Chateau Ausone 1999<br />
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (A)<br />
“Is the 1999 Ausone the wine of the vintage Dense purple color, a<br />
compelling bouquet of licorice, minerals, black and blueberry liqueur,<br />
extraordinary delineation, high tannin, superb extract, and phenomenal<br />
richness all are the stuff of a legend. This wine seems impossible<br />
to have emerged from a vintage like 1999. Proprietor Alain Vauthier<br />
produced only 20,000 bottles because he eliminated one-fourth of the<br />
tiny crop. The result is out-and-out fabulous, but the wine needs 12-15<br />
years of cellaring.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 04/02<br />

Chateau Duhart Milon 2008<br />
Pauillac, 4eme Cru Classe<br />
“A magnificent sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 Duhart Milon is the<br />
shrewd consumer’s wine to purchase by the case as prices do not<br />
yet reflect its qualitative resurgence. Composed of 73% Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon and 27% Merlot that came in at 13.09% alcohol, it is a<br />
surprisingly intense effort displaying a marvelous texture, plenty of black<br />
currant, licorice, unsmoked cigar tobacco and earthy characteristics, a<br />
full-bodied mouthfeel and stunning purity as well as density.” R. Parker,<br />

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2006<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe<br />
“A sensational effort, the 2006 Mouton Rothschild exhibits an opaque<br />
purple color as well as a classic Mouton perfume of creme de cassis,<br />
flowers, blueberries, and only a hint of oak. Dalhuin told me that in<br />
whisky barrel-tasting vintages such as 1989 and 1990, Mouton was<br />
aged in heavily-toasted barrels, and they have backed off to a much<br />
lighter toast for the barrels’ interior. I think this has worked fabulously<br />
well with the cassis quality fruit they get from their Cabernet Sauvignon.<br />
The full-bodied, powerful 2006 possesses extraordinary purity and<br />
clarity. A large-scaled, massive Mouton Rothschild that ranks as<br />
one of the top four or five wines of the vintage, it may turn out to<br />
be the longest-lived wine of the vintage by a landslide. The label will<br />
undoubtedly be controversial as a relative of Sigmund Freud, Lucian<br />
Freud, has painted a rather comical Zebra staring aimlessly at what<br />
appears to be a palm tree in the middle of a stark courtyard. I suppose<br />
a psychiatrist could figure out the relationship between that artwork and<br />
wine, but I couldn’t see one. This utterly profound Mouton will need to<br />
sleep for 15+ years before it will reveal any secondary nuances, but it is<br />
a packed and stacked first-growth Pauillac of enormous potential.” R.<br />

Doisy Daene L’Extravagant 2001<br />
“There is only a tiny amount of the light gold/green-colored 2001 Doisy-<br />
Daene l’Extravagant (primarily Sauvignon Blanc). As the name suggests,<br />
it is extravagantly rich as well as very full-bodied with extraordinary<br />
purity and intensity. The finish lasts for over a minute. There are loads<br />
of botrytis in addition to caramelized tropical fruits, zesty acidity, and<br />
striking clarity of expression.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 06/04<br />

G. Conterno Barolo Monfortino Riserva 2001<br />
Piedmont<br />
“The 2001 Barolo Riserva Monfortino flows from the glass with stunning<br />
depth and purity. This seamless, elegant Barolo caresses the palate<br />
with incredible persistence as layers of aromas and flavors develop in<br />
the glass. Stylistically it is very much like the 2001 Cascina Francia, only<br />
with more intensity, depth and sheer volume. Monfortino has always<br />
had power to spare, but in 2001 it is also incredibly elegant, something<br />
that previous vintages have only acquired with significant bottle age.<br />
This is a towering, majestic Monfortino that will rightfully take its place<br />
among the very finest Monfortinos ever made.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 10/08<br />

Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2005<br />
Columbia Valley<br />
“The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 3% Merlot. The principal<br />
component comes from the Champoux Vineyard (in which the winery<br />
is a partner) with contributions from the Klipsun and Taptiel Vineyards,<br />
outstanding in their own right. It, too, was aged for 22 months in 100%<br />
new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume<br />
of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black<br />
currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating, the layers of complex<br />
flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional<br />
cellaring. The oak, tannin, and acidity are beautifully integrated and<br />
the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute. Purchasers no doubt will<br />
want to try a bottle immediately but this towering effort will not reach its<br />
peak until 2015 at the earliest and provide pleasure through 2040. I say<br />
this with confidence because a 1983 Quilceda Creek Cabernet tasted<br />
in May 2008 is at its peak now and should carry on for another 10-15<br />
years.” J. Miller for R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/08<br />

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2000<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe<br />
“Perhaps the most beautiful packaging ever on a Bordeaux bottle,<br />
Baroness Philippine de Rothschild literally produced a work of art in<br />
the gold-engraved bottle of 2000 Mouton Rothschild. Of course, one<br />
can’t drink the glass, but this is a top-flight Mouton Rothschild, eclipsed<br />
only by the 2006 and 2009. A rich, tannic, earthy style, with loads<br />
of creme de cassis and floral notes, the final blend of 86% Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon and 14% Merlot is a full-bodied wine with plenty of coffee,<br />
earth, chocolatey notes, and still plenty of tannin to resolve. I gave it an<br />
anticipated maturity range of 2015-2050 back in 2003, and that looks<br />
on target.” R. Parker, 96+ pts. 06/10<br />

“Along with the 1982, 2000, and 2005, the 1990 is one of those<br />
monumental Grand Puy Lacostes that you can’t have enough of. Still<br />
inky/blue/purple-colored to the rim, it boasts a gorgeously sweet,<br />
pure nose of creme de cassis, spring flowers, and a hint of wet rocks.<br />
The wine is full-bodied, plush, and expansive with impressive levels<br />
of glycerin and purity as well as an endearing texture. This 1990 is<br />
evolving at a glacial pace, but the sweetness of the tannins and low<br />
acidity ensure a delicious treat whenever a bottle is opened.” R. Parker,<br />

u: all into neck<br />
“Somewhat similar to the 1990, but slightly more structured, with more<br />
noticeable tannin and a meatier style, this is still a very perfumed,<br />
exotic, expansive, sensationally concentrated wine that should age<br />
effortlessly for another 10-15 years. In that sense, it might actually<br />
outlast the 1990, but what a pair these two wines make. The wine has<br />
a dark garnet/ruby color and fabulous aromatics of black raspberries,<br />
kirsch, licorice, and copious amounts of toasted new oak. Relatively<br />
full-bodied for a La Conseillante, with great purity, sweet tannin, but<br />
noticeable structure and muscle, this is a relatively large-scaled La<br />
Conseillante that has always been one of the top wines of the vintage.”<br />

Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe<br />
u: all very top shoulder or better<br />
“The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but what a<br />
great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of the pyramid<br />
although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent<br />
vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching<br />
the 1989’s extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential.<br />
Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the<br />
stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle<br />
smoke, oak and graphite. Powerful and rich with some tannins still to<br />
shed at age 22, it is still a young adolescent in terms of its evolution<br />
and will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring. It should prove to be<br />
a 50 year wine.” R. Parker, 99+ pts. 08/11<br />

Diamond Creek Vineyards was one of the first “cult” wineries in<br />
California. Founder Al Brounstein began the winery in 1968 and<br />
grabbed acclaim after just a very short tenure. From a gorgeous site—<br />
there are informal gardens woven along and through the vineyards—a<br />
tiny morsel of three vineyard designated wines are produced. Under<br />
extremely rare circumstances, a fourth bottling, “The Lake” is added to<br />
the menu. –PhM<br />

Wonderful Bordeaux from a Cape cellar. From a climate-controlled<br />
cellar, picked up by Skinner staff.<br />
Cheval Blanc doesn’t scream out for attention, rather it is passionately<br />
pursued by a knowing few. Unquestionably worthy of “First Growth”<br />
stature. In keeping with the Right Bank scene, the beautiful park-like<br />
setting feels surprisingly casual. Formal to a point, but not overly so.<br />
Cheval Blanc is comprised of cabernet franc and merlot. The vinous<br />
equivalent of grace and good taste. -PhM<br />

Pichon Longueville - The visually stunning Pichon Longueville could<br />
serve as the post-card-image one conjures up when imaging a<br />
chateau in France. A Second Growth for certain, but given Pichon’s<br />
lofty neighbors, their competitive juices must be constantly flowing.<br />
An intriguing aspect with many these older, established estates is<br />
how rigorously they embrace modernity – one could be forgiven for<br />
erroneously assuming that time has stopped inside the front door. In<br />
Pichon’s case, it was the first property to attain the ISO 14001 standard<br />
in the entire Bordeaux region! -PhM<br />

Carriere. This French-styled offering is made from a vineyard planted<br />
in soils filled with white volcanic ash, and is aged completely in Louis<br />
Latour barrels. It possesses an exquisite liquid minerality as well as<br />
gorgeous aromas of citrus oils intermixed with such exotic tropical fruits<br />
as guava and passion fruit. Full-bodied, with dazzling palate penetration,<br />
fine balance, and an extraordinary, layered, multidimensional feel, this<br />
is one of the single greatest Chardonnays I have recently tasted. It is a<br />
brilliant blend of French finesse with California power that should drink<br />
well for 5-7 years, possibly longer.” R. Parker, (95-97) pts. 12/03<br />

accompanied by notes of graphite, charcoal, burning embers, creme de<br />
cassis, licorice and chocolate fudge. Opulent and full-bodied with sweet<br />
tannin as well as low acidity, it is just beginning to strut its stuff and<br />
reveal secondary nuances. Approachable now, this full-bodied, multidimensional<br />

“The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Bello (80% Cabernet Sauvignon,<br />
11% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot that reached 13.4% alcohol)<br />
represents a severe selection of only 40% of the vineyard’s crop. A<br />
blockbuster, powerful, concentrated Monte Bello, it possesses an<br />
opaque purple color, plenty of spicy oak in the nose (100% American<br />
oak has always been used for aging Monte Bello), and a deep, layered,<br />
concentrated style. There is plenty of tannin, but it is sweeter than that<br />
found in the 1997, and the wine is more concentrated and extracted.<br />
There is a touch of oak in the flavors, which are otherwise dominated<br />
by minerals and jammy black fruits. This is a terrific Monte Bello that will<br />
have 30+ years of life.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 12/98<br />

Petrus - In the renowned village of Pomerol, pack-leader Chateau<br />
Petrus is unassumingly modest. Close by the road, lacking some<br />
formal alley, it is easy to overlook when contrasted with some<br />
architecturally grander neighbors. The robin’s-egg-blue shutters<br />
against the limestone creates a hushed and dignified exterior to the<br />
chai. Of course the hedonistic treasures crafted within are anything<br />
but reserved… On average, only about 4,000 cases are made each<br />
vintage. -PhM<br />

“An estate only needs to produce a handful of wines such as the 1961<br />
Petrus to garner an international following. Not surprisingly, the 1961<br />
Petrus was pure perfection. This fully mature wine possesses a port-like<br />
richness (reminiscent of the 1947 Petrus and 1947 Cheval Blanc). The<br />
color revealed considerable amber and garnet, but the wine is crammed<br />
with viscous, thick, over-ripe black-cherry, mocha-tinged fruit flavors.<br />
Extremely full-bodied, with huge amounts of glycerin and alcohol, this<br />
unctuously-textured, thick wine makes for an awesome mouthful.<br />

cherry, and encased in a shell of Valrhona chocolate!” R. Parker, 100<br />

“A blockbuster, dark plum/garnet-colored wine, the 1982 L’Evangile<br />

tannin is barely noticeable in this massive, rich, gorgeous effort. The<br />
complexity of the nose alone is worth a special admission price. It is<br />
close to full maturity, and is capable of lasting another 20-25 years.” R.<br />

Leoville Las Cases (LLC) is a St. Julien in name only—not that there<br />
is anything wrong with that. This wine is generally quite well-endowed<br />
and possessing dramatic depth. LLC is quite a large property on the<br />
river side of the north-south road from the city of Bordeaux. Leoville<br />
Barton and Leoville Poyferre were cleaved off at various times in<br />
history…further validation that this is a most special site (“terrior” in<br />
French). –PhM<br />

“Broodingly backward and in need of considerable bottle age, the 1988<br />
is a classic expression of Lafite. This deeply-colored wine exhibits the<br />
tell-tale Lafite bouquet of cedar, subtle herbs, dried pit fruits, minerals,<br />
and cassis. Extremely concentrated, with brilliantly focused flavors<br />
and huge tannins, this backward, yet impressively endowed Lafite-<br />
Rothschild may well turn out to be the wine of the vintage!” R. Parker,<br />

Cabernet Franc (40% of the production made it into the grand vin).<br />
Its dense purple color is followed by hints of espresso roast, cassis,<br />
burning embers, truffles and graphite. Rich with full-bodied power,<br />
beautiful purity and graciousness allied to a voluminous, savory, broad<br />
mouthfeel, this beauty will be drinkable in 4-5 years and will keep for<br />

Chateau Margauxs given its recent bottling, this blend of 87% Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest tiny quantities of Cabernet Franc<br />

as 1982, 1986, and 1990 will reach a similar height. The super-aromatic<br />
bouquet of flowers, black truffles, cedar, lead pencil, and red fruits is<br />
followed by one of the most powerful and concentrated Lafites I have<br />
tasted. Medium to full-bodied, velvety-textured, rich, and pure, it is a<br />

it is undeniable that Mouton made a richer, more persuasive wine in<br />
1959 than in 1961. Astonishingly young and unevolved, with a black/<br />
purple color, the wine exhibits a youthful nose of cassis, minerals, and<br />
new oak. It is exceptionally powerful and super-extracted, with the<br />
fruit supported by high levels of tannin and some lusty quantities of<br />
alcohol. This mammoth, full-bodied Mouton-Rothschild should continue<br />
to evolve for another 20-30 years. It may well be a 100-year wine!” R.<br />

Harlan Estate 2007<br />

“The prodigious 2007 Harlan Estate reminds me of a hypothetical<br />
blend of the 2002 with a touch of the controversial 1997. Dense plum/<br />
purple-colored with sweet aromas of barbecue smoke, blueberries,<br />
blackberries, cassis, licorice, hot rocks and subtle oak, it is a splendidly<br />
opulent, pure wine with a skyscraper-like texture as well as stunningly<br />
deep fruit that expands gracefully across the palate. The finish lasts<br />
nearly a full minute. Because of its overwhelming richness and sweet<br />
tannins, this brilliant wine seems to be approachable now, but I<br />
suspect further nuances and complexity will emerge after 4-5 years<br />
in the bottle. This wine will still be going strong at age 25-30. Like the<br />
offerings from its sister estate, Bond, these Harlan Estate offerings are<br />
uncompromisingly brilliant examples of Napa viticulture and winemaking<br />
at its finest. Kudos to proprietor Bill Harlan.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 12/10<br />

“This is a denser version of the 1990 that stylistically reminds me of<br />
what the young 1959 probably tasted like. Still backward with a deep<br />
ruby/plum color revealing only a touch of lightening at the edge, the<br />
wine offers up an extraordinary nose of caramelized herbs, smoke,<br />
cedar, pen ink, black currants, and earth. The gorgeous aromatics are<br />
followed by a full-bodied, plump, rich, fleshy wine with low acidity. With<br />
6-8 hours decanting in a closed decanter, it will offer beautiful drinking,<br />
but it needs another 5-8 years to reach full maturity. It is capable of<br />
lasting 50-60 years. This classic Lafite is not as fat and concentrated as<br />

“A consistent 100-point wine (only because my point scale stops at that<br />
number), the 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is truly one of the immortal wines<br />
of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its remarkably<br />
exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, coffee, tobacco, mocha,<br />
and Asian spices. It is an extraordinarily dense, opulent, and rich wine,<br />
with layers of creamy fruit, behaving more like a 1947 Pomerol than<br />
a structured, powerful, and tannic 1945. The wine finishes with a 60+<br />
second display of ripe fruit, extract, and sweet tannin. This remarkably<br />
youthful wine (only light amber at the edge) is mindboggling! Will it last<br />
another 50 years” R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/98<br />

“This wine remains one of the legends of Bordeaux. It has thrown off<br />
the backward, youthful style that existed during its first 25 years of life,<br />
and over the last 4-5 years has developed such secondary nuances<br />
as cedar and spice box. The creme de cassis, underlying floral note,<br />
full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multilayered texture, and finish<br />
of over a minute are a showcase for what this Chateau accomplished<br />
in 1982. The wine is still amazingly youthful, vibrant, and pure. It<br />
appears capable of remaining fruity and vibrant in 2082! Thank God it is<br />
beginning to budge, as I would like to drink most of my supply before<br />
I kick the bucket. This is a great, still youthful wine, and, on occasion,<br />
one does understand the hierarchy of Bordeaux chateaux when you<br />
see the complexity and brilliance of this first-growth.” R. Parker, 100<br />

terrific Cos possesses remarkable intensity, full body, and layers of<br />

entirely to drive Cos (pronounce the “s”) to whatever heights the Pauillac<br />
trio (Latour, Mouton and Lafite) pull out. 1990 was and is a thoroughly<br />
majestic vintage. The wine can be drunk now, or cellared further. –PhM<br />

“The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina is utter perfection<br />
in the glass – an awesome wine both comparable to and eclipsing the<br />
otherworldly 2003. Saturated purple to the rim, with an extraordinary<br />
nose of incense, fruitcake, blackberry and black cherry notes with<br />
some subtle roasted herbs, roast beef, smoke, and licorice, massive<br />
fruit concentration, extraordinary intensity, unreal purity and harmony,<br />
and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this is a<br />
tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the most compelling<br />
Chateauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted. The length goes on well<br />
past a minute, and the wine should age effortlessly for 25-30+ years.<br />
The tannins are formidable according to consulting oenologist Philippe<br />
Cambie, but they are nearly obscured by the wine’s remarkable<br />
concentration and intensity. This is a riveting wine.” R. Parker, 100 pts.<br />

blue, black, and red fruit characteristics. It also possesses extraordinary<br />
concentration, but what sets it apart is the fragrant aromatics combined<br />

inky/blue/purple color as well as an extraordinary, precise bouquet<br />

possesses fabulous fruit and great intensity, but what makes it so<br />
special is its precision, focus, and almost ethereal lightness despite<br />
substantial flavor intensity and depth. It is a ballerina with density and<br />

exhibited in the complexity of the nose, which offers up hints of subtle<br />
chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, truffle, barbecue smoke, and graphite.<br />
Dense, rich, and full-bodied, with an opulence and succulence that are<br />
prodigious, the tannins are present but extremely sweet, and the wine<br />

Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2000<br />
St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe<br />
“The plushest, most ostentatious and dramatic of all the Leovilles in<br />
2000, this wine is already sumptuous, displaying some nuances in<br />
its huge nose of vanilla bean, black chocolate, jammy black cherries,<br />
cassis, and graphite in a flamboyant style. Opulent, savory, rich, and<br />
full-bodied, it is a head-turning, prodigious wine and a complete<br />
contrast to the extracted behemoth of Leoville Barton and the<br />
backward, classic Leoville Las Cases. The Poyferre’s low acidity, sweet<br />
tannin and an already gorgeous mouthfeel make it a wine to drink now<br />
as well as over the next 25 or more years.” R. Parker, 97 pts. 06/10<br />

Chateau Margaux 2000<br />
Margaux, 1er Cru Classe<br />
“Absolutely compelling in two tastings of this vintage, the 2000 Margaux<br />
is composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. The<br />
extraordinary seductiveness, complex aromatics, and purity it exhibits<br />
lead me to believe it has reached its window of full maturity. Mediumbodied,<br />
with layers of concentration, stunning blue, red, and black<br />
fruits intermixed with spring flowers, a subtle dosage of new oak, and<br />
a distinctive personality that is elegant while at the same time powerful<br />
and substantial, this is a multi-dimensional wine that was extremely<br />
approachable and drinkable in both tastings I had of it. The color<br />
remains a healthy, even opaque bluish/purple, but there is no reason to<br />
hesitate to drink it. It should evolve for another 30-40 years, so there is<br />
no hurry either.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10<br />

Chateau Pape Clement 2005<br />
Pessac Leognan<br />
“Probably the greatest Pape-Clement ever made, the dense purplecolored<br />
2005 (a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon)<br />
exhibits sumptuous notes of smoky scorched earth, graphite, melted<br />
licorice, and blackberries. Once past the exquisite perfume, the wine<br />
reveals full body, extraordinary concentration, plenty of chocolate,<br />
smoke, cassis, and blackberry flavors, and that unmistakable volcanic<br />
ash-like earthiness that comes from this appellation. The tannins are<br />
slightly sweeter than those found in most northern Medocs, but this is<br />
still a backward, large-scaled effort that requires 7-8 years of cellaring. It<br />
should last for 30-35 years.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 04/08<br />

Chateau d’Yquem 2001<br />

somewhat reticent aromatically, with airing, it offers up honeyed tropical<br />
fruit, orange marmalade, pineapple, sweet creme brulee, and buttered<br />
nut-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied with gorgeously refreshing<br />
acidity as well as massive concentration and unctuosity. Everything<br />
is uplifted and given laser-like focus by refreshing acidity. This largescaled,<br />
youthful Yquem appears set to take its place among the most<br />
legendary vintages of the past, and will age effortlessly for 75+ years.”<br />

Chateau Pavie 2000<br />
St. Emilion<br />
“I tasted this wine twice during the 2000 horizontals, then I actually<br />
popped the cork and drank a half-bottle of it. This wine remains,<br />
for me, one of the compelling success stories for proprietor Gerard<br />
Perse. An extraordinary effort made from a blend of 60% Merlot, 30%<br />
Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from the limestone<br />
soils that dominate this very distinctive terroir, the 2000 Pavie has<br />
moved out of the closed, dormant, broodingly backward stage into an<br />
adolescent period where one can see its extraordinary vibrancy, and<br />
great complexity as well as potential. It boasts an unctuous display of<br />
rich, cedar box-infused cassis fruit and liquid minerality. The tannins<br />
have sweetened, yet the wine has thirty years of longevity and potential<br />
evolution. A beautiful wine of great mass as well as elegance, it is good<br />
to see the extraordinary efforts that Gerard Perse and his team have<br />
made confirmed in this prodigious wine. A legend now...a legend for the<br />
future.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10<br />

shell and iodine component followed by pure, muscular, fantastically<br />
detailed and precise flavors that coat the palate with buckets of sappy<br />
extract. This is quite concentrated and powerful yet there is a real sense<br />
of grace and class that separates this from all of the prior wines. The<br />
finish builds and builds until it finally explodes on the superbly long back<br />
end with a sense of crystalline minerality yet all the while this remains<br />
a wine built more along the lines of finesse rather than the power of<br />
the Les Clos though it must be said that the ‘02 Preuses is hardly shy.<br />
This is one of those really rare wines where all you can say is ‘WOW.’”<br />

was without question the biggest, and best, surprise of my visit chez<br />
Drouhin. A touch of wood toast frames the elegant, pure, intense and<br />
gorgeously spicy black pinot fruit that complements perfectly the big,<br />
robust, sweet and large-scaled flavors that are underpinned by very<br />
firm buried tannins and sensational length. Like the Griotte, this has that<br />
that ‘wow’ factor and then some. Quite simply put, this is reference<br />
standard juice in 2005. Don’t miss it and it is a wine that I will be putting<br />
in my cellar.” Burghound, 96 pts. 04/01/07<br />

superb power and striking depth of material on the unbelievably long<br />

“A spicy, ripe and pure nose of floral red pinot fruit and rose petals<br />
possesses nuances of menthol, earth and a slight whiff of the sauvage<br />
that can also be found on the rich, serious and powerful big-bodied<br />
flavors that are sleekly muscled and very firmly structured yet they<br />
remain balanced, cool and harmonious on the monumentally long finish.<br />
This seems less structured than it really is as the abundant sap renders<br />
them less prominent if not invisible. While 15 to 20 years should see<br />
this at its apogee, this will still be alive and well at 50 years of age.”<br />

“All the superb and dramatic complexity that this displayed from barrel<br />
has made it into bottle as an extremely ripe and fantastically broad<br />
nose soars from the glass, merging seamlessly into dense, pure rich<br />
and powerful flavors that are opulent, sweet and dripping with so much<br />
extract and sap that the combination stains and saturates the palate<br />
on the hugely proportioned yet impeccably balanced finish that is so<br />
long that it doesn’t seem possible. Given how many reference standard<br />
vintages Domaine Ponsot has produced of the Clos de la Roche over<br />
the years, it would be presumptuous to anoint this as the best ever but<br />
if it isn’t, it will certainly take its rightful place among the very greatest.<br />
In sum, a ‘wow’ wine that makes you shake your head in sheer<br />
amazement. However be aware that this is a buy and forget wine as it<br />
will require at least 15 years to shed its considerable tannins and it will<br />
see 50 years without difficulty.” Burghound, 99 pts. 01/01/08<br />

Cote de Nuits<br />
“A subtle trace of wood frames the bright red pinot fruit and naturally<br />
spicy nose that is extremely fresh and this sense of vibrancy and<br />
freshness suffuses the rich, round and even more powerful lithe and<br />
tautly shaped flavors replete with the same energy and precision of the<br />
Ruchottes, all wrapped in a stony and perfectly balanced finish that<br />
seems to have no end. A stunning wine that should age for years and<br />
this is potentially the best CSJ that I have seen in the last 20 years.”<br />

jump from the glass of this intense wine. Full-bodied, with staggering<br />
concentration and a personality not terribly dissimilar from a first-growth<br />
Pauillac, but showing no evidence of oak whatsoever (and that is in<br />
spite of being aged in 100% new oak casks), this wine needs 10-12<br />

Chapoutier Ermitage Le Pavillon 1995<br />

accessible than the 1996 (due to lower acidity and more immediately<br />
accessible glycerin and fruit), with a magnificent black/purple color, and<br />
layers of cassis fruit, smoky, roasted meat, and mineral characteristics<br />
that are the result of barrel fermentation and high extraction of fruit. It<br />
is huge, but not heavy, gorgeously proportioned, and dazzlingly welldefined.<br />
A monster Hermitage of immense proportions, it somehow<br />
manages to keep everything in balance. This backward Pavillon will<br />
require 10-12 years of cellaring. It should age well through the first half<br />
of the next century.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 10/97<br />

a full-bodied, opulent style, moderately high tannin, sensational<br />
concentration, and abundant aromas and flavors of spring flowers,<br />
blueberries, blackberries, cherries, and spice. It is a meaty, fleshy,<br />

Southern Rhone<br />
“The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee stands out as one of<br />
the all-time great wines made by Laurence Feraud and her father, Paul.<br />
I remember first tasting it from a large tank as it was still fermenting<br />
and it was already impressive! It is a full-bodied, powerful wine that<br />
must tip the scales at close to 15.5% natural alcohol. I don’t think<br />
this big, chewy, voluptuously textured wine will ever close down. Dark<br />
plum/garnet with the classic Provencal display of garrigue, lavender,<br />
pepper, kirsch and Asian plum sauce, this full-throttle wine has splendid<br />
concentration, silky tannins, and a very voluptuous texture. It should<br />
continue to drink well for another 25 years.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 10/08<br />

Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo 2003<br />
Southern Rhone<br />
“For the fourth time, the Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo has<br />
been produced, and for the fourth time, it has received a perfect<br />
score although I might back off the 2000’s perfect score based on<br />
the fact that it seems to be more of an upper-ninety point wine than<br />
pure perfection these days. The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee<br />
da Capo has distanced itself ever so slightly from the 2003 Cuvee<br />
Reservee. Before bottling and immediately after bottling, these two<br />
wines’ differences were not as evident. At present the Capo reveals<br />
that extra level of flavor, power, complexity and richness. It is a big wine<br />
(16.1% alcohol – less than in the 1998, but more than in the 2000 and<br />
2007) boasting a dark plum/garnet color as well as a stunning bouquet<br />
of aged beef intermixed with pepper, herbes de Provence, and steak<br />
au poivre. This unctuously textured, full-bodied Chateauneuf possesses<br />
enormous body, huge flavors and sweet, velvety tannins. Still youthful,<br />
it has not yet begun to close down, and I’m not sure it ever will given<br />
this unusual vintage. It is a modern day classic that should continue to<br />
provide provocative as well as compelling drinking for 20-30+ years.”<br />

Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina 2005<br />
Southern Rhone<br />
“The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina is utter perfection<br />
in the glass—an awesome wine both comparable to and eclipsing the<br />
otherworldly 2003. Saturated purple to the rim, with an extraordinary<br />
nose of incense, fruitcake, blackberry and black cherry notes with<br />
some subtle roasted herbs, roast beef, smoke, and licorice, massive<br />
fruit concentration, extraordinary intensity, unreal purity and harmony,<br />
and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this is a<br />
tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the most compelling<br />
Chateauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted. The length goes on well<br />
past a minute, and the wine should age effortlessly for 25-30+ years.<br />
The tannins are formidable according to consulting oenologist Philippe<br />
Cambie, but they are nearly obscured by the wine’s remarkable<br />
concentration and intensity. This is a riveting wine.” J. Miller for R.<br />

Southern Rhone<br />
“There are 1,800 cases of the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du<br />
Mon Aieul (100% tank-aged Grenache). It represents an awesome<br />
naked/virginal expression of Grenache from three vineyard parcels<br />
planted in sand, clay, and limestone soils. After tasting this wine on five<br />
separate occasions, I can state with certainty, it has the most saturated<br />
color of any Mon Aieul produced to date. Moreover, its perfume of<br />
blueberry liqueur, black raspberries, licorice, roasted meat juices, and<br />
lavender is incredible. Full-bodied power, a multilayered mouthfeel,<br />
tremendous purity, and awesome concentration put this wine in a class<br />
by itself. This sensational Chateauneuf du Pape is still very young, and<br />
3-4 years of cellaring is required. It should be a modern day legend and<br />
last for nearly two decades.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 10/09<br />

S. Pacenti Brunello di Montalcino 2004<br />
Tuscany<br />
“The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is a huge, dense wine that explodes<br />
from the glass with tar, smoke, earthiness black cherries and minerals.<br />
The wine possesses dazzling concentration and tons of richness,<br />
as waves of fruit coat the palate in stunning style. This big, dramatic<br />
Brunello needs time in bottle, but it is nothing short of magnificent<br />
today. The balance, and the integration of the French oak in particular,<br />
is brilliant. For those who are curious to try a bottle now, the wine<br />
should be opened a few hours in advance as the tannins are imposing<br />
at this stage. This is a rare Brunello of superb pedigree and complexity.”<br />

Numanthia Termes Termanthia 2004<br />

“Believe it or not, the 2004 Termanthia is even better than the<br />
Numanthia. From an 11 acre plot, 2600 feet above sea level, planted<br />
with 100+-year-old ungrafted vines, the yields were well under 1 ton of<br />
fruit per acre. The wine was barrel fermented and received the “200%<br />
new oak” treatment over 20 months before being bottled unfined and<br />
unfiltered. Opaque purple-colored, the wine has an awesome nose<br />
which is already multi-faceted. There are elements of pain grille, lead<br />
pencil, mineral, violets, blueberry and blackberry with just a bit more<br />
subtlety and nuance than its two colleagues. On the palate the wine<br />
is an infant developmentally with densely packed ripe fruit, sensational<br />
balance, and a seamlessness that must be tasted to be believed. It<br />
should age like a great vintage of Lafite or Latour and have at least a<br />
50 year life span. If you have a soul, sell it to the devil for a few bottles<br />
of this extraordinary liquid. There are only 1500 bottles for the American<br />

Vineyard is my favorite of this remarkable collection. A glass-coating,<br />
saturated opaque purple/black in color, the wine offers up a sexy/<br />
kinky bouquet of pain grille, Asian spices, pencil lead, mineral, lavender,<br />
blueberry, and black cherry. On the palate there is layer upon layer of<br />
savory fruit, spice notes, espresso, and chocolate as well as exquisite<br />
balance. The wine’s finish lasts for more than a minute. Try a bottle,<br />

Glaetzer Shiraz Amon Ra 2005<br />
Barossa Valley<br />
“The profound 2005 Shiraz Amon Ra is fashioned from a dry grown,<br />
100- to 110 year-old vineyard, and spends 14 months in a combination<br />
of 100% new French and American barrels as well as 300-liter<br />
hogsheads. A saturated purple color is followed by scents of creme de<br />
cassis, incense, licorice, black raspberries, graphite, and sweet wood.<br />
It unfolds beautifully on the palate to reveal terrific richness, full-bodied<br />
power, great definition, and lovely elegance. This exquisite Shiraz is<br />
still young, but it possesses a degree of accessibility. It should age for<br />
two decades. It is a superb example of cutting edge winemaking being<br />
utilized on ancient Shiraz vines in the Barossa.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 10/06<br />

Penfolds Grange 1998<br />
South Australia<br />
“A wine that flirts with perfection, and should rival the 1986 as one of<br />
the legendary Granges produced, the 1998 has one of the highest<br />
alcohol contents (nearly 15%) as well as one of the highest percentages<br />
of Shiraz in the blend (97%). Its stunning purple color is accompanied<br />
by exceptionally sweet aromas of blackberry liqueur intermixed<br />
with barbecue spices, an endearing, smoky earthiness, pepper,<br />
roasted meats, and coffee. Huge, massive, unctuously textured,<br />
and extraordinarily youthful, this impressive wine is a candidate for<br />
perfection. It should continue to evolve over the next three decades.” R.<br />

a top-notch Clos de la Roche from a domaine such as Ponsot. Notes<br />
of fresh mushrooms, forest floor, plums, black cherries, raspberries, and<br />
hints of white chocolate and smoke jump form the glass of this fullbodied<br />

Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2004<br />
Columbia Valley<br />
“The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 3% Merlot and 1% Cabernet<br />
with the wine sourced from the Champoux, Klipsun, and Taptiel<br />
Vineyards. It was aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak. There<br />
are 3400 cases produced, most of it sold through the winery’s mailing<br />
list and the rest in a handful of markets. Opaque purple-colored, it<br />
delivers a remarkable array of aromas including pain grille, violets, pencil<br />
lead, truffle, Asian spices, black currant, and blueberry. This leads to<br />
a lustrous, layered, velvet-textured wine with gobs of spicy, ripe black<br />
fruits and beautifully integrated oak, tannin, and acidity. The long, pure<br />
finish goes on for well over a minute. It will evolve for a decade and<br />
drink well through 2045. I was able to retaste the 2001, 2002, and<br />
2003 vintages and can only say that Monsieur Rovani’s notes and<br />
scores are right on the bull’s-eye.” J. Miller for R. Parker, 99 pts. 08/07<br />

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe<br />
“A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, this wine<br />
represents only 34% of Lafite’s total harvest. In a less than perfect<br />
Medoc vintage, it has been spectacular since birth, putting on more<br />
weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored 1998<br />
is close to perfection. The spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky,<br />
mineral, and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass. The<br />
wine is elegant yet profoundly rich, revealing the essence of Lafite’s<br />
character. The tannin is sweet, and the wine is spectacularly layered yet<br />
never heavy. The finish is sweet, super-rich, yet impeccably balanced<br />
and long (50+ seconds).” R. Parker, 98 pts. 04/01<br />

Chateau Margaux 1996<br />
Margaux, 1er Cru Classe<br />
“The 1996 Chateau Margaux, which was bottled in September,<br />
1998, is undoubtedly one of the great classics produced under the<br />
Mentzelopoulos regime. In many respects, it is the quintessential<br />
Chateau Margaux, as well as the paradigm for this estate, combining<br />
measured power, extraordinary elegance, and admirable complexity. I<br />
tasted the wine on three separate occasions in January, and in short,<br />
it’s a beauty! The color is opaque purple. The wine offers extraordinarily<br />
pure notes of blackberries, cassis, pain grille, and flowers, gorgeous<br />
sweetness, a seamless personality, and full body, with nothing out of<br />
place. The final blend (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the<br />
rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) contains a high percentage of<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon. It tastes complete and long, although backward.<br />
My instincts suggest this wine will shut down, but at present it is openknit,<br />
tasting like a recently bottled wine. The fruit is exceptionally sweet<br />
and pure, and there are layers of flavor in the mouth. I do believe this<br />
wine will develop an extraordinary perfume, and possess a high level of<br />
richness.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 04/99<br />

“Today, the fruit from this vineyard has been incorporated into the<br />
second wine of La Mission-Haut-Brion, so I hope readers do not forget<br />
how great many vintages of La Tour-Haut-Brion were. The superb 1982<br />
ranks alongside their great 1949, 1955, 1959, 1961, and 1975. No wine<br />
since this 1982 ever achieved this level of quality. Its inky/purple hue is<br />
followed by classic aromas of scorched earth, plums, cassis, charcoal,<br />
and truffles, powerful, full-bodied flavors, superb concentration, and a<br />
boatload of tannin. The wine is so complex aromatically, and the attack<br />
is so impressive that I can’t resist drinking it. However, it should be<br />
even better in 5-8 years, and should last for another three decades.” R.<br />

“A prodigious Petrus, this wine has that extra level of intensity and<br />
complexity that is monumental. The magic is clearly Petrus, and the<br />
2000 will always be an interesting vintage to compare to another legend<br />
in the making, the 1998, or more recently, of course, the 2005, 2008,<br />
and 2009. Extremely full-bodied, with great fruit purity, an unmistakable<br />
note of underbrush, black truffle, intense black cherries, licorice, and<br />
mulberry, the wine seems to show no evidence of oak whatsoever. It<br />
has a sumptuous, unctuous texture, plenty of tannin, but also vibrancy<br />
and brightness. This is a remarkable wine that seems slightly more<br />
structured and massive than the 1998, which comes across as slightly<br />
more seamless, as if it were haute couture.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10<br />

Joseph Phelps Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2003<br />
Napa<br />
“Full-bodied, powerful, and rich, the deep purple-hued 2003 Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon Backus Vineyard boasts a rich, sumptuous bouquet of<br />
graphite, blueberries, truffles, and damp earth. With an almost inky<br />
intensity, it will benefit from another 2-3 years of bottle age, and should<br />
drink well for two decades or more.” R. Parker, 96 pts. 12/06<br />

“The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus (96% Cabernet Sauvignon and<br />
the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec) is absolutely fabulous. The wine has<br />
a bluish purple color to the rim and an extraordinary nose of graphite,<br />
spring flowers, blackberries, cassis, and espresso roast. A savory,<br />
full-bodied, powerful wine with great fruit, low acidity, and abundant<br />
tannin, it cuts a broad swath across the palate. This is a classic Oakville<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon. It should drink well for at least 20 years.” R.<br />

licorice. Full-bodied as well as elegant with sweet tannin, gorgeous<br />
purity, and admirable depth, this effort has developed beautifully since<br />
I tasted it last year. It appears to have 25 or more years of aging<br />
potential.” R. Parker, 94 pts. 12/08<br />

“The 2004 Insignia (the first to be 100% from the estate vineyards) is<br />
a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 12% Petit Verdot,<br />
and the rest Malbec. I had this wine several times in Napa, and it is a<br />
beauty. A flashy, exuberant style for Phelps, with dense ruby/purple<br />
color, a gorgeous nose of creme de cassis, incense, licorice, smoke,<br />
and spice, the wine has supple tannins, a flamboyant, full-bodied<br />
mouthfeel, and tremendous length. Despite its precociousness and<br />
up-front style, this wine should evolve easily for 20 or more years. There<br />
are 10,000 cases of the 2004.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 12/07<br />

“Since 2004, 100% of the Bordeaux varietals used in the Insignia<br />
proprietary blend have been from estate vineyards. The beautiful,<br />
dense ruby/purple-tinged 2005 Insignia (a 12,500-case blend of 92%<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot) possesses sweet<br />
aromas of black cherries, cassis, chocolate, camphor, and a subtle hint<br />
of roasted herbs. Medium to full-bodied and elegant, with a European<br />
style imposed on the rich, velvety, California fruit, this cuvee will benefit<br />
from several years of bottle age, and should easily keep for three<br />
decades.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 12/08<br />

year wine, it boasts a dense plum/purple color as well as abundant<br />
notes of licorice, black currants, charcoal, black olives, and graphite.<br />
Full-bodied, pure, and rich with moderately high tannins, it represents a<br />
California version of a Bordeaux from Pauillac or St.-Julien.” R. Parker,<br />

“The 1999 Lafite Rothschild sports an engraved “1999” on the bottle<br />
along with an eclipse to mark that significant historical event of<br />
August, 1999. It is a quintessential offering from Lafite Rothschild. This<br />
prodigious wine is both elegant and intensely flavored, and almost<br />
diaphanous in its layers that unfold with no heaviness. An opaque ruby/<br />
purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil,<br />
graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is mediumbodied,<br />
with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish<br />
that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony. This extraordinary Lafite<br />
increasingly appears to be a modern day clone of the majestic 1953.<br />
A mere one-third of the crop made it into the grand vin!” R. Parker, 95<br />

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2002<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe<br />
“A brilliant offering and a candidate for wine of the vintage, this is<br />
classic Lafite that reminded me somewhat of the 1976, although the<br />
vintage conditions were completely different. This is a medium-weight,<br />
quintessentially elegant style of Lafite with notes of lead pencil shavings/<br />
graphite along with black currants, plums, and crushed rocks/mineral.<br />
Wonderfully pure, dense, with a deep ruby/purple color and loads<br />
of fruit, definition, and a long finish, this is a brilliant, elegant Lafite<br />
Rothschild that builds incrementally in the mouth and has more power<br />
and density than it initially seems.” R. Parker, 94 pts. 04/05<br />

Dalla Valle Maya 1997<br />
Napa<br />
“Close to perfection, the saturated blue/black-colored 1997 Maya<br />
exhibits complex aromatics of creme de cassis, smoke, spice box, iron,<br />
and espresso. The wine has a viscous texture, huge, concentrated, ripe<br />
fruit, remarkable body, and a seamless, multi-layered finish. The tannin,<br />
acidity, and alcohol are all beautifully integrated. This is profound stuff!”<br />

u: top high shoulder<br />
“I had this wine twice over a period of thirty days, rating it an astounding<br />
99 and 98 points. A monumental California Cabernet Sauvignon, it<br />
appears to have approached its plateau of maturity but should easily<br />
last for 20-25 more years. There is no rust, amber, or brown to the<br />
saturated dark purple color. The spectacular, huge, Mouton-Rothschildlike<br />
nose of mint, cassis, lead pencil, and toast is remarkably youthful.<br />
Staggeringly concentrated, this full-bodied, super-rich wine possesses<br />
moderate tannin, fresh, lively acidity, and a blockbuster, rich, fleshy<br />
finish. This is a monumental effort!” R. Parker, 98 pts. 08/94<br />

“The 2007 Syrah Cumulus Vineyard is a meaty, earthy effort<br />
representing a hypothetical blend of a northern Rhone with the<br />
exuberant, unabashedly ripe, juicy fruit of California. Jus de viande,<br />
damp earth, black currant, and blackberry notes along with good<br />
minerality and an absence of oak are all present in this full-bodied<br />
Syrah. It still has some tannins to resolve, but it is a big, full-bodied,<br />
classic, promising debut effort from the Cumulus Vineyard. It should<br />
drink well for at least a decade.” R. Parker, 96+ pts. 08/10<br />

Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2005<br />
Columbia Valley<br />
“The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 3% Merlot. The principal<br />
component comes from the Champoux Vineyard (in which the winery<br />
is a partner) with contributions from the Klipsun and Taptiel Vineyards,<br />
outstanding in their own right. It, too, was aged for 22 months in 100%<br />
new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume<br />
of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black<br />
currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating, the layers of complex<br />
flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional<br />
cellaring. The oak, tannin, and acidity are beautifully integrated and<br />
the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute. Purchasers no doubt will<br />
want to try a bottle immediately but this towering effort will not reach its<br />
peak until 2015 at the earliest and provide pleasure through 2040. I say<br />
this with confidence because a 1983 Quilceda Creek Cabernet tasted<br />
in May 2008 is at its peak now and should carry on for another 10-15<br />
years.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/08<br />

flowers, camphor, sweet red and black fruits, a hint of licorice, and no<br />
evidence of its 100% new oak cask aging. Round and generous with<br />
low acidity, but an opulent, full-bodied richness that is fresh with laserlike<br />
precision, this stunning wine is just beginning to reach its plateau<br />
of full maturity, where it should remain for another three decades. A<br />

“1990: In terms of the brilliant complexity and nobility of the aromatics,<br />
scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices,<br />
the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled. It is always<br />
fascinating to taste this wine next to the 1989, which is a monumental<br />
effort, but much more backward and denser, without the aromatic<br />
complexity of the 1990. The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is<br />
currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion’s<br />
standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top<br />
vintage. While it has been fully mature for a number of years, it does not<br />
reveal any bricking at the edge, and I suspect it will stay at this level for<br />
another 10-15 years...but why wait It is irresistible now.” R. Parker, 98<br />

La Mission lies just across the road from Haut Brion. The descendents<br />
of American banker Clarence Dillon now run both properties (previously<br />
owning just Haut Brion). Given this fact, there exists an inevitable<br />
fixation to contrast the properties. Still, the arrangement between them<br />
is not really one of sibling rivalry at all. What is striking is how these<br />
wine estates and adjacent vineyards exist so close to the city center of<br />
Bordeaux (4 miles). Mercifully the unusually deep gravel soils so ideal<br />
for viticulture were never paved over! –PhM<br />

penetrating fragrance of cedar, chestnuts, minerals, and rich fruit is<br />
a hallmark of this wine. Powerful, dense, rich, and tannic, as well as<br />
medium to full-bodied, with awesome extraction of fruit, this Lafite has<br />
immense potential. Patience is required.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 10/94<br />

“This wine remains one of the legends of Bordeaux. It has thrown off<br />
the backward, youthful style that existed during its first 25 years of life,<br />
and over the last 4-5 years has developed such secondary nuances<br />
as cedar and spice box. The creme de cassis, underlying floral note,<br />
full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multilayered texture, and finish<br />
of over a minute are a showcase for what this Chateau accomplished<br />
in 1982. The wine is still amazingly youthful, vibrant, and pure. It<br />
appears capable of remaining fruity and vibrant in 2082! Thank God it is<br />
beginning to budge, as I would like to drink most of my supply before<br />
I kick the bucket. This is a great, still youthful wine, and, on occasion,<br />
one does understand the hierarchy of Bordeaux chateaux when you<br />
see the complexity and brilliance of this first-growth.” R. Parker, 100<br />

“Both the 1989 and 1990 vintages exhibit opaque, dense purple colors<br />
that suggest massive wines of considerable extraction and richness.<br />
The dense, full-bodied 1989 is brilliantly made with huge, smoky,<br />
chocolatey, cassis aromas intermingled with scents of toasty oak.<br />
Well-layered, with a sweet inner-core of fruit, this awesomely endowed,<br />
backward, tannic, prodigious 1989 needs another 5-6 years of cellaring;<br />
it should last for three decades or more. It is unquestionably a great<br />
Pichon-Longueville-Baron.” R. Parker, 95 pts. 02/97<br />

“This dark garnet-colored wine shows considerable amber at the<br />
edge. I have always had a tendency to taste this side by side with the<br />
1971, and it has been fascinating how the 1971 was fully mature at a<br />
much younger age yet continued to hold onto life without losing any of<br />
its seductive fruit and intensity. The 1970 started off life more tannic,<br />
backward, massive, but needing considerable time, and it has now hit<br />
full stride. It is a profound Petrus, and certainly one of the great Petrus’<br />
of the last half century. The wine has a huge nose of cedar, caramel,<br />
vanilla, tobacco, fruitcake, and licorice-infused black cherry jam. It is<br />
unctuously textured and very full-bodied, with extraordinary sweetness<br />
and glycerin, and a layered, viscous finish. This wine should continue to<br />
drink well for at least another 20 years.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 01/03<br />

and fruit aromas that include red raspberry, cherry, plum, violet and<br />
rose surrounded by warm soil tones that can also be found on the<br />
powerful and tautly muscled large scaled flavors blessed with ample<br />
underlying reserves of dry extract that render the relatively refined<br />
tannins invisible at present on the explosive and exceptionally deep<br />
finish where notes of citrus and floral resurface. A seriously impressive<br />

“A more deeply pitched, riper and notably more complex nose that is<br />
restrained, cool and positively gorgeous as seemingly all of the spicy<br />
elements it projects are perfectly reflected by the textured, concentrated<br />

buckets of extract that render the firm tannic spine almost invisible on<br />
the direct, frank and driving finish that is almost painfully intense and<br />
where the floral character of the nose resurfaces. A flat out brilliant wine<br />
for this level and best that de Vogüé has ever made.” Burghound, 94<br />

Cristal 1990<br />
“The 1990 Cristal is a dramatic, sweeping wine endowed with masses<br />
of apricots, peaches, flowers and minerals. A large-scaled Cristal, the<br />
1990 combines size with clarity and focus in a remarkably complete<br />
style that recalls the 1982. The wine remains generous on the palate,<br />
with stunning length and a finish that lasts forever.” A. Galloni for R.<br />

Guigal La Turque 1988<br />
Northern Rhone<br />
“Deep purple-colored, with grilled meat and smoky, barbecue-like<br />
aromas beginning to emerge, along with lavishly ripe scents of black<br />
plums and cassis, the 1988 La Turque is not quite as suppressed<br />
aromatically as La Mouline. This thick, unctuously textured, full-bodied,<br />
monster wine is close to reaching its plateau of drinkability. The wine<br />
exhibits awesome concentration, terrific purity, and, amazingly, no<br />
evidence of the 42 months it spent in 100% new oak casks. Very full<br />
and rich, and potentially the longest-lived La Turque yet made, this wine<br />
should be legendary.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/97<br />

G. Conterno Barolo Monfortino Riserva 2001<br />
Piedmont<br />
“The 2001 Barolo Riserva Monfortino flows from the glass with stunning<br />
depth and purity. This seamless, elegant Barolo caresses the palate<br />
with incredible persistence as layers of aromas and flavors develop in<br />
the glass. Stylistically it is very much like the 2001 Cascina Francia, only<br />
with more intensity, depth and sheer volume. Monfortino has always<br />
had power to spare, but in 2001 it is also incredibly elegant, something<br />
that previous vintages have only acquired with significant bottle age.<br />
This is a towering, majestic Monfortino that will rightfully take its place<br />
among the very finest Monfortinos ever made.” A. Galloni for R. Parker,<br />

Mastroberardino Taurasi Riserva 1968<br />
Campania<br />
u: all very top shoulder, light bin soil<br />
“The 1968 Taurasi Riserva is simply magnificent. Marvelously dense<br />
and ethereal, this classy, breathtaking Taurasi offers up a melange of<br />
plums, prunes, licorice, herbs, spices and minerals, showing incredible<br />
detail and tons of inner perfume. Amazingly, the 1968 comes across is<br />
incredibly youthful and vigorous. Today, it looks to be developing along<br />
the lines of the 1958, another fabulous vintage here. The finish retains<br />
very attractive elements of classicism and sheer tannic clout. The 1968<br />
Riserva can be enjoyed today, but ideally it is best opened several hours<br />
prior to being served. In 1968 the Riserva was made from a blend of<br />
vineyards in Montemarano, Pian d’Angelo and Castelfranci, three of the<br />
most renowned spots for Aglianico.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 97 pts.<br />

1998s The 2002 Roennfeldt Road Shiraz was aged in new French oak.<br />
Aromas of pain grille, truffle, mineral, violets, blackberry, and blueberry<br />
compote are ethereal and lead to a voluptuous, densely layered,<br />
succulent, complex Shiraz with 10-15 years of aging potential. This<br />
extraordinary effort should drink well through 2040.” J. Miller for R.<br />

Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc) is spectacular. I have had the wine<br />
a half-dozen or more times, and it is unquestionably opulent, sexy,<br />
flamboyant, explosively rich, concentrated, and a thrill to drink. Already<br />
gorgeous, it promises to evolve gracefully for two decades or more. The<br />
color is a healthy saturated dark purple. The spicy nose offers aromas<br />
of black currants, allspice, pain grille, and soy, with scents of a burning<br />
wood fire thrown in for additional complexity. This full-bodied, opulent,<br />
dazzling wine is exhilarating to drink.” R. Parker, 96 pts. 12/98<br />

Ullage (Level of Wine) Illustration and Interpretations<br />
For Bordeaux, Port, and other shouldered bottles<br />
n. ullage is into neck<br />
bn. bottom neck<br />
vts. very top shoulder<br />
ts. top shoulder; usual level for Bordeaux older than 15 yrs<br />
hs. high shoulder; usual cork reduction, often found in Bordeaux over 20 yrs, low risk<br />
ms. mid shoulder; variation likely as indicates cork deterioration<br />
lms. low mid shoulder; some risks, reflected in estimates<br />
s. shoulder; risky, reflected in estimates<br />
into neck<br />
bottom neck<br />
very top shoulder<br />
top shoulder<br />
high shoulder<br />
mid shoulder<br />
low mid shoulder<br />
shoulder<br />
Ullage of wines of vintages fifteen years and younger may be assumed to be of bottom neck or better unless otherwise noted.<br />
Similarly, regarding older vintages, lack of notation indicates acceptable and appropriate ullage, clear label and sound cork; potential<br />
bidders must be prepared for reasonable variations in ullage in all vintages older than 15 years. Bidders with specific<br />
condition questions should contact the Fine Wines department. Conditions generally not noted on group lots.<br />
Bordeaux wines are catalogued referencing the 1855 classification. Chateau Petrus cataloguing reflects the practice of granting it 1er<br />
Cru Classe and other notable Pomerol Chateaux are designated Cru Classe. All Bordeaux wines may assume to be chateau bottled<br />
unless otherwise stated.<br />
It is standard practice for Skinner/Lower Falls Wine to open all original wooden cases (owc) for visual inspection. The opening of<br />
banded cases will be determined on an individual basis.<br />
For Burgundy, German wines and all other more gradually slope-shouldered bottles, the ullage measurement is taken in centimeters<br />
from cork base, e.g. 3cm, 5cm, 7cm.<br />
Bottle Sizes<br />
bottle (750 ml) jeroboam (4xbt); Burgundy, Champagne demi bottle (demi)<br />
magnum (2xbt) jeroboam (6xbt); Bordeaux split (1/4 bottle) Champagne<br />
marie jeanne (3xbt) imperiale (8xbt); Bordeaux<br />
double magnum (4xbt) methuselah (8xbt); Burgundy<br />
Buyers’ Caution: Levels are as when catalogued; ullage may change due to cork deterioration; other bottle conditions may occur<br />
during storage and shipment. Risk of ullage variation and cork deterioration and/or failure is assumed by the buyer at time of<br />
sale and no sale cancellations, price negotiations, or bottle substitutions will be undertaken by either Skinner or Lower Falls Wine.<br />
Similarly, no substitutions will be made due to inaccurate descriptions.<br />
Flights of Lots: Are of the same type, vintage and bottle count and follow one after another numerically, though ullage and bottle<br />
conditions may vary. The auctioneer may exercise discretion to offer, in consecutive lot order and at that same price, the following<br />
lots in the flight to the first successful bidder of that flight. Subsequently, those lots not purchased will be offered anew and so on.<br />
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.<br />
Environmental Note: It has only been in the last 15-20 years that the wine industry has moved away from using lead capsules to<br />
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<br />
dispose of it.<br />

Collection of Wines<br />
Your Wines<br />
Lower Falls Wine Co. will endeavor to release or transport your wine to you as quickly as possible. The inherent nature of fine<br />
wine – particularly aged bottles – requires that due care be taken in its storage and transport. We request your partnership in<br />
making sure no harm arises during storage, collection or transportation. We may offer suggestions as to the best course of<br />
action to safeguard your purchase. Fees charged are only to recover associated costs and are not intended to create a profit<br />
center from the act of getting your wines to you.<br />
Pick-up of Wines<br />
Complimentary collection is available by prior arrangement only at:<br />
Lower Falls Wine Co.<br />
2366 Washington Street (Rt. 16)<br />
Newton Lower Falls, MA 02462<br />
Please schedule your pick up by contacting Lower Falls Wine Co., 617-332-3000, auction@lowerfallswine.com, or www.<br />
lowerfallswine.com, a minimum of seventy-two hours in advance. Full payment of all applicable charges must be received prior to<br />
the release of any goods. Wines will only be released to those over 21 years of age. Proof of age will be required.<br />
Issues with Regard to Transportation<br />
All bidders should make themselves aware of the limitations and restrictions imposed by various states with regard to the<br />
importation of alcoholic beverages which have been purchased at auction and transported into any states jurisdiction. All buyers<br />
have the sole responsibility to research, understand and comply with all permit or license requirements before collection or<br />
transport of purchases occurs. Neither Skinner Inc. nor Lower Falls Wine Co. is responsible for obtaining any permits or licenses<br />
on behalf of any bidder. Lower Falls Wine will facilitate, where able, in the making of arrangements for the buyer on their behalf.<br />
Bidders are strongly urged to understand the individual state statutes with regard to importation prior to participation in any<br />
auction to insure compliance with said statutes.<br />
Local Delivery<br />
Lower Falls Wine Co. will deliver for a fee inside Route 495.<br />
One case, $29<br />
Two to four cases, $19 per case<br />
Five or more cases, $14 per case<br />
Buyers arranging Massachusetts delivery outside of Route 495 should inquire as to the fees for delivery. Deliveries are made<br />
Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Delivery will usually occur within one week of your request. All fees<br />
associated with delivery must be paid in advance of delivery. We reserve the right to (re)package wines if deemed necessary for<br />
a nominal fee. Wines will only be delivered to, and must be signed for by, someone over 21 years of age.<br />
Splits<br />
Any lot that is split for either pick-up or delivery will be subject to a nominal charge.<br />
Storage<br />
Complimentary storage of any purchases will not exceed forty-five days past the auction date. All uncollected lots will be<br />
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<br />
month. Lower Falls Wine Co. will not be liable for wines fourteen (14) days after auction date.<br />
All inquires with regard to collection or delivery should be addressed to Lower Falls Wine Co. at 617-332-3000.<br />

Skinner, Inc. & Lower Falls Wine Co.<br />
Conditions of Sale – Fine Wines<br />
1. All bidders and buyers of wine must be at least 21 years of age and shall present satisfying legal documentation of this at auction. In<br />
the event the buyer is a partnership or corporate entity, the receiver of the wine shall furnish proof fulfilling this criteria.<br />
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<br />
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<br />
in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor.<br />
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<br />
commensurate with the value of such lot.<br />
3. All property is sold “as is,” and neither Skinner, Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. nor any consignor makes any warranties or<br />

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<br />

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

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

and/or Lower Falls Wine Co. a handling charge of $25.00 for any check dishonored by the drawee.<br />
7. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase<br />
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<br />
and remedies under the law including, without limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any payments made by the purchaser to<br />
the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b) offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the<br />
purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for<br />
any deficiency plus all costs of sale.<br />

price actually paid by such purchaser for such item.<br />
