This wine boasts amazing richness, a huge, full-bodied impact on the palate (yet no sense of heaviness), low acidity, gorgeous ripeness, and a finish that lasts for 35+ seconds.

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)1 bottle per lot $800-1100

The gorgeously pure wine possesses fabulous intensity, layer upon layer of concentration, high tannin, and a silky character that suggest full physiological grape maturity was obtained. The finish lasts for over a minute. As the wine sat in the glass, aromas of licorice, leather, and smoky black fruits (primarily blackberry and cassis) emerged."(98pts)1 magnum per lot $350-500

As this wine has aged, it appears to be less of a sure bet. In most cases, it has been an outstanding wine, as the bottle tasted in December suggested."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $400-500

4561 Château Latour - Vintage 1948Pauillachs, bsl, nl, outstanding color (Wines Located in New York)"The 1948 Latour was much bigger and oakier in its nose, with lots of wood and green bean fruit behind it. The palate was rich and heavy, fleshy and fresh with wonderful texture and a zippy finish. Its wood blew off into a waterfall of cascading cassis and beef, and its weight stood out in this flight. Coffee and chocolate flavors emerged with air, and the wine really started to sing after some time in the glass. I have had this vintage twice before and always been underwhelmed, but I guess I didn't have them from the right cellar."(95pts JK)1 bottle per lot $1400-1800

6773 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 1986Sauternesbn, lscl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)" Enthralling bouquet of pineapples, saut ed hazelnuts, vanillin, and ripe apricots is breathtaking.

6774 Chambertin - Vintage 2005C. Giroud(Wines Located in New York)"There are actually several different cuvées of this wine and at the time of my tasting, Croix had not decided what he was going to use for the final blend. The best of them featured a reserved and very backward, indeed almost brooding nose of ripe and distinctly earth red pinot fruit plus a touch of animale that merges seamlessly into textured, powerful and pure big-bodied flavors that despite the size, richness and raw muscle are harmonious and perfectly balanced."(93-6pts BH)1 bottle per lot $150-200

6775 Latricieres Chambertin - Vintage 2005

C. 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 $200-280

6776 Mazoyeres Chambertin - Vintage 2005Domaine de la Vougeraie1nl (Wines Located in New York)"This smells ripe, yet has plenty of concentration and grip. Cherry, red currant and raspberry notes mingle with the bright acidity, and this picks up a mineral edge on the finish. Seems approachable now, but should age well. Best from 2012 through 2025. 296 cases made."(94pts WS)4 bottles per lot $320-420

6777 Clos des Lambrays - Vintage 2005Domaine des Lambrays1lscl, 1ltl (Wines Located in New York)"A much more deeply pitched nose of dark berry fruit, spice, earth, a hint of animale and an overlay of obvious minerality complements perfectly the rich, full and sweet broad-scaled yet elegant flavors that are solidly structured and firm on the detailed and wonderfully intense finish.

6791 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2000cuvée de Capo, Domaine du Pegau(Wines Located in New York)"The extraordinary nose reveals aromas of kirsch liqueur, new saddle leather, animal fur, Provencal herbs, spice box, licorice, and a salty sea breeze character. On the palate, the wine is enormous, with an unctuosity, thickness, and purity that must be tasted to be believed it has very high levels of tannin, but the tannin is barely noticeable given the wine s exaggerated wealth of richness and power. This is a modern day

legend in the making..."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $800-1100

6792 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1966nl, outstanding color and condition (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. Majestic aftertaste."(96pts RJ)1 bottle per lot $700-900

6793 Solaia - Vintage 1997Antinorilscl (Wines Located in New York)"Dark ruby in color, with extremely ripe raisin and spice aromas.

6795 Vigna d'Alceo - Vintage 1999Castello di Rampolla(Wines Located in New York)"The monumental 1999 Vigna d'Alceo boasts an exceptionally provocative nose of liquid minerals, graphite, plums, Crème de cassis, and cherry liqueur. It is fabulously concentrated yet remarkably light on its feet, with medium to full body, sweet tannin, and layer upon layer of flavor nuances. There is plenty of glycerin in this rich, but neither heavy nor overbearing effort. This is a thrilling tour de force!..."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $130-170

It boasts a fabulous perfume of melted licorice mixed with high quality espresso roast, black cherry and currant liqueur, white flowers, and toast. Boasting great intensity, glorious ripeness, formidable purity, and a finish that lasts nearly a minute, this is the stuff of dreams!

Vanilla, spice box, truffle, wild blueberry, black raspberry, and blackberry liqueur are descriptors that come to mind but which cannot really convey the other-worldy nature of this perfume. On the palate, it is opulent, beautifully delineated, elegant and powerful all at the same time.

6822 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2006Eisele Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Very ripe aromas of black raspberry, mocha, coffee and nutty oak, plus strong soil tones of spice, tobacco and iron. Wonderfully ripe and full but with a sappy menthol lift to the flavors of currant, minerals, mocha, tobacco and game. There's something Graves-like to this compellingly sweet wine. Compared to the Altagracia, the estate's flagship bottling has more of everything, including class. A worthy successor to the superlative 2005."(95pts IWC)5 bottles per lot $750-1000

6823 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999wisl, ll (Wines Located in New York)"A dark, saturated, mouthcoating wine that's fairly muscular, loaded with plush smoky currant, herb, coffee, plum, hazelnut, mocha and mineral. Finishes with a potent gush of flavors and a wall of rich, ripe

tannins."(97pts WS)1 bottle per lot $200-280

6824 Colgin Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994Herb Lamb Vineyardlstl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"Is a totally dry wine, but the sweetness and taste of this wine's fruit is akin to a savory blend of a chocolate-covered, blueberry/cassis-filled candy bar and vanilla ice cream melting in the mouth. This full-bodied wine is silky, seductive, opulent, voluptuously-textured, and etraordinarily fragrant, expansive, and rich."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $240-320

6825 Colgin Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1995Herb Lamb Vineyard1nl (Wines Located in New York)"As a friend said after tasting a Colgin Cabernet Sauvignon, "they float like a butterfly, but sting like a bee."

6826 Colgin Red - Vintage 2011IX Estate1x3 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"Wonderfully scented nose offers dark currant, black olive, licorice, smoke, caramel oak and shoe polish, all lifted by an exhilarating note of tangerine oil. Sappy, sweet and smooth, showing compelling mineral and floral lift to the intense dark berry flavors. Again, this is not a powerhouse but its penetration and lift are remarkable.

It is also a strong candidate for a three-digit score in a few years. This is a winemaking tour de force!..."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

6833 Peter Michael Red - Vintage 2005Les Pavots(Wines Located in New York)"...is a sensational wine, with a style that suggests a hypothetical blend of a great St.-Emilion and Pomerol. Chocolatey cassis notes intermixed with incense, licorice, and a hint of black olive are present in this wine. When it hits the palate, it comes across as very Pomerol-like, with lushness, full body, and opulence.

bn, lbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"This extraordinary wine is backward and unevolved, but even neophytes will recognize its potential greatness.

Sweet, decadently rich, dense, highly extracted flavors are wrapped around a full-bodied, chewy, super-concentrated, moderately tannic wine that, ideally, needs 7-8 more years of cellaring."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $120-150

6865 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1996Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted three times since bottling, the 1996 Lafite-Rothschild is unquestionably this renowned estate's greatest wine. As I indicated last year, only 38% of the crop was deemed grand enough to be put into the final blend, which is atypically high in Cabernet Sauvignon (83%). This massive wine may be the biggest, largest-scaled Lafite I have ever tasted. It will require many years to come around...the wine exhibits a thick-looking, ruby/purple color, and a knock-out nose of lead pencil, minerals, flowers, and black currant scents. Extremely powerful and full-bodied, with remarkable complexity for such a young wine, this huge Lafite is oozing with extract and richness, yet has managed to preserve its quintessentially elegant personality. This wine is even richer than it was prior to bottling. It should unquestionably last for 40-50 years."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $750-1000

One of the three bottles served at the Château's tasting revealed a surprisingly aggressive, minty, herbaceous nose, but the other two bottles were liquid perfection, exhibiting fragrant, cedary, truffle, leather, mineral, and sweet, jammy aromatics, full-bodied, voluptuous textures, exquisite purity and concentration, and a layered, highly-nuanced finish that represents the essence of compellingly great wine. The 1961 has been fully mature for over 15 years, but it seems to get richer, holding onto its succulence and fat, and developing more aromatic nuances without losing any sweetness or concentration. An extraordinary wine, it is unquestionably one of the Bordeaux legends of the century!..."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $3000-4000

6868 Château Latour - Vintage 1985Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Rich and ripe wine. Dark red color with an amber edge. Loads of meat, berry and tobacco character on the nose. Very rich.

Extremely high in tannin, but with the concentration and muscle to support its brawny structure, this is a big, dense, old fashioned wine...Full-bodied and impressively-endowed, as well as harmonious, Leoville-Barton has turned in an exemplary performance."(91pts)6 bottles per lot $350-450

In the mouth, this presents a smelted alliance of liqueur-like black fruit essence, saline minerality, and deep, roasted meatiness. A subtly oily, creamily-textured feel covers a wealth of refined tannins. For all of its sheer finishing, distilled-fruit intensity and grip, this never neglects the first duty of wine to refresh and displays gravity-defying lift as it heads down the runway and takes off for a spectacularly long, high-flying finish of utmost clarity and replete with nuances. Plan on following this wine should you be so lucky as to latch

"Roberto Conterno continues this strong series with a Cascina Francia that is breathtaking for its elegance, poise and sheer beauty. Even better from bottle than it was from cask, the 2001 Barolo Cascina Francia displays a stunning nose of roses, spices and crushed raspberries with delicate layers of sweet dark red fruit, licorice and menthol flavors on a medium-bodied frame, closing with great freshness and fine, noble tannins. Several recent bottles suggest that this Barolo has put on some additional weight over the last few months. Despite its initially restrained impression there is plenty of structure and body underneath. It will be a fascinating wine to follow over the next several decades. One of the best Cascina Francias I have ever tasted, and among the very finest wines of this great vintage."(96pts)4 bottles per lot $500-700

7112 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 2000St. Julien(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)1 bottle per lot $100-150

The tendency for Leoville-Poyferre to produce hard, lean wines was avoided in 1983. A sleeper of the vintage, it is still available at reasonable prices."(91pts)2 bottles per lot $160-220

7115 Château Meyney - Vintage 1982St. Estephe1bn, 2lscl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York)"...is so concentrated, alcoholic, and thick that it will easily last for another two decades. The wine's color is a saturated, nearly opaque purple/garnet. The huge nose of melted road tar, black fruits, smoked meats, and herbs is penetrating and intense. Full-bodied, and almost too jammy and thick to drink without authoritatively flavored dishes to accompany it, this large-scaled wine lacks finesse, but compensates with its full-throttle power and presence."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

7121 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.

seamless finish that goes on for close to one minute. This wine has great purity, tremendous texture, and fabulous upside potential."(97pts)1 magnum per lot $320-450

7122 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 1996Pauillacnl (Wines Located in New York)"...the 1994, 1995, and 1996 wines have had more in common with Latour than any other Pauillac. The 1996 looks to be another classic for Pontet-Canet. An opaque purple color, and a backward but huge, promising nose of sweet black fruits, fruitcake, earth, and spice are followed by an old style Pauillac that appears to have been made with no compromises."(92pts)1 magnum per lot $150-200

7134 Château Haut Brion Blanc - Vintage 1996Graves(Wines Located in New York)"In a vintage that produced a lot of high acid, emaciated dry whites, Haut-Brion's 1996 is the wine of the vintage. It displays exceptional concentration, tangy acidity, and gorgeously layered flavors of buttery citrus-like fruit, olives, and smoke. This medium-bodied, concentrated wine is quite backward.

With terrific acidity, a voluptuous/unctuous palate, and sweet, powerful flavors buttressed by crisp acidity, it is a phenomenal Sauternes."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $240-320

The firm tannins are suave and the backend explosive and while this is carrying plenty of oak, there is so much mid-palate density that the wine should be able to integrate it with a few years in bottle. A terrific effort that possesses dramatic power."(94pts BH)4 bottles per lot $700-900

"Now that the vines are beginning to mature, the Clos des Perrières is almost always the best wine in the cellar with its wonderfully elegant, pure and refined white flower and white peach nose complementing perfectly the mineral-driven and equally pure medium-bodied flavors that possess good dry extract levels and offering even more power and length, all while maintaining impeccable focus and balance. I especially like the transparency of the linear and vibrant finish."(91pts BH)6 bottles per lot $450-750

7208 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 1999Bonneau du Martray(Wines Located in New York)"As de la Morini re suggests, this is a good deal more powerful than the 2000 version but it is not quite as bright or quite as focused. That said, this is a very impressive effort with big, almost massive aromas of earth, ripe green fruits such as apples and pears leading to equally big, powerful flavors that offer great mouthfeel, all of which is underpinned by plenty of minerality and more than adequate buffering acidity. This is extremely long already but this should continue to improve for 7 to 10 years and hold for much longer than that."(92pts BH)2 bottles per lot $160-220

7209 Montrachet - Vintage 1997Bouchard, Pere et Fils(Wines Located in New York)"...has an unbelievably refined and penetrating nose of candied nuts, flowers, and liquid minerals. This extraordinarily elegant offering has awesome balance, richness, and a profound depth to its tightly wound personality. Vibrant minerals, crisp pears, and stones are intermingled with flavors reminiscent of pineapple Life Savers in this medium-to-full-bodied and velvety beauty. It is spiritual, superbly focused, and magnificently precise."(94-6pts)2 bottles per lot $320-450

The vibrancy and energy here are most impressive and this should be quite a wine but don't even think about opening a bottle for at least a decade as this is very tightly wound at present."(94pts BH)2 bottles per lot $600-800

7214 Chevalier Montrachet - Vintage 2000Domaine Leflaive(Wines Located in New York)"Much more discreet and reserved than the B tard with astonishingly elegant aromas of green spiced apple and citrus with intensely mineral flavors that are crystalline in their purity and detail. This is a complete wine with mind boggling purity and a finish that seems like liquefied rock. Stony, intense and brilliantly long. In short, this is a real stunner and if this adds additional complexity, it's not difficult to imagine a higher score."(95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $500-650

7215 Chevalier Montrachet - Vintage 2004Domaine Leflaive(Wines Located in New York)"...supremely elegant white flower and subtle spice aromas peek through the moderate reduction yet the piercingly mineral flavors display a beguiling sweetness on the crystalline and incredibly precise finish that seems to have no end. This will be a great wine in time as it's clear that there is another dimension here compared to all of the previous wines."(95pts BH)1 bottle per lot $350-500

7216 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 2000Les Combettes, Domaine Leflaive(Wines Located in New York)"...is composed of candied pears and apples.

7218 Puligny Montrachet - Vintage 2005Les Pucelles, Domaine Leflaive(Wines Located in New York)"A very discreet touch of brioche highlights the much more reserved honeysuckle, anise, honeysuckle and apricot aromas that are elegant, pure and wonderfully refined and dissolve into sweet, intense and unusually precise flavors that also reflect more minerality than I typically find in this wine as well, culminating in superb punch and energy. A terrific vintage for Pucelles and one to consider closely."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $200-260

7219 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2001Faiveleylbsl, lstl (Wines Located in New York)"Pale color. Vibrant aromas of apple, baking spices and powdered stone.

7223 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 1995L. Latour2lscl (Wines Located in New York)"Corton Charlemagne is Latour's flagship wine, as the Griotte Chambertin is to Claude Dugat and the Musigny Vieilles Vignes is to the Comte de Vog . True to form, the 1995 is an outstanding effort. An extremely tight but super-ripe nose of sweet fruits is followed by a massive

cascade of deep, sweet, intense, tropical fruits mixed with candied apples and red currants. This full-bodied, excellently structured wine has enormous depth and concentration, as well as a long finish (flavors of cassis, apples and a touch of lemon linger for 30 seconds or more)."(93-5pts)2 bottles per lot $160-220

7231 Batard Montrachet - Vintage 1995Sauzet2lstl, 2lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"Sometimes I think Domaine Sauzet is the reference point for Batard Montrachet. Top vintages of Sauzet's Batard exhibit a trademark deep, dense, almost sultry fruitiness. The 1995 is no exception. A muted (from the recent bottling) but super-deep nose precedes a monster wine with huge, concentrated and extracted roasted fruit, buttressed by fabulous flavors of toasted nuts, and very good length."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $350-480

While less expressive aromatically than the Champs-Canet, it exhibits tantalizing floral scents. On the palate, this offering explodes with concentrated, lively, complex, and gorgeously-defined honeysuckle, candied almonds, roasted hazelnuts, pears, anise, and white flowers."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $180-240

Made from 100% Grenache, it boasts an unusually (for Rayas) dark ruby/purple-tinged color as well as an exceptionally sweet bouquet of black cherry jam, truffles, incense, licorice, and raspberries. Full-bodied with a stunningly rich, concentrated mouthfeel, an explosive mid-palate, and a finish that lasts more than a minute, it is a wine of superb power and intensity admirably displaying the terroir s hallmark delicacy and ethereal nature."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $800-1000

7246 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1991La Turque, E. Guigalltl (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)1 bottle per lot $550-750

7249 Hermitage Blanc - Vintage 2010J.L. Chaveremoved from ocb (Wines Located in New York)"Pure perfection, the 2010 Hermitage reminds Jean-Louis Chave of their 1990. It appears to be a richer, fresher example of what I remember the 1990 tasting like in 1992.

It will be a Champagne to enjoy for many years to come and is arguably the Champagne of the vintage."(96pts JK)1 bottle per lot $350-500

7256 Krug Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1995ltl (Wines Located in New York)"Delicate. Intense aromas of ginger, citrus, candied berry and multigrain bread turn to honey, roasted almonds and graphite on the palate.

7257 Krug Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1996(Wines Located in New York)"Remarkably perfumed nose projects an exotic bouquet of deep, leesy yellow fruit, minerals, honeycomb, smoked meat and flowers, with Asian spices building expanding in the glass. Almost painfully concentrated, offering a surreal parade of orchard and pit fruits, smoked meat, toasted brioche and marrow braced by intensely salty, stunningly incisive minerality. Imagine a Frankenstein's monster of Chablis Le Clos and Clos Ste. Hune-but one with perfect balance, of course-and you get an idea of what I found in my bottle. The energetic, stony character builds exponentially on the finish, which didn't seem to, well, finish. The best analogy I can come up with for the intensity, focus and clarity of this Champagne is liquefied barbed wire. Utterly hallucinatory and one of the most amazing wines I've ever been fortunate enough to drink."(99+pts IWC)2 bottles per lot $500-700

Leesy, deeply pungent aromas of buttered pear and apple, with a strong impression of jasmine. Deeply concentrated and powerful on the palate, the pear flavor almost liqueur-like in intensity, with a solid frame of minerality and a building toffee note. Finishes with a depth charge of talc-y minerality and a lingering impression of sweet butter. Don't even think of opening one of these for at least another five years."(95pts IWC)2 bottles per lot $500-700

Fabulously concentrated, with huge levels of fruit, extract, and glycerin, this wine is nearly viscous because of its thickness and richness.

The wine started to get a little sappier in the glass and come out of its shell, and flavors of green olives emerged.

7525 Riesling - Vintage 2001cuvée Frederic Emile, 375th Anniversary, Trimbach2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York)"The virtues of the 2001 Trimbach Rieslings will by now be well known to readers, but in another year or two they will release a 2001 Riesling cuvée Frederic Emile 375th Anniversary representing a small lot of late-picked Osterberg. Smelling of honey and herbal elixir, it offers a creamy texture, refined peach, honey and mint flavors, and a vivid sense of salt, chalk and wet stone minerality. This might ultimately approach the quality of the 2001 Clos Ste-Hune, and will be one to enjoy over a twenty year period, as despite its elegance it is uncannily concentrated (and, incidentally, despite its richness perfectly dry)."(93pts)12 bottles per lot $800-1200

It's a toss-up as to who is making better Zinfandel - Napa's Turley Cellars, or Martinelli. The 1996 Zinfandel Jackass Vineyard exhibits a dense purple color, followed by a gorgeous fragrance of berry fruit and truffle scents. Its awesome richness, full body, and layers of glycerin flow over the palate with no hard edges. The wine's viscosity and astonishing length are super impressive."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $40-55

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.

This leads to a lustrous, layered, velvet-textured wine with gobs of spicy, ripe black fruits and beautifully integrated oak, tannin, and acidity.

Pauillacbn, lbsl, vlstl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"Finally, the 1983 Lafite is beginning to shed its tannin. The wine exhibits a deep ruby/garnet color with only a slight lightening at the edge. The intoxicatingly perfumed nose of lead pencil, pain grille, red and black fruits, minerals, and roasted herbs is provocative. In the mouth, this wine displays considerable body for a Lafite, plenty of power, and a fleshy, rich, sweet mid-palate. Long, elegant, plump, and surprisingly fleshy, this outstanding example of Lafite seems largely forgotten given the number of high quality vintages during the golden decade of the eighties."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $400-550

Moreover, it has a level of concentration that represents the essence of the Mouton terroir as well as the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon it contains. Cassis, cedar, spice box, minerals, and vanillin are all present, but this opaque black/purple Pauillac has yet to reveal secondary nuances given its youthfulness. It exhibits huge tannin, unreal levels of glycerin and concentration, and spectacular sweetness and opulence. Nevertheless, it demands another decade of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for another seven or eight decades. I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years! The fact that it resists oxidation is a testament to just how youthful it remains, and how long it will last."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $900-1200

Medium golden, with a big, opulent, honeyed, oaky, flowery, tropical fruit bouquet, this wine is rich and concentrated, has very good acidity, a lot of botrytis, and a stunning finish.

Sweet, smoky, roasted aromas in the nose combine with jammy levels of black currant, cherry, and prune-like fruit. It possesses extraordinary concentration and unctuosity, with a thick, fat texture oozing notes of cedar wood, tobacco, coffee, and over-ripe fruit.

It had balanced alcohol and excellent harmony on the nose, really unfolding in the glass with a little airtime. There was cinnamon and a touch of chlorine, as with the 78, but it didn't become a problem this time. It was very spicy and tannic in the mouth.

The wine is barrel-fermented in Francois Freres barrels and aged in tank prior to being bottled unfiltered. It is a wine of extravagant richness, and in some vintages it seems almost too thick, unctuous, and concentrated to be believed. It is the single greatest white Hermitage being made, but with just over 400 cases, not many people get the opportunity to experience it."(94pts)1 Jeroboam per lot $240-320

It has always been an outstanding wine for the vintage - complex, rich, savory, and the quintessentially elegant Bordeaux.

The Margaux had a pungent nose, and its t n a jumped out at first. It also had cinnamon, iron, rock and gorgeous perfume. It was beyond licorice according to Dan, and Australian John admired its cherry liqueur. The palate was rocky without the horror but with the picture show, not its usual feminine self, Ray observed. Though spiny and long, the Margaux was still stylish with a touch of that Margaux elegance. This was a great bottle of this wine, and it ended up being wine of the flight, outshowing all the other First Growths."(97pts JK)1 bottle per lot $750-1000

8309 Château Margaux - Vintage 1983Margauxts, wrl, vlstl (Wines Located in New York)"Wine of the vintage. Massive, with exuberant aromas of cassis, lead pencil and fruit which follow through on the palate. Full-bodied and incredibly velvety. Long, long finish."(98pts WS)1 bottle per lot $400-600

8310 Château Montrose - Vintage 1982St. Estephebn, lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1982 had a very spiny nose in a pungent and alcoholic way. Aromas of anise and indoor cleaner dominated with some plum, fig and raisin underneath. There was a lot of cedar in the nose as well. The palate was long, sturdy and spiny, possessing lots of vigor, although it was definitely lopsided towards its dusty back end. The wine started to get a little sappier in the glass and come out of its shell, and flavors of green olives emerged. James Suckling found the 1982 'ever changing' and admired its strength and clarity,' adding he could drink it 'all night long."(93+pts JK)1 bottle per lot $160-220

8311 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 1983Pauillac1ts, 1vhs, 2lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Big-time cedar and cassis in its outstanding nose...Asian spice, caramel, and a perfect balance of oak as well...a ripe palate - not a lot of tannin but still a lot of alcohol."(93+pts JK)2 bottles per lot $600-800

8312 Château Palmer - Vintage 1982Margauxbn, vlwrl, lscl (Wines Located in New York)"Full, deep red. Spicy aromas of cassis and rose petal, with a whiff of meat.

8315 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 2010Dujac(Wines Located in New York)"An intensely floral nose features notes of rose petals and lavender along with cool red berry fruit liberally laced with wet stone nuances. The taut and muscular broad-scaled and concentrated flavors are precise, intense and explosively long on the focused and stunningly persistent finish that is youthfully austere and breathtakingly intense. This faultlessly well-balanced but very firm effort will require extended cellaring and 15 to 20 years is probably what the structure will require to completely resolve."(96pts BH)

8328 Château Haut Brion - Vintage 1989Gravesvlstl, nl, wc (Wines Located in New York)"The prodigious 1989 Haut-Brion is one of the greatest first-growths I have ever tasted. It has always reminded me of what the 1959 must have tasted like in its youth, but it is even richer and more compelling aromatically. The wine exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, as well as a sweet nose of jammy fruit, tobacco, spicy oak, minerals, and smoke. Fabulously concentrated, with huge levels of fruit, extract, and glycerin, this wine is nearly viscous because of its thickness and richness. Low acidity gives the wine even more appeal and adds to its precociousness. The wine has not budged in development since it was first bottled, although it has always provided thrilling drinking because of its voluptuous texture."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $1100-1500

8329 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1983Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Finally, the 1983 Lafite is beginning to shed its tannin. The wine exhibits a deep ruby/garnet color with only a slight lightening at the edge. The intoxicatingly perfumed nose of lead pencil, pain grille, red and black fruits, minerals, and roasted herbs is provocative. In the mouth, this wine displays considerable body for a Lafite, plenty of power, and a fleshy, rich, sweet mid-palate. Long, elegant, plump, and surprisingly fleshy, this outstanding example of Lafite seems largely forgotten given the number of high quality vintages during the golden decade of the eighties."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $400-550

8332 Château Calon Segur - Vintage 1982St. Estephe3bn, 1vhs, 2stl, 1lstl, 4scc (Wines Located in New York)" It is made in a traditional style, so do not expect to get turned-on by lavish quantities of vanillin-scented, toasty new oak, and sweet jammy fruit. Although massive, with incredible richness and plenty of fruit, this wine is dominated by its blackcurrant, mineral, cedar character. The copious tannins are still present, but they are integrated with the wine's other components. This classic Calon-Segur is built to stand the test of time. From a half-bottle it should reach full maturity by the turn of the century and last for at least 20-30 years. This is a remarkable wine that should find many admirers among true connoisseurs."(93pts)4 bottles per lot $550-750

8335 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1982St. Julienbn (Wines Located in New York)"...the 1982 Ducru-Beaucaillou is unquestionably the best wine made at this estate since 1961. The concentrated, viscous, dark ruby/purple color is followed by explosive aromas of spring flowers, blackcurrants, minerals, and toast.

8426 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 2001St. Estephe3lscl (Wines Located in New York)"...a poised, noble bouquet of black currants, cedar, spice box, and licorice.

Medium-bodied with sweet fruit (mostly black) and nicely integrated wood, it builds incrementally in the mouth, ending with a 50-second finish."(93pts)3 bottles per lot $260-350

(Wines Located in New York)"This shows a rich and dense nose of blackberry, coffee and smoke. Full-bodied, with soft and round tannins and a long, smoky finish. Very fresh and velvety. GL is really doing excellent things these days, even in less-than-easy vintages. Best after 2008. 2,455 cases made."(92pts WS)6 half-bottles per lot $150-200

8428 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 2001St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19.5% Merlot, and he rest Cabernet Franc, the 2001 (which represents only 40% of the production) reveals notes of sweet vanillin intermixed with pure cassis, black cherries, and lead pencil shavings. Elegant and medium-bodied, it possesses a saturated purple color, high tannin, and a structured, backward feel in the mouth. This quintessentially elegant Las Cases will be one of the Medoc s longest lived wines of the vintage."(93pts)3 half-bottles per lot $180-240

8429 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 2000St. Julien2lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"Wow, this wine has really come on strong. A brilliant effort, it boasts an opaque purple color in addition to a gorgeously sweet nose (make that explosive nose) of blackberries and creme de cassis intermixed with minerals, smoke, and earth. The 2000 is opulent, full-bodied, and much more accessible than either of its two Leoville siblings, Leoville Las Cases or Leoville Barton, with low acidity, sweet tannin, and a layered, sumptuous finish. It continues to improve dramatically and looks to be a great success, rivaling the brilliant 1996 and 1990."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $220-300

8430 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 2000Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"This is a superstructured wine with loads of plum, blackberry and licorice. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Gorgeous. Tight. Needs time."(96pts WS)4 bottles per lot $700-1000

8431 Château Montrose - Vintage 2003St. Estephe3lscl (Wines Located in New York)"The enormous 2003 Montrose is built along the lines of the 1989 rather than the 1990. It boasts a dense black/purple color in addition to an extraordinary bouquet of scorched earth, blackberries, and cassis, fabulous purity, a skyscraper-like texture, and substantial tannin in the finish. This superb, huge, ripe wine is one of the vintage s most prodigious offerings."(97pts)3 bottles per lot $600-800

"...is the greatest Vieux Telegraphe that was produced. It has taken a good decade for this wine to shed its tannins and come out of a dormant, closed period. It has finally emerged, and notes of iodine, seaweed, black currants, incense, and sweet cherries as well as hot rocks jump from the glass of this full-bodied, powerful wine. It possesses considerable elegance and purity, along with loads of raspberries and incense, in a round, juicy, rich style that is just emerging from the closet."(95pts)4 bottles per lot $300-400

8440 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1998Reserve des Celestins, H. Bonneau(Wines Located in New York)"...possesses a character not unlike a top Amarone from Italy. Dense plum/ruby to the rim, with a huge nose of roasted herbs, beef blood, chocolate, pepper, sweet cherries, and black currants, the wine is full-bodied and dense, with huge extract and richness, high glycerin, and plenty of tannin. The wine has a late-harvest, almost roasted character to it, hence the comparison with Amarone does not seem far-fetched. The fact that it is well north of 16% alcohol also suggests it has a lot in common with an Italian Amarone."(98pts)3 bottles per lot $500-750

8441 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2000cuvée de Mon Aieul, P. Usseglio(Wines Located in New York)"The profound 2000 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée de Mon Aieul (85% Grenache and the rest equal parts Syrah, Mourv dre, and Cinsault) tips the scales at 15% alcohol. From an old vineyard and cropped at 15 hectoliters per hectare, and aged only in foudre, it boasts a dense purple color in addition to an exquisite nose of violets, minerals, blueberries and blackberries. Pure and concentrated, but atypically tannic..."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $420-500

8442 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2000cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegau(Wines Located in New York)"Sweet, fat, opulent, and voluptuous, with fabulous fruit concentration, sweet tannin, and a long, 45+ second finish, this powerful, deep, seamless 2000 is impeccably well-balanced."(95pts)9 bottles per lot $550-750

8443 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2000Reserve, Domaine de la Vieille Julienne(Wines Located in New York)"...is a wine of magnificent intensity as well as majestic texture and richness. Layers of concentrated fruit cascade over the palate. Opaque purple-colored and extremely full-bodied, with a gorgeous nose of minerals, white flowers, black fruits, pepper, and garrigue, this sumptuous, seamless 2000 Châteauneuf must be tasted to be believed."(99pts)5 bottles per lot $750-1000

8444 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2001

Reserve Sixtine, cuvée du Vatican(Wines Located in New York)"The special cuvée, the stunning 2001 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve Sixtine, is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 20% Mourvedre aged in equal parts small barrels and neutral wood foudres. An elegant effort with freshness yet tremendous power and flavor intensity, it is a full-bodied, layered, provocative 2001 with exceptional depth as well as richness. While the tannin levels are high, there are even higher levels of concentration and fruit."(95pts)6 bottles per lot $300-420

8445 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1999La Landonne, E. Guigalnl (Wines Located in New York)"I have given perfect scores to other vintages of La Landonne, but the black/purple-colored 1999 Côte-R tie La Landonne may be the finest effort Guigal has ever coaxed out of this vineyard. It appears less animalistic than usual, offering gorgeously pure notes of incense, melted road tar, fried bacon, blackberries, blueberries, smoked meats, and vanilla. Literally out of this world in terms of flavor concentration and balance, the finish lasts well over 60 seconds. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. What is so remarkable about this cuvée is its tremendous layers of flavor, awesome texture, and perfect balance. This is an astonishing offering from one of the world s greatest winemakers."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $500-700

8446 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1999La Mouline, E. Guigallscl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"An extraordinary effort, it offers a smorgasbord of aromas and flavors. Scents of violets, raspberries, blackberries, roasted espresso, balsamic vinegar, and pepper tumble out of the glass. It is unctuously-textured, full-bodied, and fabulously concentrated with a tremendous purity and seamlessness that must be tasted to be believed. What is so remarkable about this cuvée is its tremendous layers of flavor, awesome texture, and perfect balance. This is an astonishing offering from one of the world s greatest winemakers."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $550-750

8449 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 1997Insignia(Wines Located in New York)"The color is a saturated thick-looking blue/purple. The nose offers up explosive aromas of jammy black fruits, licorice, Asian spices, vanillin, and cedar. Full-bodied as well as exceptionally pure and impressively endowed, this blockbuster yet surprisingly elegant wine cuts a brilliant swath across the palate."(96pts)4 bottles per lot $850-1200

8450 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1998(Wines Located in New York)"...displays a vividly ripe, candied raspberry, and sweet cherry-scented nose. This voluptuously-textured, medium to full-bodied wine offers decadent layers of seemingly unending waves of red and black fruit flavors. It is sexy, plump, dense, and powerful, yet maintains Quilceda Creek's trademark harmony and elegance."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $220-300

8451 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999(Wines Located in New York)"The sumptuous 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark ruby-colored wine with mouth-watering aromas of highly expressive blackberries awash in toasted oak and roasting spices. Medium to full-bodied, thick, concentrated, and exquisitely balanced, this mouth-coating tour de force is densely packed with jammy black fruits and cassis liqueur. It combines elegance with power in a manner reminiscent of Châteaux Margaux's prodigious 1990."(98pts)6 bottles per lot $600-800

8452 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2000(Wines Located in New York)"The dark ruby-colored 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon has a nose reminiscent of a blackberry-flavored Yoplait yogurt laced with roasted oak and hints of licorice. A full-bodied wine of power and structure, it is crammed with black currants, blackberries, and spices. Its dense fruit is matched blow for blow with a muscular, firm structure."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $500-650

8453 Penfold's Grange - Vintage 1998(Wines Located in New York)"The inky/purple color is followed by an extraordinarily intense nose of Crème de cassis intermixed with blueberry and floral notes. As the wine sits in the glass, aromas of meat, plums, and cola also emerge. It is a seamless effort with sweet tannin, well-integrated acidity, sensational extract, and layer upon layer of blackberry and cassis fruit that stain the palate and fill the mouth. Its harmony, freshness, and remarkable length (the finish lasts nearly a minute) suggest an all-time classic."(99pts)2 bottles per lot $750-1000
