Chateau Ausone 1999 

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (A) 

“Is the 1999 Ausone the wine of the vintage Dense purple color, a 

compelling bouquet of licorice, minerals, black and blueberry liqueur, 

extraordinary delineation, high tannin, superb extract, and phenomenal 

richness all are the stuff of a legend. This wine seems impossible 

to have emerged from a vintage like 1999. Proprietor Alain Vauthier 

produced only 20,000 bottles because he eliminated one-fourth of the 

tiny crop. The result is out-and-out fabulous, but the wine needs 12-15 

years of cellaring.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 04/02

Chateau Duhart Milon 2008 

Pauillac, 4eme Cru Classe 

“A magnificent sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 Duhart Milon is the 

shrewd consumer’s wine to purchase by the case as prices do not 

yet reflect its qualitative resurgence. Composed of 73% Cabernet 

Sauvignon and 27% Merlot that came in at 13.09% alcohol, it is a 

surprisingly intense effort displaying a marvelous texture, plenty of black 

currant, licorice, unsmoked cigar tobacco and earthy characteristics, a 

full-bodied mouthfeel and stunning purity as well as density.” R. Parker,

“A sensational effort, the 2006 Mouton Rothschild exhibits an opaque 

purple color as well as a classic Mouton perfume of creme de cassis, 

flowers, blueberries, and only a hint of oak. Dalhuin told me that in 

whisky barrel-tasting vintages such as 1989 and 1990, Mouton was 

aged in heavily-toasted barrels, and they have backed off to a much 

lighter toast for the barrels’ interior. I think this has worked fabulously 

well with the cassis quality fruit they get from their Cabernet Sauvignon. 

The full-bodied, powerful 2006 possesses extraordinary purity and 

clarity. A large-scaled, massive Mouton Rothschild that ranks as 

one of the top four or five wines of the vintage, it may turn out to 

be the longest-lived wine of the vintage by a landslide. The label will 

undoubtedly be controversial as a relative of Sigmund Freud, Lucian 

Freud, has painted a rather comical Zebra staring aimlessly at what 

appears to be a palm tree in the middle of a stark courtyard. I suppose 

a psychiatrist could figure out the relationship between that artwork and 

wine, but I couldn’t see one. This utterly profound Mouton will need to 

sleep for 15+ years before it will reveal any secondary nuances, but it is 

a packed and stacked first-growth Pauillac of enormous potential.” R. 

Parker, 98+ pts. 02/09

Doisy Daene L’Extravagant 2001 

“There is only a tiny amount of the light gold/green-colored 2001 Doisy- 

Daene l’Extravagant (primarily Sauvignon Blanc). As the name suggests, 

it is extravagantly rich as well as very full-bodied with extraordinary 

purity and intensity. The finish lasts for over a minute. There are loads 

of botrytis in addition to caramelized tropical fruits, zesty acidity, and 

striking clarity of expression.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 06/04

G. Conterno Barolo Monfortino Riserva 2001 

Piedmont 

“The 2001 Barolo Riserva Monfortino flows from the glass with stunning 

depth and purity. This seamless, elegant Barolo caresses the palate 

with incredible persistence as layers of aromas and flavors develop in 

the glass. Stylistically it is very much like the 2001 Cascina Francia, only 

with more intensity, depth and sheer volume. Monfortino has always 

had power to spare, but in 2001 it is also incredibly elegant, something 

that previous vintages have only acquired with significant bottle age. 

This is a towering, majestic Monfortino that will rightfully take its place 

among the very finest Monfortinos ever made.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 10/08

Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 

Columbia Valley 

“The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 3% Merlot. The principal 

component comes from the Champoux Vineyard (in which the winery 

is a partner) with contributions from the Klipsun and Taptiel Vineyards, 

outstanding in their own right. It, too, was aged for 22 months in 100% 

new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume 

of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black 

currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating, the layers of complex 

flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional 

cellaring. The oak, tannin, and acidity are beautifully integrated and 

the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute. Purchasers no doubt will 

want to try a bottle immediately but this towering effort will not reach its 

peak until 2015 at the earliest and provide pleasure through 2040. I say 

this with confidence because a 1983 Quilceda Creek Cabernet tasted 

in May 2008 is at its peak now and should carry on for another 10-15 

years.” J. Miller for R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/08

“Perhaps the most beautiful packaging ever on a Bordeaux bottle, 

Baroness Philippine de Rothschild literally produced a work of art in 

the gold-engraved bottle of 2000 Mouton Rothschild. Of course, one 

can’t drink the glass, but this is a top-flight Mouton Rothschild, eclipsed 

only by the 2006 and 2009. A rich, tannic, earthy style, with loads 

of creme de cassis and floral notes, the final blend of 86% Cabernet 

Sauvignon and 14% Merlot is a full-bodied wine with plenty of coffee, 

earth, chocolatey notes, and still plenty of tannin to resolve. I gave it an 

anticipated maturity range of 2015-2050 back in 2003, and that looks 

on target.” R. Parker, 96+ pts. 06/10

Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 1990 


u: all into neck, staining to one label 

“Along with the 1982, 2000, and 2005, the 1990 is one of those 

monumental Grand Puy Lacostes that you can’t have enough of. Still 

inky/blue/purple-colored to the rim, it boasts a gorgeously sweet, 

pure nose of creme de cassis, spring flowers, and a hint of wet rocks. 

The wine is full-bodied, plush, and expansive with impressive levels 

of glycerin and purity as well as an endearing texture. This 1990 is 

evolving at a glacial pace, but the sweetness of the tannins and low 

acidity ensure a delicious treat whenever a bottle is opened.” R. Parker,

Chateau La Conseillante 1989 

Pomerol 

u: all into neck 

“Somewhat similar to the 1990, but slightly more structured, with more 

noticeable tannin and a meatier style, this is still a very perfumed, 

exotic, expansive, sensationally concentrated wine that should age 

effortlessly for another 10-15 years. In that sense, it might actually 

outlast the 1990, but what a pair these two wines make. The wine has 

a dark garnet/ruby color and fabulous aromatics of black raspberries, 

kirsch, licorice, and copious amounts of toasted new oak. Relatively 

full-bodied for a La Conseillante, with great purity, sweet tannin, but 

noticeable structure and muscle, this is a relatively large-scaled La 

Conseillante that has always been one of the top wines of the vintage.”

“The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but what a 

great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of the pyramid 

although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent 

vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching 

the 1989’s extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential. 

Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the 

stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle 

smoke, oak and graphite. Powerful and rich with some tannins still to 

shed at age 22, it is still a young adolescent in terms of its evolution 

and will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring. It should prove to be 

a 50 year wine.” R. Parker, 99+ pts. 08/11

Diamond Creek Vineyards was one of the first “cult” wineries in 

California. Founder Al Brounstein began the winery in 1968 and 

grabbed acclaim after just a very short tenure. From a gorgeous site— 

there are informal gardens woven along and through the vineyards—a 

tiny morsel of three vineyard designated wines are produced. Under 

extremely rare circumstances, a fourth bottling, “The Lake” is added to 

the menu. –PhM

Wonderful Bordeaux from a Cape cellar. From a climate-controlled 

cellar, picked up by Skinner staff. 

Cheval Blanc doesn’t scream out for attention, rather it is passionately 

pursued by a knowing few. Unquestionably worthy of “First Growth” 

stature. In keeping with the Right Bank scene, the beautiful park-like 

setting feels surprisingly casual. Formal to a point, but not overly so. 

Cheval Blanc is comprised of cabernet franc and merlot. The vinous

Pichon Longueville - The visually stunning Pichon Longueville could 

serve as the post-card-image one conjures up when imaging a 

chateau in France. A Second Growth for certain, but given Pichon’s 

lofty neighbors, their competitive juices must be constantly flowing. 

An intriguing aspect with many these older, established estates is 

how rigorously they embrace modernity – one could be forgiven for 

erroneously assuming that time has stopped inside the front door. In 

Pichon’s case, it was the first property to attain the ISO 14001 standard 

in the entire Bordeaux region! -PhM

Carriere. This French-styled offering is made from a vineyard planted 

in soils filled with white volcanic ash, and is aged completely in Louis 

Latour barrels. It possesses an exquisite liquid minerality as well as 

gorgeous aromas of citrus oils intermixed with such exotic tropical fruits 

as guava and passion fruit. Full-bodied, with dazzling palate penetration, 

fine balance, and an extraordinary, layered, multidimensional feel, this 

is one of the single greatest Chardonnays I have recently tasted. It is a 

brilliant blend of French finesse with California power that should drink

“The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Bello (80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 

11% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot that reached 13.4% alcohol) 

represents a severe selection of only 40% of the vineyard’s crop. 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. This is a terrific Monte Bello that will 

have 30+ years of life.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 12/98

Petrus - In the renowned village of Pomerol, pack-leader Chateau 

Petrus is unassumingly modest. Close by the road, lacking some 

formal alley, it is easy to overlook when contrasted with some 

architecturally grander neighbors. The robin’s-egg-blue shutters 

against the limestone creates a hushed and dignified exterior to the 

chai. Of course the hedonistic treasures crafted within are anything 

but reserved… On average, only about 4,000 cases are made each 

vintage. -PhM

“An estate only needs to produce a handful of wines such as the 1961 

Petrus to garner an international following. Not surprisingly, the 1961 

Petrus was pure perfection. This fully mature wine possesses a port-like 

richness (reminiscent of the 1947 Petrus and 1947 Cheval Blanc). The 

color revealed considerable amber and garnet, but the wine is crammed 

with viscous, thick, over-ripe black-cherry, mocha-tinged fruit flavors. 

Extremely full-bodied, with huge amounts of glycerin and alcohol, this 

unctuously-textured, thick wine makes for an awesome mouthful.

caresses the palate with layers and layers of glycerin and fruit. The 

tannin is barely noticeable in this massive, rich, gorgeous effort. The

close to full maturity, and is capable of lasting another 20-25 years.” R.

fruit supported by high levels of tannin and some lusty quantities of

“The prodigious 2007 Harlan Estate reminds me of a hypothetical 

blend of the 2002 with a touch of the controversial 1997. Dense plum/ 

purple-colored with sweet aromas of barbecue smoke, blueberries, 

blackberries, cassis, licorice, hot rocks and subtle oak, it is a splendidly 

opulent, pure wine with a skyscraper-like texture as well as stunningly 

deep fruit that expands gracefully across the palate. The finish lasts 

nearly a full minute. Because of its overwhelming richness and sweet 

tannins, this brilliant wine seems to be approachable now, but I 

suspect further nuances and complexity will emerge after 4-5 years 

in the bottle. This wine will still be going strong at age 25-30. Like the 

offerings from its sister estate, Bond, these Harlan Estate offerings are 

uncompromisingly brilliant examples of Napa viticulture and winemaking 

at its finest. Kudos to proprietor Bill Harlan.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 12/10

“This is a denser version of the 1990 that stylistically reminds me of 

what the young 1959 probably tasted like. Still backward with a deep 

ruby/plum color revealing only a touch of lightening at the edge, the 

wine offers up an extraordinary nose of caramelized herbs, smoke, 

cedar, pen ink, black currants, and earth. The gorgeous aromatics are 

followed by a full-bodied, plump, rich, fleshy wine with low acidity. With 

6-8 hours decanting in a closed decanter, it will offer beautiful drinking, 

but it needs another 5-8 years to reach full maturity. It is capable of 

lasting 50-60 years. This classic Lafite is not as fat and concentrated as 

the 1982 Latour, nor as complex or concentrated as the 1982 Mouton 

Rothschild, but it is a winner all the same.” R. Parker, 97+ pts. 06/09

“A consistent 100-point wine (only because my point scale stops at that 

number), the 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is truly one of the immortal wines 

of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its remarkably 

exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, coffee, tobacco, mocha, 

and Asian spices. It is an extraordinarily dense, opulent, and rich wine, 

with layers of creamy fruit, behaving more like a 1947 Pomerol than 

a structured, powerful, and tannic 1945. The wine finishes with a 60+ 

second display of ripe fruit, extract, and sweet tannin. This remarkably 

youthful wine (only light amber at the edge) is mindboggling! Will it last 

another 50 years” R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/98

“This wine remains one of the legends of Bordeaux. It has thrown off 

the backward, youthful style that existed during its first 25 years of life, 

and over the last 4-5 years has developed such secondary nuances 

as cedar and spice box. The creme de cassis, underlying floral note, 

full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multilayered texture, and finish 

of over a minute are a showcase for what this Chateau accomplished 

in 1982. The wine is still amazingly youthful, vibrant, and pure. It 

appears capable of remaining fruity and vibrant in 2082! Thank God it is 

beginning to budge, as I would like to drink most of my supply before 

I kick the bucket. This is a great, still youthful wine, and, on occasion, 

one does understand the hierarchy of Bordeaux chateaux when you

otherworldly 2003. Saturated purple to the rim, with an extraordinary 

nose of incense, fruitcake, blackberry and black cherry notes with 

some subtle roasted herbs, roast beef, smoke, and licorice, massive 

fruit concentration, extraordinary intensity, unreal purity and harmony, 

and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this is a 

tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the most compelling 

Chateauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted. The length goes on well 

past a minute, and the wine should age effortlessly for 25-30+ years. 

The tannins are formidable according to consulting oenologist Philippe 

Cambie, but they are nearly obscured by the wine’s remarkable 

concentration and intensity. This is a riveting wine.” R. Parker, 100 pts.

black currants, the latter component being so intense and lingering 

that it makes this cuvee stand apart from other Napa Valley wines. 

Full-bodied in the mouth, like a ballerina on her toes, this wine glides 

gracefully across the palate with a cascade of purity, equilibrium and 

compelling complexity. Extraordinary balance and elegance combined 

with power make for an utterly stunning wine that should drink well for 

two decades or more. Even though the estate is being reconstituted

Aromas of Asian spices, lavender, incense, truffle, and comfiture of

nevertheless has the balance and structure to continue evolving for

“The 2003 Ausone is off the charts in terms of richness. While I gave 

a 3-digit score to the 2000, I think this profoundly concentrated wine 

may be even more sublime and exotic. Its inky/blue/purple color 

is followed by an extraordinary perfume of flowers, crushed rocks, 

sweet raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and God knows what 

else. The impression is one of extraordinary richness and purity, and a 

multilayered texture yet a surreal lightness as well as laser-like precision. 

This exquisite offering must be tasted to be believed. Incredibly young, 

it will undoubtedly close down over the next few years, re-emerging

special is its precision, focus, and almost ethereal lightness despite 

substantial flavor intensity and depth. It is a ballerina with density and

chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, truffle, barbecue smoke, and graphite. 

Dense, rich, and full-bodied, with an opulence and succulence that are

fruits intermixed with spring flowers, a subtle dosage of new oak, and 

a distinctive personality that is elegant while at the same time powerful 

and substantial, this is a multi-dimensional wine that was extremely 

approachable and drinkable in both tastings I had of it. The color 

remains a healthy, even opaque bluish/purple, but there is no reason to 

hesitate to drink it. It should evolve for another 30-40 years, so there is 

no hurry either.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10

Chateau Pape Clement 2005 


“Probably the greatest Pape-Clement ever made, the dense purplecolored 

2005 (a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon) 

exhibits sumptuous notes of smoky scorched earth, graphite, melted 

licorice, and blackberries. Once past the exquisite perfume, the wine 

reveals full body, extraordinary concentration, plenty of chocolate, 

smoke, cassis, and blackberry flavors, and that unmistakable volcanic 

ash-like earthiness that comes from this appellation. The tannins are 

slightly sweeter than those found in most northern Medocs, but this is 

still a backward, large-scaled effort that requires 7-8 years of cellaring. It 

should last for 30-35 years.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 04/08

“There are 10,000 cases of this perfect sweet white Bordeaux. The 

2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold color. While 

somewhat reticent aromatically, with airing, it offers up honeyed tropical 

fruit, orange marmalade, pineapple, sweet creme brulee, and buttered 

nut-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied with gorgeously refreshing 

acidity as well as massive concentration and unctuosity. Everything 

is uplifted and given laser-like focus by refreshing acidity. This largescaled, 

youthful Yquem appears set to take its place among the most 

legendary vintages of the past, and will age effortlessly for 75+ years.”

Chateau Pavie 2000 

St. Emilion 

“I tasted this wine twice during the 2000 horizontals, then I actually 

popped the cork and drank a half-bottle of it. This wine remains, 

for me, one of the compelling success stories for proprietor Gerard 

Perse. An extraordinary effort made from a blend of 60% Merlot, 30% 

Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from the limestone 

soils that dominate this very distinctive terroir, the 2000 Pavie has 

moved out of the closed, dormant, broodingly backward stage into an 

adolescent period where one can see its extraordinary vibrancy, and 

great complexity as well as potential. It boasts an unctuous display of 

rich, cedar box-infused cassis fruit and liquid minerality. The tannins 

have sweetened, yet the wine has thirty years of longevity and potential 

evolution. A beautiful wine of great mass as well as elegance, it is good 

to see the extraordinary efforts that Gerard Perse and his team have 

made confirmed in this prodigious wine. A legend now...a legend for the 

future.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10

“This is a big step up in power and weight with a gorgeously complex 

nose of minerals, white flowers and that wonderful crushed oyster 

shell and iodine component followed by pure, muscular, fantastically 

detailed and precise flavors that coat the palate with buckets of sappy 

extract. This is quite concentrated and powerful yet there is a real sense 

of grace and class that separates this from all of the prior wines. The 

finish builds and builds until it finally explodes on the superbly long back 

end with a sense of crystalline minerality yet all the while this remains 

a wine built more along the lines of finesse rather than the power of 

the Les Clos though it must be said that the ‘02 Preuses is hardly shy. 

This is one of those really rare wines where all you can say is ‘WOW.’”

“This is usually a very fine but rarely profound example of the appellation 

but in 2005 it absolutely leaves in the dust its usual quality level and it 

was without question the biggest, and best, surprise of my visit chez 

Drouhin. A touch of wood toast frames the elegant, pure, intense and 

gorgeously spicy black pinot fruit that complements perfectly the big, 

robust, sweet and large-scaled flavors that are underpinned by very 

firm buried tannins and sensational length. Like the Griotte, this has that 

that ‘wow’ factor and then some. Quite simply put, this is reference 

standard juice in 2005. Don’t miss it and it is a wine that I will be putting 

in my cellar.” Burghound, 96 pts. 04/01/07

superb power and striking depth of material on the unbelievably long

“A spicy, ripe and pure nose of floral red pinot fruit and rose petals 

possesses nuances of menthol, earth and a slight whiff of the sauvage 

that can also be found on the rich, serious and powerful big-bodied 

flavors that are sleekly muscled and very firmly structured yet they 

remain balanced, cool and harmonious on the monumentally long finish. 

This seems less structured than it really is as the abundant sap renders 

them less prominent if not invisible. While 15 to 20 years should see 

this at its apogee, this will still be alive and well at 50 years of age.”

Ponsot Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes 2005 

Cote de Nuits 

“All the superb and dramatic complexity that this displayed from barrel 

has made it into bottle as an extremely ripe and fantastically broad 

nose soars from the glass, merging seamlessly into dense, pure rich 

and powerful flavors that are opulent, sweet and dripping with so much 

extract and sap that the combination stains and saturates the palate 

on the hugely proportioned yet impeccably balanced finish that is so 

long that it doesn’t seem possible. Given how many reference standard 

vintages Domaine Ponsot has produced of the Clos de la Roche over 

the years, it would be presumptuous to anoint this as the best ever but 

if it isn’t, it will certainly take its rightful place among the very greatest. 

In sum, a ‘wow’ wine that makes you shake your head in sheer 

amazement. However be aware that this is a buy and forget wine as it 

will require at least 15 years to shed its considerable tannins and it will 

see 50 years without difficulty.” Burghound, 99 pts. 01/01/08

concentration and a personality not terribly dissimilar from a first-growth 

Pauillac, but showing no evidence of oak whatsoever (and that is in 

spite of being aged in 100% new oak casks), this wine needs 10-12 

years of bottle age, and should keep for 50-100 years.” R. Parker, 96

Chapoutier Ermitage Le Pavillon 1995 


“The 1995 Ermitage Le Pavillon is magnificent. The wine is more 

accessible than the 1996 (due to lower acidity and more immediately 

accessible glycerin and fruit), with a magnificent black/purple color, and 

layers of cassis fruit, smoky, roasted meat, and mineral characteristics 

that are the result of barrel fermentation and high extraction of fruit. It 

is huge, but not heavy, gorgeously proportioned, and dazzlingly welldefined. 

A monster Hermitage of immense proportions, it somehow 

manages to keep everything in balance. This backward Pavillon will 

require 10-12 years of cellaring. It should age well through the first half 

of the next century.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 10/97

“One of the top wines of the vintage is Domaine du Caillou’s 2005 

Chateauneuf du Pape Le Clos du Caillou Reserve. Its dense ruby/purple 

hue is followed by elegant aromatics of blueberries, blackberries, spring 

flowers, licorice, and roasted meats. Dense and full-bodied with intense

should be at its finest between 2011-2025.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 10/07

extraordinary honeyed licorice, quince, marmalade, and truffle notes, an 

unctuous texture, great purity and richness, and a profound mouthfeel

“Since 1996, their Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois 

has been one of the stars of the vintage. The 2005 Chateauneuf 

du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois boasts a dense purple color, 

a full-bodied, opulent style, moderately high tannin, sensational 

concentration, and abundant aromas and flavors of spring flowers, 

blueberries, blackberries, cherries, and spice. It is a meaty, fleshy, 

tannic effort that brings to mind the 1998. A brilliant wine for the 

vintage, it should be exceptionally long lived.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 10/07

Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee 2003 


“The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee stands out as one of 

the all-time great wines made by Laurence Feraud and her father, Paul. 

I remember first tasting it from a large tank as it was still fermenting 

and it was already impressive! It is a full-bodied, powerful wine that 

must tip the scales at close to 15.5% natural alcohol. I don’t think 

this big, chewy, voluptuously textured wine will ever close down. Dark 

plum/garnet with the classic Provencal display of garrigue, lavender, 

pepper, kirsch and Asian plum sauce, this full-throttle wine has splendid 

concentration, silky tannins, and a very voluptuous texture. It should 

continue to drink well for another 25 years.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 10/08

Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo 2003 


“For the fourth time, the Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo has 

been produced, and for the fourth time, it has received a perfect 

score although I might back off the 2000’s perfect score based on 

the fact that it seems to be more of an upper-ninety point wine than 

pure perfection these days. The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee 

da Capo has distanced itself ever so slightly from the 2003 Cuvee 

Reservee. Before bottling and immediately after bottling, these two 

wines’ differences were not as evident. At present the Capo reveals 

that extra level of flavor, power, complexity and richness. It is a big wine 

(16.1% alcohol – less than in the 1998, but more than in the 2000 and 

2007) boasting a dark plum/garnet color as well as a stunning bouquet 

of aged beef intermixed with pepper, herbes de Provence, and steak 

au poivre. This unctuously textured, full-bodied Chateauneuf possesses 

enormous body, huge flavors and sweet, velvety tannins. Still youthful, 

it has not yet begun to close down, and I’m not sure it ever will given 

this unusual vintage. It is a modern day classic that should continue to 

provide provocative as well as compelling drinking for 20-30+ years.”

Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina 2005 


“The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina is utter perfection 

in the glass—an awesome wine both comparable to and eclipsing the 

otherworldly 2003. Saturated purple to the rim, with an extraordinary 

nose of incense, fruitcake, blackberry and black cherry notes with 

some subtle roasted herbs, roast beef, smoke, and licorice, massive 

fruit concentration, extraordinary intensity, unreal purity and harmony, 

and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this is a 

tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the most compelling 

Chateauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted. The length goes on well 

past a minute, and the wine should age effortlessly for 25-30+ years. 

The tannins are formidable according to consulting oenologist Philippe 

Cambie, but they are nearly obscured by the wine’s remarkable 

concentration and intensity. This is a riveting wine.” J. Miller for R.

“There are 1,800 cases of the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du 

Mon Aieul (100% tank-aged Grenache). It represents an awesome 

naked/virginal expression of Grenache from three vineyard parcels 

planted in sand, clay, and limestone soils. 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. Full-bodied power, a multilayered mouthfeel, 

tremendous purity, and awesome concentration put this wine in a class 

by itself. This sensational Chateauneuf du Pape is still very young, and 

3-4 years of cellaring is required. It should be a modern day legend and 

last for nearly two decades.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 10/09

from the glass with tar, smoke, earthiness black cherries and minerals. 

The wine possesses dazzling concentration and tons of richness, 

as waves of fruit coat the palate in stunning style. This big, dramatic 

Brunello needs time in bottle, but it is nothing short of magnificent 

today. The balance, and the integration of the French oak in particular, 

is brilliant. For those who are curious to try a bottle now, the wine 

should be opened a few hours in advance as the tannins are imposing 

at this stage. This is a rare Brunello of superb pedigree and complexity.”

“Believe it or not, the 2004 Termanthia is even better than the 

Numanthia. From an 11 acre plot, 2600 feet above sea level, planted 

with 100+-year-old ungrafted vines, the yields were well under 1 ton of 

fruit per acre. The wine was barrel fermented and received the “200% 

new oak” treatment over 20 months before being bottled unfined and 

unfiltered. Opaque purple-colored, the wine has an awesome nose 

which is already multi-faceted. There are elements of pain grille, lead 

pencil, mineral, violets, blueberry and blackberry with just a bit more 

subtlety and nuance than its two colleagues. On the palate the wine 

is an infant developmentally with densely packed ripe fruit, sensational 

balance, and a seamlessness that must be tasted to be believed. It 

should age like a great vintage of Lafite or Latour and have at least a 

50 year life span. If you have a soul, sell it to the devil for a few bottles

Vina Cobos Malbec Marchiori Vineyard 2006 

Argentina 

“According to Hobbs, 2006 was one of the great vintages of his 20 year 

career in Argentina. The near perfect 2006 Cobos Malbec Marchiori 

Vineyard is my favorite of this remarkable collection. A glass-coating, 

saturated opaque purple/black in color, the wine offers up a sexy/ 

kinky bouquet of pain grille, Asian spices, pencil lead, mineral, lavender, 

blueberry, and black cherry. On the palate there is layer upon layer of 

savory fruit, spice notes, espresso, and chocolate as well as exquisite 

balance. The wine’s finish lasts for more than a minute. Try a bottle, 

bury the rest in your cellar for ten years, and then drink them from 2018 

to 2040.” J. Miller for R. Parker, 99 pts. 12/08

Glaetzer Shiraz Amon Ra 2005 


“The profound 2005 Shiraz Amon Ra is fashioned from a dry grown, 

100- to 110 year-old vineyard, and spends 14 months in a combination 

of 100% new French and American barrels as well as 300-liter 

hogsheads. A saturated purple color is followed by scents of creme de 

cassis, incense, licorice, black raspberries, graphite, and sweet wood. 

It unfolds beautifully on the palate to reveal terrific richness, full-bodied 

power, great definition, and lovely elegance. This exquisite Shiraz is 

still young, but it possesses a degree of accessibility. It should age for 

two decades. It is a superb example of cutting edge winemaking being 

utilized on ancient Shiraz vines in the Barossa.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 10/06

Penfolds Grange 1998 


“A wine that flirts with perfection, and should rival the 1986 as one of 

the legendary Granges produced, the 1998 has one of the highest 

alcohol contents (nearly 15%) as well as one of the highest percentages 

of Shiraz in the blend (97%). Its stunning purple color is accompanied 

by exceptionally sweet aromas of blackberry liqueur intermixed 

with barbecue spices, an endearing, smoky earthiness, pepper, 

roasted meats, and coffee. Huge, massive, unctuously textured, 

and extraordinarily youthful, this impressive wine is a candidate for 

perfection. It should continue to evolve over the next three decades.” R.

a top-notch Clos de la Roche from a domaine such as Ponsot. Notes 

of fresh mushrooms, forest floor, plums, black cherries, raspberries, and 

hints of white chocolate and smoke jump form the glass of this fullbodied 

wine. Its extraordinary nuances, amazingly complex, rich, broad 

palate, and spectacular finish suggest it should drink well for well over a

“The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 3% Merlot and 1% Cabernet 

with the wine sourced from the Champoux, Klipsun, and Taptiel 

Vineyards. It was aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak. There 

are 3400 cases produced, most of it sold through the winery’s mailing 

list and the rest in a handful of markets. Opaque purple-colored, it 

delivers a remarkable array of aromas including pain grille, violets, pencil 

lead, truffle, Asian spices, black currant, and blueberry. This leads to 

a lustrous, layered, velvet-textured wine with gobs of spicy, ripe black 

fruits and beautifully integrated oak, tannin, and acidity. The long, pure 

finish goes on for well over a minute. It will evolve for a decade and 

drink well through 2045. I was able to retaste the 2001, 2002, and 

2003 vintages and can only say that Monsieur Rovani’s notes and 

scores are right on the bull’s-eye.” J. Miller for R. Parker, 99 pts. 08/07

“A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, this wine 

represents only 34% of Lafite’s total harvest. In a less than perfect 

Medoc vintage, it has been spectacular since birth, putting on more 

weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored 1998 

is close to perfection. The spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky, 

mineral, and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass. The 

wine is elegant yet profoundly rich, revealing the essence of Lafite’s 

character. The tannin is sweet, and the wine is spectacularly layered yet 

never heavy. The finish is sweet, super-rich, yet impeccably balanced 

and long (50+ seconds).” R. Parker, 98 pts. 04/01

“The 1996 Chateau Margaux, which was bottled in September, 

1998, is undoubtedly one of the great classics produced under the 

Mentzelopoulos regime. In many respects, it is the quintessential 

Chateau Margaux, as well as the paradigm for this estate, combining 

measured power, extraordinary elegance, and admirable complexity. I 

tasted the wine on three separate occasions in January, and in short, 

it’s a beauty! The color is opaque purple. The wine offers extraordinarily 

pure notes of blackberries, cassis, pain grille, and flowers, gorgeous 

sweetness, a seamless personality, and full body, with nothing out of 

place. The final blend (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the 

rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) contains a high percentage of 

Cabernet Sauvignon. It tastes complete and long, although backward. 

My instincts suggest this wine will shut down, but at present it is openknit, 

tasting like a recently bottled wine. The fruit is exceptionally sweet 

and pure, and there are layers of flavor in the mouth. I do believe this 

wine will develop an extraordinary perfume, and possess a high level of 

richness.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 04/99

Chateau La Tour Haut Brion 1982 


u: into neck 

“Today, the fruit from this vineyard has been incorporated into the 

second wine of La Mission-Haut-Brion, so I hope readers do not forget 

how great many vintages of La Tour-Haut-Brion were. The superb 1982 

ranks alongside their great 1949, 1955, 1959, 1961, and 1975. No wine 

since this 1982 ever achieved this level of quality. Its inky/purple hue is 

followed by classic aromas of scorched earth, plums, cassis, charcoal, 

and truffles, powerful, full-bodied flavors, superb concentration, and a 

boatload of tannin. The wine is so complex aromatically, and the attack 

is so impressive that I can’t resist drinking it. However, it should be 

even better in 5-8 years, and should last for another three decades.” R.

“A prodigious Petrus, this wine has that extra level of intensity and 

complexity that is monumental. The magic is clearly Petrus, and the 

2000 will always be an interesting vintage to compare to another legend 

in the making, the 1998, or more recently, of course, the 2005, 2008, 

and 2009. Extremely full-bodied, with great fruit purity, an unmistakable 

note of underbrush, black truffle, intense black cherries, licorice, and 

mulberry, the wine seems to show no evidence of oak whatsoever. It 

has a sumptuous, unctuous texture, plenty of tannin, but also vibrancy 

and brightness. This is a remarkable wine that seems slightly more 

structured and massive than the 1998, which comes across as slightly 

more seamless, as if it were haute couture.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10

Joseph Phelps Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 

Napa 

“Full-bodied, powerful, and rich, the deep purple-hued 2003 Cabernet 

Sauvignon Backus Vineyard boasts a rich, sumptuous bouquet of 

graphite, blueberries, truffles, and damp earth. With an almost inky 

intensity, it will benefit from another 2-3 years of bottle age, and should 

drink well for two decades or more.” R. Parker, 96 pts. 12/06 


$450-750 

549. 


Napa 

“The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus (96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 

the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec) is absolutely fabulous. The wine has 

a bluish purple color to the rim and an extraordinary nose of graphite, 

spring flowers, blackberries, cassis, and espresso roast. A savory, 

full-bodied, powerful wine with great fruit, low acidity, and abundant 

tannin, it cuts a broad swath across the palate. This is a classic Oakville 

Cabernet Sauvignon. It should drink well for at least 20 years.” R.

Napa 

“The dense 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard (93% Cabernet 

Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec) offers sweet creme 

de cassis aromas interwoven with scorched earth, espresso roast, and 

licorice. Full-bodied as well as elegant with sweet tannin, gorgeous 

purity, and admirable depth, this effort has developed beautifully since 

I tasted it last year. It appears to have 25 or more years of aging 

potential.” R. Parker, 94 pts. 12/08

Joseph Phelps Insignia 2004 

Napa 

“The 2004 Insignia (the first to be 100% from the estate vineyards) is 

a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 12% Petit Verdot, 

and the rest Malbec. I had this wine several times in Napa, and it is a 

beauty. A flashy, exuberant style for Phelps, with dense ruby/purple 

color, a gorgeous nose of creme de cassis, incense, licorice, smoke, 

and spice, the wine has supple tannins, a flamboyant, full-bodied 

mouthfeel, and tremendous length. Despite its precociousness and 

up-front style, this wine should evolve easily for 20 or more years. There 

are 10,000 cases of the 2004.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 12/07 


$450-600 

555. 


Napa 

“Since 2004, 100% of the Bordeaux varietals used in the Insignia 

proprietary blend have been from estate vineyards. The beautiful, 

dense ruby/purple-tinged 2005 Insignia (a 12,500-case blend of 92% 

Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot) possesses sweet 

aromas of black cherries, cassis, chocolate, camphor, and a subtle hint 

of roasted herbs. Medium to full-bodied and elegant, with a European 

style imposed on the rich, velvety, California fruit, this cuvee will benefit 

from several years of bottle age, and should easily keep for three 

decades.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 12/08 


$450-600 

556. 


Napa 

“The 2006 Insignia (95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot; 

16,000 cases produced) is a superb effort in this vintage. Another 30+ 

year wine, it boasts a dense plum/purple color as well as abundant 

notes of licorice, black currants, charcoal, black olives, and graphite. 

Full-bodied, pure, and rich with moderately high tannins, it represents a 

California version of a Bordeaux from Pauillac or St.-Julien.” R. Parker,

“The 1999 Lafite Rothschild sports an engraved “1999” on the bottle 

along with an eclipse to mark that significant historical event of 

August, 1999. It is a quintessential offering from Lafite Rothschild. This 

prodigious wine is both elegant and intensely flavored, and almost 

diaphanous in its layers that unfold with no heaviness. An opaque ruby/ 

purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil, 

graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is mediumbodied, 

with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish 

that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony. This extraordinary Lafite 

increasingly appears to be a modern day clone of the majestic 1953. 

A mere one-third of the crop made it into the grand vin!” R. Parker, 95

“A brilliant offering and a candidate for wine of the vintage, this is 

classic Lafite that reminded me somewhat of the 1976, although the 

vintage conditions were completely different. This is a medium-weight, 

quintessentially elegant style of Lafite with notes of lead pencil shavings/ 

graphite along with black currants, plums, and crushed rocks/mineral. 

Wonderfully pure, dense, with a deep ruby/purple color and loads 

of fruit, definition, and a long finish, this is a brilliant, elegant Lafite 

Rothschild that builds incrementally in the mouth and has more power 

and density than it initially seems.” R. Parker, 94 pts. 04/05

“I had this wine twice over a period of thirty days, rating it an astounding 

99 and 98 points. A monumental California Cabernet Sauvignon, it 

appears to have approached its plateau of maturity but should easily 

last for 20-25 more years. There is no rust, amber, or brown to the 

saturated dark purple color. The spectacular, huge, Mouton-Rothschildlike 

nose of mint, cassis, lead pencil, and toast is remarkably youthful. 

Staggeringly concentrated, this full-bodied, super-rich wine possesses 

moderate tannin, fresh, lively acidity, and a blockbuster, rich, fleshy

“The 2007 Syrah Cumulus Vineyard is a meaty, earthy effort 

representing a hypothetical blend of a northern Rhone with the 

exuberant, unabashedly ripe, juicy fruit of California. Jus de viande, 

damp earth, black currant, and blackberry notes along with good 

minerality and an absence of oak are all present in this full-bodied 

Syrah. It still has some tannins to resolve, but it is a big, full-bodied, 

classic, promising debut effort from the Cumulus Vineyard. It should 

drink well for at least a decade.” R. Parker, 96+ pts. 08/10

“The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 3% Merlot. The principal 

component comes from the Champoux Vineyard (in which the winery 

is a partner) with contributions from the Klipsun and Taptiel Vineyards, 

outstanding in their own right. It, too, was aged for 22 months in 100% 

new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume 

of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black 

currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating, the layers of complex 

flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional 

cellaring. The oak, tannin, and acidity are beautifully integrated and 

the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute. Purchasers no doubt will 

want to try a bottle immediately but this towering effort will not reach its 

peak until 2015 at the earliest and provide pleasure through 2040. I say 

this with confidence because a 1983 Quilceda Creek Cabernet tasted 

in May 2008 is at its peak now and should carry on for another 10-15 

years.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/08

glycerin, low acidity, and stunning purity, it is still several years away 

from full maturity, and should last for another 10-15 years.” R. Parker,

“I had this wine both in Seoul, Korea in February, and from my cellar 

in December, 2008, and it was remarkable how identical the wines 

smelled and tasted. It offers an extraordinary aromatic display of spring 

flowers, camphor, sweet red and black fruits, a hint of licorice, and no 

evidence of its 100% new oak cask aging. Round and generous with 

low acidity, but an opulent, full-bodied richness that is fresh with laserlike 

precision, this stunning wine is just beginning to reach its plateau 

of full maturity, where it should remain for another three decades. A 

sensational effort, it is one of the legendary wines made at Chateau 

Margaux.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/09

“1990: In terms of the brilliant complexity and nobility of the aromatics, 

scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices, 

the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled. It is always 

fascinating to taste this wine next to the 1989, which is a monumental 

effort, but much more backward and denser, without the aromatic 

complexity of the 1990. The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is 

currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion’s 

standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top 

vintage. While it has been fully mature for a number of years, it does not 

reveal any bricking at the edge, and I suspect it will stay at this level for 

another 10-15 years...but why wait It is irresistible now.” R. Parker, 98

La Mission lies just across the road from Haut Brion. The descendents 

of American banker Clarence Dillon now run both properties (previously 

owning just Haut Brion). Given this fact, there exists an inevitable 

fixation to contrast the properties. Still, the arrangement between them 

is not really one of sibling rivalry at all. What is striking is how these 

wine estates and adjacent vineyards exist so close to the city center of 

Bordeaux (4 miles). Mercifully the unusually deep gravel soils so ideal 

for viticulture were never paved over! –PhM

“This wine remains one of the legends of Bordeaux. It has thrown off 

the backward, youthful style that existed during its first 25 years of life, 

and over the last 4-5 years has developed such secondary nuances 

as cedar and spice box. The creme de cassis, underlying floral note, 

full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multilayered texture, and finish 

of over a minute are a showcase for what this Chateau accomplished 

in 1982. The wine is still amazingly youthful, vibrant, and pure. It 

appears capable of remaining fruity and vibrant in 2082! Thank God it is 

beginning to budge, as I would like to drink most of my supply before 

I kick the bucket. This is a great, still youthful wine, and, on occasion, 

one does understand the hierarchy of Bordeaux chateaux when you 

see the complexity and brilliance of this first-growth.” R. Parker, 100

“Both the 1989 and 1990 vintages exhibit opaque, dense purple colors 

that suggest massive wines of considerable extraction and richness. 

The dense, full-bodied 1989 is brilliantly made with huge, smoky, 

chocolatey, cassis aromas intermingled with scents of toasty oak. 

Well-layered, with a sweet inner-core of fruit, this awesomely endowed, 

backward, tannic, prodigious 1989 needs another 5-6 years of cellaring; 

it should last for three decades or more. It is unquestionably a great 

Pichon-Longueville-Baron.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 02/97

“This dark garnet-colored wine shows considerable amber at the 

edge. I have always had a tendency to taste this side by side with the 

1971, and it has been fascinating how the 1971 was fully mature at a 

much younger age yet continued to hold onto life without losing any of 

its seductive fruit and intensity. The 1970 started off life more tannic, 

backward, massive, but needing considerable time, and it has now hit 

full stride. It is a profound Petrus, and certainly one of the great Petrus’ 

of the last half century. The wine has a huge nose of cedar, caramel, 

vanilla, tobacco, fruitcake, and licorice-infused black cherry jam. It is 

unctuously textured and very full-bodied, with extraordinary sweetness 

and glycerin, and a layered, viscous finish. This wine should continue to 

drink well for at least another 20 years.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 01/03

1990 combines size with clarity and focus in a remarkably complete 

style that recalls the 1982. The wine remains generous on the palate, 

with stunning length and a finish that lasts forever.” A. Galloni for R.

Guigal La Turque 1988 


“Deep purple-colored, with grilled meat and smoky, barbecue-like 

aromas beginning to emerge, along with lavishly ripe scents of black 

plums and cassis, the 1988 La Turque is not quite as suppressed 

aromatically as La Mouline. This thick, unctuously textured, full-bodied, 

monster wine is close to reaching its plateau of drinkability. The wine 

exhibits awesome concentration, terrific purity, and, amazingly, no 

evidence of the 42 months it spent in 100% new oak casks. Very full 

and rich, and potentially the longest-lived La Turque yet made, this wine 

should be legendary.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/97

“The 2001 Barolo Riserva Monfortino flows from the glass with stunning 

depth and purity. This seamless, elegant Barolo caresses the palate 

with incredible persistence as layers of aromas and flavors develop in 

the glass. Stylistically it is very much like the 2001 Cascina Francia, only 

with more intensity, depth and sheer volume. Monfortino has always 

had power to spare, but in 2001 it is also incredibly elegant, something 

that previous vintages have only acquired with significant bottle age. 

This is a towering, majestic Monfortino that will rightfully take its place 

among the very finest Monfortinos ever made.” A. Galloni for R. Parker,

Mastroberardino Taurasi Riserva 1968 

Campania 

u: all very top shoulder, light bin soil 

“The 1968 Taurasi Riserva is simply magnificent. Marvelously dense 

and ethereal, this classy, breathtaking Taurasi offers up a melange of 

plums, prunes, licorice, herbs, spices and minerals, showing incredible 

detail and tons of inner perfume. Amazingly, the 1968 comes across is 

incredibly youthful and vigorous. Today, it looks to be developing along 

the lines of the 1958, another fabulous vintage here. The finish retains 

very attractive elements of classicism and sheer tannic clout. The 1968 

Riserva can be enjoyed today, but ideally it is best opened several hours 

prior to being served. In 1968 the Riserva was made from a blend of 

vineyards in Montemarano, Pian d’Angelo and Castelfranci, three of the 

most renowned spots for Aglianico.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 97 pts.

“The two Roennfeldt Road cuvees, from one of Barossa’s most 

esteemed addresses, appear to be the finest since the legendary 

1998s The 2002 Roennfeldt Road Shiraz was aged in new French oak. 

Aromas of pain grille, truffle, mineral, violets, blackberry, and blueberry 

compote are ethereal and lead to a voluptuous, densely layered, 

succulent, complex Shiraz with 10-15 years of aging potential. This 

extraordinary effort should drink well through 2040.” J. Miller for R.

“The 1994 Insignia (a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% 

Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc) is spectacular. I have had the wine 

a half-dozen or more times, and it is unquestionably opulent, sexy, 

flamboyant, explosively rich, concentrated, and a thrill to drink. Already 

gorgeous, it promises to evolve gracefully for two decades or more. The 

color is a healthy saturated dark purple. The spicy nose offers aromas 

of black currants, allspice, pain grille, and soy, with scents of a burning 

wood fire thrown in for additional complexity. This full-bodied, opulent, 

dazzling wine is exhilarating to drink.” R. Parker, 96 pts. 12/98

Ullage (Level of Wine) Illustration and Interpretations 

For Bordeaux, Port, and other shouldered bottles 

n. ullage is into neck 

bn. bottom neck 

vts. very top shoulder 

ts. top shoulder; usual level for Bordeaux older than 15 yrs 

hs. high shoulder; usual cork reduction, often found in Bordeaux over 20 yrs, low risk 

ms. mid shoulder; variation likely as indicates cork deterioration 

lms. low mid shoulder; some risks, reflected in estimates 

s. shoulder; risky, reflected in estimates 

into neck 

bottom neck 

very top shoulder 

top shoulder 

high shoulder 

mid shoulder 

low mid shoulder 

shoulder 

Ullage of wines of vintages fifteen years and younger may be assumed to be of bottom neck or better unless otherwise noted. 

Similarly, regarding older vintages, lack of notation indicates acceptable and appropriate ullage, clear label and sound cork; potential 

bidders must be prepared for reasonable variations in ullage in all vintages older than 15 years. Bidders with specific 

condition questions should contact the Fine Wines department. Conditions generally not noted on group lots. 

Bordeaux wines are catalogued referencing the 1855 classification. Chateau Petrus cataloguing reflects the practice of granting it 1er 

Cru Classe and other notable Pomerol Chateaux are designated Cru Classe. All Bordeaux wines may assume to be chateau bottled 

unless otherwise stated. 

It is standard practice for Skinner/Lower Falls Wine to open all original wooden cases (owc) for visual inspection. The opening of 

banded cases will be determined on an individual basis. 

For Burgundy, German wines and all other more gradually slope-shouldered bottles, the ullage measurement is taken in centimeters 

from cork base, e.g. 3cm, 5cm, 7cm. 

Bottle Sizes 

bottle (750 ml) jeroboam (4xbt); Burgundy, Champagne demi bottle (demi) 

magnum (2xbt) jeroboam (6xbt); Bordeaux split (1/4 bottle) Champagne 

marie jeanne (3xbt) imperiale (8xbt); Bordeaux 

double magnum (4xbt) methuselah (8xbt); Burgundy 

Buyers’ Caution: Levels are as when catalogued; ullage may change due to cork deterioration; other bottle conditions may occur 

during storage and shipment. Risk of ullage variation and cork deterioration and/or failure is assumed by the buyer at time of 

sale and no sale cancellations, price negotiations, or bottle substitutions will be undertaken by either Skinner or Lower Falls Wine. 

Similarly, no substitutions will be made due to inaccurate descriptions. 

Flights of Lots: Are of the same type, vintage and bottle count and follow one after another numerically, though ullage and bottle 

conditions may vary. The auctioneer may exercise discretion to offer, in consecutive lot order and at that same price, the following 

lots in the flight to the first successful bidder of that flight. Subsequently, those lots not purchased will be offered anew and so on. 

Absentee bids placed on any lot in a flight will be applied to the next lot in the flight (if unsuccessful) until the flight concludes. 

Environmental Note: It has only been in the last 15-20 years that the wine industry has moved away from using lead capsules to 

cover the cork and neck of a bottle. When opening an older wine, if you do have a lead capsule, give consideration as to how you 

dispose of it.

Collection of Wines 

Your Wines 

Lower Falls Wine Co. will endeavor to release or transport your wine to you as quickly as possible. The inherent nature of fine 

wine – particularly aged bottles – requires that due care be taken in its storage and transport. We request your partnership in 

making sure no harm arises during storage, collection or transportation. We may offer suggestions as to the best course of 

action to safeguard your purchase. Fees charged are only to recover associated costs and are not intended to create a profit 

center from the act of getting your wines to you. 

Pick-up of Wines 

Complimentary collection is available by prior arrangement only at: 

Lower Falls Wine Co. 

2366 Washington Street (Rt. 16) 

Newton Lower Falls, MA 02462 

Please schedule your pick up by contacting Lower Falls Wine Co., 617-332-3000, auction@lowerfallswine.com, or www. 

lowerfallswine.com, a minimum of seventy-two hours in advance. Full payment of all applicable charges must be received prior to 

the release of any goods. Wines will only be released to those over 21 years of age. Proof of age will be required. 

Issues with Regard to Transportation 

All bidders should make themselves aware of the limitations and restrictions imposed by various states with regard to the 

importation of alcoholic beverages which have been purchased at auction and transported into any states jurisdiction. All buyers 

have the sole responsibility to research, understand and comply with all permit or license requirements before collection or 

transport of purchases occurs. Neither Skinner Inc. nor Lower Falls Wine Co. is responsible for obtaining any permits or licenses 

on behalf of any bidder. Lower Falls Wine will facilitate, where able, in the making of arrangements for the buyer on their behalf. 

Bidders are strongly urged to understand the individual state statutes with regard to importation prior to participation in any 

auction to insure compliance with said statutes. 

Local Delivery 

Lower Falls Wine Co. will deliver for a fee inside Route 495. 

One case, $29 

Two to four cases, $19 per case 

Five or more cases, $14 per case 

Buyers arranging Massachusetts delivery outside of Route 495 should inquire as to the fees for delivery. Deliveries are made 

Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Delivery will usually occur within one week of your request. All fees 

associated with delivery must be paid in advance of delivery. We reserve the right to (re)package wines if deemed necessary for 

a nominal fee. Wines will only be delivered to, and must be signed for by, someone over 21 years of age. 

Splits 

Any lot that is split for either pick-up or delivery will be subject to a nominal charge. 

Storage 

Complimentary storage of any purchases will not exceed forty-five days past the auction date. All uncollected lots will be 

charged $100 per month (or fraction thereof). Purchases in excess of ten lots will be subject to a fee of a minimum of $250 per 

month. Lower Falls Wine Co. will not be liable for wines fourteen (14) days after auction date. 

All inquires with regard to collection or delivery should be addressed to Lower Falls Wine Co. at 617-332-3000.

the event the buyer is a partnership or corporate entity, the receiver of the wine shall furnish proof fulfilling this criteria. 

2. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the 

consignor and Skinner, Inc., below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but 

in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. 

In any event, and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, Skinner, Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. may reject any bid or raise not 

commensurate with the value of such lot.

source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice, or in the catalog, or 

elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability. Prospective buyers are urged to inspect those 

lots they have interest in. 

4. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by Skinner, Inc. shall be the purchaser. In the case of a 

disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot 

or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Please note 

Massachusetts state law requires all purchasers of alcoholic beverages be at least 21 years of age. Any bidder that plans on spending in 

excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit 

may be required to participate. 

5. All merchandise purchased is payable directly to Skinner Inc., and must be paid for the day of the auction. All merchandise must be 

removed from Lower Falls Wine Co. within forty five (45) days of the auction, and in no event shall Skinner Inc. or Lower Falls Wine 

Co. have any liability for any damage to property left on its premises for more than fourteen (14) days after the sale. Lower Falls Wine 

Co. may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly storage fee per lot as determined by Lower Falls Wine Co. (see Collection of 

Wines). If any property has not been removed within forty five (45) days from the date of sale, at the option of Skinner, Inc. and Lower 

Falls Wine Co. (a) the merchandise may be transferred to and stored at a bonded warehouse and the purchaser agrees to pay all transfer 

and storage expenses, and/or (b) Skinner Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. may place the merchandise in a subsequent auction, without 

Reserve, to be sold to the highest bidder, and after deducting the standard commission and any additional charges that may apply, remit 

the proceeds to the purchaser. 

6. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, good check, or wire transfers, payable in U.S. dollars. Checks will be acceptable only if credit 

has been established with Skinner or if a bank authorization has been received guaranteeing the check. Skinner, Inc. and Lower Falls 

Wine Co. reserve the right to hold merchandise purchased until the funds have cleared the bank. The purchaser agrees to pay Skinner 

and/or Lower Falls Wine Co. a handling charge of $25.00 for any check dishonored by the drawee. 

7. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase 

price of all items for which it was the highest successful bidder, Skinner Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. may exercise all of its rights 

and remedies under the law including, without limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any payments made by the purchaser to 

the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b) offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the 

purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for 

any deficiency plus all costs of sale. 

8. In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase 

price actually paid by such purchaser for such item. 

9. Lower Falls Wine Co. may, in their discretion and at purchaser’s request, package and arrange for delivery as directed by the 

purchaser. In such event, purchaser agrees that (a) all such packaging, handling and delivery is at the sole risk of the purchaser and 

that Skinner, Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. shall have no liability for any loss or damage to such items, and (b) purchaser shall pay in 

advance, all packaging expenses, including labor, materials, carriers fees and all insurance charges. Please arrange seventy-two (72) hours 

in advance for collection and delivery. 

Purchaser shall make itself aware of the limitations and restrictions imposed by various states in regards to the transportation and 

importation of alcoholic beverages and purchaser has the sole responsibility to research and comply with all permit and licensing 

requirements. Neither Skinner, Inc. nor Lower Falls Wine Co. shall be responsible for obtaining any permits or licenses on behalf of 

purchaser and no sale shall be cancelled or refunded for lack of purchaser’s noncompliance with permitting and licensing issues. (Please 

see Collection of Wines) 

10. A premium equal to 21.5% of the final bid price up to and including $200,000, plus 10% of the final bid over $200,000, will be 

applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.
