22968 Riesling Eiswein - Vintage 2016Kiedrich Grafenberg, R. Weil5ssos (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"Harvested on January 7, this displays an Eiswein-typical aromatic aura of sugar-glazed, candied fruits mingled with high-toned fruit distillates. On the custardy-rich yet buoyant palate, though, the impression is of a pineapple-studded, quince jelly-slathered lemon meringue, generating a productive tension of bright citricity with confitured and candied fruits. The finish is formidably penetrating and persistent, clean, clear and vibrant, with lemon, pineapple and candied white currant to the fore. It's amazing that there is such purity and focused brightness on display from fruit that hung out, exposed to the elements, for so long. This will certainly be exciting to follow, and may well prove exceedingly long-lived; though the inherently capricious behavior of Eiswein should always serve as something of a warning (which is also what I intend with my intentionally conservative quantitative "drink by" estimate)."(94pts VM)6 half-bottles per lot $600-800

23065 Riesling Auslese - Vintage 2018Scharzhofberger, E. Muller(Wines Located in Hong Kong)"There is more botrytis character to the Scharzhofberger Auslese this year than in the Braune Kupp, and this is particularly evident on the more tropical touch found on the backend here. The nose is really refined and classy, wafting from the glass in a youthful blend of pear, lime zest, white cherries, a touch of mint, lilacs, honeycomb, gentle minerality and a wide array of citrus blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full, pure and complex, with a great core, impressive backend mineral drive and a long, zesty and beautifully balanced finish. This is going to take longer to fully blossom than the Braune Kupp Auslese, but it is going to be outstanding in the fullness of time."(95 pts JG)3 bottles per lot $1200-1600

Plums, black cherries, spices, licorice and tar are woven together beautifully on the creamy, expansive finish. This is a lovely wine to drink now and over the next few years.

The 2010 was done 60% in oak and 40% in steel, an approach that works well here. Anticipated

25427 Château Clinet - Vintage 2013Pomerol1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"A terrific success and star in this vintage, this blend of 90% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc came from a mere 25 acres of vineyard and averaged 33 hectoliters per hectare, with close to 13% natural alcohol. The entire harvest took place September 30-October 12. The wine is impressive in this vintage, its beautiful, dense, blue/black color is followed by a striking nose of creme de cassis, blackberry fruit, charcoal and a hint of camphor. The wine is rich and medium to full-bodied, displaying surprising texture, depth and breadth. This is a rich wine with good acidity and ripe tannin. It is a relatively big boy for the vintage and should drink well in 2-3 years and last up to 15 or more. It is so good, it is clearly a sleeper of the vintage, even though Clinet has been doing fabulous work for a number of years."(91-93pts)12 bottles per lot $700-900

25430 Château La Mondotte - Vintage 2012St. Emilion1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)

"Sumptuous notes of mulberries, spring flowers, kirsch, black currant liqueur, graphite and spice appear more projected and evolved than in most barrel samples of La Mondotte. Extravagantly rich, full-bodied and multidimensional with soft tannin and low acidity, this is a precocious, gorgeously proportioned effort that should be drinkable in 4-5 years. It will last for two decades."(94-97pts)12 bottles per lot $1800-2400

25431 Château Larcis Ducasse - Vintage 2015St. Emilion1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"The 2015 Larcis-Ducasse is a blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet France, picked between 28 September and 10 October, 7-13 October respectively. Cropped at 37 hl/ha it is being matured in 500-liter barrels. It has an intense nose of raspberry preserve, boysenberries and an almost honeyed-like richness that thankfully retains freshness and delineation, when it could have been over-powering. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, a little grainy in texture, very well-balanced and graceful, gently building to a convincing, quite minerally, blackberry and wild strawberry finish. There is superb terroir expression here, an excellent Larcis-Ducasse that should offer 3-4 decades of drinking pleasure."(94-96pts)12 bottles per lot $900-1200

25434 Château Pape Clement - Vintage 2016Graves1x6 magnum owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"The 2016 Pape Clement is a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon this year, picked from 30 September until 19 October at 48 hectoliters per hectare. The first bottle that I tasted with Bernard Magrez and his team felt a little overdone, but I had a strong suspicion that it was not a representative bottle. A second bottle was more restrained on the nose with blackberries, red plum, a touch of cloves and a light iodine influence. I love the delineation and detail here. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-infused entry, plenty of black fruit, saline in the mouth with great depth and cohesion on the long and tender finish. It continues Pape-Clement/Bernard Magrez' move towards a more classic style compared to the previous decade. Tasted four times, once as I mentioned, unnecessarily richer in style, but the other three consistent."(95-97pts)6 magnums per lot $1000-1400

It is full-bodied and multi-dimensional, with a big, juicy texture and loads of plum, blackcurrant, spicy oak and minerality. Full and rich, with the tannins just beginning to show some resolution and better integration, this is a big-time sleeper of the vintage that should drink well for another 15-20 years."(94pts)6 magnums per lot $550-750

The nose is really refined and classy, wafting from the glass in a youthful blend of pear, lime zest, white cherries, a touch of mint, lilacs, honeycomb, gentle minerality and a wide array of citrus blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full, pure and complex, with a great core, impressive backend mineral drive and a long, zesty and beautifully balanced finish. This is going to take longer to fully blossom than the Braune Kupp Auslese, but it is going to be outstanding in the fullness of time."(95 pts JG)1 bottle per lot $450-600

At first relatively supple, the 2009 closes down quickly with air, which suggests it needs at least a few more years in bottle. I also see less of the gravitas than is typical of To Kalon Cabernets. Sweet floral notes and a burst of small red berries inform the finish. "(91pts)6 bottles per lot $550-750

Jumping Goat(Wines Located in New York)"The 2011 Metisse Jumping Goat Vineyard is one of the biggest, most concentrated 2011s I have tasted so far. Hints of scorched earth, tobacco and spices add complexity to a huge core of dark fruit. In 2011 the blend is 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot, which is to say the Cabernet is down and the Merlot is up relative to the 2010. The additional Merlot in the blend seems to add gorgeous mid-palate pliancy. "(91-93pts VM)6 bottles per lot $420-550

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

31354 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2013One Point Five(Wines Located in New York)"The Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five takes its name from the fact that John and Doug Shafer, as father and son, have worked together for a generation and a half hence the name. This wine comes from their Stags Leap property and is a beauty. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five is a stunner made from 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest other varietals. It is aged in 100% new oak, but you would never tell that given its richness of blackcurrant fruit, classic flowers and unsmoked cigar tobacco. The wine needs 3-4 years, as most 2013s do, and should be a 30-year wine. It is a beautiful baby, but bottle age will definitely unleash more subtleties and richness. This is a full-bodied classic that is superb."(94+pts)6 bottles per lot $450-600

density, plenty of plum, blackberry, pepper and steak tartare notes. There is even a floral element, which may be attributable to the 1.5% Viognier that is co-fermented with the Syrah.

One would never believe that based on the intensity of flavor. Most of the fruit comes from a vineyard I adore for its Sauvignon, but I wasn't aware it included some Roussanne, the Dry Stack Vineyard in Bennett Valley southeast of Santa Rosa. The 2009 Venus exhibits crisp, fresh, delicate but impressively intense notes of lychee nuts, caramelized citrus, spring flowers, fresh pears and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied with lively acidity as well as an exotic perfume and a dry, zesty style, I would recommend drinking it on the early side because of its exceptional aromatics. It should last 2-3 years."(91-93pts)12 bottles per lot $200-280

As the Syrah was aged in wood, there's a hint of campfire smoke here, plus layers of rich, voluptuous plummy fruit.

The 2005 Château Doisy-Védrines has a rich and decadent bouquet, very honeyed and forward, perhaps missing the precision of the Doisy-Daëne. The palate is rich and powerful with notes of honey, tangerine and marmalade. The finish feel unctuous in the layered in the mouth a typical Doisy-Védrines of this era, though I think Olivier Castèja produces a more sophisticated Barsac these days. However, a second bottle opened was fresher and more vital, though I will remain conservative with my score."(91pts)12 half-bottles per lot $180-240

It's a deftly judged blend of 36% Roussanne, 29% Chardonnay, 23% Viognier, 9% Petite Manseng and 3% Muscat, and the exotic aromatic contributions of the Viognier and Muscat don't drown out the subtle expressions of the other varieties. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, fat and lavish, with considerable satiny texture, juicy acids and a sapid, even savory finish that I suspect reflects the Petite Manseng component. It's a rich and dramatic white that should drink well on release and could well be very interesting with time in the bottle. The Deux Grenouilles was produced entirely from estate fruit with the exception of Chardonnay from Bien Nacido Vineyard, and it was vinified in 26% concrete eggs, 26% used barrels and 48% new oak."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

(Wines Located in New York)"A total stunner, the 2017 Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru is the most expressive wine in the lineup today. Rich, creamy and so wonderfully textured, the RSV simply has it all. The tannins are present, but they are also matched by tremendous fruit density and pure power. Floral and savory overtones grace the lifted, saline finish. Leaving price aside, if I could only have one wine in this range, it would unquestionably be the RSV. The 2017 is a total knock-out.

32768 Château Clinet - Vintage 2014Pomerol1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"The 2014 Clinet was a wine that perplexed when I tasted it from barrel and as a consequence, it was one that I went back and retasted three or four times during that primeur campaign. Now in bottle, the bouquet has improved and developed more fruit concentration, armed with red plum, wild strawberry and blueberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied and quite refined, certainly not as opulent as other vintages from the estate, perhaps just missing a persistence on the angular finish. It is not a bad Clinet by a long stretch, it just feels a little constricted, especially compared to say the

32769 Château Clinet - Vintage 2016Pomerol1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"The 2016 Clinet is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that was picked from 22 September for the young vines, the older vines picked 1 and 2 October, finishing with the Cabernet Sauvignon the following day. It was cropped at 49 hectoliters per hectare and matured in 70% new oak and the remainder in second-fill barrels. It has 14.15% alcohol and a record-breaking 94 IPT. It has a very linear bouquet, quite strict and intense with a light iodine and marine scent merging with the black fruit. This is a more "aristocratic" nose for Clinet, sophisticated and one of the most nuanced I have encountered. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin that forms the foundation of a more masculine Clinet, complex and focused with a subtle spiciness coming through on the finish, which fans out with confidence and leaves a disarming, saline tang in the mouth. Yes, this is a magnificent Clinet, cool and mineral-soaked, both cerebral and lip-smackingly delicious."(96-98pts)12 bottles per lot $1200-1600

32770 Château Larcis Ducasse - Vintage 2012St. Emilion1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"This great terroir, long owned by the Gratiot family, has come to life under the inspired winemaking of Nicolas Thienpont and Stéphane Derenoncourt. Some recent vintages have been legendary efforts, especially 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The 2012 (83% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc) is right in the competition, with an inky, opaque, bluish/purple color, gorgeously sweet, rich nose of black raspberries, black cherries and currants, and licorice. The wine hits the palate with a full-bodied, thunderous effect. This blend tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol, which is indicative of its fabulously exposed vineyard on a full, steep limestone slope with a primarily southern exposure. This is full-bodied, ripe and one of the great stars of the vintage – again. The wine has full-bodied texture, gorgeous purity, richness and length. "(95pts)12 bottles per lot $600-800

32771 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 2016Pauillac1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Pontet-Canet hits the ground running with a hedonic nose of Black Forest cake, Crème de cassis and blueberry pie plus suggestions of candied violets, hoisin, chocolate mint, charcuteries and forest floor with a waft of star anise. Full-bodied, rich, profoundly layered and powerfully fruited, the palate is built like a brick house, with very firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and harmonious

freshness, finishing with incredible length and depth. Still incredibly primary and yet already strutting so many layers, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this warrants the three-digit score in a few years' time."(98+pts)12 bottles per lot $1500-2000

32772 Batard Montrachet - Vintage 2017B. Colin1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"A well-layered nose grudgingly reveals its aromas of both white and yellow orchard fruit, ample citrus and soft spice nuances that are framed but subtle but not invisible wood influence. Like the Blanchot there is excellent size, weight and muscle to the overtly powerful flavors that possess impressive depth and persistence on the sappy, balanced and harmonious finish. This is really very good and should age accordingly."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $2000-2800

32773 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2015cuvée da Capo, Domaine du Pegau1x3 magnum owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)"As I reported last year, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée da Capo is impressive. While it's less flamboyantly aromatic than the Cuvée Réservée, it's more powerful and concentrated. Full-bodied and rich, it's loaded with potent raspberry fruit and silky tannins and boasts a finish that won't stop. Hints of roasted meat, lavender and thyme add complexity to the waves of fruit, which wash gently across the palate, exhibiting a lovely soft touch."(98pts)3 magnums per lot $1800-2400

32774 Château Latour - Vintage 2003Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"A prodigious effort, it boasts a saturated purple color as well as a gorgeous perfume of smoke, cedar, creme de cassis, flowers, crushed rocks, and blackberries. Massive and multi-layered, with huge richness and low acidity, it is about as unctuous as a young Latour can be. It could be compared to the 1982, but it may be even more pure, at least at this early stage, than that monumental wine. The level of intensity builds prodigiously in the mouth, and the finish lasts nearly a minute."(100pts)3 half-bottles per lot $950-1300

The palate is better thanks to the fine, slightly chalky tannins and the almost racy acidity that lends so much freshness and nervosité on the finish. Once the aromatics meld together, as I am sure they will do by the time of

Meant for consumers with old fashioned tastes, it boasts a dense opaque purple color as well as a bouquet of licorice, forest floor, unsmoked cigar tobacco and a hint of earth. The wine reveals tremendous denseness and richness, a broad, savory mouthfeel and elevated tannins in the finish. However, there is a sweetness to the tannins and no trace of bitterness and astringency, always a sign of a top vintage as well as fully mature grapes. Still a monolithic baby, this 2009 should be forgotten for at least a decade, and consumed over the next 30-50 years. "(93+pts)6 magnums per lot $1000-1400

Despite the fact that the acid is not particularly accentuated here either, the vineyards aromatic citrus fresh touch, manage to leave a fresh uplifting side to the creamy fat smoothness."(94pts RJ)6 bottles per lot $650-850

32787 Château Ausone - Vintage 2000St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)"A saturated black/purple color is followed by sensational aromas of ink, cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and that wet stones/liquid minerality characteristic. The wine has phenomenal presence on the palate as well as astonishing richness and purity. Despite its extract, power, and richness, it is remarkably light, with a surreal delicacy. It is a tour de force in winemaking and a compelling expression of this magical terroir."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $750-1000

At bottling, there were 241 grams of sugar per liter and the finished alcohol was 12.5%. This looks to be the stuff of legends. Unfortunately, only 597 half bottles were produced.

On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and complex, with good mid-palate depth, lovely vibrancy (particularly for a 2005 white Burgundy), and fine length and grip on the zesty finish. There is just the faintest hint of the exuberant ripeness of the 2005 whites here on the backend, but for drinking over the next dozen years or so it should not be an issue. Good juice."(91pts JG)6 bottles per lot $700-900

It has a wonderful nose that expresses the Semillon component majestically: heady aromas of lemon curd, nectarine, jasmine and honeysuckle that all gain momentum in the glass. The oak is supremely well-integrated. The palate is extremely well-balanced with an unctuous entry. You are immediately knocked sideways by the palpable weight and volume in the mouth, which is almost "bulbous," with layer upon layer of heavily botrytized fruit. It builds to a spicy finish with hints of marzipan and pralines in the background that lend it an untrammeled sense of exoticism.

Low acidity gives the wine plenty of upfront appeal in that fleshy, flamboyant style of so many 1982s. The color remains a dense garnet/purple, and there is little evolution in the wine's bouquet."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $160-220

32879 Château Gruaud Larose - Vintage 1986St. Julien2vhs, 2lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Still tasting as if it were only 7-8 years of age, the dense, garnet/purple-colored 1986 Gruaud-Larose is evolving at a glacier pace. The wine still has mammoth structure, tremendous reserves of fruit and concentration, and a finish that lasts close to a minute. The wine is massive, very impressively constituted, with still some mouth-searing tannin to shed. Decanting of one to two hours in advance seems to soften it a bit, but this is a wine that seems to be almost immortal in terms of its longevity. It is a great Medoc classic, and certainly one of the most magnificent Gruaud-Larose ever made. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035. Last tasted, 10/02."(96pts)2 bottles per lot $260-350

Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance.

The bouquet opens to chewy tones of cherry or raspberry preserves with dried prunes and figs at the back. This is no surprise considering the softly sloping, sea-facing vineyards located in the lower part of the appellation where temperatures are slightly warmer on average. There is no doubt that this is an impeccably crafted wine (it sees 50-50 aging in French barrique and larger oak casks) that aspires to a great level of intensity, power and fullness. The mouthfeel is round and immediate with sweet fruit flavors. This Brunello will appeal to those who like a softer side of Sangiovese."(92pts)12 bottles per lot $500-700

32939 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2010Castiglion del Bosco(Wines Located in New York)

"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a ripe and fruit-forward expression that bursts with energy and red fruit intensity even at this young stage in the wine's life. Thick layers of cherry, blackberry, cassis, vanilla and cinnamon give the wine a bold, opulent personality. The tannins are super tame and docile, even for this more structured vintage. The wine boasts a medium build with bright garnet and ruby highlights. I think Castiglion del Bosco does a great job of executing and delivering this softer style of Brunello that works so well as a companion to the hearty, wintery foods we love most. You can drink it in the near or long term. It has that level of aging flexibility. The 2010 vintage is a great one to taste and buy."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $160-220

This Sassicaia has blossomed since my previous encounters with it as a young, awkward adolescent. The long-awaited 2015 Bolgheri Sassicaia represents a tremendous effort that comes together with seamless precision and focus. This is a confident and proud red wine from Tuscany. Starting with the primary material at hand, you sense the quality of fruit thanks to the wine's beautifully dark appearance and the rich texture it offers to the palate. The acidity is integrated, but more freshness still would have been welcomed in my view (and would also contribute to its longevity). The bouquet is amplified both in terms of volume and length. Its playlist includes dark berry fruit, spice, leather, licorice and roasted coffee bean. Yet, the mouthfeel is extremely graceful and silky. The wine's undisputed pedigree is showcased on the palate. It should also be noted that this edition of Sassicaia feels more ready and open to me. It will age and evolve beautifully, but the 2015 Sassicaia can also be enjoyed in the medium-term. This wine is all about the here and now."(97pts)6 bottles per lot $1100-1500

villages of Fuenmayor and Cenicero, and the Garnacha from old head-pruned vines at 600 meters altitude in Tudelilla, in Rioja Baja, from plots next to their Finca La Pedriza. Those should soon be mature enough to go into the wine (they were planted in 2004 and they will make it into the Ardanza blend from 2007-2008). The grapes are fermented separately with natural yeasts and the Tempranillo then matured in American oak barrels averaging four years old for 36 months, while the Garnacha matured in second- and third-use American oak barrels for 30 months. The nose is very fresh, with notes of beef blood, iron, cherries in liqueur, some subtle leather and spices plus notes of autumn forest and truffles. The palate is more lively and has some tannins that would feel better integrated with some food or a little bit of time in bottle It was bottled in November 2011.

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.

Black fruit, smoke, tar and incense are some of the many notes that flow from a structured, tense frame. The 2008 will test the readers' patience, but it has the stuffing and pedigree to develop into a splendid wine. This is a fabulous showing, especially within the context of the vintage. Today, the 2008 looks to be a great wine in the making. I Sodi di San Niccolo is 85% Sangioveto and 15% Malvasia Nera aged in French oak barrels, 50% new.

Aging in French oak (all untoasted) gives the wine its signature feel and texture. I have seen the Rüncot develop beautifully with time in bottle. I imagine that will be the case here was well.

It is an especially forward, opulent Terra di Lavoro bursting with exuberance. There is something viscerally thrilling about the 2007, perhaps because Terra di Lavoro is typically so reticent when it is young. Not here. This is an open, wonderfully expressive vintage. The only thing left to wonder is if the wine will ever shut down in bottle. For now, readers who want to understand what makes Terra di Lavoro such a pedigreed wine may want to start here. Readers who prefer a firmer style will likely gravitate towards the 2006 or 2008, but this is a flat-out great bottle of wine with an explosive personality that carries through to the long, intensely satisfying finish. In 2007 the weather was consistently hot, but the 2007 doesn't show the jamminess of the 2003 nor the sheer power of the 2001.

Dark cherries, grilled herbs and menthol take shape in the glass followed by sweet floral notes that add lift on the finish. A rich, round and voluptuous wine, the 2009 impresses for its overall sense of harmony. It isn't terribly varietal, but is quite pretty if taken on its own terms. The 2009 is 82% Syrah and 18% Petite Sirah. Personally, I prefer the subsequent vintages, where Syrah plays more of a leading role. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024."(93+pts)6 bottles per lot $260-350

"All five of Turley's 2008 Petite Syrahs (they do not spell it "Sirah") are extraordinary, and I could probably write the same tasting notes for each. My favorites include the Hayne Vineyard and Library Vineyard, followed by the Pesenti Vineyard, which shows more chalky graphite characteristics. They all possess huge aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and ink, massive fruit concentration, enormous body, and a lot less alcohol than the Zinfandels (a character of this varietal). Readers who purchase any of these cuvées should forget them for 10 years, and drink them over the following 25-30 years.

33067 Turley Petite Syrah - Vintage 2012Pesenti Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Flirting with perfection, 2012 Petite Syrah Pesenti Vineyard and the 2012 Petite Syrah Hayne Vineyard both have off-the-charts richness as well as opaque black/blue colors, enormously concentrated red, blue and black fruits intermixed with camphor and creosote notes. The Petite Syrah Pesenti Vineyard also reveals a chalky minerality that no doubt is from the limestone soils of that region. The Pesenti can be drunk for its impressive scale, richness, texture and power in its youth, but it will not exhibit much secondary development for at least a decade. This will still be offering provocative and prodigious drinking 30 to 40 years from now."(96-100pts)5 bottles per lot $160-220

33068 Turley Petite Syrah - Vintage 2013Pesenti Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"The 2013 Petite Syrah Pesenti Vineyard is almost black/purple in color. This is another organic vineyard owned by Larry Turley, and the Petite Syrah was planted from cuttings from Napa's Hayne Vineyard. The limestone soils here have produced what potentially could turn out to be one of the greatest Petite Syrahs ever made, rivaling some of the Ridge Petite Syrahs from the 1970s and 1980s. An absolutely amazing wine, but almost ferocious to taste at this point, the wine has concentration beyond belief. Inky black/purple, with stunning blueberry and floral notes mixed with blackberry and crushed rock give the wine laser-like precision and an unmistakable minerality. Massive and full-bodied, this wine needs a good 10-20 years and should be drinking well 50 or more years from now. If you want to buy a birth year wine for your children or grandchildren, this is the one to buy you'll never regret it."(98+pts)1 bottle per lot $30-40

33069 Turley Petite Syrah - Vintage 2011Rattlesnake Ridge(Wines Located in New York)"The estate's 2011 Petite Syrah Rattlesnake Ridge is arguably the most powerful and structured of these 2011s. Intensely varietal and tannic, the 2011 is imbued with the essence of blackberry jam, grilled savory herbs, menthol and melted road tar. The aromas and flavors grow beautifully in the glass, filling out the wine's broad shouldered frame with aplomb. The Rattlesnake Ridge is not a wine for the faint of heart, but readers who love intense structured reds and Petite Syrah in particular will flip out over this wine. Simply put, this is a stunning showing, Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026."(95-97pts)6 bottles per lot $200-280

At once dense and rich, the 2011 nevertheless remains essentially a mid-weight yet powerful wine endowed with lovely definition. Blueberries, blackberries, licorice, smoke and tar all jump from the glass. Overall, this is a relatively soft style for Howell Mountain in this vintage.

33075 Turley Zinfandel - Vintage 2013Cobb Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"A lighter Zinfandel (although by no means should the word "wimpy" be implied), the 2013 Zinfandel Cobb Vineyard from Amador tips the scales at 15.3% alcohol. This higher elevation vineyard (1500 feet) planted in volcanic and granite soils has produced a more finesse-styled and aromatic Zinfandel. It possesses a touch of austerity, but beautiful, almost Pinot Noir-inspired black cherry and berry fruit. Some minerality again makes an appearance in the wine. Medium to full-bodied, it is very stylish, and for those who want a Zinfandel more reserved and restrained, this is your pick of the Turley portfolio. Drink it over the next 7-8 years."(90pts)2 bottles per lot $60-80

33076 Turley Zinfandel - Vintage 2010Dogtown Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Turley's 2010 Zinfandel Dogtown Vineyard is a wine that will challenge readers' perceptions of what Zinfandel can be. Intensely perfumed and gracious, the 2010 flows across the palate with raspberry jam, crushed flowers and licorice. The aromas and flavors are very much high-toned in this utterly distinctive Zinfandel. There is no shortage of personality here. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2025."(94pts)

33079 Turley Zinfandel - Vintage 2013Dogtown Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, slightly lower acidity, and a big, fleshy, full-bodied, multi-layered mouthfeel characterize the 2013 Zinfandel Dogtown Vineyard from Lodi. This vineyard was planted in 1944 on rolling hills largely composed of volcanic soils and come clay. The 2013 is a terrific example of Dogtown and stands out as one of the great successes Larry Turley and his winemaking team have had in this vineyard they have farmed for so long. The alcohol is heady (15.9%), but again, it throws the myth of excessive alcohol under the bus. The wine has no heat, heaviness or cloying character whatsoever. Beautifully textured, full-bodied, opulent, and one of the sexiest of a fabulous portfolio of seductive wines, this is a knockout example to drink over the next 5-7 years. In fact, I would go so far as to say this might be one of the all-time greatest Zinfandels ever produced in Lodi, but it is not without some heady competition."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $60-80

33080 Turley Zinfandel - Vintage 2013Dragon Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"Larry Turley has produced three 2013 Zinfandels from the Howell Mountain AVA, which he was one of the first to exploit in terms of Zinfandel. Nearly 25 years later, he continues making some of the finest wines this ancient grape can produce. The 2013 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard from Howell Mountain originates from one of the highest elevation sites in the Turley portfolio. Estate-owned, this vineyard (at 2400 feet, well above the fog line and east-facing as well) is planted in volcanic and rocky soils. It has always produced one of the killer Zinfandels, and the 2013 (15.3% alcohol) is no exception. It has a saturated dense ruby/purple color, a seamless integration of acidity, tannin and alcohol,

stunning boysenberry, blueberry, and black raspberry fruit, and great complexity for a Zinfandel. Full-bodied, with a stunningly proportioned texture, terrific purity and palate presence, at the same time its acidity gives it a zestiness and an ethereal quality. This is a stunner and a Zinfandel that's drinkable now, but also capable of evolving for up to a decade or more."(97pts)3 bottles per lot $110-150

Layers of expressive red berries caress the palate in a Zinfandel that shows the more feminine, gracious side of the grape. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020."(92pts)4 bottles per lot $110-150

The vineyard in their backyard produced the 2013 Zinfandel Turley Estate (15.7%). A young-vine, dry-farmed Zinfandel from head-pruned, organic vines planted in 2006, this is another Châteauneuf du Pape look-alike. Peppery, roasted meat, blackcurrant, black cherry and garrigue smells dominate this wine, which has a distinctive Mediterranean personality even though the closest body of water is Lake Hennessy, and the Pacific Ocean is a drive two to three hours west. Rich, full-bodied, and

33099 Turley Zinfandel - Vintage 2013Judge Bell(Wines Located in New York)"The 2013 Zinfandel Judge Bell comes from a block of vines planted in 1907 known as Picnic Hill Block in the Story Vineyard. These are classic head-pruned, dry-farmed, ungrafted vines planted eight years before the beginning of World War I. One of the best Amador Zinfandels I've ever tasted, this wine displays plenty of briary raspberry, black and red cherry as well as boysenberry fruit, good underlying structure, some earth, pepper, meat and spice. It is full-bodied, rich, heady, and somehow manages to brilliantly conceal a whopping 16.2% natural alcohol. Of course, a wine like this would be excoriated by the "in pursuit of balance" crowd, but this is what balance is all about what looks to be a mind-numbing amount of alcohol is incredibly well-concealed. This wine should drink well for 8-10 years."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $60-80

This is a big, dark, full-bodied wine with expressive aromatics of sweet red, blue and black fruits, spice, a dash of pepper, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and Turley's signature hallmark of purity and vibrant fruit nicely balanced by acidity and sweet tannin. Hedonistic, but also intellectually satisfying, this big, juicy Amador Zinfandel should drink well for 5-6 years."(94pts)3 bottles per lot $90-120

The vines are head-pruned and the soils purely volcanic. One the profound Zinfandels from Turley in 2013, this wine is locked-and-loaded, so to speak powerful, packed, rich, and full-bodied, with blackberry, blueberry, black raspberry and cherry fruit in abundance. It is obviously full-bodied, thick, even unctuously textured, while it seems to have slightly less acidity than some of the other cuvées or at least, that's how it presents itself. This is a stunner to drink over the next 10-12+ years. It is a great Zinfandel and one of the most sumptuous and exotic in the portfolio."(96pts)4 bottles per lot $130-170

This is aged in 75% oak casks and 25% stainless steel, which seems to be the perfect marriage for showcasing this wine’s rich fruit. The wine has loads of tangerine oil, citrus blossom, a hint of apples and orange marmalade. The oak is subtle, the wine medium to full-bodied, pure and rich. (This is the official tasting note, but I shared two bottles with some friends of mine at the casual Market restaurant in St. Helena, and it was a huge hit.)"(93pts)6 bottles per lot $160-220

33127 Almaviva - Vintage 20141x1 double mangum owc (Wines Locatedin New York)"I retasted the 2014 Almaviva next to the current 2015 and 2016 for comparison's sake. 2014 is considered a very good year in the powerful and concentrated way. In Puente Alto, they didn't have problems with frost, but yields were some of the lowest in recent times. This vintage has more alcohol (the label reads 15% alcohol). It's developing at a slow pace—it still has some lactic notes that denote youth—and should have a long life ahead in the bottle. This could be a long-distance runner of a vintage; in fact, it remains more closed than the rest of recent vintages."(94 pts)1 double magnum per lot $300-400

Lush and lusciously fruited on the palate it combines apple, peach, and melon with a pungently bitter-sweet suggestion of orange marmalade. With less lift and refreshment and a touch of warmth vis a vis other wines in this group, it partly compensates by dint of sheer richness of flavor and texture. I would be inclined to plan on enjoying it within 5-6 years."(90pts)4 bottles per lot $450-600

33133 Verite Red - Vintage 2000La Muse(Wines Located in New York)"Composed of 86% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, all from Sonoma, this totally mature, soft, round, fruity red offers up hints of underbrush, fruitcake, black currants, sweet kirsch and licorice. By no means the most complete or concentrated La Muse, it is the fastest to hit full maturity. Drink it over the next 5-7 years."(91pts)2 bottles per lot $200-280

33134 Verite Red - Vintage 2001La Muse(Wines Located in New York)"This dense purple-colored effort exhibits notes of licorice, creme de cassis, plum sauce, violets and truffles. Full-bodied with magnificent density, overall equilibrium, stunning purity, sweet but abundant tannin and a fabulous finish, this profound wine remains a baby at age ten. Give it another 5-6 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 35-40+ years. It is very French in style even though one could argue that this level of concentration can only be achieved by a handful of wines from Pomerol and St.-Emilion."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $180-240

33135 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1983St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"...soars from the glass is a deep, pure and nascently complex nose of cassis, dark berries, woodsmoke, a touch of Ducru nuttiness, beautifully complex, gravelly soil tones, a touch of juniper berry, Cuban tobacco and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and utterly refined, with a rock solid core of fruit, refined tannins, excellent focus and balance and outstanding length and grip on the elegant and utterly classic finish."(94pts JG)2 bottles per lot $200-280

33137 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 2006Graves(Wines Located in New York)"From bottle, it reminds me of the 1998, given its structure and backward style. Dense ruby/purple-colored, it possesses a boatload of tannin, but with coaxing, tobacco leaf, sweet black currant, burning ember, and blue fruit characteristics emerge."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $450-600

33138 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1988Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"... is one of the best efforts of the vintage. Although the bouquet is still reserved, it reveals attractive herbal, cassis, smoky aromas. In the mouth, there is considerable richness and weight, a full-bodied, powerful feel on the palate, and a long, moderately tannic finish."(92pts)2 bottles per lot $220-300

33139 Château Margaux - Vintage 1988Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"Still not giving all it has to offer, this shows wonderful aromas and flavors of currant, violet, tobacco and earth. Full-bodied and powerful, with a solid underpinning of firm yet silky tannins. A classic Margaux. Best after 2000."(95pts WS)1 bottle per lot $350-500

33140 Château Margaux - Vintage 1999Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"The 1999 Château Margaux has been the standout First Growth since I first tasted the wine from barrel. Now reaching its plateau of maturity, it has an understated nose at first, armed with impressive mineralité with a gorgeous graphite seam. The definition and precision here is top class. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth in texture, very harmonious and assured, surprisingly with some new oak still to be fully assimilated into the wine. The signature Margaux traits of crushed black cherries and violets comes through towards the finish, suggestions of raspberry reserve and desiccated orange peel enhancing the long finish. Perhaps I might temper my initial enthusiasm for the 1999 Château Margaux...but only slightly. It comes highly recommended."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

"...one of the great wines of the vintage. The color is an impressive opaque dark ruby with only a hint of amber at the edge. The powerful nose of jammy blackcurrants, cedar, and roasted herbs is followed by a broad-shoulderedstyle of Pichon, with superb concentration, soft tannins, below average acidity, and a spectacularly rich, explosive finish."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

33144 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2014Comte de Vogue(Wines Located in New York)"...has a gorgeous, floral bouquet with scents of blueberry, blackberry and briary, wonderful mineral expression here with a palpable sense of energy and precision. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, what you might call a "cool" Bonnes Mares, sleek and sensual with very fine tension towards the red cherry and kirsch tinged finish."(95pts)1 magnum per lot $500-700

33145 Charmes Chambertin - Vintage 2014Vieilles Vignes, D. Bachelet(Wines Located in New York)"The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, quite succulent tannin, but as always there is real elegance and poise here. It clams up a little towards the finish, just leaves the door open ajar, but sufficient to notice its impressive structure with a tingle of black pepper on the aftertaste."(95-97pts)2 bottles per lot $550-750

33146 Clos des Lambrays - Vintage 2006Domaine des Lambrays(Wines Located in New York)"An elegant, refined, complex and notably floral nose displays moderately ripe red berry fruit aromas that are nuanced by earth, stone and spice undertones. There is good verve to the sappy and mouth coating medium-bodied flavors that possess good if not special concentration and dry extract on the impressively long and slightly warm finish. This appears to have just a bit more potential than I gave it credit for when I first reviewed it and I have accordingly raised my score."(92pts BH)1 magnum per lot $260-350

33147 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2011Dujac(Wines Located in New York)"This is highly expressive, indeed unusually so for very young Bonnes Mares, and offers up nothing short of a

kaleidoscopic array of scents that include a wide range of floral, earth, stone and mostly red berry fruit aromas. There is superb density and focused power to the big-bodied flavors that are overtly powerful and quite muscular yet there is no trace of rusticity or absence of refinement to the hugely long finish. This is a succulent yet formidable Bonnes Mares and absolutely knockout stuff that is destined to amply reward those who have the (considerable) patience to wait for its full maturity."(94-97pts BH)2 bottles per lot $900-1200

33148 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2006Clos St. Jacques, Vieilles Vignes, Fourrierltl (Wines Located in New York)"A perfume-like, profuse and variegated bouquet of red raspberry, maraschino, cinnamon, marigold, and rose leads to a silken-textured though subtly-tannic palate with smoked meat and saline undertones."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

33149 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2007Les Goulots, Vieilles Vignes, Fourrierssos (Wines Located in New York)"Highly perfumed nose combines raspberry, licorice and minerals.

There is good richness and fine volume to the moderately robust and muscular flavors that culminate in a balanced and linear finish that evidences mild austerity. I quite like this as the tannins are finer than usual and there is a real sense of harmony and completeness."(92pts BH)3 bottles per lot $650-850

classic Vaucrains character of robust muscularity and power is coming to the fore with linear, structured yet elegant and forward flavors underpinned by buried tannins and simply superb depth of extract. This is a great wine in the making and the complexity on the finish is truly stunning. It will be capable of 25 years of longevity, perhaps longer."(93pts BH)1 bottle per lot $150-200

Jabouletlbsl (Wines Located in New York)"This fabulous, blockbuster has been totally unevolved since bottling, but at the Jaboulet tasting, it was beginning to reveal some of its formidable potential. A saturated opaque purple color is followed by aromas of cassis, minerals, and hot bricks/wood fire.

Perfumed, gracious and utterly sublime, the 2012 is all nuance. It is a real treat to taste and drink after two weeks of tasting embryonic six-month-old Bordeaux. It is also absolutely gorgeous with some of the lighter first courses on the menu. I can see the bewildered faces of my guests, all them native or adopted Bordeaux locals.

surprises. It meets the high-quality bar achieved at Montevertine. With fruit picked on September 22, this vintage represents the estate's earliest harvest. This is also the Le Pergole Torte with the lowest acidity ever made. Despite these red flags, the wine delivers a full bouquet with dark mineral notes, succulent fruit, plum and prune. You also get hints of dry hay, black olive and campfire ash. One basic truth remains: By all accounts, this wine should be dead by now.

Rich, dark and sensual, the wine flows onto the palate with marvelous concentration and depth. Layers of menthol, spices, sweet roses and dark fruit swirl around in the glass as this magnificent, regal Barolo struts its stuff. A veritable fountain of youth, this towering Barolo promises to drink spectacularly well for another two decades. From a standard bottle the 1990 is approachable, but readers lucky enough to own large formats will want to find a way to wait a few more years.

Full-bodied and dense, with Montelena's typical power, tannin and reserved nature, this is a big, rich, formidably endowed red that requires 4-5 years of cellaring.

by itself.

The full-bodied palate is packed with spicy, savory and earthy layers, with a firm backbone of grainy tannins and lively acid, finishing with lingering pepper and anise notes.

Rita Hills, yet has smaller portions from his Cumulus, The Third Twin and Bien Nacido vineyards. Seeing just over 24 months in a mix of demi-muids, 300-liter Hog Heads and barrique, it has a sensational bouquet of spring flowers, black raspberries, black cherries, violets, licorice and camphor. Reminding me of a great vintage of Raymond Usseglio's Cuvée Imperiale, this full-bodied, elegant Grenache is impeccably balanced, has a full and layered mid-palate (which is missing from just about every other Grenache made in California), and sweet tannin on the finish. It's almost impervious to air and didn't budge an inch over the three days I followed this bottle."(98pts)4 bottles per lot $700-900

Full-bodied, decadently concentrated and yet very, very pretty in the mouth, it delivers incredibly fine-grained, ripe tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing on a persistent totally disarming perfumed red fruit note. 1,199 cases of 750 milliliter bottles and 600 magnums were made."(100pts)

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.

The purity here is truly something, and it has fabulous mid-palate concentration, building tannin and massive texture. Given all of the fruit and texture here, it will no doubt drink well in its youth, but it should still be alive and kicking after two decades as well."(96pts)6 bottles per lot $300-400

33312 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 1986St. Estephebn, lwrl, lgsl (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 magnum per lot $240-320

It leaps from the glass with opulent sandalwood, Chinese five spice, cigar box and leather scents over a core of prunes, baked cherries, dried mulberries and eucalyptus plus a touch of potpourri. Medium-bodied, the palate is laden with fragrant fruitcake and exotic spice layers, framed by wonderfully plush tannins and a refreshing line, finishing with an exhilarating menthol lift."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

33321 Château Figeac - Vintage 1982St. Emilionts, gsl, spc (Wines Located in New York)"The color is surprisingly dark for a Figeac, with no lightening at the edges. A huge, explosive nose soars from the glass offering scents of jammy blackcurrants, cedar, vanillin, peppery black olives, and toasty new oak. Lavishly rich and medium to full-bodied, with wonderful extraction of flavor and that sweet, luscious fruit that is the hallmark of this vintage, this stupendous wine continues to go from strength to strength."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

33322 Château Figeac - Vintage 1986St. Emilionbn, lgsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1986 Figeac was all about the leather at first, "cuire" someone commented. It had a beautiful nose with more wintergreen, meat, nut, and plummy, sweet, purple fruits. There was a cake-like quality to its sweetness. There was also a kiss of olive, but that was secondary. The palate was rich, long and with excellent tannins and acidity, just a flat-out great Figeac. The '86 actually had more vigor then the '90 as it stayed in the glass, still maintaining its level of richness and style, and Madame Nicolas of La Conseillante, who was also a guest at the lunch, also admired its character."(95+pts JK)1 bottle per lot $150-200

33323 Château Grand Puy Lacoste - Vintage 1990Pauillacsdc (Wines Located in New York)"It possesses an opaque ruby/purple color, as well as a stunning nose of jammy blackcurrants, cedar, spice, and smoke. Full-bodied, with magnificent extract, excellent

delineation, outstanding purity, and layers of intensity, this massive, dense, well-balanced Pauillac is the finest Grand-Puy-Lacoste since the 1982."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $350-500

33324 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1995Graveslbsl (Wines Located in New York)"This vintage is aging at a glacial pace and the tannins are currently more significant than their counterbalancing components of fruit and glycerin. While the word "potential" seems to be the most positive descriptor for this vintage, there are some nagging doubts about whether all the tannins will melt away and the fruit will hold. As in most 1995s, the color remains a healthy dark plum/purple. One of the bigger wines of the vintage, the ripe, powerful Merlot component has buttressed the Cabernet elements, giving the wine plenty of body, tannin and La Mission's classic asphalt, cassis, blackberry, smoky barbecue, meaty notes intermixed with a hint of hot rocks. The 1995 is still a young wine and I am beginning to wonder if this vintage overall will resemble 1975 rather than something with more charm? Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035?."(95+pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

A stunningly opulent wine with a dense purple color, the 2005 possesses a beautiful perfume of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberries, creosote, and graphite, full body, silky but noticeable tannins, a layered mouthfeel, and a stunning, 45+-second finish."(95pts)3 bottles per lot $200-280

1966 and 1971 - both among the finest efforts for these vintages. The dense, medium to full-bodied 1993 exhibits layers of richness, plenty of dry, hard tannin, and enough sweet fruit, glycerin, and extraction to balance out the wine's tough personality."(90pts)1 bottle per lot $350-500

33330 Château Latour - Vintage 1994Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"It exhibits an opaque dark ruby/purple color, and a backward, intense textbook nose of walnut and cassis scents complemented by smoky pain grille notes that build in the glass. This full-bodied, powerful, layered Latour reveals high tannin, but no bitterness or astringency. The superb purity, fabulous precision, and remarkable length should ensure 35-40 years of longevity."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $320-420

33331 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 1995St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"A beautiful wine, with layers of ripe fruit, berry, cedar, vanilla and light spice. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long finish. Very, very classy stuff."(94pts WS)6 bottles per lot $500-700

33333 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 1990St. Julien1bn, 2lstl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1990 reveals a dense, dark purple color, followed by a sweet, pure nose of black fruits, minerals, lead pencil, and vanillin. Broad, expansive flavors come across as rich, pure, and concentrated, but never heavy or coarse. Beautifully integrated tannin and acidity are barely noticeable in this classic, full-bodied, velvety-textured, youthful yet exceptional St.-Julien."(96pts)3 bottles per lot $750-1000

33334 Château Leoville Las Cases - Vintage 2004St. Julien(Wines Located in New York)"...exhibits the classic style of both Las Cases and St.-Julien in its deep black currant notes interwoven with sweet cherries, wet stones, and toasty vanillin.

33335 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 2000Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)

"Beginning to open magnificently, the still dense purple-colored 2000 reveals a blossoming bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the all-time great examples of Lynch Bages, the 2000 is just beginning to drink well yet promises to last for another 20-25+ years."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $350-500

33338 Château Margaux - Vintage 1982Margauxts, bsl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"We transitioned to the remaining four First Growths in the next flight, beginning with a phenomenal bottle of 1982 Margaux (sourced from Château). The Margaux had a pungent nose, and its t n a jumped out at first. It also had cinnamon, iron, rock and gorgeous perfume. It was beyond licorice according to Dan, and Australian John admired its cherry liqueur. The palate was rocky without the horror but with the picture show, not its usual feminine self, Ray observed. Though spiny and long, the Margaux was still stylish with a touch of that Margaux elegance. This was a great bottle of this wine, and it ended up being wine of the flight, outshowing all the other First Growths."(97pts JK)1 bottle per lot $600-800

33339 Château Margaux - Vintage 1988Margauxbn, bsl, tl (Wines Located in New York)"Still not giving all it has to offer, this shows wonderful aromas and flavors of currant, violet, tobacco and earth.

33342 Château Palmer - Vintage 1995Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"...exhibits a dense, dark ruby/purple color, followed by an attractive sweet nose of jammy black fruits and vanillin. This ripe, medium-bodied wine is richer, heavier, and more concentrated than the 1994, with extremely low acidity, an attractive opulence, and moderate tannin in the heady, easy-going finish."(90pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

33343 Château Palmer - Vintage 1996Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"Palmer has finally invested in a new state of the art winemaking facility, with temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and an impressive new cuverie. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, the 1996 is a powerful, dense, backward wine that recalls the 1986. The wine is more difficult to judge because of the high Merlot component, and the fact that this wine has not yet totally fleshed out. It is an impressively built, medium to full-bodied, muscular, rich claret."(91pts)2 bottles per lot $350-500

33344 Château Palmer - Vintage 1999Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"A sweet, fat entry on the palate is followed by sexy, chewy, succulent, black fruit, licorice, mineral, and smoky flavors.

33348 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1995Pauillacnl (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.

33350 Château Smith Haut Lafitte - Vintage 2000Graves(Wines Located in New York)"One can't say enough about this winery, which may still fly under the radar of most consumers. The fully mature 2000 displays gorgeous aromas of camphor, lead pencil shavings, unsmoked tobacco, plums, and black currants.

33356 Château d'Yquem - Vintage 2005Sauternes(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 half-bottle per lot $100-140

33357 Château Lafaurie Peyraguey - Vintage 1990Sauternes1ll, 3ltl, 1wisl, 1bsl (Wines Located in New York)"I remember how one-dimensional, diffuse, thick, and alcoholic this wine tasted from cask and immediately after bottling, but it has progressed enormously. 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)3 bottles per lot $120-160

33359 Échézeaux - Vintage 1990A.F. Groslbsl (Wines Located in New York)"The profound Échézeaux is one of the best examples I have tasted from this grand cru vineyard, which has a tendency to turn out light wines. This 1990 displays a super nose of sweet black-raspberries, toasty new oak, and violets. In the mouth, there is full body, a generous yet gentle, expansive richness, an unctuous texture, and an explosively long, lovely, impeccably well-balanced finish. Drink it over the next 9-10 years."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $240-320

33360 Échézeaux - Vintage 2003Dujac(Wines Located in New York)"Here the aromas run much more towards the black fruit spectrum with gorgeous and seductive spice notes nuanced by floral under tones and followed by fresh, chewy and firmly structured, even robust full-bodied and densely concentrated flavors that offer excellent depth of material and first rate complexity.

The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, the oak needing a little more time to fully integrate. But it is endowed with a pleasant, endearing spiciness, almost fieriness that lends the finish intrigue. This has finesse and focus, constituting and supremely well-crafted 2013."(91-93pts)2 bottles per lot $100-140

33365 Vougeot - Vintage 2013Les Petits Vougeots, Hudelot-Noellat(Wines Located in New York)"Full, deep red. Musky redcurrant, iron and dusty spices on the nose. Suppler and sweeter than the Vosne villages but without quite that wine's cut and precision. The musky red fruit and spice flavors show very good breadth and depth, with the finish revealing serious tongue-dusting tannins. Supported by solid underlying minerality but this wine is surprisingly accessible already."(90pts VM)1 bottle per lot $80-110

The Chambertin is distinguished for its seamless, generous fruit and totally inviting personality. Crushed flowers, sweet spices and licorice are some of the many notes that develop in the glass, adding complexity and depth to the expansive, creamy finish. The 2010 Chambertin was stunning a year ago, it is stunning today and my impression is it will always be magnificent, even if it is likely to go through a stubborn period somewhere along the way.

33382 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2001Reserve Sixtine, cuvée du Vatican1x6 bottle owc (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 $240-320

33383 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2008cuvée Reservee, Domaine du Pegau(Wines Located in New York)"The 2008 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée Reservee was about to be bottled at the time of my visit, and it will certainly be one of the better wines of the vintage. By

the standards of Pegau, it is not a massive wine nor will it be terribly long-lived. However, this estate has an incredible track record in off years, so I would not be surprised to see this wine exceeding readers' expectations in 10-12 years. Tasting through the three remaining lots that will be blended together, I rated them between 89 and 92. That makes it one of the better wines of the vintage. Medium to full-bodied, chewy and very evolved, the wine exhibits lots of earth, lavender and foresty/mossy notes intermixed with kirsch, peppery black currants and Christmas fruitcake spices. It should drink nicely for 10-12+ years. Laurence calls it a very "traditional" style that she believes will be as good as their 2006."(89-91pts)2 bottles per lot $80-110

33384 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. If you are looking for the garrigue component, it's also there.(98pts)4 bottles per lot $300-400

33386 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 2003La Mouline, E. Guigalnl (Wines Located in New York)"The 2003 Côte-Rotie La Mouline is by far the most delicate and elegant wine but the enormous aromatics of spring flowers intermixed with Crème de cassis, black raspberry, mocha, caramel, and cola, and enormous full-bodied opulence and striking velvety, seamless texture make for one of the most memorable wines anyone could every drink."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $450-600

33387 Hermitage Blanc - Vintage 1994J.L. Chave(Wines Located in New York)"... is one of the most seductive, perfumed, multi-layered, and profoundly textured white Hermitages I have tasted from Chave.

crushed juniper berry, hot tar, sage leaf, roasted chestnut and grilled beef notes that scorch across the palate. Still rugged on the finish, though the color at the rim and the intensity and range of the aromas show that this is evolving."(97pts WS)1 bottle per lot $75-100

33389 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2005Le Vieux Donjon(Wines Located in New York)"Vieux Donjon has produced a classic Châteauneuf du Pape in 2005, and it has the focused, structured feel of the vintage, yet avoids the harsh tannin that's found in a lot of cuvées. Exhibiting impressive notes of peppered meats, tapenade, sweet spice, iron and garrigue, with a core of sweet Grenache fruit, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and textured on the palate, with superb overall balance."(93pts)3 magnums per lot $300-400

33390 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1995La Mordoree, M. Chapoutier(Wines Located in New York)"Chapoutier's Côte Rôtie cuvée Mordoree is made from a small parcel of 75-80 year old vines adjacent to Guigal's famed single vineyard, La Turque. The 1995 Côte Rôtie cuvée Mordoree may turn out to rival the phenomenal 1991. It is the most complex, elegant, and multi-dimensional young Côte Rôtie I have tasted from Chapoutier. The awesome aromatics include scents of coffee, black-raspberries, vanilla, chocolate, hickory smoke, flowers, and Provencal olives."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $80-110

33392 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2003Clos des Papes, P. Avril(Wines Located in New York)"The wine has a dense ruby/purple-tinged color and a wonderfully sweet nose of framboise, blackberry, and kirsch liqueur intermixed with Chinese black tea and licorice. The wine is full-bodied and voluptuous, but once past all the glycerin and beautiful, dense fruit of this full-bodied wine, there is striking purity, elegance, finesse, and surprising freshness. Still primary, it looks set to have a long life of 20-25 or more years."(97pts)2 bottles per lot $150-200

33393 Hermitage - Vintage 1990La Chapelle, P. Jabouletlscl, scc (Wines Located in New York)"Spectacular aromatics offer up aromas of incense, smoke, blackberry fruit, cassis, barbecue spice, coffee, and a touch of chocolate. As it sits in the glass, additional nuances of pepper and grilled steak emerge. There is extraordinary freshness for such a mammoth wine in addition to abundant tannin, an amazing 60-second finish, and a level of glycerin and thick, fleshy

texture that have to be tasted to be believed."(100pts)1 bottle per lot $400-600

33394 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2003La Crau, Vieux Telegraphe(Wines Located in New York)"...has turned out well. Deep ruby with some purple nuances, this wine is medium to full-bodied and reveals notes of licorice, pepper, Asian spices, black cherry, raspberry, and currant, as well as a relatively big, sweet palate impression with moderate tannin in the finish."(92+pts)6 bottles per lot $240-320

33395 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007La Crau, Vieux Telegraphe(Wines Located in New York)"...may be the greatest wine made at this property since the 2005 and 1998. Dense ruby/purple-tinged with an exquisite nose of salty sea breezes, licorice, ground pepper, jammy black cherries, black currants, figs, and plums, this is a full-bodied, rich, Provencal-styled offering with lots of sweet, ripe tannin. It is surprisingly accessible for a Vieux Telegraphe (this wine normally shuts down several years after bottling), but it should have great longevity (25+ years) given its power, full-bodied mouthfeel, and enormous length and richness."(96+pts)6 bottles per lot $320-450

33396 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1985nl, cc (Wines Located in New York)"It was a classic bottle, as good as this vintage can get. There were aromas of vanilla, cream, nuts and sweet white sugar. Its palate was long and strong, and I wrote how this is the forgotten, great DP."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

33397 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1990(Wines Located in New York)"...is a creamy-textured, full styled offering that loses none of its elegance in spite of its flavor authority."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $260-350

33398 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2009(Wines Located in New York)"...is open, seductive and radiant, as it has always been. Soft curves, mid-weight structure and tons of plain allure make the 2009 impossible to resist in its youth. This bottle, the best I have tasted so far, offers a distinc citrus and floral-driven profile that adds a good deal of brightness. Above all else, the 2009 is a gorgeous Champagne to drink now and over then next few decades."(94+pts VM)1 bottle per lot $110-150

47% Chardonnay and 53% Pinot Noir, and assembles the fruit of eight grand cru villages. Very intense and complex on the nose, this is a full-bodied, round, rich and mouth-filling, but also refined prestige cuvée; it reveals a fascinating purity, precision and freshness. The finish is long and complex, and shows a spicy minerality. There are coffee beans, bread and toast aromas in the aftertaste. This comes highly recommended."(94pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

Serious juice, with good aging potential."(92pts IWC)1 bottle per lot $75-100

I would be very surprised if this wine did not last another two decades."(97pts)1 magnum per lot $150-200

33403 Solaia - Vintage 2001Antinori(Wines Located in New York)"...Warm and explosive in its expression of black currant fruit, tobacco, tar, and graphite, superbly concentrated and dense on the palate but balanced and shapely at the same time and with a noble austerity and grip on the finish which resembles the best of Bordeaux."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $120-160

33405 Barolo - Vintage 2004Pio Cesare(Wines Located in New York)"The estate's 2004 Barolo is very elegant in this vintage. Although the wine is firm and quite primary, the tannins

are sweet, silky and refined. Today the wine reveals just a glimpse of its potential but it should develop into a gem with time. While most of the attention at Pio Cesare goes to the Barolo Ornato, this is the hidden beauty in this lineup. This Barolo is a multi-commune blend. Most of the fruit (60%) comes from the less well-exposed portions of the family's Ornato vineyard, while the rest of the fruit is sourced from plots in La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga, Novello and Grinzane Cavour. The wine was aged in French oak casks (70%) and smaller French oak barrels (30%). This wine offers an incredible level of quality considering the production is 80,000 bottles. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024."(93pts)4 bottles per lot $150-200

33414 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005Special Selection(Wines Located in New York)"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is made in the classic Caymus style that Chuck Wagner has perfected, seemingly so easily. It's a big, ripe Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (as it should be) coming in at 15.2% natural alcohol. 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)3 bottles per lot $350-500

33415 Dominus - Vintage 2001(Wines Located in New York)"A brilliant showing for Christian Moueix's well-known Napanook Vineyard, the 2001 Dominus is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. A classic in the making, this is a flawless, seamless example of elegant, complex Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that possesses a Bordeaux-like personality. This gorgeous, sexy, opulent, dense ruby/purple-colored wine reveals sweet caramel,

mocha, creme de cassis and kirsch notes intermixed with a hint of espresso roast as well as underbrush. Ripe, long and full-bodied with well-integrated tannin, acidity, alcohol and wood, this prodigious 2001 is drinkable now and over the next 25+ years given this estate's longevity track record. A virtually perfect wine, it is one of the most complex 2001s at present."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $400-600

33417 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 1993Insignia(Wines Located in New York)"...possesses a dense, almost opaque ruby/purple color, as well as a huge, sweet nose of blackcurrants, fruitcake, spice, and vanilla. 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. It will easily last for two decades, although I suspect most of it will be consumed within 7-10 hours of purchase."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

33418 Joseph Phelps Winery - Vintage 1998Insignia(Wines Located in New York)"A dark, deliciously rich and complex youngster, brimming with layers of curant, blackberry, plum, mineral, spice, chocolate and cedar.

33419 Opus One - Vintage 1980ts, bsl, nl (Wines Located in New York)"Black cherries, plums, tobacco, incense, new leather, licorice and savory herbs take shape in the 1980 Opus One. A wine of extraordinary richness and pure power, the 1980 impresses for its depth and size. Absolutely nothing is out of place in this impeccably refined, layered wine. Cinnamon, cloves, menthol, hard candy, tar and licorice all flesh out on the rich, resonant finish."(95pts VM)1 bottle per lot $260-350

It boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with a sweet bouquet of lead pencil shavings, black currants and a hint of toasty oak. More evolved than usual, this full-bodied, opulent 2004 is part of the new wave of Opus Ones made under the administration of Philippe Dhalluin, the administrator of Mouton Rothschild, who

33421 Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1992Monte Bellosdc (Wines Located in New York)"When I tasted this wine early in its life I felt it had outstanding potential. With another year of cellaring it has gained considerable weight. It now looks to be one of the greatest examples of Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon Ridge has produced. Only 40% of the crop made it into the final blend, which consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. The wine offers a black/purple color, a profound nose of minerals, cassis, licorice, and spices, spectacular richness, and a great mid-palate that boasts layers of fruit. Admirable purity, fine underlying acidity, and considerable sweet, ripe tannin make this another compelling effort."(94-97pts)1 bottle per lot $240-320

Someone observed pine' and wintergreen.' It was still so young and fresh, and our host commented how these age forever.' Its palate was long, sexy and elegant yet also powerful with layers of complexity. There was great meat and balance to its palate, with a cave-like finish, like limestone dripping from stalagmites or stalactites, whichever ones hang from the ceiling lol. Secondary coconut added even more appeal to this already delicious wine."(96pts JK)1 bottle per lot $240-320

This opaque purple-colored wine is not as developed or flamboyant as Fonseca, but it is super-concentrated and multi-layered, with huge masses of fruit and some tannin in the finish. This is a slightly drier style than Fonseca or Graham's, but it appears to be a classic, majestic, enormously constituted 1994 that should age effortlessly for three decades or more.

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.

The wine opens to a rich and masculine appearance, and there are iron-like notes that seem specific to this vintage. More mineral and granite stone add great definition.

Aged in 100% Darnajou casks, this cuvée of 2,300 cases is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Cabernet Franc. Pauillac-like in a somewhat Lynch-Bages style, this meaty, fleshy wine has plenty of Crème de cassis, licorice, cedar wood and forest floor. It is full-bodied, opulent, and a beautiful example of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that should drink well for 25-30 years."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

33599 Fonseca Vintage Port - Vintage 1983(Wines Located in Citymeals on Wheels)"Fonseca is one of the great port lodges, producing the most exotic and most complex port. If Fonseca lacks the sheer weight and power of a Taylor, Dow or Warre, or the opulent sweetness and intensity of a Graham, it excels in its magnificently complex, intense bouquet of plummy, cedary, spicy fruit and long, broad, expansive flavors. With its lush, seductive character, one might call it the Pomerol of Vintage ports. When it is young, it often loses out in blind tastings to the heavier, weightier, more tannic wines, but I always find myself

upgrading my opinion of Fonseca after it has had 7-10 years of age. The 1983 is magnificently scented, full-bodied, creamy, rather forward, but showing great length and character."(92pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

33600 Fonseca Vintage Port - Vintage 2000(Wines Located in Citymeals on Wheels)"The 2000 Fonseca continues to exude finesse and focus on the nose, with pure blackberry, juniper berries, licorice and a touch of sloes, perhaps as Adrian Bridge remarked, just beginning to close after ten years in bottle. The palate is underpinned by very fine tannins, a sensual, svelte texture with wonderful acidity. The harmony and symmetry is alluring, the finish precise and demonstrating the persistency to suggest a long future ahead. Drink 2020-2060."(96pts)3 bottles per lot $180-240

With sweet but noticeable tannins, good acidity, and a powerful, long finish, this textbook St.-Emilion cuts a swath between the modern school of winemaking and the traditionalists."(94pts)4 bottles per lot $220-300

33621 Château Calon Segur - Vintage 2006St. Estephe2scl (Wines Located in New York)"...the 2006 Calon Segur was current winemaker Vincent Millet's first vintage. In many ways, you can see it as one of the last of the "old style" Calon Segur wines with a higher percentage of Merlot than nowadays (the 2006 consists of 33% Merlot), while I aver that the tannins are not as fine as they are nowadays. The Merlot component is vividly expressed on the nose with ravishing ripe red cherries, kirsch and strawberry, just slightly smudged by the alcohol. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, quite sexy in style but it does not have the class of more recent vintages and it seems to have remained tough up on the finish. It will loosen up with time, so afford this another 6-8 years in bottle. Tasted January 2016."(93pts)2 bottles per lot $130-170

There are plenty of firm tannins in the background of this blockbuster wine, which has been built for the long haul.(93pts)3 bottles per lot $190-260

33628 Château L'Eglise Clinet - Vintage 2014Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"The 2014 L'Eglise Clinet was tasted from a single bottle but from two glasses, each poured at different times before I arrived for the tasting. They were almost identical on the nose but the one poured later was more compact. It has a very pure bouquet with blackberry, myrtle, a touch of iris and a touch of garrigue (actually reminiscent of fynbos, the wild South African shrubland). The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, a silver bead of acidity, wonderful precision and beguiling purity. This is an outstanding Pomerol for the vintage from Denis Durantou, sophisticated and classy, yet the bottom line is quintessentially Pomerol. Bravo Denis."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

33629 Château La Conseillante - Vintage 2010Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"This estate has been on a hot streak of late. The 2010 is a slightly bigger, richer wine, but without losing its floral, elegant mulberry, black raspberry and sweet kirsch notes. Combine those with some licorice, subtle new oak and a hint of forest floor, and the result is a medium to full-bodied, rich, complex wine that has striking aromatics and perfect balance in the

33635 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 2003Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"A healthy, youthful dark plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a bouquet of smoke, barbecued meats, black currants and new saddle leather.

Although it is not as fine as the 1989, 1990, or 2000, it is a complex, classic Pauillac to enjoy over the next decade."(94pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

33636 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 2006Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Lynch Bages has another quite vivacious bouquet with lively black cherries, kirsch and wild mint aromas that do not hold back. I love the purity here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine supple tannin, well-judged acidity, a gentle grip in the mouth, and plenty of lightly spiced and surprisingly intense fruit on the bravura finish. The Cazes family oversaw a very sophisticated Lynch-Bages in this vintage that may well surpass many peoples' expectations. Tasted January 2016."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $100-140

Loads of crushed rock and chalkiness, along with licorice, black truffle, smoked game and black fruits dominate the aromatics and flavor. Backward, formidably endowed, full-bodied and almost atypically massive and huge, with gargantuan extraction, this is a wine for patient connoisseurs to forget about for close to a decade. Anticipated maturity: 2022-2040+."(95+pts)4 bottles per lot $300-400

33640 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2010Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"Opaque purple, with loads of charcoal, licorice, incense and some exotic Asian spices along with abundant cassis liqueur, blackberry and hints of roasted coffee and spring flowers, it is full-bodied and opulent, with relatively high tannins, but they have sweetened up considerably and seem less aggressive than they did from barrel. The oak is clearly pushed to the background by the wine's wealth of fruit, glycerin and full-bodied texture."(97+pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320

33641 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 2010Pauillac(Wines Located in New York)"An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross-street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, there are also some violets and other assorted floral notes. The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent. The freshness, laser-like precision, and full-bodied, massive richness and extract are simply remarkable to behold and experience. It is very easy, to become jaded tasting such great wines from a great vintage, but it is really a privilege to taste something as amazing as this."(100pts)2 bottles per lot $300-400

33643 Château Rauzan Segla - Vintage 2006Margaux(Wines Located in New York)"The 2006 Château Rauzan-Ségla has a sous-bois and sandalwood-scented bouquet with a light "mahogany bureau" scent developing soon after. The nose is open and inviting. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and bestowed with greater fruit concentration than the nose suggests: blackberry, raspberry mixed with sage, cedar and a touch of sea salt. As usual, this Rauzan-Séglas has a surfeit of personality and while it might not be a contender for the longest-lived Margaux, it is the kind of Left Bank 2006 that you welcome at the dinner table.

(Wines Located in New York)"...dark ruby/garnet color is followed by a super bouquet. There are huge aromas of chocolate, spicy new oak, herbs, cassis and tobacco in this beautifully scented wine. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, voluptuous, spicy, and crammed with fruit, glycerin, and enough tannin to support 15-16 years of cellaring. Like the 1986, the tannins are soft, and, fortunately, the acids are not shrill enough to prevent immediate drinkability.

33790 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1991hwisl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)"The 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon is another upcoming re-release from the winery's library. It is one of the most unique wines I have ever tasted from Togni. The warm year yielded an abundant crop. At the time, Togni also made a white wine. Because of the size of the crop, the harvest took longer than normal, which meant the red grapes spent a little longer on the vine than they would have otherwise. The 1991 presents an intriguing combination of raciness from the super-ripe fruit, but within the classic Togni framework. Sweet tobacco, camphor, savory herbs, licorice and worn-in leather are some of the nuances that add complexity to the fruit. Layers of liqueur-like sweetness frame the beguiling finish. The 1991 is currently peaking, and it won't last forever, but readers lucky enough to taste this wine are in for a real treat. I have been fortunate to taste the 1991 twice over the last few months, and it has been hypnotic both times. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

A blockbuster, powerful, concentrated Monte Bello, it possesses an opaque purple color, plenty of spicy oak in the nose (100% American oak has always been used for aging Monte Bello), and a deep, layered, concentrated style. There is plenty of tannin, but it is sweeter than that found in the 1997, and the wine is more concentrated and extracted. There is a touch of oak in the flavors, which are otherwise dominated by minerals and jammy black fruits."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $200-280

(Wines Located in New York)" I have long enjoyed the 1977 Mondavi Reserve cabernet, so I was very happy to see it included in our August lineup, as I had not drunk a bottle since 2012. Time does not seem to have touched this lovely wine at all, as this bottle was in beautiful shape and delivers impressive breed and complexity on both the nose and palate. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a fine mix of red and black cherries, eucalyptus, a nice touch of Rutherford Bench soil, cigar smoke, petroleum jelly, eucalyptus and a bit of cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very elegant in profile, with lovely focus and grip, melting tannins and impressive length on the poised, balanced and complex finish. First class juice from the golden age at Mondavi."(93pts JG)1 bottle per lot $110-150

33793 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1991Hillside Select(Wines Located in New York)"The 1991 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select represents the beginning of a new era where sterile filtration was halted, after which the quality of most vintages soared to new heights. They may also have been picking riper fruit, as Napa Valley was in the midst of enjoying some fabulous vintages in what would turn out to be a Golden Era for its wineries. The 1991 is the finest Hillside Select of the early 1990s, although the 1992, 1994, 1995, 1997 and 1998 are close in quality. A stunning nose of licorice, vanillin, unsmoked cigar tobacco, Crème de cassis and cedarwood are present in this multilayered, full-bodied, opulent, super-concentrated wine. It still possesses an opaque ruby/purple color to the rim. At age 23, this beauty is just hitting its plateau of full maturity."(96pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

33794 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1992Hillside Selectlbsl (Wines Located in New York)"Possesses an opaque dark purple color, and a profoundly complex nose of minerals, ripe cassis fruit, cedar, chocolate, and subtle herbs. Full-bodied yet silky, with layers of concentrated, highly extracted fruit, this wine is exceptionally well-balanced, beautifully pure, and already delicious. It is still an infant in terms of development, but I would not fault anybody for wanting to drink it."(95pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200

"Sylvie Garcin's 2005 Barde-Haut comes from 42-plus acres of vineyard and is dominated by Merlot, with a good healthy dose of Cabernet Franc. It displays notes of chalk, crushed rock, blackcurrants and black cherries. It is a big, masculine style of wine from the Garcin family that has still not attained its plateau of maturity. In spite of the tannins, structure is not an issue with this wine, but it needs time to come around. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030."(92+pts)12 bottles per lot $350-500

33804 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2003cuvée de Mon Aieul, P. Usseglio(Wines Located in New York)"The best bottle of this I've had (and I've had plenty), Usseglio's 2003 Châteauneuf du Pape cuvée de Mon Aieul is a blockbuster and one of the true stars of this vintage. Almost all Grenache (there's a small part of Syrah and Cinsault) that was harvest between September 1-13, partially destemmed and aged in both tank and foudre, this massive, voluptuous effort is almost overflowing with notes of ground herbs, chocolate dusted meats, black fruits and licorice.

33808 Château Clinet - Vintage 2014Pomerol

(Wines Located in New York)"The 2014 Clinet was a wine that perplexed when I tasted it from barrel and as a consequence, it was one that I went back and retasted three or four times during that primeur campaign. Now in bottle, the bouquet has improved and developed more fruit concentration, armed with red plum, wild strawberry and blueberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied and quite refined, certainly not as opulent as other vintages from the estate, perhaps just missing a persistence on the angular finish. It is not a bad Clinet by a long stretch, it just feels a little constricted, especially compared to say the 2010 or 2015. I tasted this on three occasions, drawing the same conclusion each time."(91pts)2 bottles per lot $90-120

33812 Alion - Vintage 2013Bodegas Y Vinedos Alion(Wines Located in New York)"The careful selection of the grapes and the work directives even for the purchased grapes has clearly paid off in the 2013 Ali n, which has great freshness and perfume. It was cropped from a relatively normal growing season, but with a cold September with some rains that provoked a slight delay in the picking and especially the seed for a severe sorting of the grapes. It's considered a challenging vintage in general, and the bottles produced are slightly less than in the healthier 2012. It's always pure Tempranillo from over 30-year-old vines in different villages: Pesquera, Padilla, Moradillo... It fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts after a three-day cold soak, followed by malolactic and 12-14 months in new French barriques. It might be a lighter vintage for Ali n, but one that has a subtler profile and harmony. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, with a thread of acidity going through its core and lifting it up. An elegant Ali n. 260,000 bottles and some larger formats were filled in May 2015."(94pts)4 bottles per lot $120-160

33869 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2012Lavaux St. Jacques, Duroche(Wines Located in New York)"Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. Gotta fess up that the 2012 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St Jacques from Pierre Duroché was easy to spot in the line-up - maybe because I just loved it so much. Here, it has an open, generous, pure bouquet with red berry fruit, raspberry and strawberry, fine delineation and poise, understated at first but growing in stature. The palate is feminine, pure and sensual with fine tannin, wonderful poise and superb tension all the way through to the finish. What a beautiful wine - pure unadulterated pinoté!"(93pts)1 bottle per lot $70-90

The palate is medium-bodied with firm, grippy tannin. This is a masculine Morey-Saint-Denis, bold and forthright with a spicy, structured finish, a premier cru that needs at least five years in bottle to soften, yet the potential is all here."(93pts)

33895 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001

(Wines Located in New York)"A potentially perfect wine, which is in bottle after having spent 30 or so months in a combination of old and new oak. The practice under Bob Foley is to first keep the wines in neutral wood as the selections are made for the different cuvées and then, once made, move the wines into new oak until bottling. The 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (a 1,300-case blend of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 27 months in oak) offers gorgeously fresh, lively, but super-concentrated fruit. Inky blue/purple to the rim, with a spectacular nose of creme de cassis, licorice, camphor, and a hint of vanilla, this wine is sensationally rich, has remarkable intensity, a multi-dimensional palate, and fabulous concentration and depth. It needs another 1-3 years of bottle-age, and should easily and effortlessly evolve for 20 or more years."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $150-200
