_____________________________

329 Vosne Romanée - Vintage 2011Les Rouges du Dessus, A. Burguet1x12 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)"This is quite similar to the straight Vosne though it is more aromatically complex.

330 Chambertin - Vintage 2011Clos de Bèze, B. Clair(Wines Located in New York)"...has a very succinct bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry and a deft touch of bergamot that is detailed and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, ripe tannins and very well-judged acidity that keeps the whole thing tense and poised. This feels natural and refined with wonderful poise and grace on the delineated finish."(94pts)6 bottles per lot $1200-1600

341 Volnay - Vintage 2011Les Fremiets, Comte Armand(Wines Located in New York)"This is more refined still with an elegant, fresh and admirably pure nose of red and blue pinot fruit, violets and plum. Here too there is excellent detail on the intensely mineral-driven and moderately muscular flavors that culminate in a restrained and understated finish. Good juice with plenty of upside development potential."(90-92pts BH)6 bottles per lot $300-400

407 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007Clos des Papes, P. Avril1nl (Wines Located in New York)"It exhibits what is probably the deepest color I have ever seen here, and the finished alcohol is a high (for Clos des Papes) 15.5%. Still slightly restrained because of its recent bottling, but wow, what potential complexity, mind-boggling richness, and compelling flavor profile are apparent. It is a sublime expression of the art of winemaking as evidenced by its dense purple color and big, sweet kiss of kirsch, framboise, blackberries, licorice, roasted herbs, and smoked meat. It hits the palate with a fascinating combination of substance, power, full-bodied authority yet extraordinary freshness, elegance, and precision."(99+pts)6 bottles per lot $700-900

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)3 bottles per lot $1200-1600

aromatically, but in the mouth is a weighty wine exhibiting a dense ruby/purple color and tight aromatics consisting of new saddle leather, porcini, meat juices, licorice, tar, and black fruits. The wine is full-bodied, powerful, very tannic, and structured in a dramatically masculine, ageworthy style. This is one for the younger generation or those with considerable patience."(94+pts)3 magnums per lot $480-600

464 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.

486 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2003Thoreviloslscl (Wines Located in New York)"The dense plum/ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of white acacia flowers, blueberry liqueur, Crème de cassis and incense. The wine cuts a slightly deeper, richer, fuller-bodied mouthfeel than even the Madrona, but displays no harshness. Just entering its plateau of full maturity, the wine offers beautiful purity, symmetry and density as well as a subtle hint of new oak. A certain youthfulness suggests it might outlive its sibling, but it is still too early to know. This wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 10-15 years."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $240-320

It spent 24 months in 30% new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it delivers an expressive bouquet of pepper, smoke, espresso roast, blackberry, blueberry, and licorice. Full-bodied and voluptuous on the palate, nuances of saddle leather and mineral emerge to complement the layers of spicy blue and black fruits. The wine is beautifully integrated with enough well-concealed tannin to keep this wine evolving for decades. The pure finish lingers for 60+ seconds to complete the experience of a totally hedonistic turn-on."(97pts)8 bottles per lot $500-800

594 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1998cuvée Laurence, Domaine du Pegau(Wines Located in New York)"The 1998 Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée Laurence, the finest example of this offering I have yet tasted (even better than the 1989, 1990, and 1995), spent four years in small barrels prior to being bottled unfiltered. A spectacular effort, it is a monument to great Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A dense plum/purple color is followed by aromas of sweet black fruits intermixed with tobacco, cedar, pepper, and fruitcake. Powerful, rich, and concentrated, with a finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this wine is performing far better than when I tasted it a year ago. It is a legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the making."(96pts)2 magnums per lot $480-600

Eighty-three percent of the fruit comes from Sonoma and the rest from Napa County as the vineyard sits astride the county lines. Its dark plum/garnet color reveals a slight lightening at the edge. A beautiful nose of cedarwood, forest floor, red and black currants, kirsch and plum is followed by a full-bodied wine with great freshness, a rich, textured mouthfeel and sensational concentration with no heaviness. This is an uplifting, quintessential mountain Cabernet Sauvignon that outperforms the vintage."(97pts)3 bottles per lot $300-400

1585 Corton - Vintage 2009Clos des Cortons, Faiveley1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)"This sports one of the ripest noses in the entire range with distinctly spicy notes adding interest to the admirably fresh plum and mocha suffused aromas that precede highly energetic, concentrated and big-bodied flavors that are extremely concentrated and the dry extract imparts a seductive texture to the mildly austere, balanced and hugely long finish. This is one of the most promising vintages of this wine that I have ever seen but note that this will definitely not be an early drinker as the supporting structure is more than simply firm."(93-96pts BH)6 bottles per lot $950-1200

1590 Chambertin - Vintage 2005cuvée Heritiers Latour, L. Latour(Wines Located in New York)"A clear step up in aromatic complexity with a wonderful range of spice nuances, including anise, clove and cinnamon plus ripe dark and gamy fruit aromas where the sense of the sauvage continues onto the rich, full and sweet flavors that possess outstanding volume and power. This is a bruiser of a Chambertin but it's not rustic and I particularly like the mouth coating sappiness on the impressively long finish."(93pts BH)6 bottles per lot $800-1000

1591 Volnay - Vintage 2009Champans, Marquis d'Angerville(Wines Located in New York)"An incredibly complex, fresh and seductively perfumed nose offers up a wonderfully layered set of ripe red berry fruit, cassis, mineral and spice aromas that introduce sappy and lacy yet serious middle weight flavors that possess both excellent power and fine volume, all wrapped in a magnificently long finish. The tannins are quite firm yet they're also well-integrated as the abundant dry extract pushes them to the background. In a word, sensational."(94pts BH)8 bottles per lot $950-1200

1594 Chapelle Chambertin - Vintage 2007Ponsot1x3 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York)"Licorice, game, and sweetly-ripe dark berries inform a broad-shouldered Ponsot 2007 Chapelle-Chambertin that is both less refined and less striking than the corresponding Griotte, but hugely convincing in its expansive and energetic way: palpably dense and finely-tannic, finishing with wave-like dynamic and intensity of sappy berry juices, bitter-sweet herbal essences, and meat stock."(93pts)3 magnums per lot $800-1100

The extraordinarily youthful and still burgeoning aromatics of black raspberries, black cherries, truffles and licorice lead to a full-bodied, powerful Rayas with sweet tannin, adequate acidity, and an ethereal richness and unctuosity that delicately offers a sensual texture."(98pts)2 bottles per lot $1000-1300

Pignan, Château Rayas(Wines Located in New York)"High-pitched aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, rose petal, and Asian spices, lifted by a mineral quality.

1604 Hermitage Blanc - Vintage 2005J.L. Chave(Wines Located in New York)"Pale gold. Fabulously complex nose evokes honeyed pear, apricot, shiso leaf and botanical herbs. Creamy orchard fruit flavors are firmed by juicy minerality, becoming brighter and more bitter with air. This has the texture of a serious red wine, offering dense, chewy pear, yellow plum and peach skin flavors and picking up licorice and toasted nuts on the long, sappy finish, which ends with a whiplash of smoky minerals.

1679 Château L'Evangile - Vintage 1990Pomerolbn, lbsl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1990 L Evangile was classic, very expressive with lots of tannins and alcohol in the nose. It also had luscious fruit, a plum, cassis and black olive trifecta. There were secondary brick, wheat and nut aromas. Its fruit was meltingly sweet, and red mixed in with purple and a splash of black. It was quite explosive on the finish with its tannins and acidity, yet it was still balanced with a wealth of a fruit rainbow. Green olive flavors graced its finish. It was just flat-out delicious wine, still sturdy, long and fine. Some food toned down the (positive) aggressive nature of its t n a qualities, but its acidity stayed long and scintillating."(96pts JK)1 bottle per lot $200-260

1680 Château L'Evangile - Vintage 1998Pomerol(Wines Located in New York)"Captivating aromas of wild raspberry, cherry, mineral and grilled meat mark this full-bodied wine, along with huge,silky tannins and an extra-long, caressing finish.

vintage, but Roberto feels that it will be regarded differently in time. Wheels called 1993 in Piedmont the equivalent of 1980 in Burgundy in that people trashed the vintage, but in the end it turned out great. There was a hailstorm that limited quantity and put a black cloud on the 1993 vintage. The nose was fine and elegant with spearmint, cherry fruit and licorice. 'Dolce and elegante,' Roberto cooed. It was incredibly classic by Barolo standards with its tar, smoke, leather and asphalt and indubitably a beautiful wine, fine and smooth. The elegance and finesse to its style and length were intoxicating. I have to agree with Roberto that 1993, at least for Monfortino, is an outstanding vintage."(95pts JK)1 bottle per lot $320-450

From its saturated opaque black/purple color, to its extraordinarily intense jammy blackberry/cassis liqueur-scented nose, this is a fabulous claret. Expansive and full-bodied, with exhilarating levels of extract, an opulent, unctuously-textured feel, extremely low acidity, and a 40+ second finish, this is a prodigious effort. While not quite as well-defined as the 1996, and perhaps slightly less concentrated (I'm splitting hairs here), this medium to full-bodied, showy, unbelievably dense and rich wine is another tour de force in winemaking.

The saturated black/blue/purple-colored 1999 exhibits unreal levels of concentration, high tannin, astonishing flavor extraction, and uncanny balance and precision for a wine of such proportions.

I was wrong, it deserved the place of honor. Monstrous amounts of spices imbued with blackberries are found in its powerful aromatics. It is full-bodied, revealing a massive breadth, a liqueur of syrupy cassis and blackberries that linger seemingly forever in the mouth. Its broad shoulders, perfect ripeness, and fabulous density of fruit must be experienced to be believed.

1963 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 1997L. Jadot(Wines Located in New York)"Excellent red-ruby color. Superripe, briary aromas of raspberry, mocha, chocolate and brown spices; verging on roasted. Then thick and sweet, with explosive, sappy raspberry and chocolate flavors and great middle-palate volume. An utterly seamless wine that finishes with smooth tannins, excellent vinosity and terrific persistence. A great showing. "Some growers picked too early and others too late.

1964 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2006L.

Hugely thick, sappy and sweet, with outstanding volume and breadth. Wonderfully dense flavors of raspberry, menthol, five-spice powder and underbrush. Finishes with broad, noble tannins and unflagging persistence. This captures the essence of the 2003 vintage, and is showing spectacularly today.

2012 Clos de la Roche - Vintage 2006Vieilles Vignes, Ponsot(Wines Located in New York)"Sweetly ripe black fruits in the nose of the Ponsot 2006 Clos de La Roche cuvée Vieilles Vignes prepare the way for a more succulently, generously sweet fruit, plush texture, and generally sunny disposition than that presented by the corresponding Clos St.-Denis. Ripe cherry and red currant flood the creamy, silken palate with sweetness, while some of the same notes of citrus oil, floral perfume (here iris), and peat as exhibited in the Clos St.-Denis swirl about, too. Saline, chalky suggestions help offer contrast and a sounding board to the fruit, and this finishes with exhilarating lift, riveting interplay, and phenomenal length. In an extreme instance of a phenomenon shared by many of the best 2006s, I find this irresistible now; find it hard to imagine its having ornery or sulking phases; yet expect it will be worth following for 20 years."(97pts)1 bottle per lot $280-320

As appealing as this appears at present there is a very firm lashing of supporting tannins that provide shape and detail to the gorgeously persistent finish.

I vastly under-rated this estate's 2000 Corton-Charlemagne in my barrel assessment a year ago (originally scored 88-90). The finest wine I've ever tasted from this famed domaine, it reveals a rich nose of ripe pears, buttered hazelnuts, and minerals. Medium-bodied, lush, intense, and satin-textured, it has exceptional balance, refinement, and a stupendously long finish. While it is not the most powerful Corton-Charlemagne, it has superb focus, detail, and seamlessness. Toast, spices, pears, and ripe apples can be found throughout its complex character. If this wine continues to improve in the bottle as it did in the final months of elevage, it will be completely mind-boggling."(94pts)5 bottles per lot $550-600

2027 Corton Charlemagne - Vintage 2006Bonneau du Martray(Wines Located in New York)"...a complex, ripe and elegant mix of green apple, spice and minerality that complements perfectly the round, rich, detailed and stony flavors that possess ample mid-palate fat and superb depth of material, all wrapped in a gorgeously long and drenching finish.

While not as big or complex as the Montrachet, it does offer a touch more minerality and finesse.

2230 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994

(Wines Located in New York)"It is another profound Cabernet from the exceptional 1994 vintage. The wine's opaque purple color and huge, massive richness do not come across as heavy, despite the wine's extraordinary intensity and thickness. There is enough acidity for freshness, and plenty of sweet, well-integrated tannin. This large-scaled, magnificently-endowed Cabernet Sauvignon needs 5-6 years of cellaring, but it should keep for 25+ years."(95pts)2 bottles per lot $350-400

2233 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

Still, this is an elegant, relatively refined young Clos de Vougeot with plenty of character."(92pts BH)6 bottles per lot $600-800

It is the most backward and tannic of all the Faiveley 1988s, and has a dense ruby/purple color, a sensational bouquet of raspberries that reminded me more of Côte R0tie than Burgundy, fabulous length and richness, good acidity, and an elevated level of tannins in the finish."(91pts)2 bottles per lot $180-220

This seduces on the front end and then delivers a tidal wave of a finish. There isn't much nuance yet but I suspect this will develop plenty of complexity as it ages."(92pts BH)1 bottle per lot $180-240

2336 Charmes Chambertin - Vintage 2001cuvée de Tres Vieilles Vignes, J. Roty(Wines Located in New York)"As big as a Chambertin with the intensity and sheer flavor authority to match. Sumptuously, even lavishly oaked yet it carries its oak as though it were nothing and there is no doubt that this will absorb the wood completely as there is a mind boggling amount of mid-palate sap and punch and it completely coats the mouth and the persistence is exemplary. The structure is completely buried beneath all the sap and while this should be approachable after a decade, it will drink well for another two. Another great Roty Charmes in a very long line of them. If you can find a few bottles, don't miss them. In short, this is very classy juice."(94pts BH)2 bottles per lot $550-700

Great purity and class in the middle palate, though extremely young and not currently showing the texture of the unfinished '99. But this is utterly compelling syrah, finishing with superb length and extremely fine tannins for the vintage.

2535 Arnot-Roberts Chardonnay - Vintage 2013Trout Gultch Vineyard(Wines Located in New York)"There is a lot to like in these new releases from Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts. The 2013 Chardonnays capture all of the energy and precision of the vintage. Another brilliant wine, the 2013 Chardonnay Trout Gulch bristles with energy and tension. The flavors are bright, precise and chiseled throughout. Lemon zest, lime, jasmine and crushed rocks literally jump from the glass in a crystalline, precise Chardonnay that dazzles from the very first taste. Arnot-Roberts' Trout Gulch is one of the most compelling Chardonnays being made in the United States. It's as simple as that."(97pts AG)6 bottles per lot $220-260

2540 Arietta Red - Vintage 19973nl (Wines Located in New York)"In 1997, production was about 450 cases. Beethoven was blaring from speakers situated throughout the winery as I tasted this wine. Kongsgaard says the Arietta may have a Beethoven label, but it is Wagnerian in style. A blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. Aromatic, with scents of black currants, cherries, flowers, leather, and spice, the stunningly rich, full-bodied Arietta displays both power and elegance. Its sweet tannin, finesse, and suppleness argue for near-term consumption, but it possesses the length and inner depth to last for 15 or more years."(91pts)6 bottles per lot $240-320

To be sure, this is very impressive in it sheer size and weight yet it is borderline too ripe for my taste and lacks a bit of energy.

2895 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2006Clos des Papes, P. Avril(Wines Located in New York)"...is one of the two or three candidates for the wine of the vintage. An extraordinarily great wine, the 2006 is far superior to the 2005, which was amazing, and while made in a different style, is as great as the 2003, and such legends as 1990 and 1978. Fashioned from a minuscule 21 hectoliters per hectare, and tipping the scales at 15.2% natural alcohol, the 2006 boasts a dense ruby/purple color to the rim, in addition to an extraordinary bouquet of melted licorice, spring flowers, raspberries, black currants, spice box, and earth.

Still slightly restrained because of its recent bottling, but wow, what potential complexity, mind-boggling richness, and compelling flavor profile are apparent. It is a sublime expression of the art of winemaking as evidenced by its dense purple color and big, sweet kiss of kirsch, framboise, blackberries, licorice, roasted herbs, and smoked meat.

Half of the wine is aged in neutral wood foudres and the other half in tank prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. The sources for Mon Aieul are three vineyard parcels with vines averaging between 75 and 87 years of age.

After tasting this wine on five separate occasions, I can state with certainty, it has the most saturated color of any Mon Aieul produced to date. Moreover, its perfume of blueberry liqueur, black raspberries, licorice, roasted meat juices, and lavender is incredible.

There are even hints of roasted meats, smoked herbs, and underbrush as well as truffles. The wine has superb concentration, remarkable intensity, full-bodied flavors, sweetness, opulence, and a multi-layered palate and finish that literally have to be tasted to be believed a modern-day monument to Châteauneuf- du-Pape, and the glories of the old vines of this appellation."(99pts)4 bottles per lot $700-1000

This is the first vintage in which 100% of the fermentations were indigenous, and, fortunately, all their Sonoma Coast vineyards were far enough south that they were not tainted by any of the smoke from the ferocious fires that spread through Mendocino.

3021 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Madrona Ranch(Wines Located in New York)"While I am not surprised that the 2001 Thorevilos turned out to be perfect, the 2001 Madrona Ranch was more of an eye-opener in that it has become even more extraordinary than I predicted eight years ago. A prodigious wine, with complex notes of subtle barbecue smoke intermixed with blueberry pie, black currant liqueur, acacia flowers, lead pencil shavings, and sweet foresty floor notes, this wine builds incrementally with layer upon layer of fruit, glycerin and concentration. The finish goes well past a minute, and the wine is full-bodied and deep, with wonderfully sweet tannin. It is still an adolescent in terms of its total evolution, but it is irresistible simply because of the flawless nature of the wine and incredible perfume and flavor intensity. Simply amazing! Both of these wines are adolescents, and probably won't peak for another 5-8 years and keep for 30-40."(100pts)4 bottles per lot $1400-1800

lwrl (Wines Located in New York)"The 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve is a full-bodied, explosively rich, deep purple-colored wine bursting with ripe fruit. It displays smoky oak, gobs of cassis, a touch of cigar box and cedar, and a layered, multi-dimensional feel. This voluptuous, seductive offering is already drinking well, yet should age effortlessly for 15-20 years."(93pts)1 bottle per lot $60-80

3029 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1995lscl (Wines Located in New York)"The full-bodied, opaque purple-colored 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a sweet fragrance of jammy cassis and wild blueberries, intertwined with floral and mineral scents. The effect of the 100% new Taransaud French oak barrels is minimal given the fact that only a background note of toast/pain grillee is noticeable. On the palate, the wine is extraordinarily dense and rich, but neither heavy nor flabby. With its remarkable purity, delineation, and layers of rich, concentrated fruit, this appears to be one of the superstars of the 1995 vintage."(99pts)1 bottle per lot $300-400

currant flavors, and subtle notes of toasty oak. Expressive aromatically (black fruits galore) and full-bodied, it possesses the vintage's tell-tale silkiness and depth.

This wine shares some of the chocolatey characteristics of the two Merlot vintages, but there is more cassis liqueur, blackberries, blueberries, and pain grille (toast) notes in this lavishly rich, flamboyant proprietary red. The wine's flavors lingered for 42 seconds on the palate. Full-bodied, marvelously concentrated, and extremely well-balanced, this wine's acidity, tannin, and high alcohol are completely buried beneath the complex fruit and extract of this profound offering.
