the olfactory senses with gorgeous ripeness, blueberries, black raspberries, blackberries and cassis, while spring flowers and a touch of oak still lingers in the aromatics. When the wine hits the palate, the extraordinary intensity, purity and multi-dimensional complexity all seem to converge with a cascade of fruit, glycerin and richness. Like most Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignons, it is only 13.8% alcohol. This is a magnificent wine, a young adolescent in the scheme of its potentially fascinating evolution and should have a good 25-30+ years left in it although it's strutting its stuff at present. Certainly in the first two decades of Spottswoode wines this is clearly one of the most compelling efforts."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

Exceptionally full-bodied with jammy flavors, low acidity, and awesome levels of glycerin, extract, and fruit, this is a wild, unrestrained, super-concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon that should become increasingly civilized as it ages effortlessly over the next 15-20 years.

16829 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1985La Landonne, E. Guigal2bsl, 2cc (Wines Located in New York)"Once again the darkest, thickest, most powerful, and formidably concentrated of Guigal's single-vineyard Côte Rôties, the 1985 La Landonne is also the least flattering and most intimidating. Like its two siblings, it is throwing a hefty sediment, with the inside of the bottle resembling that of a 15-year-old vintage port. The color is still a murky, inky purple. The nose offers up aromas of beef blood, vitamins (iron?), minerals, smoke, and truffles. Extremely thick, full-bodied, and massive, with noticeable tannin, this monster wine reveals no hard edges, but it does possess teeth-staining extract and power. It is a remarkable effort!..."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $2600-3500

16830 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1991La Landonne, E. Guigal2bsl (Wines Located in New York)"...huge, smoky, new saddle leather, licorice, Asian spice, meaty, and cassis scents.

16831 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1985La Turque, E. Guigal2tal (Wines Located in New York)"This wine, Giugal s first effort from this vineyard, has already received deity status in western European wine circles. Only three hundred and thirty-three cases were produced, and if one were to kill for a wine, this might be the one to do it for. It meets, then exceeds, all parameters for judging wine calling it great seems somehow woefully inadequate. It has the power and enormous concentration of La Landonne, as well as the sheer, decadent, self-indulgent pleasures of the voluptuous La Mouline. It is the quintessential Côte Rôtie."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $2600-3500

16832 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1991La Turque, E. Guigal2bsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1991 La Turque behaves as if it wants to be the northern Rhône's answer to Richebourg and Musigny. However, with the exception of Domaine Leroy, you cannot find a Richebourg or Musigny with the richness and complexity possessed by this awesome wine. The saturated dark purple color is followed by a wine that is

surprisingly lighter in the mouth than its great flavor intensity and rich extraction would suggest. It is a winemaking tour de force in that Guigal has been able to cram phenomenal levels of fruit, complexity, and richness into this velvety-textured wine without causing it to taste heavy."(99pts)2 bottles per lot $1400-1800

16833 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1999La Turque, E. Guigal(Wines Located in New York)"This wine is perfect. It is undoubtedly the greatest vintage for Guigal since 1978. Take all the characteristics I described for the wines in 1998 and 1997, then add an ethereal lightness of character, surreal aromatics, and a seamlessness that is uncanny given the massive richness and layers of flavors this wine possesses. The explosive aromatics tend to be more exaggerated in 1999. The wine is more evolved and seductive than the 1998s, but its aging potential should not be underestimated. It has at least two decades of life. In short, Guigal has performed a classic hat trick in 1999 with his La La's."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $1200-1600

since it was first bottled. Displaying a floral note, with hints of boysenberries, black raspberries, black currants and a touch of background oak, the wine has superb concentration and density, but still has some substantial tannins that are not yet fully resolved.

3lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"Production: 24,000 cases; Alcohol: 14%; Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon; Harvest Dates: September 12 to October 11. A bountiful, nearly perfect crop of consistently high quality grapes was created by flawless weather with moderate, but steady temperatures throughout the summer and beautiful weather in September and October. The result is a great vintage in both quality and quantity. The fruit came from five separate vineyards, Bancroft Ranch and Tre Colline on Howell Mountain, Chabot and St. Helena Home Vineyard, and for the first time, a small portion came from the Marston Ranch on Spring Mountain. Still densely purple-colored, the 1997 exhibits wonderful plum, blackberry, cedar, spice and subtle smoky oak notes, a gorgeously opulent texture, full-bodied power and hints of roasted espresso and white chocolate in the flavors. This beauty can be drunk now and over the next 12-15+ years. One of the all-time great Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserves, it also has the highest production to date of this cuvée."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $260-350

The 2003's opaque purple color suggests a wine much younger than ten years of age. Copious amounts of creme de cassis, graphite, spice box and a whiff of new saddle leather result in a classic, authoritative, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with no hard edges. This big, mouthfilling, textured, multidimensional Cabernet still tastes like an adolescent, and is capable of lasting another 15-20 years.

This has gorgeous notes of fig, plum, blackberry, cassis, with no real oak showing through, at least at age ten. Low in acidity, opulent, sexy and fresh, it is indeed a beverage of pleasure, and Chuck Wagner certainly knows how to deliver it in spades. This full-bodied, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon will age easily for another 10-15 years, but why wait? It is that stunning at present."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $260-350

You know, she might be right. Here, it is very pure and winsome on the nose: blackberry, raspberry, ripe Satsumas and just a touch of peach perhaps the most exotic nose among the flight of Nuits-Saint-Georges tasted here but still in keeping with what you expect. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, good substance and density, fresh and lively and perhaps my only quibble being that I would have liked more sustain on the aftertaste. Otherwise, this is another excellent Nuits-Saint-Georges that will give many years of pleasure. Please accept my generous score. Tasted September 2017."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $450-600

Grand Vin, State Lane Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The perfect 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard is 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot aged 20 months in 100% new French oak. I think this is the third perfect score I've given to this wine, which is the essence of their vineyard, representing about 13% of the total production, or a mere 320 cases. The wine has a gorgeously opaque purple color and a beautiful nose of camphor, charcoal, blackberry and cr?me de cassis with licorice and truffle. It has unbelievable richness, great texture, tremendous finesse, precision and delineation. Very intense, full-bodied and super-pure, the length of the wine must be at least 50+ seconds. This is a gorgeous wine and one of the great superstars of this fabulous vintage. Drink it over the next 25-30 years."(100pts)3 bottles per lot $800-1100


Rapszodia(Wines Located in New York)"A great effort and a showcase for Cabernet Franc is the 2012 Rapszodia. This is a blend of 90% Cabernet Franc from the heavy clay soils of their vineyard blended with 10% Merlot aged in 100% new French oak for 20 months and bottled without filtration. A stunning nose of acacia flowers, blueberry liqueur and blackberry is followed by a medium to full-bodied wine that's amazingly intense, rich and concentrated, but surprisingly light on its feet weight-wise. The wine is full-bodied, but stunningly ethereal and sublime. This is a stunner, and a great example of what Cabernet Franc can do from a terrifiCôterroir, great winemaking and élevage. Sadly, only 175 cases were produced. Look for this wine to continue to drink well for up to two decades."(98pts)4 bottles per lot $750-1100

16912 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 1996St. Estephe1wisl, 1vlscl (Wines Located in New York)

"Saturated deep ruby. Ineffable aromas of black fruits, minerals, licorice and Havana tobacco. Rich, dense and thick; powerful but harmonious. Layered texture over a strong backbone. Very long on the palate, with thoroughly ripe, noble cabernet tannins. Superb."(94pts IWC)3 bottles per lot $420-550

16913 Château Grand Puy Lacoste - Vintage 2000Pauillac1lwrl, 1sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2000 Château Grand Puy Lacoste is an exceptional wine from Xavier Borie. It has a brilliant nose of blackberry, crushed stone, graphite and cedar. Putting it to one side for ten to 15 minutes reveals subtle mint-like aromas that whisk you straight to Pauillac. The palate is smooth and silky, cloaking the tannic frame of this GPL so that you barely notice it. But that will stand it in good stead for the long-term, the cornerstone of all great wines from this estate. Then there is that hint of spice on the aftertaste the show ain't over yet. Served alongside a magnum of Pichon Baron 2000, I would say that at the moment, it does not quite possess the same level of precision. However, it remains a magnificent Pauillac to cherish long-term. Tasted January 2016."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $180-240

16914 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 2001Graves1wrl, 1sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Perhaps one of the more overlooked vintages in recent years, the Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2001 is one of the finest wines of the vintage. Here, one is immediately taken aback by the precision exuded by the nose: small dark cherries and orange blossom still there, perhaps the mineralité more heightened than ever. The palate displays exquisite balance with nigh on perfect acidity, demonstrating more tension, if not the dimension of the 1990 tasted alongside. This is a serious La Mission for long-term aging. Tasted June 2014."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $350-550

16915 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 2000St. Julien4sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The saturated purple-colored 2000 Leoville Barton is one of the greatest wines ever made at this estate. The wine has smoky, earthy notes intermixed with graphite, camphor, damp earth, jammy cassis, cedar, and a hint of mushroom. Enormous, even monstrous in the mouth, with tremendous extraction, broodingly backward, dense flavors, and copious tannins, this should prove to be one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage and one of the most compelling Leoville Bartons ever made."(96pts)4 bottles per lot $450-600

16916 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 2003St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"Incredible nose of crushed berry, licorice, violets and

lightly toasted oak. Pure Crème de cassis. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Solid."(97pts WS)3 bottles per lot $450-600

16917 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 2005Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Displays very beautiful aromas of crushed blackberry and dark chocolate, with a hint of coffee. Full-bodied, with a tightly wound palate of ripe tannins. Long and caressing."(93pts WS)6 bottles per lot $750-1000

16918 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 2009Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest largely Merlot with touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it is an expressive, voluptuously textured effort with unctuosity and powerful, juicy, succulent blackberry and black currant flavors, low acids, a layered, massive mouthfeel, but no sense of heaviness or fatigue."(98pts)6 bottles per lot $800-1100

16919 Château Montrose - Vintage 1996St. Estephe2nl (Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at the vertical in London, I have instead used the tasting note from a bottle opened at the property when I visited just a couple of weeks later. The 1996 Montrose is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot picked between 23 September and 6 October. It was served alongside the 1986 Montrose, however, this is a far better wine and reconfirms Robert Parker's remarks at his own vertical at the property in 2014. For me, it is that loamy character that defines the nose freshly tilled, damp soil that tinctures the black fruit that takes you straight to this particular château. This is classic through and through and very well defined. The palate is wonderful with very fine delineation, pitch-perfect acidity, touches of graphite infusing the red and black fruit that dovetails into a very pretty, floral finish. This is clearly one of the great wines of the 1996 vintage and I would be stocking up as much as I could, because it will give 30-40 years of pleasure. Tasted July 2016."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $750-1000

16920 Château Pape Clement - Vintage 2005Graves1vlstl (Wines Located in New York)"Owned by Bernard Magrez, this great terroir a few miles from Haut Brion and La Mission Haut Brion has produced one of the superstars of the vintage. A blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, Pape Clement's 2005 has an opaque purple color and smoky barbecue and chocolaty notes intermixed with cassis and blackberries. There is also some underlying minerality in this full-bodied, super-concentrated wine, which has wonderfully sweet, well-integrated tannins.

This majestic, multidimensional wines is one of the great, great wines of the vintage. It should drink well for at least another 25 years."(99pts)3 bottles per lot $400-600

16921 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2000Pauillac1nc (Wines Located in New York)"A spectacular effort clearly my favorite vintage of this wine since the 1989 and 1990. An inky purple color offers up notes of barbecue spices intermixed with new saddle leather, creme de cassis, melted licorice, creosote, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied, tremendously concentrated, with sweet tannin and a seamless finish that goes on for close to one minute. This wine has great purity, tremendous texture, and fabulous upside potential."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $320-450

16922 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2001Pauillac1vlscl, 1sdc (Wines Located in New York)"...exhibits class/nobility/breed along with black currant liqueur, licorice, and incense notes. Sweet, expansive, fleshy, and medium to full-bodied, with good structure, ripe tannin, and a long, 30-35 second finish, it can be drunk now, but will be even better in 2-3 years..."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $300-400

16923 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1985Pauillac2vlstl, 1sdc, 1nc (Wines Located in New York)"Still incredibly youthful. Exhibits fabulous aromas of fresh fruit, minerals and chocolate with a hint of spice. Full-bodied and concentrated, with loads of fruit and tannins."(96pts WS)2 bottles per lot $320-420

16924 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1990Pauillac2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Concentrated. Medium-ruby color, with ripe plum, cigar tobacco and smoke aromas. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish."(94pts WS)4 bottles per lot $500-700

16925 Beaune Greves - Vintage 2005N. Potel(Wines Located in New York)"Potel's 2005 Beaune Greves from vines planted in 1904 offers aromas of distilled plum, violet, and ocean breeze, a palate with the same silkiness as the Teurons, mingling plum, floral inner-mouth perfume, and pan drippings, and superb length of chalk, salt and meat reduction."(92pts)3 bottles per lot $100-140

16926 Solaia - Vintage 2007Antinori1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"...saturates the palate with a heady array of super-ripe black cherries, plums, cassis, mocha and sweet French

oak. There is an exotic quality to the Solaia I find totally irresistible. Despite its considerable ripeness and opulence, the 2007 Solaia is never heavy, rather it impresses for its extraordinary finesse and balance. Minerals, graphite and crushed rocks frame a long, seductive finish."(97pts)6 bottles per lot $1000-1600

16927 Tignanello - Vintage 2009Antinori(Wines Located in New York)(94pts)6 bottles per lot $450-600

16928 Tignanello - Vintage 2010Antinori1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Firm yet sweet, silky tannins form the backbone for this gorgeous, vivid wine. Dark red cherries, plums, cloves, mint and sage inform a Tignanello that impresses for its delineation, nuance and power. Clean, saline notes support the mineral-drenched finish. The 2010 isn't huge, but rather is a vertical wine endowed with tremendous energy and vibrancy. I can't remember a Tignanello with this much crystalline tension and pure energy. Simply put, the 2010 Tignanello is a magnificent, towering wine from Antinori."(96pts VM)6 bottles per lot $500-700

16929 Sassicaia - Vintage 2005Tenuta San Guido1x6 bottle owc (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)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

16930 Sassicaia - Vintage 2006Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)"...may very well go down as one of the all-time great recent vintages for this Tuscan thoroughbred. The year started off very warm but by August evening temperatures had moderated, leaving the fruit with a stunning combination of ripeness, perfume, acidity and tannin. The wine is simply glorious, that s all there is to it. Layers of dark fruit meld into smoke, leather, violets, menthol, earthiness and tar as this profound wine opens up in the glass. The creamy, silky finish lasts an eternity, as waves of fruit caress the tannins with breathtaking elegance."(97pts)6 bottles per lot $1100-1500

16931 Sassicaia - Vintage 2007Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)"...explodes onto the palate with masses of rich, opulent fruit that caress the palate with gorgeous length and a seamless beauty that is hard to fully capture. Dark wild

cherries, plums, spices, minerals and herbs develop in the glass. This is an especially bold, perhaps slightly uncharacteristic Sassicaia in its extroverted personality, but it is beautiful all the same. The inner perfume and sweetness carries through the long finish, where the sheer weight and glycerol of the fruit leaves a lasting impression."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $1000-1400

16932 Sassicaia - Vintage 2008Tenuta San Guido1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Bolgheri Sassicaia is a wine without a winemaker. The last vintage made by Giacomo Tachis was 2007 and incoming enologist Graziana Grassini claims 2009 as her first vintage. Within the context of this retrospective, the 2008 vintage opens a new chapter, because it is the first wine to show evident tertiary definition and complexity. In fact, the wine performs beautifully with an exalted performance and ethereal aromas. They include cassis, wild berry, crushed mineral, licorice, petrol and grilled herb. This wine is really coming together now and is entering a very exciting moment in its drinking life. It boasts finesse, elegance and grace. Yet, it also shows unmistakable richness and structure that gives the wine an enormous presence in terms of mouthfeel. This was one of the top highlights of the retrospective."(97pts)6 bottles per lot $1000-1400

16933 Sassicaia - Vintage 2009Tenuta San Guido1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Layers of fruit saturate the palate as the 2009 explodes from the glass with a heady melange of dark berries, plums, menthol, licorice and new leather. This is an especially racy Sassicaia."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

16934 Sassicaia - Vintage 2011Tenuta San Guido1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors pick up rosemary, mineral and spice accents in this red, which is concentrated and intense, fresh and focused. Racy midpalate, this leans toward black currant and cedar notes on the solid finish."(95pts WS)6 bottles per lot $700-1000

16935 Sassicaia - Vintage 2012Tenuta San Guido1x6 bottle banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"...presents a soft, velvety mouthfeel with plump cherry, fruity berry, blue flower and spice. Perhaps it shows more simplicity overall, but it does so with an impressive sense of harmony and confidence. This is not one of the great vintages of Sassicaia, but the wine flaunts its considerable pedigree nonetheless."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $750-1000

16936 Château Cheval Blanc - Vintage 1966St. Emilion

hs, gsl, lscl, nc (Wines Located in New York)"Following from a delicious half-bottle in February, the Château Cheval Blanc 1966 put in another impressive performance just a few months later. Served blind, it has a typical bouquet for the vintage: tobacco and cigar box, the fruit in the background, tertiary and classic in style. The palate is very well balanced and errs more towards the Left Bank than the Right Bank: structured, firm, aloof but compelling. This is a sublime expression of Cheval Blanc and it deserves to be drunk over the next 8-10 years. Tasted September 2014."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

16937 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1953Pauillacms, stl, tl, ll, spc, illegibly faded vintage cork branding, good color (Wines Located in New York)" It offered a deep ruby color with some amber at the edge. Exotic aromas of soy, new saddle leather, cassis, herbs, and spices leaped from the glass. Sweet and fat, with voluptuously-textured fruit, this low acid wine had no noticeable tannin."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $800-1100

_____________________________

16938 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 1982St. Julien3vlscl, 1nl, 2spc (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)3 bottles per lot $950-1200

16939 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1995Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"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. Exquisite on the palate, this full-bodied, layered, multidimensional one of the vintage's most extraordinary success stories."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $380-550


16940 Penfolds Grange - Vintage 1988bn (Wines Located in New York)"This wine shows a syrupy Crème de cassis, earthy note, some pepper, and caramel. It is somewhat soft and accessible for such a relatively young Grange, but there is plenty of structure and tannin in the finish. It is certainly perfumed and more evolved than some of its siblings that are actually older, chronologically

speaking. This wine has sweet, full-bodied, plum, cherry, and cassis flavors, with some distinct truffle and asphalt notes."(91pts)1 bottle per lot $320-450


_____________________________

16942 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1998Pauillacnc (Wines Located in New York)"...spectacular since birth, putting on more weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored close to perfection. The spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky, mineral, and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass. The wine is elegant yet profoundly rich tannin is sweet, and the wine is spectacularly layered yet never heavy. The finish is sweet, super-rich, yet impeccably balanced and long (50+ seconds)."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

16943 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1998Pauillaclbsl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"Composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 1998 Mouton Rothschild is deep garnet-brick in color with lovely Crème de cassis, dried roses, hoisin and baking spice notes with underlying notions of dried cherries and mulberries plus touches of wood smoke, incense and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and packed with rich fruit framed by firm, chewy tannins, it is stacked with complex, evolving flavors and finishes with incredibly long-lasting perfumed notes. According to winemaker Philippe Dhalluin, this needs about three hours of decanting at this stage. I simply love the place this wine is in right now, possessing plenty of mature, tertiary characters yet still sporting bags of fruit. It won't be fading anytime soon either and should cellar nicely for 20-25+ more years."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $450-600

16944 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 1990Pertimali (Angelo Sassetti)3bn (Wines Located in New York)"Both the 1990 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva and the 1990 Brunello di Montalcino are full-bodied, expansive wines offering dark ruby colors, spicy, cedar, tobacco, and fruitcake-scented noses, and sensational attacks. Even more noteworthy is their length, which unfolds and expands impressively."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $450-600

16945 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 1991Pertimali (Angelo Sassetti)(Wines Located in New York)"It exhibits a deep ruby/garnet color, a fragrant, licorice, smoky, roasted meat and herb-scented nose, sweet, black-cherry, tobacco, cedar, and animal-like flavors, dense concentration, and a long, surprisingly

soft, velvety-textured finish. I was surprised by how forward, delicious as well as complex this 1991 Brunello already is."(90pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400

16948 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 1995Pertimali (Angelo Sassetti)1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Proprietor Sassetti's 1995 Brunello di Montalcino is one of the finest tasted from the vintage. The dark garnet/ruby color is followed by complex characteristics of cedar wood, dried tobacco, licorice, Asian spices, and black cherry/currant fruit. Generous and full-bodied, with sweet fruit, light to moderate tannin, and a long finish..."(91pts)12 bottles per lot $600-850

16949 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 1998Pertimali (Angelo Sassetti)1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Typical of the vintage, the 1998 Brunello di Montalcino is forward, with a gorgeous perfume of roasted herbs, saddle leather, asphalt, truffles, spice box, and sweet cherry as well as currant fruit. Round, generous, and complex, but extremely accessible and evolved..."(91pts)12 bottles per lot $400-600


16951 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 1999Pertimali (Angelo Sassetti)1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Deep red. Ineffable, deep aromas of wild strawberry, blackberry, espresso, underbrush and sweet oak. Densely packed and sweet, with strong minerality contributing to the impression of extract. A big, mouthfilling wine that's rich and broad but also quite vibrant. Finishes impressively long and bright, with horizontal, very fine tannins."(93+pts VM)12 bottles per lot $950-1200

16953 Chambertin - Vintage 2002Clos de Bèze, A. Rousseau(Wines Located in New York)

"Black raspberry, licorice and chocolatey oak on the nose. Offers compelling lushness, sweetness and fat for a 2002; wonderfully harmonious from the outset. Very suave, clearly defined flavors of blackberry and blueberry retain their shape through to the very long aftertaste. Tannins are quite fine."(94+pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $2000-2800

16954 Chambertin - Vintage 2014Clos de Bèze, A. Rousseau(Wines Located in New York)"A brilliantly discreet spicy nose consists of sandalwood, essence of black cherry liqueur, violets and a hint of the sauvage. There is seriously good size, weight and power to the imposingly scaled flavors that display almost painful intensity on the driving, explosively long and very firmly structured finish where a pleasing bead of minerality appears which helps to add lift to the finish."(97pts BH)1 bottle per lot $1200-1600

16955 La Romanée - Vintage 1996Bouchard, Pere et Fils(Wines Located in New York)"Fresh and still entirely primary, elegantly perfumed violet and black fruit aromas introduce round, sweet, brilliantly delineated middle weight flavors of considerable breed and class and delivers a racy, long, stunningly pure finish."(93pts BH)3 bottles per lot $2400-3200

16956 Charmes Chambertin - Vintage 2001C. Dugat(Wines Located in New York)"Distinctly black aromas of violet, bitter chocolate and licorice. Less expressive today than the Lavaux but lush, dense and sweet. Wonderfully expansive for the year, but not at all heavy. Finishes very sweet and perfumed, with fine, thoroughly buffered tannins and superb persistence. A very primary 2001 that will repay seven or eight years of cellaring."(94pts IWC)5 bottles per lot $1500-2000

16961 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 1999Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in New York)"Massive notes of blueberry and blackberry jam yet there is a certain austerity to the nose followed by flavors that are huge, firm, reserved and extremely dense and while there is a solid underpinning of tannin, they are wrapped in sappy velvet. The length is just flat out stunning and very powerful."(93pts BH)3 bottles per lot $1300-1800

16962 Musigny - Vintage 1999Vieilles Vignes, Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in New York)"...wonderfully complex aromas of a simply incredible array of black fruits, earth, spice, crushed herbs and notes of chocolate with flavors that are huge but fine, powerful but subtle and rich yet detailed with a stupendously long finish that offers intense minerality. This is genuinely stunning juice and not to be missed if you have the chance."(96pts BH)3 bottles per lot $3000-4000

16963 Corton - Vintage 2014Domaine de la Romanée Conti1x6 bottle banded owc (Wines Located in New York)"A notably floral nose consists of ripe plum, spice and plenty of earth while being trimmed in all-but-invisible oak. There is good power and muscle to the generously proportioned and notably rich big-bodied flavors that culminate in a robust finish that offers fine depth and length."(93pts BH)6 bottles per lot $6000-8000

16964 Romanée Conti - Vintage 2014Domaine de la Romanée Conti(Wines Located in New York)"This is notably less expressive but not necessarily mute with its restrained aromas of red currant, anise, close, hoisin, sandalwood and once again Asian-style tea, all of which is trimmed in nuances of rose petal and lavender. The remarkably intense and beautifully well-detailed middle weight flavors possess a completely different texture before culminating in a stony, powerful, focused and explosively long finish that delivers sneaky good length because just as it appears to be dying away, it reappears."(97pts BH)1 bottle per lot $12000-16000

16965 Clos des Lambrays - Vintage 2009Domaine des Lambrays(Wines Located in New York)"An intensely floral and spicy nose that is wonderfully elegant and admirably pure speaks of red currant, blue berry, game, smoke and warm earth. The silky-textured, precise and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors possess copious extract that does a fine job of buffering the very firm tannins and allowing for perfect balance on the mouth coating and impressively persistent

finish."(93pts BH)3 magnums per lot $1200-1600

16966 Clos de Tart - Vintage 1999Domaine du Clos de Tart(Wines Located in New York)"The 1999 Clos de Tart is certainly outstanding and potentially exceptional. It displays a gorgeous nose of rich plums, sweet black cherries, candied blueberries, and loads of spices. Medium to full-bodied and opulent, this is a lush, deep, and fresh wine. Its velvety-textured flavor profile is crammed with blueberries, red cherries, and blackberries that seem to burst in the mouth, revealing their sweet, refreshing juices, in a way not dissimilar to the finest 1996s. It also displays complex nuances of spices, oak, and hints of orange zest. This marvelous wine should be at its peak of maturity between 2005 and 2012. Bravo!"(93-95pts)6 bottles per lot $2200-2800

16968 Chambertin - Vintage 2015Clos de Bèze, Fourrier2x3 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"Discreet wood does not interfere with the clear expression of the wonderfully spicy red currant, black cherry and softly earthy-scented nose. There is much more refinement to the powerful, intense and moderately dense flavors that delivers excellent complexity and outstanding length. A wine of class and grace."(92-95pts BH)6 bottles per lot $2400-3200

16969 Griottes Chambertin - Vintage 2006Fourrier1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"An implosive concentration of dark cherry, blackberry, licorice, brown spices and black pepper marks the nose and palate of Fourrier's 2006 Griotte-Chambertin, which for all of its (in this vintage uncommon) density and sheer ripeness preserves buoyancy and clarity, letting a shower of spices, flowers, and crystalline, chalky mineral nuances burst forth in its finish. This is one of those wines that seems as though a complex chemical equation should exist to describe the catalytic, energy-releasing reaction among its parts. But there is more finesse and mystery hidden behind this wine detonative finish than tasters will ever get to the bottom of, with or without the assistance of mathematical models. I would wait at least a half dozen years to broach a cork for now, the Clos St.-Jacques is more enticing, yet it too needs time and would plan on this Griotte being a 15 or more year keeper and as such one of the longest-lasting monuments to a vintage whose potential for beauty is probably destined to remain forever under-rated."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $3200-4200

16970 Richebourg - Vintage 1990Gros Frere et Soeur1gsl, 1lwrl, 1nl, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Bernard Gros' 1990 Richebourg is similar in style to the 1990 Clos de Vougeot. An amazingly rich, voluptuous, thick, chewy wine, it is bursting with black fruits and toasty new oak.

16972 Charmes Chambertin - Vintage 2002cuvée de Tres Vieilles Vignes, J. Roty(Wines Located in New York)"The nose seems to be taken directly from extract of cassis as the aromas are so ripe yet incredibly fresh and possess an extraordinary panoply of secondary nuances, including earth, underbrush, leather, soy and spice. The powerful, indeed forceful flavors coat and stain the palate and completely buffer the solid tannic spine. In short, this is flat out incredible juice and worth a special search to find.

16977 Richebourg - Vintage 2015

Méo-Camuzet(Wines Located in New York)'The 2015 Richebourg Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet, a little earthier than the 2015 Cros Parantoux, more reserved and statesmanlike, though at the same time it shows impressive clarity and gains stature with every swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with superb, quite robust tannin that lend this Richebourg the arching structure that can define this vineyard. There is some some new oak to be absorbed on the finish, but there is great density and length. Does it have the flamboyance of the Cros Parantoux? Let's see - my bets are with the premier cru at present. I suspect that this will be an imposing Richebourg with time, as Jean-Nicolas Méo himself commented.''(94-96pts)2 bottles per lot $3000-4000

16983 Vosne Romanée - Vintage 2009Les Malconsorts, S. Cathiard(Wines Located in New York)"A highly perfumed nose of classic Vosne-style spice and ripe black fruit is trimmed in quite generous wood treatment that for the moment is borderline too much. Like the '09 Vosne villages, this is definitely on the robust side with powerful middle weight plus flavors that possess excellent concentration on the tightly focused and solidly structured and mildly austere finish

that delivers explosive and striking length."(94pts BH)3 bottles per lot $1800-2400

16986 Meursault - Vintage 2006Les Tessons, Clos de Mon Plaisir, Roulot(Wines Located in New York)"Ripe yellow plum, orange, and peach allied to notes of crushed stone and pungent, resinous herbs on a lushly textured, creamy, yet refreshing palate make Roulot's monopole 2006 Meursault Tesson Clos de Mon Plaisir slightly less rarified and more typical of its appellation and vintage than other wines in this collection. With a combination of amplitude, grip, mineral presence, and vivacity, the finish here is very impressive."(90-91pts)2 bottles per lot $400-600

16991 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 1993Case Basse, Solderalscl (Wines Located in New York)"The dark plum/garnet-colored 1993 Brunello di

Montalcino offers up a knock-out nose of fruitcake, Asian spices, incense, flowers, red and black fruits, earth, and minerals. It is one of the most complex bouquets I have ever smelled in a wine. In the mouth, it is sweet, ripe, and round, with exceptional purity and ripeness, but, surprisingly, not the weight one would associate with such a provocative and persistent fragrance. Medium-bodied, with a gorgeously layered, supple texture, it should drink well for a decade or more."(90pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

His parcel of vines abuts Grands Échézeaux at the top of the Clos. This is a superb red Burgundy by any standard of measurement. The nose offers up copious quantities of ripe red and

black fruits intermingled with scents of herbs, earth, and spices. Superbly concentrated and full-bodied, it is dominated by quantities of sweet, voluptuous fruit. This multi-layered wine, with an underlying tannic firmness, can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15 years. A beauty! "(93pts)6 bottles per lot $1100-1500

It is full-bodied, with an incredible bouquet of liquid minerals, licorice, honeysuckle, citrus, and a hint of tropical fruits. One-hundred percent new oak aging has been completely absorbed by the wine's fruit and glycerin.

Mocha, espresso, plums, cloves and licorice flesh out in the 2010 Onda. Rich, voluptuous an intense, the 2010 is a great choice for drinking over the next handful of years. 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. Onda is made from the second selection of fruit and/or barrels from Helms, Hershey and Lotus, plus fruit from a fourth site, Crystal Springs Vineyard, which sits just below Lotus."(93pts VM)3 bottles per lot $450-600

They produce this wine from gravelly and sandy soils, of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. Attractive, soft cassis and tobacco-leaf notes mixed with licorice and spice are present in this dense ruby/plum wine. It is medium-bodied with soft tannin and a relatively smooth, velvety texture, finish and opulence, giving this wine an up-front appeal, although it should age nicely for 12-15 years."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $380-500

17019 Château Meyney - Vintage 2010St. Estephe1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"It is good to see this well-situated estate in St.-Estephe get back on track.

Some underlying graphite notes are also present in this full-bodied, meaty, fleshy wine, which has outstanding concentration and the potential to last for 15 or more years.

17021 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 2012Pauillac1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"This impeccably run, biodynamically farmed estate of Alfred Tesseron goes from strength to strength.

17022 Château Sociando Mallet - Vintage 2008Haut Medoc1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Performing far better from bottle than it did from cask, the full-bodied 2008 offers abundant notes of plums, blueberries and black raspberries interwoven with hints of white flowers, damp earth and background oak. This impressively endowed, muscular effort will benefit from 2-4 years of cellaring and should keep for two decades."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $380-500

17023 Clos L'Eglise - Vintage 2012Pomerol1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2012 Clos l'Eglise is a beautiful blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from Hélène Garcin (whose family owns Barde-Haut, Branon and Haut-Bergey, as well as the Malbec producer in Argentina called Poesia). She has done a phenomenal job at this estate since the late 1990s. Rich, chunky, coffee, mocha and berry fruit jump from the glass of this medium-bodied wine that shows excellent fruit intensity, soft tannins and a juicy, round, mouthfeel.

Deep, rich and concentrated, with beautiful crushed rock-like minerality, liquid violets, cassis, and black raspberry aromas and flavors, it's medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced and has building, ripe, polished tannin.

17029 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2011Signature, Domaine Barroche1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Possessing a solid ruby color, the 2011 Châteauneuf du Pape Signature is a forward, supple and sweetly fruited beauty that has lots of incense, pepper, licorice and spice in a medium to full-bodied, rounded sexy style. It's another wine that won't get much better, but should actually hold nicely in the cellar given its overall balance. Still, no need to delay gratification here."(91pts)6 bottles per lot $160-200

17030 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2015cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegau1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Now that it has been in bottle a while, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée Reservee is looking even better than I projected based on last year's prebottling sample. It's all violets, cherries, subtle allspice and clove and traditional garrigue notes of lavender and thyme. Full-bodied and rich, it's crazy complex, adding hints of tar and black olives on the long, silky finish. It should evolve beautifully over the next two decades."(96pts)12 bottles per lot $650-800

17031 Cornas - Vintage 2016Granit 60, V. Paris(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted from tank prior to bottling, the 2016 Cornas Granit 60 has the potential to eclipse the 2015. The nose is an exciting blend of flowers, minerals and fruit, while the palate is full-bodied and generous without the hardness or austerity of the 2015. This standout 2016 finishes long, plush and bright. With only about 5,000 bottles made, shrewd buyers will snap it up on release."(94-96pts)6 bottles per lot $190-240

17034 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2011Montosoli, Altesino1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli provides us with one of the most beautiful tastes of Brunello in 2011. The secret here is that fruit is sourced from the Montosoli cru in the northern side of the appellation that performed very nicely in this warm vintage. The wine reaches excellent balance between power and elegance. It leaves a statement but never feels overwhelming. That intensity is presented in terms of fruit freshness, cherry, blackberry and currant. It also comes forth as spice, tobacco and leather. The mouthfeel is exceedingly smooth and silky. The tannins are integrated and soft. Montosoli is planted to a special clone that is grafted over when the vines die. The clone has never been replaced. Because the vineyard is located on the north side of the appellation, it was protected from the heat this vintage. This wine will be released in April 2016."(93+pts)6 bottles per lot $260-320

17035 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2012Casanova di Neri1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Casanova di Neri is one of the shining stars of Montalcino. Each successive vintage released brings us renewed understanding of the focus and the dedication demonstrated by the father and son team that operates this estate. The winemaking style is impeccable and elaborate. There's a higher degree of texture and richness on display, and this is not often the case with Sangiovese. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino opens to thick layers of dark fruit, mocha, spice, leather, cigar box and pipe tobacco. A distant note of dried fruit or blackberry confit adds softness and sweetness. Give this wine a few more years to flesh out and integrate."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $260-350

17036 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2012Tenuta Nuova, Casanova di Neri1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The Casanova di Neri 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is a beautiful wine that recalls many of the stunning characteristics found in its high-scoring predecessor. I gave a perfect 100 points to the 2010 edition of this same wine. This expression, made two years later, continues in that tradition of excellence. The quality of fruit is profound and intense. The bouquet offers black cherry, spice, leather, balsam herb, cola and licorice. The complexity is absolutely impressive."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $420-600

17037 Valpolicella - Vintage 2010Dal Forno1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is more precise and focused compared to the 2011 edition that I tasted at the estate at the same time. This was not an easy vintage in Valpolicella compared to other parts of Italy that enjoyed a classic growing season. Instead, this Northern corner of Italy suffered from heavy rains and some hail damage. Overall yields were lower as a result. But the wine sings in terms of its brightness and aromatic intensity today. The expressive bouquet covers all the bases from black fruit to spice to drying mineral or flint. All of these elements conspire to bring robust flavors together with smooth and seamless transitions."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $480-600

17040 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2012Il Poggione2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Il Poggione is a Brunello superstar and a vintage like this reveals every reason why that affirmation is true. From the second the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino pours into the glass, you know you are in for something special. The wine is darkly saturated and rich in appearance. Absent are those slightly amber or browning hues you often get with Sangiovese in a hot vintage. Nor does the wine show flat or tired characteristics. Instead, the quality of fruit is vibrant and rich. This is a healthy, generous and exuberant Brunello with dark density and succulent fruit flavors that are followed by integrated spice and tobacco. The balance is impressive and one thing you get here is fresh acidity. This is not to be underestimated, because the acidity quota in the 2012 vintage across the appellation is not as high or evident as usual. This is one of the year's best Brunellos."(95+pts)

17045 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1989La Landonne, E. Guigallbsl, wisvl, scc (Wines Located in New York)"Another sensational wine is the 1989 Côte Rôtie la Landonne. Served right next to the '99 and just as deep ruby in color, it offered a classic array of truffle, underbrush, licorice, smoked meats, black olive and sweet dark fruits. Deep, concentrated, ultra-pure and with building tannin, it's a killer, fully mature Côte Rotie that will continue to knock your socks off over the coming decade or more."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $450-600

17046 Krug Champagne - Vintage NVGrande cuvée1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Such a glorious expression of Champagne, combining depth over vintages and complexity of sites to create a profound, multifaceted cuvée.

For accomplishing this feat the Golitzens should be doubly proud. Darker colored and significantly more powerful than the 2002, the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon displays mouth-watering aromatics of black chocolate, sage, and blackberry liqueur. Its awe-inspiring core of cassis liqueur, violets, blueberry nectar, black cherry syrup, and chocolate is immensely muscular yet elegant. Texturally reminiscent of liquid velvet, it slathers the palate with oodles of fruit, displaying unreal depth, balance, and length. Wow!"(100pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

17050 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Eisele Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"A compelling example of this noble terroir in the northeastern sector of Napa Valley, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard still has a dense purple color and possesses a seamless personality with spectacular notes of licorice, incense, black raspberries, black currants, crushed rock, and spring flowers.

It's a big wine with 15.2% natural alcohol. Stunning aromas of forest floor, mulberries, blueberries and blackcurrants soar from the glass of this deep ruby/purple-tinged Pinot Noir.

Ross-Seaview. This saw the lowest percentage of new oak (60%) of any of these Pinots, and possesses copious notes of redcurrants, pomegranates, cherries, Asian spices, sandalwood, and nutmeg.

Chapoutier(Wines Located in New York)"From Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah planted in a mixture of gneiss, schist, and chalk, and vinified half each in tank and barrel (demi-muids as well as barriques), the 2009 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem - due to have been bottled in May - is scented with rosemary, sage, blackberry, mulberry, which are joined on a rich, expansive palate by marrow-rich meatiness and a striking, saline, iodine-tinged savor that I can only liken to shrimp shell reduction. (It there's a wine for "surf 'n turf," it's this.) The sense of clarity, brightness, and energy here is utterly infectious and the combination of pure dark fruits, invigoratingly pungent smokiness, and saliva-inducing salinity is bound to induce hunger - among other things for the next sip. Look for at least ten or a dozen years of stimulating acquaintance."(91-92pts)5 bottles per lot $100-140

profile of cedar wood, graphite, tobacco leaf, spices, smoke, cured meat and blackberries. The palate shows very good balance and is powerful yet elegant with abundant, fine-grained tannins, bright berry flavors and a remarkable finish. This should age with style and mellow in bottle.

17164 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 2000La Landonne, E. Guigalstl, tal, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Another wine that's drinking beautifully today is the 2000 Côte Rotie la Landonne. An upfront, perfumed, complex and ready-to-drink beauty, it offers sexy notes of smoked meats, olive, game, truffle and graphite. These give way to a full-bodied, elegant Côte Rotie that has no hard edges, a soft, forward feel and a great finish. It doesn't have the sheer weight of density of a top year, but excels on its drinkability. It's a beautiful wine."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

17183 Hermitage - Vintage 2006J.L. Chavesdc (Wines Located in New York)"... reminds me of Chave s brilliant 1991. An incredibly subtle perfume of black raspberries, creme de cassis, camphor, and acacia flowers is followed by an elegant, concentrated wine with beautifully integrated acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol. This seamless, gorgeously-proportioned, large-framed wine represents the definition of finesse, elegance, and terroir."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

17184 Hermitage - Vintage 2008J.L. Chave1nl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Shows a lightly firm plum skin edge, with a briary feel to the pomegranate, black cherry pepper and tobacco notes.

17186 Hermitage Blanc - Vintage 2003J.L. Chave(Wines Located in New York)"Another sensational white that made my eyes roll back in my head, the 2003 Hermitage Blanc is even more over the top and decadent than the '09. Possessing almost no acidity, it's a flamboyant, massively concentrated, decadent and heady effort that's overflowing with notions of honey, caramelized oranges, currants, licorice and buttered hazelnuts. Staying fresh and lively, it's a monumental Hermitage Blanc that will probably live forever on its sheer concentration."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

17187 Hermitage Blanc - Vintage 2008J.L. Chave(Wines Located in New York)"Consequently, there is little of the 2008 Hermitage Blanc (which was scheduled to be bottled the week after my visit), but it is one of the finest 2008s produced in the Northern Rhône. The wine offers up scents of almond paste, brioche, white currants and quince as well as a full-bodied, concentrated personality displaying good acidity and a more forward style than either the 2009 or 2007. It is best drunk in its first 7-8 years of life."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

17188 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1998Le Vieux Donjonvlstl (Wines Located in New York)"Displays gorgeous, savage aromas and flavors, with crushed juniper berry, hot tar, sage leaf, roasted chestnut and grilled beef notes that scorch across the palate.

17189 Ermitage - Vintage 2000Le Meal, M. Chapoutier(Wines Located in New York)"Offering up honeysuckle characteristics, gobs of fruit and glycerin, and more fat than the cuvée de l Or e, it is huge in the mouth, very buttery, and is a total hedonistic turn-on. I suspect additional nuances will develop as it ages. It will provide an enormous mouthful of wine over the next 4-5 years, and should keep for 40-50 years."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

17194 Dominus - Vintage 1989lscl (Wines Located in New York)"This is undoubtedly the Cabernet Sauvignon of the vintage. The color is a dark ruby/purple and the nose offers up sweet, fragrant scents of black fruits, cedar, herbs, and spicy wood. In the mouth, there is extraordinary concentration, medium to full body, and an authoritatively rich, lingering finish."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

17195 Dominus - Vintage 1990scl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"This spectacularly complex, rich wine magically combines the finest elements of Napa Valley (strength, ripeness, and full body) with those of Bordeaux (finesse, elegance, and complexity). 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)1 bottle per lot $150-200

17196 Dominus - Vintage 1994tl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)

"...strikingly thick, compellingly rich wine with the texture of a great Pomerol, despite being made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine exhibits a dense purple color, and an incredibly fragrant nose of jammy black fruits, spice, smoke, and loamy, truffle-like scents. 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 bottle per lot $260-350

17197 Dominus - Vintage 1995(Wines Located in New York)"The color is a deep, thick-looking purple.

17198 Dominus - Vintage 1996lstl, nl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The wine exhibits an opaque dark purple color, as well as an extraordinary penetrating fragrance of black fruits, roasted nuts, fruit cake, and allspice.

Mango, apricot, pink grapefruit, and pineapple are tinged with pungent herbs, spices, and lily flower perfume, then effusively present on a palate of imposing richness yet utmost delicacy. A soaring finish incorporates hints of honey and white raisin.

The overall impression then, is quite confectionary, but there is no denying this wine's effusive personality, textural richness, or sheer length ... not to mention that it will probably live for 30 or more years, and after the first 15, the sweetness should start to back off significantly. Meantime, I'd personally rather drink the corresponding Spatlese."(91pts)3 bottles per lot $90-120

17257 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2006Graacher Himmelreich, J.J. Prum(Wines Located in New York)"The Prum 2006 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese is seductively scented with gardenia, hyacinth, and musky exotic flowers that remind me of stepping into a greenhouse. These are backed by very ripe pear and nectarine, while notes of botrytis spice also nip at the nose. A soothing, polished, enveloping, sweet and strikingly delicate palate gives equal representation to ripe, subtly-dried fruit, sweet floral inner-mouth perfume and spices. As usual at this address, retained CO2 and efficacious ripe acidity keep the long finish lively, enhancing its wafting sense of near-weightlessness. I suspect one could be happy following this for 30 or more years. (There were two bottlings of this wine one this year of which I tasted the first, A.P. #12 07.)"(92-93pts)

17259 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2005Wehlener Sonnenuhr, J.J. Prum1lwisl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese, unlike its Himmelreich counterpart, was relatively shrouded in fermentative aromas on the occasion of my tasting, but site- and vintage-typical suggestions of baked apple and vanilla were clearly in evidence, and even more so on the palate, where dripping florality, vanilla cream, and nut paste add considerable allure. The finish here is formidably long and polished, with complexities of flowers, spices, and mineral already very clearly in evidence. This is another sure bet for at least three decades of bottle maturation from an impeccably consistent source."(92-94pts)5 bottles per lot $200-260

Armed with the richness generally associated with a Spatlese (or higher!), this penetrating, ethereal wine coats the taster's palate with lush, silky waves of red currants, honeysuckles, pears, and raspberries. As is typical with wines from this estate, this offering reveals some trapped CO2, which adds to its lively, gorgeously precise and refined personality.

Notes of pineapple, brown spices, and flowers emerge with airing. The long and involved finish preserves both the sense of creaminess and an exuberant juiciness, behaving a bit like pineapple-studded nougat in an apple juice matrix, with accents of flowers, salt, and wet stones. This exhibits less sheer intensity than the corresponding Schlossberg, but with more polish and refinement.

The fruit is expressive and articulate with deep layers of blackberry preserves, dried cherry, dark chocolate, espresso bean, mesquite smoke and soy sauce. The mouthfeel is super rich and concentrated as the Dal Forno signature style would dictate. The tannic bite is still strong and this wine needs a few more years to stretch out its muscular build.

These grapes are now in the Lindes range of wines, but in the past they were blended with the estate grapes. The cool Remelluri vineyards behave very well in warmer years. This 2009 is very clean with predominant aromas of earthy red fruit intermixed with notes of vanilla and cinnamon, a satin texture with round, fine-grained tannins and quite classical and very well-proportioned style. This is a great vintage for Remelluri Reserva."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $90-120

17305 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is a more closed and restrained style of wine, with firm tannins, Bordeaux-like austerity, but dense ruby/purple with notes of menthol, black currant liqueur, coffee, and a hint of olive. The wine is full-bodied, youthful, tannic, and a promising candidate for long-term cellaring. In fact this kind of vintage at Togni generally means laying the wine away for at least a decade, which is always good advice here. This may be a 30- to 40-year Togni Cabernet Sauvignon."(92+pts)1 bottle per lot $70-90

Opaque purple-colored, it delivers a remarkable array of aromas including pain grille, violets, pencil lead, truffle, Asian spices, black currant, and blueberry. This leads to a lustrous, layered, velvet-textured wine with gobs of spicy, ripe black fruits and beautifully integrated oak, tannin, and acidity. The long, pure finish goes on for well over a minute. It will evolve for a decade and drink well through 2045."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

17310 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)"Opaque purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating, the layers of complex flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional cellaring. The oak, tannin, and acidity are beautifully integrated and the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute. Purchasers no doubt will want to try a bottle immediately but this towering effort will not reach its peak until 2015 at the earliest and provide pleasure through 2040."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

This is a slightly drier style than Fonseca or Graham's, but it appears to be a classic, majestic, enormously constituted 1994 that should age effortlessly for three decades or more.

Awesomely rich, and full-bodied, with superb length, richness, and overall balance, it possesses a huge mid-palate, layers of flavor, an unctuous texture, and a blockbuster finish.

Brand, Zind Humbrecht2lstl, 2nl, 1lscl, 1stl (Wines Located in New York)""If there can ever be a perfect vintage for a vineyard, 2000 was that way for Brand," said Olivier Humbrecht. He added that the 2000 Riesling Brand "is like the 1989 or 1998 yet not as sweet and with additional richness, acidity, and botrytis." Its exuberant nose displays poached pears, white peaches, liquid minerals, and apricots. On the palate, this medium to full-bodied wine is immensely rich, ample, and plump. Layers of tea-laced minerals vie with copious white fruits for the taster's attention. Intricately laced, its powerful character lasts throughout its exceedingly long finish. This prodigious wine will be at its best between 2007 and 2020."(97pts)3 bottles per lot $110-150

17331 Riesling - Vintage 2001Brand, Zind Humbrecht8lscl, 8lstl, 4 bottles different importer (Wines Locatedin New York)"Described by Olivier Humbrecht as "similar to the 1990 but with better balance", the 2001 Riesling Brand (indice 1) is one of the greatest dry Rieslings I have ever tasted. Its intensely ripe nose reveals complex liquid stone and smoky pear aromas. Medium to full-bodied, hugely concentrated and magnificently deep, this intricate wine inundates the palate with bitter almonds, liquid minerals, pears, flowers, and spices. This dry offering's finish is sumptuous, flavor-packed, seamless, and unbelievably long. Typically, Rieslings from Brand age remarkably well, gaining complexity and power with time, so I would not be surprised to see this wine earn a perfect score in a few years. Wow!

Burguet1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Here too there is strikingly pretty fruit that is very pinot in character yet the Gevrey side comes through as well with pungent earth and underbrush hints as well as a hint of the sauvage. There is a relatively refined mouth feel to the silky-textured medium weight flavors that culminate in a dry, clean, balanced and naturally sweet finish.

17385 Chambertin - Vintage 2010

Clos de Bèze, B. Clair(Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze seems to hover on the palate. Dark red berries, freshly cut flowers, minerals and mint are all supported by the silkiest of tannins. The Bèze boasts striking inner perfume and fabulous overall balance. Though deceptively medium in body, there is plenty of stuffing and structure to support a long life in the cellar. This is a decidedly feminine Bèze that impresses for its sheer elegance and pure class. In sum, it is pure Bruno Clair. Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045."(94-96pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

17386 Chambertin - Vintage 2012Clos de Bèze, B.

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)12 bottles per lot $600-800

17388 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2014Clos du Fonteny, B.

The palate is well balanced and has more vigor. I like the purity here and the candied orange peel that give the finish that exotic touch, for those who prefer a more "daring" Gevrey. Drink and enjoy over the next 8-10 years."(90-92pts)12 bottles per lot $750-1000

17389 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2010Les Cazetiers, B. Clair(Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers is a deep, spherical wine endowed with tons of class and personality. Sweet floral notes meld into dark red and blue fruit in this seamless, beautifully textured Burgundy. Saline notes mark the long, polished finish.

17390 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2011Les Cazetiers, B. Clair(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Gevrey-Chambertin Cazetiers 2011 from Bruno Clair feels rather green on the nose at first, but with aeration it coalesces nicely and the brambly red fruit musters more intensity to counter that underripe tinge' (tinge being the appropriate word here.) The palate is marked by firm tannins, but at least there is more fruit concentration and greater depth toward the saline finish. If you can abide greenness on the nose, this is actually quite an attractive Cazetiers."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $70-90

17391 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2012Les Cazetiers, B. Clair(Wines Located in New York)"The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cazetiers has a more serious, inward-looking bouquet compared to its fellow premier crus with silky black fruit that remain stoic at this prenatal stage. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent opening before the tannins kick in, rendering the finish more foursquare and structure."(92-94pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

It has a refined bouquet, quite precise and tightly coiled at first, but unrolling with rose petal-tinged red berry fruit, fine mineralité and charm. The palate has plenty of sappy red and black fruit on the entry, a keen line of acidity, fine tannin and palpable density towards the finish. Certainly there is good substance here and there is a lovely touch of white pepper on the aftertaste. This is just a lovely, lovely wine in the making."(90-92pts)12 bottles per lot $750-1000

17399 Corton - Vintage 2010Greves, Domaine des Croix(Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Corton-Greves comes across as deep, dark and muscular.

from Northern Côte de Nuit. Forest floor, porcini mushrooms, underbrush and loamy soil notes intermixed with hints of black raspberry, cherry and blueberry are followed by a full-bodied wine with 15% natural alcohol and great intensity, making for a prodigious Pinot Noir that should age gracefully for 10-15 years."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

17502 Aubert Vineyards Chardonnay - Vintage 2014Hudson Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)'Aubert's debut with the famous Hudson Vineyard is the 2014 Chardonnay Hudson, which comes across like a premier cru Meursault. This is made from 20-year-old Wente clones and shows smoky hazelnut and almond notes, buttery tropical fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a big, forward style. I'm not sure this will be the longest-lived of the Aubert 2014s, but it is certainly the most flamboyant and showy at this stage.''(95pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

17503 Aubert Vineyards Chardonnay - Vintage 2015Hudson Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The 2015 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard is a toasty, nutty, baked peaches and pear tart sex bomb, with an incredible array of nuances on the nose conjuring notions of struck flint, earth, meat, baking bread and allspice.

It offers everything you desire from this First Growth. It is blessed with breathtaking delineation and freshness on the nose, understated at first and then blossoming with mineral-infused black fruit, hints of blueberry, crushed stone and violet. The palate is perfectly balanced with filigree tannin, perfect acidity, a wine where everything seems to be in its right place. Blackberry, crushed stone at the front of the mouth, just a touch of spice towards the finish that shows supreme control. This is a Margaux that seems to light up the senses. It was outstanding in its youth...something that has not changed one bit over the intervening two decades. This may well turn out to be the Left Bank pinnacle of the 1990s. Tasted July 2016."(100pts)

17515 Clio - Vintage 2011Bodegas el Nido(Wines Located in New York)"It might be that in the books 2010 was a more favorable vintage than 2011, but I see the opposite in the wines of El Nido. The 2011 vintage of the 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon Clio is ultra dark, almost black, with a very smoky nose, plenty of spices, graphite with some lactic hints, plums, blackberries, chocolate all black. The palate is still dominated by the oak, very ripe fruit with unusual flavors of café au lait, plenty of drying, powerful tannins and a clearly sweet finish (toffee) that tries to compensate the high alcohol and moves stylistically closer to a Port. It's a particular style, very good. 60,000 bottles."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $120-160

17516 Dominus - Vintage 1984lwrl, lstl, nl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"... has opened beautifully and is now displaying super-ripe aromas of cassis, roasted nuts, and sweet oak.

17517 Dominus - Vintage 2007(Wines Located in New York)

"Deep garnet in color with a touch of purple, the 2007 Proprietary Red Wine flaunts wonderfully expressive, vibrant blackberries and black cherries scents to begin, giving way to black raspberries and redcurrants with touches of Indian spices, potpourri, chargrill, sage, espresso, unsmoked cigars and tilled soil plus a waft of cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the elegantly styled palate offers tantalizing restraint with a firm frame of very fine, pixelated tannins and compelling freshness, finishing very long with an invigorating lift. Although this wine will handsomely reward a further 5-7 years in cellar, it can offer a lot of pleasure now but will need a couple of hours of decanting."(99pts)10 bottles per lot $1600-2200

17518 L'Aventure Estate cuvée - Vintage 20041nc (Wines Located in New York)"Even better and a borderline perfect wine, the 2004 Estate cuvée offers a spectacular array of creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, graphite and hints of licorice in its full-bodied, seamless and incredibly elegant personality. Truly spectacular, with phenomenal purity and finesse, fine tannin, and knockout richness and length, it's still a baby in terms of development and should continue to evolve gracefully for another decade or more."(99pts)2 bottles per lot $100-130

17519 Clarendon Hills Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005Hickinbotham Vineyard1vlscl (Wines Located in New York)"The most backward and structured of the Cabernet offerings is the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Hickinbotham Vineyard sourced from 50-year-old vines. It is a glass-coating opaque purple with complex aromas of new oak, smoke, espresso roast, chocolate, blackberry, and black currant. Full-bodied, opulent and intensely flavored, the wine has great depth and enough structure to permit a decade of evolution. This lengthy effort should provide pleasure through 2035."(97pts)6 bottles per lot $320-450

17520 Almaviva - Vintage 20012lwasl, 1lscl (Wines Located in New York)"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)2 bottles per lot $100-140

17523 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 2003Pauillacvlscl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Backward, powerful, and extremely tannic, the dense purple-colored 2003 Mouton-Rothschild, a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, fashioned from yields of 28 hectoliters per hectare, with a finished alcohol of 12.9%, improves dramatically with aeration. With full-bodied, meaty, powerful, dry flavors as well as a huge finish, this high class wine should be at its finest between 2012-2040+. During its sojourn in barrel, it reminded me of a hypothetical blend of the 1982 and 1986 Moutons, but since bottling, it appears different, and even more tannic than those two vintages. I still believe the finest recent Mouton-Rothschild is the 2000."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $400-550

17524 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 2004Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Beautiful aromas of crushed berries and chocolate, with hints of Indian spices.

This is the first wine from the new winemaking team at Mouton and is showing really well."(93pts WS)1 bottle per lot $350-500

17525 Château Palmer - Vintage 2008Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"Loads of barbecue smoke, licorice, incense, blackberry, new saddle leather and forest floor notes jump from the glass of this dense, purple-colored wine. Extraordinarily intense and full-bodied, with plenty of tannin, but not the formidable structure of the 2010, this is going to be one of the longest-lived wines of 2008."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $500-700

17526 Cepparello - Vintage 2007Isole e Olena(Wines Located in New York)"...comes across as rich, round and totally seductive in this tasting. Stylistically, it shares many attributes with the 1990 and 1997, although in my view it is more elegant than those wines. There is an immediacy about the 2007 that is highly appealing, and which will make the wine accessible relatively early. Layers of fruit build

beautifully to an exciting crescendo of aromas and flavors."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $50-65

17527 Sassicaia - Vintage 2012Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)"...presents a soft, velvety mouthfeel with plump cherry, fruity berry, blue flower and spice. Perhaps it shows more simplicity overall, but it does so with an impressive sense of harmony and confidence. This is not one of the great vintages of Sassicaia, but the wine flaunts its considerable pedigree nonetheless."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

17528 Sassicaia - Vintage 2013Tenuta San Guido(Wines Located in New York)" This is a wine of excellent execution, beautiful balance and seamless intensity. The bouquet opens slowly to reveal delicate aromas of dark fruit and integrated spice that build in steady strength. That forward momentum, which is so specific to Sassicaia, is what ultimately brings us confidence in the wine's remarkable ageing potential. The mouthfeel delivers freshness and power..."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

This impressively endowed, full-bodied Howell Mountain Cabernet is surprisingly approachable, but promises to evolve for 15 or more years."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $100-130

17533 Cardinale Red - Vintage 2012sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Cardinale's 2012 Proprietary Red, the flagship wine from the Jackson Family, was looked after and put-together by winemaker Chris Carpenter from numerous vineyard sites traversing Napa Valley. The 2012's final blend was 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot with 94% new French oak used. Terroirists undoubtedly lament the fact that nine different vineyards and seven different appellations were utilized, but the resulting wine is prodigious. A dense purple color is accompanied by notes of graphite, blackberries, blackcurrants, roasted coffee, vanillin, baking spices and forest floor. With enormous complexity and richness as well as full-bodied power and voluptuousness, it is a wine of exceptional purity, intensity, and well-integrated acidity, alcohol, tannin and wood. This seamless, majestic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated 2012 should drink well for two decades."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $65-85

17534 Cardinale Red - Vintage 2013sdc (Wines Located in New York)"A brilliant wine from winemaker Chris Carpenter and the Kendall-Jackson family, this blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Merlot, mostly coming from mountain vineyards owned by the Jackson family, is fabulous. The 2013 Cardinale Proprietary Red Wine is dense purple-colored, a big, sweet kiss of Crème de cassis as well as licorice, blackberry and espresso are all present in this full-bodied, rather sublime and intense Cabernet Sauvignon that should drink well for 25 or more years. This was aged in about 91% new French oak for 18-20 months prior to bottling. It is certainly one of the finest Cardinales I have tasted in my experience."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $140-180

17535 Cardinale Red - Vintage 20143sdc (Wines Located in New York)"A magnificent wine made the by the brilliant winemaker Chris Carpenter, who also works for the Kendall-Jackson empire at Lakoya and a handful of other estates, this blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot is sourced from multiple vineyards owned by the Jacksons, from Veeder Peak to Spring Mountain to Howell Mountain. In 2014, it reminded me of a great vintage of Pontet-Canet from Pauillac, but slightly bigger than life. The inky purple color, the stunning nose of cedar wood, unsmoked cigar tobacco, graphite, Crème de cassis and subtle new oak is followed by a multi-layered, profoundly concentrated, large-scaled wine with sensational levels of blackcurrant fruit moving toward blackberries. A wine of great intensity, silky tannins and adequate acidity, this is clearly one of the great, great wines of the vintage, and another tour de force in winemaking from Carpenter. It is a 15- to 20- year wine, but the window for drinking its is probably that big as well."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $140-180

17536 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2008Special Selection

3sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is the first example of this cuvée to include Merlot (about 14%) in the blend. The Merlot component has given the wine a cocoa/chocolate nuance to its black currant, licorice-infused fruit. The tannins are velvety soft and the wine is beautifully textured and full-bodied. It is ideal for drinking now and over the next 15 years."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $400-600

17537 Dominus - Vintage 2008(Wines Located in New York)"Made in a more masculine style, the 2008 Dominus has all of that along with bigger body and more structure, fat, density and texture. Both are brilliant wines and they represent the finest back-to-back vintages for Dominus since 2001 and 2002 or 1990 and 1991. Both the 2007 and 2008 Dominus should drink well for 25-30 years."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

17538 Dominus - Vintage 2009(Wines Located in New York)"A seamless classic, it offers a symphony of red and black currants, Asian plum sauce, lavender, and underbrush. Sweet Christmas fruitcake characteristics emerge from this magnificent Dominus that finished at 14.5% natural alcohol (slightly higher than usual). The seamless integration of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol, the brilliant length and overall compelling complexity and richness make it one of the great classics from this historic estate."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

17546 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 20051nl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is a more closed and restrained style of wine, with firm tannins, Bordeaux-like austerity, but dense ruby/purple with notes of menthol, black currant liqueur, coffee, and a hint of olive. The wine is full-bodied, youthful, tannic, and a promising candidate for long-term cellaring. In fact this kind of vintage at Togni generally means laying the wine away for at least a decade, which is always good advice here. This may be a 30- to 40-year Togni Cabernet Sauvignon."(92+pts)2 bottles per lot $140-180

sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Tasting the three most recent vintages of the Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon was not only a privilege, but also an intellectual and hedonistic turn-on. The 2010 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a magnificent wine. Full-bodied and opulent with terrific purity, an intriguing, gravelly, wet stone-like minerality, and a sensational perfume, it has a spectacular finish that lasted over 45 seconds, offering up copious quantities of black currants, black cherries, cedar and vanillin. It is one of the superstars of the vintage. It is accessible now because of the sweetness of the tannins, but make no mistake, there is plenty of structure underlying the luxurious fruit levels. It should drink well for 30+ years."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $420-550

This full-bodied classic displays notes of forest floor, earth, Crème de cassis, blackberry liqueur, licorice and some pen ink. It is dense, full-bodied, prodigiously rich, massive in intensity, yet relatively light on its feet. This great ballerina of a wine has extraordinary ripeness but pulls back from the edge before going over the top. There are 1,000 cases of this classic, which should age effortlessly for 30+ years."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

17562 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005(Wines Located in New York)"Opaque purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating, the layers of complex flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional cellaring. The oak, tannin, and acidity are beautifully integrated and the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute. Purchasers no doubt will want to try a bottle immediately but this towering effort will not reach its peak until 2015 at the earliest and provide pleasure through 2040."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $400-500

17563 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007(Wines Located in New York)"This multi-dimensional offering surrenders an inviting bouquet of sandalwood, Asian spices, violets, truffle, black currant, and blackberry.

17564 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 20092sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot) is a ripe, flamboyant and brilliantly proportioned effort that oozes kirsch, licorice, lead pencil shavings and dried spice on the nose. Showing the perfume and headiness of the vintage, it nevertheless stays vibrant and lively on the palate while delivering layers of fruit and texture. While formidably structured and tannic, it can be enjoyed now due to the overall tannin quality and purity of fruit. It will evolve and drink well for over two decades. Drink now-2029.

17566 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. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in new barrels, it offers incredible notes of blackcurrants, graphite, lead pencil shavings and crushed rocks in a full-bodied, decadent, insanely layered and seamless style. This beauty possesses ultra-fine tannin, no hard edges and a forward, already hard to resist style, yet it's going to keep for more than two decades."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

17567 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2006Galitzine Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Dark ruby/purple in color, it delivers an enticing nose of pain grille, pencil lead, earth notes, spice box, violets, and assorted black fruits.

17568 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2012Galitzine Vineyard2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Another classic Cabernet Sauvignon from the Golitzin's, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard comes from the dry, windswept Red Mountain AVA and is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a big, structured effort that offers lots of minerality and dusty earth in its blackcurrants, black cherry liqueur, smoked earth, licorice and charred-meat-driven bouquet. Firm, focused and tight, this has closed down substantially since I tasted it from barrel, yet has serious concentration, lots of tannin and a great finish. It needs 4-5 years to integrate all its components, and should evolve gracefully through 2035."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $160-220

17569 Catena Zapata Malbec - Vintage 2009sdc, nl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Catena Malbec was aged in 35% new French and American barriques for 14 months.

Deep, medium to full-bodied flavors, with ripe tannin and a long, layered finish make for a complete St.-Emilion to drink over the next 12-15 years."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400




17575 Clos de Sarpe - Vintage 2007St. Emilion1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The deep garnet colored 2007 Clos de Sarpe is profoundly scented of preserved plums, blackcurrant cordial and blueberry compote with touches of lilacs, bay leaves and truffles. Medium-bodied with a firm frame of grainy tannins and a great core of slowly evolving, earthy fruit, it finishes long with a refreshing herbal lift."(91pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400

17576 Clos L'Eglise - Vintage 2005Côtes de Castillon1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"The talented and charming Sylvie Garcin runs this tiny property of 15 acres, planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged in 100% new oak. The 2005 is dense ruby/purple, with notes of smoky barbecue, crushed blackcurrants and jammy cherries, with some licorice and earth in the background (truffle?). This full-bodied, multi-dimensional, full-throttle and concentrated Pomerol is top class. This is a great example of the vintage and of this beautiful terroir not far from Pomerol's church. Approachable now, it will even improve for another 5-10 years and drink well for at least two more decades."(96pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500


17577 Clos L'Eglise - Vintage 2006Côtes de Castillon1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then at the château, the 2006 Clos l'Eglise has an attractive, quite opulent bouquet with blueberry and Crème de cassis aromas tinged with black truffle and violets. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, good acidity, grippy in the mouth and substantial weight on the finish. If it can evolve more finesse on the finish, this will be a very satisfying Pomerol, so afford it another 3-4 years in bottle. Tasted March 2016."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400



17579 Clos L'Eglise - Vintage 2007Côtes de Castillon1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at the château, the 2007 Clos l'Eglise was a pleasant surprise with quite vigorous black cherry and bergamot scents, just a hint of black tea, certainly showing good intensity after ten years. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, fine backbone, a pinch of cracked black pepper on the entry with a solid, slightly austere but focused finish that is resolutely classic in style. I appreciate the "Pomerol-ness" of this Clos l'Eglise. Drink now and over the next 6-8 years. Tasted March 2017."(90pts)12 bottles per lot $260-350

17590 Louis Roederer Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2002Cristal(Wines Located in New York)"Roederer's 2002 Cristal is a fabulous wine! Originally released in 2009, it was re-released in March this year and was sold out in a very short time. The Cristal I tasted at Roederer in May 2018 was disgorged in 2010, after seven years sur lie. Its amazing richness and concentration makes it a forerunner of the 2015 and follows the 1999. Only two times 2002 and 2015 the fruit from all 42 plots reserved for Cristal was used for the Cristal. "I couldn't do any better blend than the one assembling all the 42 plots," says Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, stressing that at that time only two hectares were farmed biodynamically. As a result of the conversion to biodynamic farming, Lécaillon promised himself the production of even more beautiful, vital and balanced wines, and you can feel his satisfaction whenever he speaks of the cuvées that are yet to come such as 2012 and 2015, the latter of which he calls "the new 2002." Back to history: the nose of the 2002 Cristal shows a deep, ripe and elegant fruit with aromas of white chocolate, wet chalk, wild vanilla and pepper (typical for 2002) as well as terroir-driven truffle notes. Intense and very elegant in the mouth, this is a ripe, rich and concentrated yet also pure and vital Cristal with great finesse, elegance and mineral complexity. It's a sublime Champagne right now, although it's more wine than Champagne. Tasted in Reims in May 2018."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $220-300

It would be fascinating to put this wine in a line-up of grand cru red Burgundies given its almost Pinot Noir-like characteristics of forest floor, mushrooms, smoky, and subtle meaty barbecue notes. Blue and red fruits dominate this remarkably suave red that must be tasted to be believed. Even the most talented taster would probably not guess that there is 84% Mourvedre in the blend."(91pts)3 bottles per lot $90-120

17607 Carlisle Red - Vintage 2008Two Acres(Wines Located in New York)"A gorgeous effort, the 2008 Two Acres is a blend of 79% Mourvedre and the rest Petite Sirah, Syrah, Carignan and Alicante Bouschet. To achieve fully ripe Mourvedre is no easy task, even in sunny, dry California. This deep purple-hued offering displays notes of blue fruits, black raspberries, camphor and spring flowers. With super fruit, a dense, full-bodied opulence and a stunningly rich finish, it is a super wine to drink over the next decade or more."(92pts)3 bottles per lot $90-120

This full-bodied, fruit-driven, fabulously well-endowed Syrah should drink well for 12-16 years."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $70-90

17614 Clarendon Hills Syrah - Vintage 2004Brookman Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"A black, sexy beast, the 2004 Syrah Brookman (aged in 50% new French oak) offers up amazingly full-bodied, intense, blackberry fruit intermixed with notions of roasted coffee, flowers, and creme de cassis. Full-bodied, rich, beautifully textured, opulent, and long, it should drink well for 10-15 years. It appears to be slightly more forward than it was last year."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $80-110

17617 Jasper Hill Shiraz - Vintage 2003Georgia's Paddock

(Wines Located in New York)"This wine is spectacularly concentrated and represents an exceptional expression of cooler climate Australian Shiraz. The 2003 Shiraz Georgia's Paddock exhibits an inky/blue/purple color along with a big, sweet nose of lead pencil shavings interwoven with charcoal, blackberries, cassis, licorice, and a touch of oak. This larger than life, multi-layered, intense, pure Shiraz possesses supple tannin, giving it a certain accessibility even though it will have 10-15 years of aging potential."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $50-65

17618 Kilikanoon Reserve Shiraz - Vintage 2003Green's Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"A barrel sample of the spectacular 2003 Shiraz Greens Vineyard revealed great stuffing, intensity, and more alcohol, glycerin, texture, and persistence than its older sibling.

17620 Torbreck Grenache - Vintage 2003Les Amis(Wines Located in New York)"The 2003 Les Amis is a 300-case cuvée of 100% Grenache from a vineyard planted in 1901. I have had a lot of fun serving the 2002 blind to guests, and for my taste, this cuvée is the reference point for old vine Grenache produced in Australia. It is extraordinarily elegant for a wine of such power, richness, and intensity. Amazingly delineated, with a dense ruby/purple color as well as a gorgeously sweet nose of smoke, spice box, black cherry liqueur, creme de cassis, licorice, and lavender, it offers impressive balance, purity, opulence, and persistence. This phenomenal wine is both powerful and refreshingly elegant. A magnificent achievement for Torbreck, it should drink well for 15+ years."(98pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

17622 Château Calon Segur - Vintage 2003St. Estephe(Wines Located in New York)"Loads of crushed berries, with mineral, lightly toasted oak and licorice. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. This is the sleeper of the vintage."(95pts WS)1 bottle per lot $75-100

17624 Château Grand Puy Lacoste - Vintage 2000Pauillac3lscl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2000 Château Grand Puy Lacoste is an exceptional wine from Xavier Borie. It has a brilliant nose of blackberry, crushed stone, graphite and cedar. Putting it to one side for ten to 15 minutes reveals subtle mint-like aromas that whisk you straight to Pauillac. The palate is smooth and silky, cloaking the tannic frame of this GPL so that you barely notice it. But that will stand it in good stead for the long-term, the cornerstone of all great wines from this estate. Then there is that hint of spice on the aftertaste the show ain't over yet. Served alongside a magnum of Pichon Baron 2000, I would say that at the moment, it does not quite possess the same level of precision. However, it remains a magnificent Pauillac to cherish long-term. Tasted January 2016."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $260-350

17625 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 2000St. Julien1wasl, 1stl, 1lstl (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

17626 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2000Pauillac2lscl, 1stl (Wines Located in New York)"A spectacular effort clearly my favorite vintage of this wine since the 1989 and 1990. An inky purple color offers up notes of barbecue spices intermixed with new saddle leather, creme de cassis, melted licorice, creosote, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied, tremendously concentrated, with sweet tannin and a seamless finish that goes on for close to one minute. This wine has great purity, tremendous texture, and fabulous upside potential."(97pts)6 bottles per lot $1000-1400

17627 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2007Montosoli, Altesino1tl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli shows fabulous depth and richness from start to finish.

It's one of those rare wines that inspires praise and excited conversation from the very second you raise the glass to your nose. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon (55%) with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Baritone aromas of black cherry, black currant, cured meat, sweet spice, Spanish cedar, mocha and wild Mediterranean herbs come together in graceful unity. In the mouth, the wine is exceedingly smooth and decadent with a long velvety trail that softly coats the palate. This is one for the cellar. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $70-90

17631 Redigaffi - Vintage 2005Tua Rita(Wines Located in New York)

"The 2005 Redigaffi (Merlot) is the most finessed, elegant Redigaffi I can recall. This is a Redigaffi that emphasizes clarity and precision over sheer power. Suggestions of new leather, spices, plums, currants, minerals, blueberry jam and toasted oak emerge from this medium-bodied effort. Although the 2005 might not have the structure of previous vintages, the tannins are beautifully balanced and the wine offers terrific overall harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

17632 Redigaffi - Vintage 2011Tua Rita(Wines Located in New York)"The 2011 Redigaffi (one of Italy's iconic Merlots) is a little shy at first and needs a few extra minutes to warm in the glass. Once it does, it bursts open with sweet fruit, blackberry, dark leather and Oriental spice. The wine is beautifully balanced and enormously expressive. It hits the high notes and the low ones with tip-top precision. I loved the purity of the sweet tobacco and crushed white pepper you get on the seductively long finish. It's a baby now, and needs more aging time. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

17633 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2010Eisele Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"...is a picture perfect example of the year.

17634 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2011Eisele Vineyard1sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is simply beautiful. It is easily one of the most complete and compelling wines of the vintage. Rich, flashy and open, especially within the context of the vintage, the 2011 impresses for its depth and polish. Layers of blue and black fruit, savory herbs, mint and licorice come together in this complete Cabernet. A model of total class and elegance, the 2011 is simply remarkable for the year.

The complex, intense aromatics are followed by a deep, opulent, multidimensional, full-bodied wine with not a hard edge to be found. Everything is seamlessly crafted in this beauty and the vintage's abundant richness is well-displayed."(99pts)3 bottles per lot $500-650

17643 Dominus - Vintage 2013(Wines Located in New York)"The 2013 Dominus is, to my way of thinking, one of the most profound wines Christian Moueix has yet made in his rather brilliant winemaking history, both in France and in Napa Valley. This wine, with very low yields of only 3,500 cases and a final blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, offers up notes of cedar wood, forest floor, loamy soil and oodles of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Very opaque purple in color, super-pure and intense, this wine has low acidity, but ripe, noticeable tannins. This is a 30- to 40-year wine and a profound effort from this famous vineyard in Yountville. Drink it over the next 40+ years."(100pts)11 half-bottles per lot $1600-2200

17644 Matriarch Red - Vintage 2001(Wines Located in New York)

"Beautifully made, with wonderfully sweet notes of smoke, lead pencil shavings, black cherries, and cassis, an opulent texture, impressive concentration, low acidity, and silky tannin, it possesses more up-front charm and accessibility than its bigger siblings."(94pts)4 bottles per lot $400-500

17645 Pride Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 20082vlscl, 1 signed (Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful wine graced with expressive red fruit, flowers, licorice and tobacco. This mid-weight, understated wine impresses for its focus, length and fine overall balance. Floral notes round out the fleshy, generous finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020."(91pts)4 bottles per lot $140-180


1vlscl (Wines Located in New York)"...reveals abundant notes of licorice, creme de cassis, unsmoked high class cigar tobacco, and toasty oak. Full-bodied with fabulous depth, richness, and texture as well as a multilayered mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and loads of potential, this stunning wine is capable of lasting 15-20 years."(98pts)4 bottles per lot $400-550

17652 Corton - Vintage 2006Clos des Cortons, Faiveley2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)" Deep, complex nose offers red fruits, iron, cherry cola, exotic flowers and underbrush. Broad, sappy and

mouthfilling, with an unusually lush texture for this cuvée at this early stage. Fine-grained and voluminous wine with captivating savory, earthy complexity. Finishes with very suave tannins and lovely length."(92pts VM)12 bottles per lot $900-1200

17653 Mazis Chambertin - Vintage 2006Faiveley2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"A distinctly sauvage and somber dark berry fruit nose gives off notes of iron tinged warm earth, underbrush, crushed herbs and a hint of smoke followed by rich, full and moderately wooded full-bodied flavors that are notably powerful and supported by very firm tannins on the serious, long and backward finish."(92-94pts BH)12 bottles per lot $1000-1400

17654 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 2006L. & A. Lignier1x3 magnum ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Here too there is a mildly macerated nose but with better overall complexity as the layering is impressive and it carries over to the rich, full and very serious flavors that possess excellent mid-palate concentration and focused power that is underpinned by very firm tannins that are bigger and slightly more rustic than those of the Charmes but there is also more buffering material as well as slightly better overall phenolic maturity."(91pts BH)3 magnums per lot $600-800

17658 Chablis - Vintage 2005Bougros, Fevre2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"This too displays a discreet touch of wood with citrus, oyster shell and algae notes that merge into big, muscular and robust flavors that are quite rich but not heavy or rustic, all wrapped in a sappy and palate staining finish."(92pts BH)12 bottles per lot $400-600




17661 Chablis - Vintage 2007Bougros, Côte de Bouguerots, Fevre2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"A somewhat riper but more reticent nose features the barest hint of wood spice that marries well with the explosive green and yellow fruit aromas and fresh, full, powerful, beautifully delineated flavors underpinned by a driving minerality and stunning length. Given the superb balance and firm acid spine, this should age effortlessly for at least 15 years, perhaps longer."(94pts BH)12 bottles per lot $600-800


17663 Chablis - Vintage 2007Fourchaume, Fevre2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The Fevre 2007 Chablis Fourchaume coming entirely from the Vaulorent (behind Les Preuses, and entirely distinct from the rest of Fourchaume) offers an elegance and a mineral intrigue that I have never witnessed from fruit grown in the Ur-Fourchaume. Scents of sea breezes, chalk dust, and bitter-sweet floral perfume set the tone for an impression of remarkable buoyancy and of flavors that seem to waft or wash over the palate. Yet while there is caress to the finish, there is underlying refreshment from lusciously ripe citrus, and a sense of invigoration in the wine's saline and citrus zest residues. I suspect this will be best enjoyed somewhat sooner than the very best Fevre 2007s, perhaps within 4-6 years. As with Montmains, there exists a corresponding non-estate bottling from contract fruit grown in all four sites that are allowed to trade as "Fourchaume" whose sheer generosity of fruit recommends it for early consumption, but which is not in the same league as the estate bottling. To avoid confusion and since these non-estate cuvées are not sold in the U.S. I have refrained from publishing a review."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500

17664 Chablis - Vintage 2008Les Clos, Fevre2x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York)"Here too the elegance of the nose is simply stunning with a layered and perfumed aromatic profile trimmed in an almost invisible touch of oak that allows it to ooze Chablis character and in particular, a fine minerality that continues onto the impressively concentrated and palate staining flavors that possess striking precision on the explosively long and bone dry finish.'(96pts BH)12 bottles per lot $900-1100


17665 Chablis - Vintage 2007Montmains, Fevre2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Comprising fruit from Les Forets, Bouts des Butteaux, and true Montmains, the Fevre 2007 Chablis Montmains (raised in a 60:40 ratio of tank to barrel) highlights peach, orange, kelp, and oyster shell. Its oiliness of texture reinforces the impression of richness, while a prominent salinity among its diverse mineral shadings lends lip-smacking invigoration to a sustained, bright, austerely dry finish. This offers an uncanny sense of liquefied stone and shells such as one scarcely ever encounters outside of the Auxerre. As Seguier explains it, the high-elevation and clay-rich Marnes soil of Butteaux which makes up nearly half of this cuvée promotes pronounced acidity, extract, and above all overt mineral characteristics. But these soils, especially at this altitude, are much slower to warm, so control of yields and later harvest are critical. This beauty should merit at least 6-8 years of attention. A non-estate Montmains, not sold in the U.S., shared some of this wine's mineral character but was broader and far less concentrated or focused."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500




17668 Chablis - Vintage 2007Vaillons, Fevre2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Fevre's 2007 Chablis Vaillons incorporating adjacent Chatains evinces crushed stone from nose to finish as well as salinity, but not the savory mineral nuances that make the best wines in this collection so appealing. There is admirable concentration and purity here, but in a compact form whose sense of austerity fruit pit notes only serve to accentuate. Yet, there is a sense of delicacy to the finish. This will need time (even short term) to unclench somewhat, but precisely its underlying density should then contribute to greater textural allure and help insure a 5-7 year future."(90+pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500





17672 Philipponnat Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2000Clos des Goisses2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"I remember well when I had a wonderful experience amongst the vines in the middle of the slope this year. Dark color and much more masculine compared to the 1999 vintage oddly enough. Concentrated and a little old-fashioned. Impressive power."(94pts RJ)12 bottles per lot $1400-1800



17674 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Kreuznacher Krotenpfuhl, Donnhoff2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"I'm tempted to assert that with his second rendition of this parcel (half of which gave its first crop) - namely his 2007 Kreuzncher Krotenpfuhl Riesling Spatlese - Donnhoff has hit a towering home run, except that the metaphor seems wrong for a wine that is really quite delicate and subtle. But what complexity and sheer sensual allure this has! Peony, lily, tangerine, blood orange, mint, and quince in the nose lead to a richly-textured, palpably high-extract, yet buoyant and refreshing palate performance, with a sneaky appearance of honeyed botrytis. And talk about salinity, savor, and animality in wine: you'll know what they are when you taste this. A finish can afford to be understated if it never seems to end. Absent a track record, it's still hard to imagine this rewarding fewer than two decades in the cellar, although like Donnhoff's Kirschheck, one certainly wants to savor some of it young."(95pts)12 bottles per lot $260-350



17676 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Niederhauser Hermannshohle, Donnhoff2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Gardenia, peony, and resinous herbs in the nose of Donnhoff's 2007 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Spatlese give way to a palpably extract-rich palate of vibratory intensity, suffused with stony, saline, and tactile suggestions of mineral matter, yet at the same time rich orchard fruits. If the Krotenpfuhl was painted with water colors, the medium here is definitely oil, exhibiting both dynamic and intricate brush work as well as dense layering. This masterpiece - picked simultaneously with the corresponding Grosses Gewachs - was only beginning to show its depth in the spring and needed almost six months in bottle to really

shine forth. Take as long as fate permits you to savor this; I can't imagine it disappointing a quarter century or more from now."(96pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500



17678 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Norheimer Kirschneck, Donnhoff2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)12 bottles per lot $300-400



17680 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Oberhauser Brucke, Donnhoff2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Lemon, grapefruit, red raspberry and persimmon rise from the glass of 2007 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Spatlese, whose palate dynamics seem like chamber music after the thundering, orchestral Kupfergrube. Saline and wet stone mineral notes as well as deep, malty, nut oil richness compliment the berry and citrus and the finish here is simply ravishingly intricate. Look for 20 or more years of fascination."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500





17684 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Schlossbockelheimer Kupfergrube, Donnhoff2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Scents of red and black currant, musk melon, orange, pear, and herbal essences in the nose of Donnhoff's 2007 Schlossbockelheimer Kupfergrube Riesling Spatlese coalesce on the palate into an intense and almost electric core. A hint of caramel points to botrytis as does the spiciness that chimes in on a kaleidoscopic, high-definition finish. it's easy to see why Donnhoff relegates this site to the group whose talents lie in residually sweet rather than dry Riesling. And it's hard

to imagine that with its wealth of acidity and extract and sense of sheer energy this will not remain exciting for a quarter century. I could have picked out an Auslese, but I didn-t, remarks Donnhoff by way of at least in part explaining the amazing quality and sheer concentration on display here."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400





17688 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Braunberger Juffer Sonnenuhr, Fritz Haag2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)12 bottles per lot $300-400





17692 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Urziger Wurzgarten, J.J. Christoffel1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Lime and kiwi in the nose of Christoffel's 2007 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Spatlese lead to a correspondingly juicy freshness of slightly tart fruit on the plate, shot-through with brown spices and fascinating savory, saline, browned-butter notes. Oily in texture, and with subtle suggestions of honey, this finishes with imposing richness, together with a sense of buoyancy; terrific sheer persistence; but also with a considerable superficial sweetness when compared with most of the wines in this collection. I would forget this in a cellar for 7-9 years and expect it to then perform well for that many years again."(91pts)6 bottles per lot $100-140

17700 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Bernkasteler Badstube, J.J. Prum2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"Bearing a strong family resemblance to the corresponding Kabinett, the Prum 2007 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese is redolent of cherry, pear, lime, and mint; is satiny yet refreshing; palate-saturating yet almost weightless; and finishes with infectious fruit intensity, pungently zesty citricity, and mysterious peaty, saline, savory, faintly animal nuances. Like the other Spatlese bottlings in this collection, this should perform admirably for at least a quarter century."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $240-320



17702 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Graacher Himmelreich, J.J. Prum2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The Prums' 2007 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spatlese represents another intensification of the corresponding Kabinett. Lemon, apple, blackcurrant, peach, honeysuckle, mint, and narcissus inform the nose and palate. An invigorating alliance of citrus, apply tartness, crushed stone, and salty minerality carries into a generous, irresistible finish. Here is the epitome of

delicacy and transparency in Mosel Riesling. While might be a sense in which this is marginally less profound than its fellow Prum Spatlesen, that does not make it any less delicious. Moreover, the record is clear that wines from Himmelreich are among the longest-lived and ultimately most profound of any from this address."(91pts)12 bottles per lot $240-320





17706 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Wehlener Sonnenuhr, J.J. Prum2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The Prum 2007 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese is intriguingly- as well as gorgeously-scented with peony, narcissus, heliotrope, mint, and fresh apple. Creamy and buoyant on the palate, it caresses and seduces with suggestions of lemon chiffon and vanilla flan, but then leaves a surprisingly adamant, stony, subtly zesty finish as if to put the taster on notice that there is a lot more here than meets the palate at such a youthful juncture."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400







17712 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, J.J. Prum

2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"There could scarcely be a more dramatic contrast than that between the Prums' 2007 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese and their Bernkasteler Badstube Spatlese. Whereas the latter for all of its delicacy is energetic, bright, and invigorating, this Zeltinger is a soothing, creamy essence of liquid flowers, accompanied by orchard fruit essences, vanilla, malt, and nut oils. Naturally this being archetypal Mosel there is something here too that one is practically compelled to describe as "stone" If this wine doesn't put you in a dream state, then you must suffer from genuine agitation!"(93pts)12 bottles per lot $300-400



17714 Riesling Spatlese - Vintage 2007Kiedricher Grafenberg, R. Weil2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"...saturates the palate with a superb, subtly oily concentration of pit fruits, citrus, and honey. Savory mineral character suggesting shrimp or lobster shell reduction persists all the way through a long finish, with the overall effect being surprisingly similar to that of the 2006 version, but with a degree of mineral-like expression rare for residually sweet Spatlese."(94pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500

Butter, smoke, spices, apricots, orange blossoms, almonds, hazelnuts, and nectarines all burst from the glass. This is a decidedly extroverted, plush Chardonnay with tons of Russian River character. It has a bit more oiliness and fat than the Ritchie, and is also just as beautiful. A wine of pure richness and glycerin, the vinous, textured Eastside Vineyard will drink well right out of the gate. Vintage 2011 is the first release of the Eastside Vineyard, which previously went into the Russian River bottling. Vineyard guru Ulises Valdez planted this site with Montrachet clones.

Rich, voluptuous and creamy, the 2011 is another of the more overt wines in this range. Still, there is more than enough underlying minerality to balance the fruit. The old Wente and Montrachet clones work well here, but the vines are only 12 years old, which suggests the best is still very much in the future.

17733 Château Bellevue Mondotte - Vintage 2006St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"This tiny, 5-acre vineyard with nearly 50-year old vines produces only 4,000 bottles from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The broodingly tannic, backward 2006 is remarkably concentrated, pure, and deep. It is an amazing tour de force in winemaking, but like nearly all the Perse 2006s, it is a massively built vin de garde with no compromises meant for serious connoisseurs and long-term cellaring."(95+pts)7 bottles per lot $550-700

17734 Château Branaire Ducru - Vintage 2005St. Julien3 bottles different importers (Wines Located in New York)"...is a big, structured, intensely rich effort with raspberry, blueberry, and spring flower garden characteristics, stunning purity, full-bodied power, and good underlying acidity as well as harmony."(95pts)7 bottles per lot $500-700

17737 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 2009St. Estephe(Wines Located in New York)"A remarkable effort from winemaking guru Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot (33%) and a touch of Cabernet Franc (2%) was cropped at 33 hectoliters per hectare. It boasts an inky/black/purple color along with an extraordinary bouquet of white flowers interwoven with blackberry and blueberry liqueur, incense, charcoal and graphite."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

17744 Château Gazin - Vintage 2006Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"This is a full-bodied, powerful 2006 with the oak more restrained than it normally is in a young Gazin. Copious quantities of sweet plum, fig, and black cherry fruit are intermixed with cedar and dried herbs in a medium to full-bodied, rich, long, impressively endowed style."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $100-130

17745 Château Giscours - Vintage 2005Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at the Château Giscours vertical, the 2005 Château Giscours is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot picked between September 22 and October 6. Conspicuously deep in color, both the aromatics and palate replicate the strong performance from earlier this year. The bouquet offers very fine intensity with blackberry and cedar, here a tinge of cassis that becomes accentuated with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly grainy tannin. It is very well balanced and almost Saint Julien in style. It is clearly very focused with a sustained, mineral-rich finish that (as I said before) contains real energy. This is an excellent Giscours that will age nicely over the next 20-25 years. Tasted June 2015."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

17746 Château Haut Bergey - Vintage 2008Graves(Wines Located in New York)"Another sleeper of the vintage, the relatively evolved, elegant, complex 2008 Haut-Bergey offers up notes of smoked tobacco, cassis, cherries, licorice, Asian plum sauce and spice box. With abundant fruit, an opulent texture and an elegant style, this pretty, medium-bodied, richly fruity wine should drink well for 12-14 years."(91pts)10 bottles per lot $240-320

17747 Château LanessanHaut Medoc- Vintage 2008 (Wines Located in New York) (2)


17748 Château Lascombes - Vintage 2008Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"Another incredibly successful sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 Lascombes confirms just how many top 2008s were produced. A dark plum/ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by a sexy, up-front perfume of forest floor, damp earth, blue and red fruits and a touch of spicy oak. Lush with low acidity and sweet tannin, it appears to be a bigger version of the stunning 2008 Malescot St.-Exupery. Drink it over the next 15 or more years it is well-worth buying by the case."(93pts)6 bottles per lot $350-500

17749 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 2004St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"Concentrated, with loads of smoke, creme de cassis, forest floor, and earthy notes emerge from this impressive, but oh, so backward wine."(92+pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

17750 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 2009St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"One of the more flamboyant and sumptuous wines of the vintage, this inky/purple-colored St.-Julien reveals thrilling levels of opulence, richness and aromatic pleasures. A soaring bouquet of creme de cassis, charcoal, graphite and spring flowers is followed by a super-concentrated wine with silky tannins, stunning amounts of glycerin, a voluptuous, multilayered mouthfeel and nearly 14% natural alcohol."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

17751 Château Monbousquet - Vintage 2005St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"A blend of approximately two-thirds Merlot, one-third Cabernet Franc and 8-10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2005 exhibits plenty of toasty oak, roasted herb, meat juice, blackberry, cherry, and spice characteristics along with a touch of incense. Full-bodied and opulent, with an atypically rigid structure, this is a remarkable achievement for such a humble terroir."(95pts)7 bottles per lot $380-500

17752 Château Montrose - Vintage 2011St. Estephe(Wines Located in New York)"Features some lovely plum, black currant and blackberry fruit, already melded into the core, while a pure, long and rather regal structure runs through the finish, letting extra charcoal and pebble notes play out. Offers precision, range and a beautiful mix of fruit and austerity."(93pts WS)7 bottles per lot $420-550

17753 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2000Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"A spectacular effort clearly my favorite vintage of this wine since the 1989 and 1990. An inky purple color offers up notes of barbecue spices intermixed with new saddle leather, creme de cassis, melted licorice, creosote, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied, tremendously concentrated, with sweet tannin and a seamless finish that goes on for close to one minute. This wine has great purity, tremendous texture, and fabulous upside potential."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

17754 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2003Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Wow. This shows so much ripe fruit and berry

Right Bank(Wines Located in New York)"The 2014 Right Bank Proprietary Red Wine, a blend of 74% Cabernet Franc and 26% Merlot, is a Napa version of a St.-Emilion/Pomerol with its sweet, soft tannins, fleshy, opulent, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, lovely blueberry, black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit.

17782 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 201240th Anniversary(Wines Located in New York)"They appear to be immune to some of winedom's less than intelligent trends and fads that we see from time to time, and the result is a spectacular 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary offering. Its dense purple/black color is followed by copious quantities of Crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, silky tannins, a voluptuous texture and stunning purity as well as length. This full-bodied effort is a fabulous example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a tribute to this amazing family. It is so good now, why wait? However, I'm sure that like most vintages of Caymus, it will last for 20-25 years. Amazing!"(96pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

This was another difficult vintage for Dunn. Yields were down a full 50%. In exchange, nature rewarded Dunn with the fruit to make an epic wine that could very well turn out to be a modern-day legend. The 2008 is a huge, towering wine packed with dark fruit, licorice, tar, asphalt and licorice."(98+pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

17797 Rivers Marie Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2014Calistoga(Wines Located in New York)"The Cabernets start with the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, which is from a single block of the Larkmead Vineyard. This is fabulous 100% Olmo clone that is the same as the Eisele clone. Opaque purple, this wine was aged 20 months in a relatively small percentage of new oak. Blackberry, cassis, spring flowers and vanilla all jump from the glass of this fabulous, concentrated, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that is dense, pure and terrific. Alcohol levels are relatively modest at 14.3%. Drink it over the next 20 years."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $80-110

17798 Rivers Marie Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2014Corona Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Corona Vineyard comes from the western Oakville hillside that was once an old gravel quarry. Blue/purple with notes of earth, crushed rock, blueberry and blackberry fruit, this is a relatively tannic, backward style compared to the other Cabernets with plenty of minerality, a muscular structure, full-bodied mouthfeel and loads of blue, red and black fruits. This is impressive and potentially fabulous with a great upside, but needs 3-5 years of bottle age and should keep for up to 30 years."(96+pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

17799 Rivers Marie Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2014Lore Vineyard

(Wines Located in New York)"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Lore Vineyard is another magnificent wine from the Oakville corridor on the hills near Dalla Valle and the Pedregral Vineyard of David Ramey. Wonderful notes of fruitcake, cedar wood, spice box, blackcurrant and blackberry along with espresso and spice jump from the glass of this terrific wine that is powerful, concentrated and multidimensional, but still somewhat youthful and backward. Give it 3-4 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 25-30 years."(96+pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

17801 Rivers Marie Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2014Panek Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Thomas Rivers Brown does a fabulous job with the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Panek Vineyard, which is not that far from Vineyard 29's Aida on the valley floor just to the south of Larkmeade, north of St. Helena and the Culinary Institute of America. This is another sensational effort that flirts with perfection. Seventy-five percent new French oak was utilized for 20 months of aging, before the wine was bottle unfined and unfiltered. Opaque purple with notes of blueberry, black raspberry, incense, camphor and forest floor, the wine has an fabulous richness on the palate, a front-end-loaded appeal, but then carries through in the midpalate and finish with light tannin and good acidity. This is a sensational, sexy, up-front Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 20 years while waiting for the 2013 to hit its peak."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

17802 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2015Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyardnl (Wines Located in New York)"Coming from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, from blocks C2, D2 and B2 planted predominately to clone 4, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Schrader is intensely scented of vibrant blackberries, black plums and cassis, with touches of Indian spices, eucalypt, mocha and tilled black soil plus a waft of oolong tea. Medium to full-bodied, the palate comes through with a compelling chocolate-covered cherries character and tons of subtle layers, structured with very firm, very fine-grained tannins and impressive freshness, finishing with epic persistence. 213 cases produced."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $200-260

17803 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2015CCS(Wines Located in New York)"Coming from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, block C1 planted to clone 4, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon CCS has a very pretty nose of ripe plums, black cherries and mulberries with an undercurrent of violets, licorice,

marmite toast and cigar box plus a touch of aged beef. Medium to full-bodied, the palate struts great finesse, with very fine, silt-like tannins supporting the nuanced black fruit layers, finishing very long and with great purity. 683 cases produced."(99pts)2 bottles per lot $500-700

17804 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2015GIIIvlscl (Wines Located in New York)"All of the 2015s will be reviewed from bottle next year, but basically the yields were not off as much at Schrader as some other estates, the alcohol levels were relatively modest ranging between 14.3% and 14.5%. Characteristic of this vintage, there is magnificent fat, sucrosity and thickness on display in all of these wines. They are inky black/purple and seemingly low in acidity, but according to Thomas Rivers Brown the acids were quite sound and healthy. The tannins are present, but so well-disguised by the high levels of glycerin and sucrosity that they are not that noticeable. Several of these wines, including the Schrader, CCS, T6 and LPV have the potential for perfect scores. These will be thrilling to taste next year and will continue the incredible legacy that Schrader Cellars has developed over the years."(96-100pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

17805 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2015LPV(Wines Located in New York)"Coming from the Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard, from blocks C and E that are planted to clones 337 and 4, respectively, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Lpv has a very deep garnet-purple color and nose of crushed black berries, black currant cordial and garrigue with wafts of sage, mocha and cedar chest plus a hint of lavender. Medium to full-bodied, very firm and very tightly knit, the palate reveals great elegance and sophistication, with slowly revealing layers and a lovely minerality coming through on the long finish. 2,017 cases produced."(98+pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

17806 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2015Old Sparky(Wines Located in New York)'A barrel selection coming from the best barrels of Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Sparky has a deep garnet-purple color and savory/meaty nose of yeast extract, chargrill, sautéed herbs and smoked meat over a core of Crème de cassis, cigar box, red currant jelly and wild blueberries plus a touch of powdered cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with black fruit preserves, savory and baking spice layers, with a very firm backbone and very long, multilayered finish."(97pts)1 magnum per lot $800-1100

17807 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2015RBS1nl (Wines Located in New York)"Coming from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard,

blocks B1, B2 and E2 planted to clone 337, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon RBS has a very deep purple-black color and is a little reticent to begin, offering glimpses at crushed black berries, black cherries and black currants with touches of cedar chest, pencil lead, dark chocolate and dusty earth with a waft of cinnamon stick. Medium to full-bodied and tautly structured with rock-solid, firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness supporting the muscular fruit, it finishes on a lingering earthy note. Forget this one over the next 4-5 years, and drink it over the next 25+. 1,096 cases produced."(98+pts)3 bottles per lot $750-1000

17808 Vice Versa Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2014(Wines Located in New York)"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beauty, with an opaque purple color, an exceptional nose of blueberries, blackberries, charcoal and white flowers. The purity comes through big-time, the wine is dense, supple and, like so many 2014s, opulent, plush and endearing. This wine spent 20 months in 100% new French oak and was accessed from four of the best-known Napa vineyards: Las Piedras, Dr. Crane and Moulds Family vineyards and the large Stagecoach Vineyard. Drink it over the next 20+ years."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $300-420

17819 Château Palmer - Vintage 1985Margauxvhs, ssos (Wines Located in New York)"It was time to rock with the 80s, beginning with the 1985. The 85 had a charming nose with nice musk and a sweet, caramel glaze. Chocolate, honey and graham cracker emerged as sexy secondary aromas, all able to speak on a platform of cassis underneath. The palate had cassis and chocolate with twists of wood and kisses of citrus. Gorky keenly observed, the style is so evident in all these wines."(92pts JK)1 bottle per lot $160-200

17821 Dominus - Vintage 1991sdc (Wines Located in New York)"As for the 1991, 6,500 cases were produced of this potentially perfect wine. 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 $240-350

17822 Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1984Monte Bellovlscl (Wines Located in New York)"While this wine is not as reserved and tight as most 8-year old Ridge Cabernets, it still needs another 5-10 years of cellaring. It should prove to be a 30-year wine. The color is dark ruby with no signs of age. With airing the reticent nose reveals attractive floral, mineral, and blackcurrant aromas. This full-bodied, powerful, structured wine has high tannins and ample evidence of rich, gamey fruit."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

Raspberry coulis, wild strawberry and cold stone soar from the glass with great focus. The palate is tensile, the red berry fruit laced with orange zest that lends vivacity and energy. To be banal, this is just a Richebourg so well crafted that you want to just drink it rather than intellectualize over its virtues. That's the sign of a great wine."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

A bone meal-like meld of mineral and meat dominates the nose and suffuses the palate along with black raspberry, plum and cherry fruit accepted by faintly bitter fruit pit notes. This is quite full and rich, but without being heavy; overtly tannic and chewy, but without being coarse. A promising more tart than sweet juiciness of black fruit mingles with roasted meat and stony, chalky minerality in the finish."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $240-350

17856 Musigny - Vintage 2000L. Jadot(Wines Located in New York)"Full ruby-red. Raspberry, woodsmoke, flinty minerality and subtle suggestions of torrefaction on the nose. Lush on entry, then impressively silky in the middle, with captivating, highly aromatic berry and mineral flavors. Finishes long and subtle, with very suave tannins. It hard to fault this wine, yet I found myself wondering if the 100% new oak partly masked the terroir."(92-4pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $260-320

17861 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2006Les Chaignots, Mugneret-Gibourg(Wines Located in New York)"The Mugneret 2006 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Chaignots exhibits rich plum and cherry with a vintage-typically tart edge, conducing to a combination of both caressing texture and tingling invigoration. The hint of wood (again rather atypically for this address distinctly evident) accentuates the sweetness of the fruit to a slightly preserve-like note in the finish, complimented by brown spices and with a hint of the carnal dimension one normally anticipates from this bottling. This was very late to go through malo and to begin to display harmony, but I still expect it will be best enjoyed fairly young, within the next 5-7 years."(90pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

17862 Morey St. Denis - Vintage 1993cuvée des Alouettes, Ponsot(Wines Located in New York)"In 1993 Ponsot produced a Morey St.-Denis cuvée

Alouettes. This is his declassified Clos de la Roche made from young vines - i.e., anything younger than 19 years! It is an outstanding wine that would embarrass much of what was made by other producers in 1993. It boasts a huge, complex nose of earth, smoke, jammy black-cherries, and herbs. Full-bodied, rich, dense, and concentrated, this large-scaled wine should age well for 15 or more years. While I am a great believer that low yielding, highly concentrated Pinot Noir deserves plenty of toasty new oak, there is not one new oak barrel to be found in Ponsot's cellar. The average age of the barrels is between 30-60 years, thus proving that there is at least one exception to the rule that the greatest red Burgundies are kept in new oak casks!"(92pts)3 half-bottles per lot $150-200

17865 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2004Bouchard, Pere et Fils(Wines Located in New York)"Green apple, white pear and hint of crushed herb are framed by gentle notes of pain grill that combine with huge and unbelievably intense flavors blessed with phenomenal power and length. This has that "wow" factor as the flavors are both palate staining and almost painfully intense and the finale is like a block of stone."(93-5pts BH)4 bottles per lot $320-420

17866 Meursault - Vintage 2007Perrières, Boyer-Martenot(Wines Located in New York)"The most intensely aromatic of this year's Boyer-Martenot collection, a 2007 Meursault Perrières combines some of the carnal and musky notes found in the corresponding Genevrieres with pungent citrus oil, narcissus, and a hint of sweat. A similarly intriguing complexity informs the creamy yet bright, forwardly, juicily citric yet (as befits the nose-bleed location of the estate's parcel) stony palate. Toasted almond and hazelnut add piquancy to the long, almost explosively citric and mineral finish. I would expect this to reward visits for at least the next 6-8 years."(92pts)3 bottles per lot $170-240

17869 Meursault - Vintage 2009Perrières, F. Mikulski(Wines Located in New York)"In contrast to the funkiness of the prior wine, this is textbook pure and fresh, indeed even perfumed with hints of stone, white flower and lightly spiced pear. The rich and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors retain outstanding delineation and despite the excellent concentration, there is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the driving and almost painfully intense finish."(91-94pts BH)6 bottles per lot $350-500

17871 Chablis - Vintage 2004Les Clos, Fevre3ltl (Wines Located in New York)"Its creamed stone aromatics are followed by a bold, muscular, powerful character. Medium to full-bodied and ample, it explodes on the palate, unleashing waves of iodine-laced minerals, white fruits, and liquefied rocks. This masculine counterpart to the Les Preuses is suave, seamless, and immensely concentrated."(96pts)4 bottles per lot $260-350

17872 Chablis - Vintage 2007Les Clos, Fevre(Wines Located in New York)"The big, rich, powerful, detail and superbly focused flavors are supported by a very firm acid backbone that confers a bone dry quality to the finish that I could still taste hours later. In brief, at the moment this is more extract of Kimmeridgian stone than wine but it's breathtakingly good. Don't miss it."(96pts BH)2 bottles per lot $160-220

17873 Chablis - Vintage 2008Les Clos, Fevre(Wines Located in New York)"Here too the elegance of the nose is simply stunning with a layered and perfumed aromatic profile trimmed in an almost invisible touch of oak that allows it to ooze Chablis character and in particular, a fine minerality that continues onto the impressively concentrated and palate staining flavors that possess striking precision on the explosively long and bone dry finish.'(96pts BH)1 bottle per lot $60-80

17874 Chablis - Vintage 2009Les Clos, Fevre(Wines Located in New York)"Here the wood influence is somewhat more noticeable though not enough to materially detract from the otherwise pure, cool and high-toned white flower, stone and sea breeze suffused aromas that complement well the rich, powerful and intensely mineral-driven flavors

that possess fine focus and verve on the explosively long and oyster shell-infused finish. This is seriously impressive in absolute terms but especially so in the context of the vintage."(95pts BH)2 bottles per lot $130-180

17875 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 2006Les Pucelles, H. Boillot(Wines Located in New York)"A fantastically complex and layered nose of honeysuckle, white flower and lemon peel precedes round, rich and exceptionally stylish medium plus weight flavors that possess buckets of dry extract on the sappy, mouth coating, brilliant defined and palate staining finish. This is also wonderfully sophisticated and classy."(94pts BH)6 bottles per lot $450-600

17880 Chassagne Montrachet - Vintage 1996Les Ruchottes, Ramonet(Wines Located in New York)"Bobby came around with a jero of 1996 Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet Les Ruchottes. It was showing quite well out of jero, standing up to some of its grand cru counterparts. Steely and fresh, there were great, zippy and lemony aromas and flavors, and a buttery core. Hints of mint rounded out this jero, which was really good and flirting with outstanding."(94pts JK)1 bottle per lot $120-160


17881 Chassagne Montrachet - Vintage 2001Les Ruchottes, Ramonet(Wines Located in New York)"There is a bit more of everything with simply beautiful complexity and splendid depth with seemingly endless amounts of sappy, sweet extract and an understated,

long, textured and detailed finish. This is not as edgy as the Caillerets and while there is a clear mineral component to this as well, the Ruchottes is rounder and displays brilliant balance between power yet no lack of finesse..."(92pts BH)1 bottle per lot $100-140


17883 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2000V. Girardin1lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Aromas of minerals, mint, spices, hazelnut and oak char.

17887 Philipponnat Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1999Clos des Goisses1x1 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"Green-gold. Explosive bouquet of musky yellow fruits, cherry pit, toasted grain and minerals; there's something Jura-like about this. Deep, palate-staining mirabelle, peach pit and poached pear flavors are complicated by anise and bitter cherry skin, showing excellent grip. Finishes long and spicy, with excellent breadth. Remarkably complex and singular Champagne, with as much character as any wine I've tried in a long time, from anywhere."(95pts IWC)1 magnum per lot $300-400



17890 Philipponnat Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2000Clos des Goisses

1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"I remember well when I had a wonderful experience amongst the vines in the middle of the slope this year. Dark color and much more masculine compared to the 1999 vintage oddly enough. Concentrated and a little old-fashioned. Impressive power."(94pts RJ)6 bottles per lot $750-1000

17891 Taittinger Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1995Comtes de Champagne(Wines Located in New York)"The hugely impressive 1995 Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs displays ripe apple and pear scents. Broad, rich, deep, and medium to full-bodied, this dense (yet admirable balanced), powerful wine is packed with concentrated layers of white fruits, flowers, and toast. Notes of tangy green apples appear in its awesomely long finish to reinvigorate the palate."(96pts)3 bottles per lot $600-800

17892 Taittinger Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1999Comtes de Champagne(Wines Located in New York)"Smoke, citrus, mint and flowers are some of the nuances that emerge from this fresh, fragrant Champagne. Deceptively lithe on the palate, the wine blossoms with air as it fills out with endless layers of perfumed fruit. The wine can be enjoyed today, even if it comes across as a touch sweet. With time, that sweetness will develop into the liqueur-like perfume that makes older Comtes de Champagne so irresistibly alluring."(95pts VM)2 bottles per lot $300-400

17893 Veuve Clicquot Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1990La Grande Dame Rose1x1 Jeroboam owc (Wines Located in New York)"Salmon-orange with a pale rim. Deep, smoky aromas of strawberry, pear cider, cinnamon, earth and maple syrup. Very rich in the mouth, but also shows excellent verve for a wine with such volume; superripe flavors of strawberry, rose petal, iron and earth. In texture and size, this comes across more like a red wine than a rose Champagne. Spicy finish is long and gripping."(92pts IWC)1 Jeroboam per lot $900-1200


17894 Vilmart Champagne - Vintage NVGrand Cellier1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"The NV Brut Premier Cru cuvée Grand Cellier is a great starting place for readers who want to explore the Vilmart wines. An impeccably balanced, harmonious Champagne, the Grand Cellier has all of the qualities that make the Vilmart Champagnes so appealing. Sweet floral notes meld into expressive bright green orchard fruit, all supported by a faint vein of oak. Subtle hints of spice and white flowers add lift on the vibrant finish. The Grand Cellier is 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, based on the 2009 vintage, with 2008 and 2007 reserve wines. Disgorgement date: November 2011.

17896 Vilmart Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2001Coeur de cuvée(Wines Located in New York)"It is yet another superb Champagne from Vilmart and proprietor Laurent Champs.

Only the heart' of the pressing, the middle 800 liters, is used for the Coeur de cuvée, hence the wine's name."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $300-400

17922 Barolo - Vintage 2001Falletto di Serralunga, B. Giacosa(Wines Located in New York)"The 2001 Barolo Falletto impresses for its layered, silky personality. Sweet roses, tar, licorice and menthol are all woven together in this deceptively medium-bodied Barolo. There is plenty of muscle to back things up. Today the Falletto is quite a bit more delicate than it has been in the past. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $500-700

17923 Barolo - Vintage 2001B. Mascarello(Wines Located in New York)"...one the most quirky and idiosyncratic wines on the market. Initially soft and delicate, it offers a lovely core of open-knit, expressive macerated cherries, raspberries, spices, tar, freshly ground coffee beans and earthiness, giving the impression of being fairly ready to drink. With air, multiple tastings reveal a wine that has put on considerable weight, completely changing its personality to a big, structured Barolo supported by plenty of acidity and tannins to age. Though it freshened up considerably over time, it never became completely clean. At once highly compelling yet frustratingly flawed, it will appeal to readers who can look past its funky notes."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $450-600

After a decade in the bottle, it is displaying a lovely, complex, room-filling bouquet. While more structured than the 2004 and 2007, it still is a silky offering with loads of flavor that appeals to both the intellect and the senses. It will continue providing pleasure for another 15-20 years."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $700-950

17939 Rioja - Vintage 1978Prado Enea Gran Reserva, Bodegas Muga2lbsl, 2 outstanding color and condition (Wines Located in New York)"I couldn't resist commenting on the bottle of the 1978 Prado Enea Gran Reserva the Muga family uncorked when we started talking about old vintages and their idea to replace the corks from the older bottles they have in stock. This one had the original cork and the wine was aged for some four years in used American oak barriques. It has a beautiful nose of black truffle, underbrush, forest floor and an herbal twist with a touch of resin. It's balsamic, heady and intoxicating, developing nuances with time in the glass of brick dust, smoke and mushrooms. The palate is polished, the tannins are fully resolved and the wine has a velvety texture and very pure flavors with great length. Tasty, elegant and harmonious, with great complexity. This is as classical as it gets. 1978 was declared a very good vintage in Rioja. I would say this wine is exceptional. And while fully developed, it can still hold in bottle."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

17940 Rioja - Vintage 1981Prado Enea Gran Reserva, Bodegas Muga(Wines Located in New York)"The 1981 Prado Enea Gran Reserva was regarded as the finest vintage from the decade, even though the following vintage was better received. Apparently, it was such a rapid fermentation that one of the vessels exploded! It has a stunning, youthful, complex, cerebral bouquet that really stops you in your tracks. Pure black currant leaf, mint, cedar, lavender and marmalade soar from the glass. The palate is beautifully balanced with refined tannins, perfect acidity and a mouth-coating

dark chocolate-tinged, cedar finish that shows immense persistence and elegance. It just begins to fade after ten minutes in the glass, so I would not advise decanting it. If you need proof how well Prado Enea evolves, then this is it. Drink now."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $80-100

17941 Rioja - Vintage 1982Prado Enea Gran Reserva, Bodegas Mugaltl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1982 Prado Enea Gran Reserva is much like the 1985; mature, charming, and full of finesse. Drink it over the next 6-8 years."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

_____________________________

18072 Château L'Evangile - Vintage 2005Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 L'Evangile's gorgeous aromatics consist of spring flowers, black raspberries, licorice, truffle and graphite. The wine is full-bodied, rich, still youthful and backward, with sweet tannin and a long, layered, full-bodied mouthfeel. This stunner is capable of another two to three decades of longevity. The greatest L'Evangile since the 1982 and before the heroic duo of 2009 and 2010?"(96pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

18073 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 2005Graves(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 La Mission Haut-Brion is pure perfection. It has an absolutely extraordinary nose of sweet blackberries, cassis and spring flowers with some underlying minerality, a full-bodied mouthfeel, gorgeously velvety tannins (which is unusual in this vintage) and a long, textured, multi-layered finish that

must last 50+ seconds. This is a fabulous wine and a great effort from this hallowed terroir. Drink this modern-day legend over the next 30+ years. Only 5,500 cases were produced of this blend of 69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $400-550

18074 Château Montrose - Vintage 2009St. Estephe(Wines Located in New York)"Some structure and minerality can be detected in the background, but the overall impression is one of massive blackberry, black currant and mulberry fruit intermixed with forest floor, damp earth, crushed rocks and a hint of spring flowers."(100pts)3 bottles per lot $650-850

18075 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 2005Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at the Pontet-Canet vertical in London, the 2005 Château Pontet-Canet has long been one of the stars of the vintage and this might well be the best of over a dozen showings of this wine. However, do not expect ostentation on the nose. This is 2005 and like many wines of this vintage, even with considerable decanting, it remained broody and introspective on the nose, as if it is checking you out and seeing if you are worthy. Once you have been accepted, then it swings the doors open to reveal gorgeous scents of blackberry, briary and cassis fruit, perhaps a little more sous-bois than I have noticed compared to previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied, but dense and structured certainly a more masculine Pontet-Canet built for long-term ageing. Yet it retains marvelous freshness and vitality all the way through to the pencil-lead, quite saline finish. I suspect that the 2009 Pontet-Canet is more approachable than the 2005, so heeding Robert Parker's sage advice, afford this up to ten years in your cellar and then reap the rewards of patience. Tasted February 2016."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

18076 Château Trotanoy - Vintage 2005Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at the Trotanoy vertical in Hong Kong, the 2005 Trotanoy has been an awesome Pomerol since birth. Now at 12 years old, the "giant" is beginning to flex its muscles. It has more red than black fruit, more floral than the likes of the 2000 or 2001, beautifully defined with raspberry coulis, wild strawberry, clove and bay leaf, iris and violet unfurling with continued aeration. The palate has a pleasurable grainy texture and fine salinity. The acidity is extremely well judged, and there is the structure and backbone, perhaps even the stubbornness that defines this great vineyard. There is enormous potential here. Tasted November 2016."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

18079 Château La Tour Blanche - Vintage 2005Sauternes(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the 10-Year On Tasting in Sauternes. The 2005 Château La Tour Blanche has a complex nose with lemon sherbet, orange sorbet, honey and jasmine all soaring from the glass without a care in the world. The palate is medium-bodied with refined tannin, very focused and poised with an elegant, suave finish that has just the right amount of edginess. There is a Barsac-like personality to this La Tour Blanche with a hint of barley sugar on the aftertaste. Overall, this is an impressive Sauternes."(93pts)2 half-bottles per lot $60-80

18080 Château Rieussec - Vintage 2005Sauternes(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Rieussec is a blend of 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle picked between 23 September and 27 October. It has a fabulous bouquet that is mineral-rich and tensile. The palate repeats its performance from last year: focused, tense, laden with botrytis-rich fruit with a crystalline and sorbet-fresh finish that seals the deal. One of the best releases from the estate in recent years. Tasted April 2016."(97pts)2 half-bottles per lot $50-70

18086 Chambertin - Vintage 2008Clos de Bèze, B. Clair(Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is an intensely floral, cool wine graced with exquisite finesse in its dark red berries, flowers, minerals and menthol. It is naturally less obvious than the 2009, but just as convincing. A textured, sweet and multi-dimensional finish rounds things out in style. The Bèze is quite a bit more open than the Bonnes Mares, but it nevertheless needs time, and probably lots of it. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

18087 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2008Clos St. Jacques, B. Clair(Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques opens with an explosive bouquet.

It is a texturally brilliant wine, with a sweet, sensual finish and an utterly refined personality. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

18092 Charmes Chambertin - Vintage 2010B. Dugat-Py(Wines Located in New York)"...is a big, big wine and easily one of the most opulent Charmes of the vintage. Layers of intense blue and black fruit wrap around the palate as the wine opens up in the glass. Despite the richness of the fruit, the silkiness and finesse of the tannins comes through beautifully. The Charmes fills out in all directions as it totally conquers the palate and the senses with its sensual personality."(95-97pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

18094 Charmes Chambertin - Vintage 2011C. Dugat(Wines Located in New York)"An ultra-fresh, cool and equally pure nose features a plethora of red berry scents along with notes of earth, spice, underbrush and a floral element that adds aromatic lift. Not surprisingly, the ripe broad-shouldered flavors are bigger, richer and more powerful with plenty of punch before culminating in a focused, balanced and solidly persistent finish."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $180-240

18095 Latricieres Chambertin - Vintage 2005C. Giroud(Wines Located in New York)"A subtle dash of oak influence highlights the equally dense dark berry fruit nose of surpassing elegance and refinement that complements perfectly the texture and very Gevrey medium full flavors that in contrast to the nose seem less refined than usual. Indeed, this is a powerful Latricières that at present anyway seems to under emphasize the underlying minerality so typical of this cru though the finish is long, velvety and mouth coating."(92-5pts BH)2 bottles per lot $240-320

18096 Ruchottes Chambertin - Vintage 2013C. Roumier(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru from Christophe Roumier has a simpler bouquet than its peers: a little reduced to contend with, later sea spray and iodine scents infusing the tightly wound brambly

red fruit underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, moderate acidity, quite dense though it feels a little "pushed" at the moment, has not quite settled into its groove. I would hope to see more nuance develop in bottle as it was outclassed by Mugneret-Gibourg's own 2013 Ruchottes-Chambertin here. Tasted September 2016."(91pts)2 bottles per lot $400-600

18101 Pommard - Vintage 2002Clos des Epeneaux, Comte Armand(Wines Located in New York)"The extract of black cherry nose that reflects notes of both earth and limestone is classy, elegant, ripe and forceful with sappy, gorgeously intense, very fresh and concentrated flavors of immense depth and reserve. The finish is very pinot in character and while there is plenty of structure, it is sophisticated and relatively fine."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $110-150

18102 Pommard - Vintage 2003Clos des Epeneaux, Comte Armand2bsl, 2nl (Wines Located in New York)"...displays a medium to dark ruby color, waxy black fruit aromas, a medium body, dense dark fruit flavors, and chewy, highly present tannin."(93-95pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

18103 Pommard - Vintage 2005Clos des Epeneaux, Comte Armand

(Wines Located in New York)"...Presently brooding and even more backward with only grudging and very ripe notes of plum, spice and earth in evidence where the earthy character can also be found on the textured, velvety and mouth coating full-bodied flavors blessed by superb depth of material and so much dry extract that the finish is borderline chewy but not at all aggressive."(94pts BH)3 bottles per lot $350-500

18104 Pommard - Vintage 2009Clos des Epeneaux, Comte Armand(Wines Located in New York)"...pure aromas of mocha, red currant, cassis, black cherry, warm earth, violets and subtle spice hints. There is good energy to the intense and admirably rich full-bodied flavors that envelope the palate with velvety sap on the beautifully balanced and impressively persistent finish. I very much like the sense of underlying tension because despite this being a big wine with plenty of concentration, the balance is impeccable and there is absolutely nothing ponderous about this complete effort."(94pts BH)2 bottles per lot $200-260

18105 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2010Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in New York)"Bright, deep red. Crushed blueberry, pomegranate, kirsch and licorice on the very fresh, perfumed nose, lifted by notes of lilac and peony. Suave and seamless on the palate, but with superb energy and lift to the flavors of cherry, purple fruits and spicy oak. Wonderfully juicy, sappy wine with a strong finishing note of blackberry, noble tannins and outstanding rising length. A brilliant Bonnes-Mares."(95+pts VM)1 bottle per lot $320-450

18106 Volnay - Vintage 2002Santenots du Milieu, Comte Lafon(Wines Located in New York)"The 2002 Volnay Santenot has a lovely open, generous bouquet with vibrant red fruit: redcurrant, freshly picked raspberry and wild hedgerow perhaps just a touch of pine cone in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded, succulent entry. It feels harmonious and luscious in the mouth, the tannins just beginning to soften after a decade in bottle. There is something quite feminine about the 2002 although it does not quite possess the complexity or nuance of the 2005. Drink 2015-2030. Tasted September 2013."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

Dark red berries, flowers, mint and spices are woven together beautifully in this lush, generous Charmes. I get the sense the Charmes is shutting down, which is actually an excellent sign for the future. Nevertheless, today, the Charmes is superb.

18118 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2011Clos des Forets, St. Georges, Domaine de l'Arlot(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Nuits Saint Georges Clos des Forets St Georges 2011 is closed on the nose compared to the Clos de l'Arlot: rather subdued with blackberry and sous-bois notes trying to get out from the glass with which they seem tethered. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, lithe red cherries and strawberry fruit with a taut and linear, quite spicy finish that lingers nicely. Very fine but it needs another 3-4 years in bottle."(90pts)2 bottles per lot $90-120

18119 Romanée St. Vivant - Vintage 2009Domaine de l'Arlot(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Romanée St. Vivant has no beginning and no end. It just exists in the glass as a monument to the greatness of Burgundy. I could describe the aromas and flavors. There is plenty of dark fruit, mocha and exotic spices, but that would be a total disservice to the wine. The Romanée St. Vivant impresses for its weightless power and massive structure. It is not a seductive, floral Romanée St. Vivant. Readers can find that elsewhere. This is a wine that impresses for its depth, structure and sheer intensity. It is very Richebourg-like in many ways. I loved it. Anticipated maturity: 2024-2044."(97pts)1 magnum per lot $700-900

18120 Vosne Romanée - Vintage 2005Les Suchots, Domaine de l'Arlot(Wines Located in New York)"Just assembled and in consequence a bit disturbed by sulfur in its finish, the 2005 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots offers smoky, gamey, floral and black-fruited aromas, a rich, darkly-hued palate of blackberry, beet root, bitter chocolate and licorice, and fine-grained but substantial tannic structure."(90-92+pts)1 bottle per lot $90-120

18121 Corton - Vintage 2005Les Pougets, Domaine de Montille(Wines Located in New York)"A nose of primarily red raspberry aromas with background notes of cranberry, orange peel and earth leads to round, intense and pure medium full flavors that are decidedly finer than most examples of Corton,

all wrapped in a linear, direct and vibrant finish of admirable length."(91-93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $75-100

18122 Vosne Romanée - Vintage 2010Les Malconsorts, Domaine de Montille(Wines Located in New York)"An exquisitely spicy nose of violets, red currant, plum and even background hints of cassis slides gracefully into rich, intense and highly energetic medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of the usual muscularity of a fine Malconsorts. Both the mid-palate and hugely long finish are shaped by very firm but ripe tannins that contribute to the overt austerity of mouth coating finale."(93-95pts BH)2 bottles per lot $450-600

This powerful, long and serious vintage of Clos des Lambrays is built for the medium plus term..."(94pts BH)1 magnum per lot $400-600

18125 Clos des Lambrays - Vintage 2010Domaine des Lambrays(Wines Located in New York)"A highly expressive and very broad nose of superb aromatic complexity that includes earth, game, spice, red currant, plum, violets and a hint of the sauvage. The round and supple flavors possess outstanding detail and while the complexity doesn't quite match that of the exquisite nose, it's not far behind and this culminates in a beautifully balanced and harmonious finish that delivers striking persistence."(94pts BH)2 bottles per lot $400-500

18131 Latricieres Chambertin - Vintage 2011Drouhin-Laroze(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru 2011 from Drouhin-Laroze has an intriguing and complex bouquet: a mixture of red and black fruit, some stem-like scents; autumn woodland and undergrowth developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy cranberry and strawberry fruit underpinned by fine tannins and plenty of body toward the finish. Still youthful and vibrant, I suspect this has a long and prosperous future ahead."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $75-100

18132 Romanée St. Vivant - Vintage 2009Follin-Arbelet(Wines Located in New York)"A ripe and exuberantly spicy nose also features an expansive range of fruit aromas that include red, blue and black berries plus plum nuances.

18133 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2009Combe Aux Moines, Fourrier(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Le Combe Aux Moines is a dazzling wine loaded with superb richness and depth in its dark red fruit. This shows marvelous power and a seamless quality to the fruit that is head spinning in its beauty. The finish turns positively explosive. This is gorgeous juice! Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034."(93+pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

18134 Chambertin - Vintage 2008Clos de Bèze, G. Raphet(Wines Located in New York)


18135 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 2010G. Raphet(Wines Located in New York)"An admirably fresh and pure nose of primarily red berry fruit exudes whiffs of the sauvage and leather, both of which are reflected by the tautly muscled medium-bodied flavors. There is plenty of punch to the solidly complex and persistent finish that displays good balance and plenty of youthful austerity and this will clearly need a few years of bottle age before it's completely ready for prime time."(92pts BH)1 bottle per lot $85-120

18136 Clos Vougeot - Vintage 2009G. Raphet(Wines Located in New York)1 bottle per lot $100-140

18137 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2014G. Roumier(Wines Located in New York)"Here the nose is more expressive than it normally is with an unusually perfumed and highly spiced collection of liqueur-like dark currant, plum, violet, earth and sandalwood scents that are trimmed in discreet oak nuances. The sleek, cool and again relatively elegant big-bodied flavors possess strikingly good mid-palate concentration before delivering flat out superb complexity on the muscular but balanced and hugely long finish. This terrific effort is a definite 'wow' wine and built to enjoy an extremely long life."(95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $750-1000

18139 Chambolle Musigny - Vintage 2010Les Cras, Ghislaine Barthod(Wines Located in New York)"Nothing really stands out in the 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras. The wine is simply beautiful from start to finish. There is more than enough depth and density to stand up to the firm tannins that are typical of this site. Dark red cherries, spices, menthol and new oak fill out the virtually seamless finish. Once again, the wine's balance and overall sense of proportion are both first-rate. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030."(92-94pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

18140 Clos Vougeot - Vintage 2009Musigni, Gros Frere et Soeur(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Clos de Vougeot-Musigny is a beautifully centered wine that expresses the personality of the vintage while retaining plenty of freshness. An exotic concoction of racy, floral-infused raspberries, spices, mint, rose petals and hard candy emerges from this seductive, alluring Burgundy. This is a flamboyant wine

full of intrigue for the future. The open, radiant finish is backed up by plenty of energy. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

18142 Richebourg - Vintage 2009Hudelot-Noellat(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Richebourg shows marvelous persistence, depth and power. Not surprisingly, this is a rather inward, tightly coiled wine. With time in the glass, endless nuances of sweet herbs, mint, anise and crushed flowers add complexity to the fruit. This shows terrific depth and incisiveness in a totally convincing style. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034."(93+pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

18144 Volnay - Vintage 2005Clos des Santenots, J. Prieur(Wines Located in New York)"From yet another Prieur monopole, the 2005 Volnay Clos des Santenots displays ravishingly intense aromas and flavors of black raspberry and cassis, with dark chocolate, wet stone, graphite, chalk, and salts lending layers of complexity. A bit tannic and marked by toasty barrels in the finish, this might turn out to taste overdone in its sweetness for some tastes, but certainly there is ample mineral complexity."(91-92pts)1 bottle per lot $70-80

18145 Vosne Romanée - Vintage 2005Les Chaumes, J. Tardy(Wines Located in New York)1 bottle per lot $80-110

18146 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2005Clos de la Marechale, J.F. Mugnier(Wines Located in New York)"In contrast to the expressiveness of the first two '05s, here there is a completely different aromatic profile and one that is brooding with more deeply pitched and quite ripe blue and violet aromas combining with pungent earth and game hints that continue onto the sweet, rich and sappy flavors wrapped around a firm tannic spine. This is impressive as it is clearly Nuits in character yet with refined and sophisticated structural elements."(92pts BH)1 bottle per lot $75-100

18147 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2009Clos de la Marechale, J.F. Mugnier

(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Clos de la Marechale shows the more virile side of Pinot. Black cherries smoke, tar and licorice all come to life in this intense, broad-shouldered wine. Layers of fruit build to the muscular, virile finish. The wine's masculine personality is quite a contrast to the seductiveness of Mugnier's other 2009s. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

18148 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2010Clos de la Marechale, J.F. Mugnier(Wines Located in New York)"...shows marvelous depth and the richness to match its decidedly powerful, virile personality. This has tons of fruit and muscle, yet also possesses the fabulous inner perfume and mineral-driven energy that is such a signature of the vintage."(91-93pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

18149 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2013Clos de la Marechale, J.F. Mugnier(Wines Located in New York)"The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and perhaps more structured than expected, with a dash of spice towards the finish that completes what is a wonderful Clos de la Maréchale from Frédéric Mugnier. Two words...load up."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $50-65

18150 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2014Clos de la Marechale, J.F. Mugnier(Wines Located in New York)"Brilliant pale yellow. Knockout delicate perfume of citrus peel, wild herbs and acacia flower. Dense but weightless in the mouth, with its superb sweetness of fruit perfectly countered by penetrating minerality. This wonderfully sappy white wine delivers outstanding energy and life in the mouth. Its dusty, sappy, extremely long finish saturates the palate without flagging."(94pts VM)2 bottles per lot $110-150

18154 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2005Les Damodes, Jayer-Gilles(Wines Located in New York)"The Jayer-Gilles 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Damodes again displays an aromatic and gustatory diversity of ripe black fruits, tight concentration but plenty of freshness and vigor. The dark side of the vintage (notwithstanding bright acids) is illustrated by almost bitterly-concentrated herbal essence and fruit skins, roasted meats, smoked, toasted nuts, pungent brown spices, and wet stones. This is amazingly unevolved but amazingly long ... and those last two words might describe the time that must elapse before it becomes really drinkable. I'd plan to check in on it again in 4-5 years."(92-94pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

18155 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 2007L. & A. Lignier(Wines Located in New York)1 bottle per lot $150-200

18156 Chambertin - Vintage 2005cuvée Heritiers Latour, L. Latour(Wines Located in New York)"A clear step up in aromatic complexity with a wonderful range of spice nuances, including anise, clove and cinnamon plus ripe dark and gamy fruit aromas where the sense of the sauvage continues onto the rich, full and sweet flavors that possess outstanding volume and power. This is a bruiser of a Chambertin but it's not rustic and I particularly like the mouth coating sappiness on the impressively long finish."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $90-120

18157 Corton Grancey - Vintage 2005L. Latour(Wines Located in New York)"A rich, sumptuous red, with a velvety texture and cherry compote and spice notes. It has a sweetness at its center, but lively acidity and firm tannins too. Good lingering finish. Approachable now, but will get better."(92pts WS)1 bottle per lot $60-80

18158 Corton - Vintage 2002Clos du Roi, La Pousse D'or(Wines Located in New York)"The 2002 Corton Clos du Roi reveals scents of raspberries, flowers, and cherries. Medium-bodied and pure, it is a slightly firmer wine than the Bressandes. Its flavor profile displays regal layers of red and black fruits intermingled with stones. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020."(90-93pts)2 bottles per lot $120-160

18159 Volnay - Vintage 2005Clos des 60 Ouvrees, La Pousse D'or

(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Volnay Caillerets Clos des 60 Ouvrees (like the Clos d'Audinac and Clos de la Bousse d'Or, a monopole) features the oldest vines in the estate's Volnay holdings, more than half of them planted in the mid fifties. Black cherry, purple plum, pistachio, ginger, and cumin inform the nose. On the palate this offers old vines creaminess, flattering glycerin, and yet also a persistently bright freshness of black fruits. A deep, lingering, faintly caramel-inflected bitter-sweetness, spice, and chalk further testifies to the concentration in this wine, which surpasses the Bousse d'Or in structure and gives it a hard run for its money in the charm department. Check on this in 8-10 years but then figure on another decade of improvement in the cellar."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

18162 Clos St. Denis - Vintage 2005Lucien Le Moine(Wines Located in New York)"Amazingly, Saouma relates not only that his 2005 Clos St.-Denis only finished its alcoholic fermentation (with 14.5% alcohol) more than a year after harvest, but every year the wine from this cru completes its alcoholic fermentation only after completing the malolactic. He claims that this site's sandy, porous soil promotes both high extract and high sugar. Bitter-sweet black cherry and chocolate, peat, and humus fill the nose. The rich, voluminous palate is dominated by chocolate-covered cherries with bitter cherry pit accents. Opulent and rich, certainly amazingly powerful, this wine nevertheless retains clarity and subtlety, betraying only the slightest trace of heat in its long, palate-staining, smoky, peat-like, bitter-sweetly black-fruited finish. Certainly this seems a candidate for long aging, although its shape and personality may well change significantly in coming months, given how recently it began its post-fermentative existence."(92-94+?pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

18169 Volnay - Vintage 2005Clos du Château des Ducs, M. Lafarge(Wines Located in New York)"This is coming along quite well though interesting the gentle touch of wood this displayed upon release is still present on the ripe yet cool and pure red berry liqueur-suffused nose that is displaying only a hint of secondary development. The intense minerality this wine consistently reveals is very much in evidence and it continues onto the vibrant, refined, pure and beautifully detailed flavors that are underpinned by a velvety mouth feel, firm tannins and an explosive finish."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $200-240

18170 Volnay - Vintage 2008Clos du Château des Ducs, M. Lafarge(Wines Located in New York)"A superbly fresh and beautifully layered nose of cool red berry fruit, floral notes and wet stone, the latter of which is present in abundance on the rich yet beautifully detailed middle weight flavors brimming with minerality and energy, all wrapped in a focused, linear and precise finish of huge length, which remains at present youthfully austere."(94pts BH)1 bottle per lot $100-130

18174 Chambolle Musigny - Vintage 2009Les Feusselottes, Mugneret-Gibourg(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes is oddly enough much more typical of this wine than the 2010 tasted alongside it. The Feusselottes is quite closed, though. With time in the glass some of the red fruit and flowers begin to emerge, but the 2009 remains somewhat shut down. It shows lovely textural richness and depth all the way through to the layered, sexy finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029."(92+pts)1 bottle per lot $240-320

18175 Échézeaux - Vintage 2008Mugneret-Gibourg(Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Échézeaux is flat-out great. It is a deep, dark wine graced with exquisite balance, lovely inner perfume and a layered, eternal finish. Here the slightly higher percentage of new oak (70%) gives the wine an additional measure of volume. The Échézeaux is made from two parcels; Les Rouges du Bas (just in front of Clos Vougeot) and Les Quartiers de Nuits (next to Clos Vougeot) vinified together. Everything of the Échézeaux is first-class. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $400-600

18176 Échézeaux - Vintage 2009Mugneret-Gibourg(Wines Located in New York)"The 2009 Échézeaux comes across as rich, powerful and totally seductive. It shows considerable richness and depth in a more immediate style than the 2010. The aromatics and nuance of the 2010 are missing, but in exchange readers will find a deep, fleshy wine that will deliver considerable pleasure with minimum cellaring. I especially like the intensity of the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2034."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

18179 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2009O. Bernstein(Wines Located in New York)"Discreet wood frames notably ripe aromas of cassis, violets and earth where the latter is also picked up by the exceptionally rich, powerful and broad-scaled

flavors that brim with dry extract that confers a supple and velvety mouth feel onto the precise and explosive finish."(92-94pts BH)1 bottle per lot $140-180

18180 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 2013O. Bernstein(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has an elegant bouquet, not as energetic as Virgile Lignier's own Clos de la Roche, adorned with earthy black fruit and dried flower (iris and violet) aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet ripe raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, the tannins exerting a gentle grip in the mouth, fine structure with impressive density on the svelte and modern-style finish. Perhaps more approachable than other Clos de la Roche 2013s, yet this is still a worthy wine. Tasted September 2016."(90pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

hints of allspice, tar, smoke and camphor add elements of darkness to the Perrières..."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

18188 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2005Les Roncieres, R. Chevillon(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Roncieres offers a fascinating Cabernet Franc-like hint of machine oil along with ripe red cherry, tobacco, cedar, and wood smoke in the nose. Clean, sweet, bright fruit makes for an intense and refreshing palate impression and the finish introduces carnal notes, faint bitterness of herbal concentrate, persistent ripe red fruit with invigorating tart fruit skin notes, and a hint of new wood that Chevillon says is there because this wine was so late to go through malo and to be racked out of its initial one-third new wood and into older barrels."(91-92pts)1 bottle per lot $70-100

18189 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2009Les Roncieres, R. Chevillon(Wines Located in New York)"Moderate wood influence does not unduly hamper the attractiveness of the otherwise fresh and bright earthy and high-toned red pinot fruit suffused nose. The rich and solidly structured medium-bodied flavors possess copious amounts of mid-palate sap, which is a good thing because the impressively persistent finish is firm to the point of being chewy."(90-93pts BH)2 bottles per lot $120-160

18190 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2010Les Roncieres, R. Chevillon(Wines Located in New York)"The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Roncieres boasts gorgeous inner perfume. Freshly cut roses, hard candy and the sweetest, juiciest of red berries burst from the glass in this totally seductive, sensual wine. Here, too, the sheer depth of the fruit is striking. This is a great showing from Chevillon. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035."(93-95pts)1 bottle per lot $70-90

18191 Grands Échézeaux - Vintage 1999R. Engel(Wines Located in New York)"Intriguing nose of black raspberry, roast coffee and game.

Finishes with excellent length and a note of red licorice."(90-92ptsIWC)1 bottle per lot $700-900

18194 Richebourg - Vintage 2005Thibault Liger-Belair(Wines Located in New York)"As darkly rich and deep as are several of the wines in this year's collection, it is perhaps not surprising that the Thibault Liger-Belair 2005 Richebourg from 70 year-old vines that he speculates are the oldest in the appellation (though we've heard this before, at Lucien Le Moine) would be in every sense dark and deep. Palate-staining bitter blackberry and cassis concentrates, roasted, singed meat, and pan juices, intense smokiness, and peaty earthiness mount a veritable siege of the palate. An oaky whiff of coconut and caramel is extraneous, but in this context hardly annoying. This is among the most powerful Pinots of the vintage, not at all charming, but signaling grand aspirations and potential if given at least a decade in the cellar. (The 2004 was scarcely less concentrated or darkly-hued, but displayed a bit more raw tannin and heat.)"(92-94pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

18195 Richebourg - Vintage 2006Thibault Liger-Belair(Wines Located in New York)"Liger-Belair signified to me that his 2006 Richebourg was shut down, but if so, then when it opens up, watch out! What I experienced was a plethora of red and black berries and spices; a black raspberry and cherry liqueur-like impression on a viscous, rich palate, but with tart fruit skin and salt adding invigoration; and a finish that opened up profound carnal and mineral vistas and left my palate with the impression it was glowing. Just over 14% alcohol is not in the least noticeable here. Firmly and seamlessly structured, energizing and penetrating, this monument to the vintage (even if it seems as though it dropped in from a different one) ought to be put away for half a dozen years at least and should perform well for at least twice that long. For me, this clearly eclipses the already outstanding 2005, which is a tribute to the rapid progress that this young vigneron has made. There are eight barrels (circa 200 cases) of it, incidentally, by Burgundian standards not really rare."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

18200 Barolo - Vintage 2006Cicala, A. Conterno(Wines Located in New York)"The 2006 Barolo Cicala is another serious, austere Barolo that is tightly wound at this stage. Here the fruit is darker and more intense than in the Colonnello, while the aromatics tend towards menthol, pine, spices and all things balsamic. Sweet, powerful and layered, the 2006 Cicala finishes with a blast of roasted coffee beans, licorice and mint. This is an absolutely wonderful, complete Barolo from Aldo Conterno. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

18201 Barolo - Vintage 2007Cicala, A. Conterno(Wines Located in New York)"The 2007 Barolo Cicala is every bit as compelling as the Colonello, although it is completely different in its personality. Here the poor soils yield a massively tannic Barolo infused with minerals, violets, menthol, tar and new leather. While the Colonello is a more overt, fruit-driven Barolo, the Cicala plays off its structural components to a far greater degree. The wine's inner perfume and minerality dazzle from start to finish. This is another magnificent Barolo from Aldo Conterno. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

18202 Barolo - Vintage 2006Granbussia Riserva, A. Conterno(Wines Located in New York)"The 2006 Barolo Riserva Granbussia is exceedingly "Piemontese" in character. The wine follows in local tradition with a bouquet that is ethereal and fine, yet powerful and long-lasting at the same time. It is shy and reticent at first, but once it starts to open the wine seemingly never stops. There are notes of black fruit, spice, tar, licorice, pencil shaving and a touch of rusty nail. The wine shows beautiful finesse and will definitely endure a long and prosperous drinking window. The tannins show silky integration and there is an enormous push of power and persistence in the palate."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

18203 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2006Cerbaiona(Wines Located in New York)"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino literally explodes onto the palate with masses of dark cherries, plums, wild herbs, menthol and spices. Hard candy and gorgeous inner perfume emerge from a sweet, ripe and totally expressive core. The finish is elegant, decisive and eternal. At times the Cerbaiona 2006 has been surprisingly dark and weighty while other tastings have shown the more finessed side of the wine. Either way, it is a Brunello to buy and bury in the deepest corner of the cellar. It is a mythical, legendary wine in the making. The Brunello spent 40 months in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031."(98pts)1 magnum per lot $350-500

Deiss(Wines Located in New York)"From a field blend of Riesling, early ripening Muscat and diverse Pinot varieties cultivated on decomposed granite soils in Saint-Hippolyte, the 2013 Langenberg is super clear, fresh and floral on the nose, with concentrated lemon, pineapple and crystalline flavors. On the palate this is a very clear, lean, fresh, pure and salty white, with a lot of grip and tension. The finish is stimulatingly crystalline and salty with good grip."(91pts)5 bottles per lot $150-200

18231 Pinot Gris - Vintage 2010Heimbourg, Zind Humbrecht2nl (Wines Located in New York)"Zind-Humbrecht's 2010 Pinot Gris Heimbourg barely skirts 15% alcohol after fermenting to a level of residual sugar that engenders only slight sweetness supportive of its custard-like textural richness uncannily allied to Riesling-like primary juiciness as well as of its flavors of ripe peach, pineapple and liquefying heliotrope and lily perfume. Where noble mushrooms added interest to the corresponding Herrenweg, here there is a more exotic, animal element that suggests urchin roe, which when allied with salinity makes for a mouthwateringly savory as well as intriguing not to mention richly fruited, long finish thankfully unmarred by alcoholic heat or harshness. Humbrecht thinks the texture and overall soothing aspect of this wine owes much to its long stay on the lees, though not only its aforementioned primary juiciness but also the hints of chalk and pepper impinging as you swallow serve for delightful stimulation (not least of the next sip!). Plan to follow this beauty through at least 2025."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $60-80

18233 Pinot Gris - Vintage 2010Rotenberg, Zind Humbrecht3nl (Wines Located in New York)"Zind-Humbrecht's 2010 Pinot Gris Rotenberg dramatically reflects the cool northwestern exposure of its site in having been picked relatively late yet having finished with only 13.4% alcohol and a level of residual sugar that remains only subtly supportive. That such a constitution is nevertheless unusual for a Rotenberg Pinot Gris results from the fact that these vines usually succumbing to botrytis, which in 2010, however, largely stayed-away. Ripe peaches, smoked meats, musk and noble mushrooms present a classic portrait of Alsace Pinot Gris, the wine's zesty phenolic pungency being allied to smokiness and toasted nut piquancy in a sustained if not especially focused or juicy finish. This firm rendition of Rotenberg nevertheless conveys ample mid-palate energy to accompany its complexity, and I suspect that it will merit revisiting through 2025."(91pts)3 bottles per lot $90-120

18252 Priorat Blanco - Vintage 2013Pedra de Guix, Terroir Al Limit Soc. Lda.(Wines Located in New York)"The 2013 Pedra de Guix is a blend of the same amount of Garnacha Blanca on slate from Poboleda, Pedro Ximenez on clay from Lloar and very old Macabeo on stony soils from Torroja. It's low in alcohol and high-ish in acidity. The must was fermented in 500-liter oak barrels separately with indigenous yeasts after a direct pressing of the bunches, and was kept in those same 500-liter oak barrels for one year, then was blended and put in foudre for a further year. The result is obviously a slight (intentional) oxidative style. There is a note of honeycomb and pollen, some quince, yellow flowers and developing higher-pitched aromas with time in the glass, as if the oxidative character blows off and the wine feels fresher in contact with air. I think this has potential for a long life in bottle. It somehow made me

think of a white Hermitage. 4,636 bottles were filled in August 2015."(94pts)5 bottles per lot $200-280

18325 Tyler Pinot Noir - Vintage 2012Sanford & Benedict1nl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2012 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict is another beautiful wine that exemplifies the fresher, focused style

of the estate. Sporting a pretty translucent color, it gives up ample menthol, framboise and citrus blossom to go with a medium-bodied, energetic and vibrant texture that carries bright acidity and terrific length. Playing in that pretty, refined and elegant style, it should evolve gracefully through 2020."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $60-80

18328 Memorious Pinot Noir - Vintage 2013Domaine de la Côte(Wines Located in New York)"From a tiny 3.5-acre plot in the Sta. Rita Hills that's southwest facing and battered by the incessant winds of the region, the 2013 Pinot Noir Memorious is the last to be harvested and, according to Sashi, tends to be more burly and structured due to its think skins. It has the classic Domaine de la Côte bouquet of rose petal, salt block, underbrush and strawberries to go with a medium-bodied, layered and pretty style on the palate. The acidity is nicely integrated, it has plenty of fruit through the mid-palate and a clean finish. Already drinking nicely, it should evolve nicely through 2021."(91pts)3 bottles per lot $60-80
