1.
Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1986
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe
u: one into neck, one bottom neck, scuffed capsules
The 1986 possesses outstanding richness, a deep color, medium
body, a graceful, harmonious texture, and superb length. The
penetrating fragrance of cedar, chestnuts, minerals, and rich fruit is
a hallmark of this wine. Powerful, dense, rich, and tannic, as well as
medium to full-bodied, with awesome extraction of fruit, this Lafite has
immense potential. Patience is required. Anticipated maturity: 2000-
2030. R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/98

8.
u: bottom neck, lightly bin-soiled labels
A magnificent example of Chateau Margaux and one of the most
tannic, backward Margauxs of the last 50 years, the 1986 continues
to evolve at a glacial pace. The color is still a dense ruby/purple with
just a hint of lightening at the rim. With several hours of aeration,
the aromatics become striking, with notes of smoke, toast, creme
de cassis, mineral, and white flowers. Very full-bodied, with high but
sweet tannin, great purity, and a very masculine, full-bodied style, this
wine should prove nearly immortal in terms of its aging potential. It is
beginning to budge from its infantile stage and approach adolescence.

u: bottom neck
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 laser-
like 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
2 bottles
$1,400-1,800
12.
Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1986
u: bottom neck
Deep garnet-black colour. An incredible array of aromas on the nose:
blackberry, black cherry, tobacco, espresso, leather, black olive and
loam. The palate is absolutely seamless from first impression to finish,
effortlessly building layers of complexity in the mouth and leading to
a very long, earth and spice finish. I cant see how this could possibly
be improvement so have no alternative but concede perfection. L.

Chateau Cheval Blanc 1990
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (A)
u: bottom neck or better
One of my favorite Cheval Blancs, it remains to be seen if the 1998,
2000, and 2008 will live up to this offering. It is the ripest wine of the
aforementioned vintages, with a complex bouquet of tobacco leaf,
Christmas fruitcake, sweet black fruits, bordering on fig and plum, but
no hint of overripeness, and notions of new saddle leather, mint, and
incense. The gorgeously expressive aromatics are followed by a full-
bodied wine revealing abundant glycerin as well as elevated alcohol, but
it is not hot, and nothing is out of place. Expansive, rich, and revealing
the nuances and complexity that come from bottle age, it is at its peak
of maturity where it should remain for another 10-15 years. R. Parker,
98+ pts. 06/09
4 bottles
$1,300-1,800
20.
Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache 1990
Cote de Nuits
u: 1.5cm, slightly nicked capsule
A stunning, massive, full-on and completely classic La Tche nose
that displays almost unbelievable complexity so with many different
elements that it is impossible to even begin to describe them all; the
primary components include ethereal and still fresh pinot fruit, clove,
knock out spiciness, anise, hoisin, soy and a trace of earth but these
elements only hint at the sheer depth. The flavors are big, rich, refined,
classy, penetrating and superbly powerful yet everything is in perfect
balance and there is more than sufficient sve to balance off the still
considerable tannins. The finish is intense, pure and so long that it
is haunting; I could literally still taste this wine days later after I had it
because it had such a dramatic and emotional impact. In its youth, this
was one of the finest young Burgundies that I have ever been privileged
to try and it only seems to get better with each passing year. For my
taste, this is getting close to arriving at its peak but its not quite there
though again, I stress that this is to my taste and some may find it to
already be in its sweet spot of maturation. In short, this is absolutely
brilliant. Note that while I have had relatively consistent notes, I have
had two bottles that were a bit astringent on the finish and not in the
class of what I describe above. Burghound, 99 pts. 04/11

La Mission lies just across the road from Haut Brion. The descendants
of American banker Clarence Dillon now run 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

The 2000 La Mission Haut-Brion is certainly one of the candidates
for the wine of the vintage. Its performance was off-the-charts in two
separate tastings for this report. Deep blue/purple, with a nose of creme
de cassis, floral scents, graphite, and subtle smoke, the wine is pure,
deep, sumptuously textured, full-bodied, powerful (although certainly not
at the power level of the amazing 2009). This wine certainly transcends
its 13% natural alcohol and has the same level of concentration found
in such great vintages of La Mission Haut-Brion as 1989, 1982, 1975,
and of course, more recent efforts such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Still
young but beginning to display some secondary nuances, the wine
has enormous layers of depth as well as an unctuous texture. Even
though it is still quite youthful, I believe it will hit its prime in another
3-4 years and last 50 or more. It is certainly a wine that will likely jump
dramatically in price once the price of the 2009 is released. R. Parker,

Chateau Pavie 1999
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (B)
The 1999 Pavie is a candidate for wine of the vintage. It boasts an
opaque ruby/purple color in addition to gorgeous aromas of crushed
minerals, smoke, licorice, cherry liqueur, and black currants. The wine
is exceptionally pure and multilayered, with stunning texture and overall
balance. The tannin level suggests 3-4 years of cellaring is warranted; it
should age gracefully for 25+ years. If readers are wondering why Pavie
has become so much better under the administration of Chantal and
Gerard Perse, keep in mind that yields are one-third of what they were
under the previous owners. R. Parker, 95 pts. 04/02

Domaine Laflaive Puligny Montrachet Clavoillon 1er Cru 2007
Cote de Beaune
12 bottles
$500-700
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey On offer here is an exciting collection of
wines from an up and coming producer in the Cote de Beaune. After
the 2005 vintage, Pierre-Yves Colin founded his own micro-negociant
business in Chassagne Montrachet, where Colin inherited a portion
of his father Marc Colins estate. Seeking to produce wines with the
purest expression of terroir, the wines are largely aged in 600 liter demi-
muid barrels and are not subject to battonagethe traditional process
of rousing the lees as the wines age in barrel. These practices lead to
a vibrant, bright expression of Chardonnay and are likely borne from
Colins unabashed affection for Riesling. Take advantage of this rare
opportunity to acquire varied formats of this exciting young producer.

Paul Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle 2003
Northern Rhone
The finest example of this cuvee since 1990, the 2003 Hermitage
La Chapelle (50,000 bottles rather than the normal 96,000+ were
produced) possesses an inky/purple color as well as a tremendous
bouquet of creme de cassis, crushed flowers, truffles, and licorice. Full-
bodied and powerful (15% natural alcohol) with good freshness and
definition, this big, rich, dense, reassuringly great La Chapelle should be
cellared for 5-8 years, and drunk over the following 20-25. R. Parker,

A. Conterno Barolo Granbussia Riserva 1990
Piedmont
u: 1cm
The 1990 Barolo Riserva Granbussia is a ripe, exotic beauty endowed
with plenty of tar, roses, licorice and wild herbs. Still spectacularly rich
and intense, this full-bodied, layered Barolo offers superb length and
a sweeping finish where the glycerin and sheer weight of the vintage
come through in spades. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. A. Galloni

Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio Barolo Monprivato 2006
Piedmont
Mascarellos 2006 Barolo Monprivato is incredibly primary at this
stage. The 2006 is an explosive Monprivato endowed with layers of
ripe red fruit backed up by firm, muscular tannins that speak with great
eloquence. I expect the 2006 to go through a period of stubbornness -
as it often does - but it should begin to show well at around age ten or
so. From time to time, the wine shows glimpses of its nobility. The 2006
is shaping up to be a profound Monprivato. The only thing it needs is
time. This is a fabulous effort from Mascarello. Anticipated maturity:
2016-2036. A. Galloni for R. Parker, 96 pts. 12/10

Gaja Sperss 1989
Piedmont
u: bottom neck
The 1989 Barolo Sperss is wonderfully complete and polished, as
layers of seamless, ripe fruit emerge from its powerful frame with tons of
class. The wine reveals stunning elegance and purity wrapped around a
powerful core of Serralunga fruit that speaks volumes of the greatness
of this terroir. The 1989 Sperss can be enjoyed today as the tannins
are incredibly finessed, but it also looks to have many years of profound
drinking ahead of it. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025. A. Galloni for R.
Parker, 97 pts. 02/10
2 bottles
$400-500
63.
Gaja Sperss 1997
Piedmont
A virtually perfect effort is the 1997 Sperss (30,000 bottles), which
represents the essence of truffles, earth, and black cherries in its
striking aromatics and multidimensional, opulent, full-bodied palate. The
acidity seems low because of the huge glycerin levels and prodigious
concentration of fruit, but I suspect it is normal in the scheme of
oenological measurement. This profound wine requires 3-4 years of
cellaring, and should age well for 30-35 years. R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/01

Gaja Costa Russi 2004
Piedmont
The 2004 Costa Russi is irresistibly sexy and opulent. As is typically
the case, the wine is more overtly fruit-driven, with a round, supple
personality. Sweet, long and richly-textured, it is just plain awesome in
its display of generous, vibrant fruit, tar, smoke, minerals and herbs. It is
the finest Costa Russi yet. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2024. A. Galloni
for R. Parker, 95 pts. 10/07
1 magnum
$250-350
67.
Gaja Sori San Lorenzo 2004
Piedmont
The 2004 Sori San Lorenzo is a drop-dead gorgeous wine. It presents
awesome balance, especially in the way it marries power with elegance.
This is a remarkably refined and understated Sori San Lorenzo, with
never-ending layers of dark raspberries, licorice, grilled herbs and tar
that flow from its sumptuous frame. A dark, brooding beauty, it will
require several additional years of bottle at a minimum, but those with
the patience to wait will be amply rewarded. In most vintages I prefer
the Sori Tildin, but in 2004 Sori San Lorenzo has a very slight edge
over its sibling. It may very well be the finest Sori San Lorenzo since
the legendary 1971. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. A. Galloni for R.

Rosso Di Toscana Palazzi 1999
Tuscany
The 1999 Palazzi (800 cases of a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc and
50% Merlot) boasts a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a complex
nose of currants, cigar box, plums, and cherry liqueur with a hint of
toasty oak in the background. Full-bodied, elegant, and complex, with
a savory mid-palate and sweet tannin, it will drink beautifully for 12-14
years. This wine, in the style of Franchettis friends, Peter Sissick and
Jean-Luc Thunevin, was not fined, filtered, or stabilized, and essentially
represents the most honest/authentic essence of their vineyard. This is
the wine of a genius. R. Parker, 93 pts. 10/01

this producer, simply called Promise. About the only information on
the back label is that someone named Steve McPherson has a lot to
do with the final product, and congratulations certainly go to him. An
absolutely spectacular 2007, this wine has an inky purple color to the
rim. Gorgeously pure creme de cassis and black cherry fruit interwoven
with hints of lead pencil shavings, burning embers, and spice is followed
by a full-bodied, opulent, but at the same time, structured wine. It
seems capable of lasting 20-30 or more years. This looks to me like
a classic from Napa Valley, and although it is certainly approachable
already (as most Napa Cabernets from top years tend to be), there is
a long, long life ahead of it. This wine is just pardon the pun oh, so
promising. R. Parker, 96 pts. 12/10

BV Cabernet Sauvignon Georges De Latour Private Reserve 2007
Napa
The phenomenal 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges
de Latour is the greatest BV Private Reserve made since the 1970 and
1968. The good news is 11,000 cases were produced. The return of
this superb Napa classic is fabulous news, and the brilliance of this wine
is evidenced by its opaque purple color and its big, sweet, blackberry,
cassis, subtle smoke, graphite, and spicy oak-scented nose. Dense
and full-bodied with sweet but substantial tannins, thrilling levels of
concentration, texture, and richness, and a heady finish, this wine will
benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age, and last three decades or more.
Its time to once again fill your cellars with the BV Private Reserve, one
of the historic names in California wine folklore. R. Parker, 95 pts.

Tasted three times since bottling, the 1996 Lafite-Rothschild is
unquestionably this renowned estates greatest wine. As I indicated
last year, only 38% of the crop was deemed grand enough to be put
into the final blend, which is atypically high in Cabernet Sauvignon
(83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 3%
Petit Verdot). This massive wine may be the biggest, largest-scaled
Lafite I have ever tasted. It will require many years to come around,
so I suspect all of us past the age of fifty might want to give serious
consideration as to whether we should be laying away multiple cases
of this wine. It is also the first Lafite-Rothschild to be put into a new
engraved bottle (designed to prevent fraudulent imitations). The wine
exhibits a thick-looking, ruby/purple color, and a knock-out nose of lead
pencil, minerals, flowers, and black currant scents. Extremely powerful
and full-bodied, with remarkable complexity for such a young wine, this
huge Lafite is oozing with extract and richness, yet has managed to
preserve its quintessentially elegant personality. This wine is even richer
than it was prior to bottling. It should unquestionably last for 40-50
years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050. The wine of the vintage? R.

Chateau Latour 1996
A spectacular Latour, the 1996 may be the modern day clone of the
1966, only riper. This vintage, which is so variable in Pomerol, St.-
Emilion, and Graves, was fabulous for the late-harvested Cabernet
Sauvignon of the northern Medoc because of splendid weather in late
September and early October. An opaque purple color is followed
by phenomenally sweet, pure aromas of cassis infused with subtle
minerals. This massive offering possesses unreal levels of extract, full
body, intensely ripe, but abundant tannin, and a finish that lasts for
nearly a minute. Classic and dense, it displays the potential for 50-75
years of longevity. Although still an infant, it would be educational to
taste a bottle. R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/00

This has been a head turner since it was made. The 1985 is

melon, and fig-like fruit. This voluptuously textured wine exhibits great
length, richness, and character. It never closed up after bottling and
remains an exceptionally full-bodied, intensely concentrated, yet well-
delineated white Graves. If you have the income of a rock superstar,
this would be worth having to fete the turn of the century. Anticipated

This is a stunning Chateau Margaux, made in a sexy, up-front, elegant
style, with deep creme de cassis fruit intermixed with spring flowers, a
solid inner core of richness and depth, but again, very sweet tannins
as well as striking minerality and elegance. One of the most seductive
Chateau Margauxs given its recent bottling, this blend of 87% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest tiny quantities of Cabernet Franc
and Petit Verdot should drink beautifully for the next 25-30 years.
Remarkably, a mere 36% of the entire production was selected for the
2008 Chateau Margaux. R. Parker, 94 pts. 05/11

A magnificent sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 Duhart Milon is the
shrewd consumers wine to purchase by the case as prices do not

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. Enjoy this

Chateau Ausone 2006
One of the handful of candidates for wine of the vintage is the 2006
Ausone. In fact, while tasting it, I was thinking, is there any estate in
Bordeaux that, since 1998, has made as many legendary wines as
proprietor Alain Vauthier has at his beloved Ausone? Boasting an
inky/blue/purple color as well as an extraordinary, precise bouquet
of minerals, flowers, blueberry liqueur, and black currants, this wine
possesses fabulous fruit and great intensity, but what makes it so
special is its precision, focus, and almost ethereal lightness despite
substantial flavor intensity and depth. It is a ballerina with density and
power. The abundant noticeable tannin is sweet and, not surprisingly,
very finely grained. It should be cellared for a decade, and consumed
over the following half century. R. Parker, 98 pts. 02/09

Chateau Gracia A true garagiste effort, Michel Gracias tiny 1.9
hectare vineyard produces only a tiny amount of wine annually. Planted
on a soil rich with clay and limestone, the vineyard is 80% Merlot, 15%
Cabernet Franc and the balance is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Yields are kept extremely lowjust 21 hectoliters per hectareand the
crop is hand-harvested. Gracia subjects the must to cold maceration
before fermenting in concrete vats, and aged in new oak barriques on
lees for up to two years. In the 1998 vintage, only 350 cases were
produced, and one is offered here.

Chateau Gracia 1998

A spectacular effort, the 1998 exhibits an opaque purple color as

in addition to sweet tannin in the finish. R. Parker, 92 pts. 04/01

Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache 2007
Cote de Nuits
A reserved yet equally kaleidoscopic nose of red, blue and violet
aromas that is wonderfully broad, spicy, fresh, airy and layered leads
to intensely floral, mineral infused and focused medium weight plus
flavors that possess a strikingly attractive mouth feel and while in the
context of the pantheon of great vintages of this storied wine, the 07
will be viewed as one of the lighter examples, the focus and balance
here is nigh on perfect as the finish explodes into a hugely long finale,
all underpinned by firm tannins and bright acidity. This may seem to be
a lighter vintage but it will require at least 15 years of cellar time before
this will be sufficiently civilized to drink with real pleasure and probably
25 before its fully resolved. One other point bears mentioning: its been
a number of vintages since I last saw La Tche best the Romane-
Conti but 2007 may be one of them. Burghound, 95 pts. 01/10

Domaine 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 doesnt 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 isnt, 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. 01/08

effort and if you can find it, buy it - note however that patience will
be required as this will require at least a decade to arrive at its peak.

Its bigger sister, the 2000 Haut-Brion (a blend of 51% Merlot, 43%
Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc) showed incredibly
at the tasting, and for me is one of the three or four most prodigious
wines of the vintage. A compelling nose of roasted herbs, scorched
earth, sweet blueberries, plums, black currants, and a hint of graphite
is followed by a deep, layered, sumptuously textured, full-bodied Haut-
Brion, but one with extraordinary complexity. This wine seems more
evolved and approachable than I had expected it to be at age 10.

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.

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 robins egg blue shutters
against the limestone creates a hushes 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.

This beautiful, stunningly dense purple-colored effort (includes about
90% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers up precise notes of graphite, black
cherries, cassis, scorched earth, and minerals. Medium to full-bodied
with fabulous fruit, impressive richness, refreshing acidity, and sweet
tannin, this beauty should be approachable in 4-5 years, and last for
three decades. As Lafite Rothschilds go, this is somewhat of a sleeper

Cote de Beaune
I hadnt had this wine in almost 4 years and while it is as brilliant as
it ever was, the nose was slightly more advanced than I would have
guessed but otherwise, the nose had compelling complexity with
menthol, anise and clove notes adding nuance to the maturing white
flower fruit aromas. The crisp, beautifully delineated middle weight
flavors offer real style and breed with the same compelling complexity of
the nose and culminates in a finish of superb intensity and length. This
is a seriously impressive wine with class to burn. Approachable now but
better in two to three years. Burghound 93 pts. 05/06

Tasting note: (with thanks to David Page). An exceptionally attractive

are trimmed in noticeable wood toast and lead to rich, nicely powerful
and gorgeously detailed flavors of equally impressive depth and
excellent finishing persistence. This is a really lovely if just shy of truly
compelling Btard that is drinking well now though will continue to hold
without difficulty in this format, indeed it should be capable of holding
for another 20 years. Tasted twice with consistent notes. Burghound,

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 1989s 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

Chateau Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1982
u: one bottom neck, one very top shoulder, one nicked capsule
One of the monumental wines of the last century is the 1982 Pichon
Lalande. Since bottling, it has flirted with perfection, and was a sprinter
out of the gate, which gave rise to questions about how quickly it
would begin its decline. However, at age 27, it retains all its glossy,
rich, flamboyant cassis fruit, chocolaty, berry jam-like notes, and
plenty of earthy, foresty flavors. This is a full-bodied, extravagantly rich
Pichon Lalande seemingly devoid of acidity and tannin, but the wine is
incredibly well-balanced and pure. It is an amazing effort! R. Parker,

A Cellar with Breadth, Depth, and Play. From a knowledgeable, world

Haut Brion: 1959 vs. 1961 Like Sampras vs. Agassi, Leno vs.
Letterman, Marthas Vineyard vs. Nantucket, so too rages the debate of
1959 vs. 1961 Haut Brion, even half a century later. With two classic
vintages so close together, it was inevitable that comparisons would
be drawn. Over the years, the other first growths have settled on a
favorite: 61 getting the edge for Latour and Margaux, 59 for Mouton
and Lafite, leaving Haut Brion to settle the score. Alas, in the decades
since release, the wines have dueled to a veritable stalemate. Here lies
an opportunity to judge for yourself: will it be the seductive rich fruit and
chocolate hallmarks of the 59 or the ethereal, mysterious tobacco and
cedar notes of the 61 that takes home the gold this time?

I am always blown away by the 1959 Mouton, one of the greatest
Moutons made in the last thirty-five years. Every time I have this wine
it is undeniable that Mouton made a richer, more persuasive wine in
1959 than in 1961. Astonishingly young and unevolved, with a black/
purple color, the wine exhibits a youthful nose of cassis, minerals, and
new oak. It is exceptionally powerful and super-extracted, with the
fruit supported by high levels of tannin and some lusty quantities of
alcohol. This mammoth, full-bodied Mouton-Rothschild should continue
to evolve for another 20-30 years. It may well be a 100-year wine! R.

A blockbuster Cheval Blanc and probably the greatest Cheval Blanc
made during the sixties and seventies, this wine still has a dense, murky
garnet color and knock-out aromatics of coffee, black fruit, and spice
box. The wine is opulent and fleshy with enormous glycerin and power.
It is still very muscular, also with slightly robust tannins to shed, but this
wine seems almost immortal in terms of longevity. My best guess is
that, from pristinely stored bottles, this wine is still in late adolescence
and not yet at its peak of maturity. Anticipated maturity: Now-2025 R.

Cote de Nuits

Vibrant, pure, spicy, distinctly floral and unusually high-toned for
the vintage with big, powerful and concentrated almost to the point
of painful intensity with its super ripe, palate staining flavors yet this
remains regal, almost aloof and quite reserved on the hugely long finish.
The focus is unbelievable and while its hard to speak of subtle power,
one can sense the vibrancy and depths of reserve that are still only
hinted at now even eight years after the vintage. As seductive as the
nose is and as awe-inspiring as the flavors are, the finish lasts literally
for minutes, indeed I could still taste it the next day and Ive noticed that
this happens every time I am fortunate to have the 99. And, difficult
as it is to believe, Im beginning to think that my score is conservative.

This hasnt budged much since it was bottled and remains almost
black with a notably ripe multidimensional nose of black cherries,
spice and earth that complements well the broad-shouldered and
impressively scaled medium weight plus flavors that are robust and
overtly muscular where the finish retains a sense of robust power and
stunning length. At age 11 the 99 Richebourg is clearly signaling that
its going to require 20 to 25 years to really be at its peak. At the same
time, there is sufficient mid-palate sap to at least make it approachable
sooner, perhaps in 7 to 10 years from now. One of the great vintages
for this fabled wine. Many, and consistent, notes. Burghound 96 pts.

I have now tasted the 99 GE some seven times since my original
review in Issue 5 and it continues to improve, indeed to the point that
I have raised my score modestly. There is still a touch of new oak
framing the penetrating red and blackberry fruits, vanilla and oriental
spice aromas and it continues onto the beautifully detailed and quite
robust flavors that deliver excellent precision. This is a big wine with
richness, superb length and impressive refinement and its clear that
this will live for decades. In sum, this is very classy juice. Burghound,

A. De Luze & Fils Grand Cognac Fine Champagne Vintage
1820 In 1817, with an eye towards creating a direct link between
France and New York, brothers Alfred and Louis-Philippe established
an import agency in New York with a focus on fine produce, wine and
cognac. Alfred returned to France and founded A. De Luze & Fils in
1822 in the Grand Champagne region of Cognac to ensure that only
the highest quality products would be sent to his brother. Serving
as a negociant, business gained momentum over the years and the
company purchased their first vineyards Chateau Paveil in Margaux
and Domaine de Chaine in the Grand Champagne region of Cognac
in 1862.
The bottle offered here features the distinctive profile of the De Luze
bottle. The cognac itself is from the era of negociant bottling, meaning
that while the company did not produce the cognac themselves, it was
hand-selected as being of such fine quality that Alfred De Luze was
confident bottling it and selling it under his crest. The cognac was most
likely bottled in the early 1840s, as cognacs of Grand Fine Champagne
distinction are traditionally aged in cask a minimum of 20 years.
This bottle represents a rare opportunity to purchase on the open
market one of the oldest examples of a Cognac from this legendary
house.

2009 Bordeaux Delivered moments before we went to press, offered
here are three cases of 2009 Bordeaux. As you may have heard, 2009
is considered to be among the greatest vintages of Bordeaux. Not
of this young century, not of the past fifty years, no qualifierssimply
one of the best vintages, period. Unprecedentedly perfect weather
throughout the growing season led to outstanding ripeness, high
tannins, and high acidall hallmarks of a wine worth aging. As they
say, the proof is in the pudding and here are three cases available
for investment or for you to age and track their progress through
the decades to come. Dont miss out on this opportunity to acquire
classics in the making!

A colossal effort, the 2009 Montrose represents a hypothetical blend of
the monumental duo of 1989 and 1990 combined with the phenomenal
2003. With 13.7% alcohol (an all-time high at Montrose), it is a blend
of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and the rest tiny quantities
of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Some structure and minerality can
be detected in the background, but the overall impression is one of
massive blackberry, black currant and mulberry fruit intermixed with
forest floor, damp earth, crushed rocks and a hint of spring flowers.
Full-bodied with sweet but abundant tannin, Jean-Bernard Delmas

A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, it displays an
inky/blue/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis,
forest floor, licorice, lead pencil, cedar and subtle barrique smells.
Viscous and full-bodied, it is the most concentrated and broadest
example of this cuvee I have tasted in over three decades. It will be
ready to drink in 5-7 years and should last for three decades or more.
Consumers looking to maximize value should be checking out Duhart
Milon, as this may be the single smartest purchase in this great and
historic vintage! R. Parker, 97 pts. 02/12

Chateau Pontet Canet 2009
An amazing wine in every sense, this classic, full-bodied Pauillac is
the quintessential Pontet Canet from proprietor Alfred Tesseron, who
continues to reduce yields and farms his vineyards biodynamically a
rarity in Bordeaux. Black as a moonless night, the 2009 Pontet Canet
offers up notes of incense, graphite, smoke, licorice, creme de cassis
and blackberries. A wine of irrefutable purity, laser-like precision,
colossal weight and richness, and sensational freshness, this is a tour
de force in winemaking that is capable of lasting 50 or more years. The
tannins are elevated, but they are sweet and beautifully integrated as
are the acidity, wood and alcohol (which must be in excess of 14%).
This vineyard, which is situated on the high plateau of Pauillac adjacent
to Mouton Rothschild, appears to have done everything perfectly in
2009. This cuvee should shut down in the cellar and re-open in a
decade or more. R. Parker, 100 pts. 02/12

Leoville Las Cases (LLC) is a St. Julien in name onlynot that there
is anything wrong with that. This wine is generally quite well endowed
and possessing dramatic depth. LLC is quite a large property on the
river side of the north-south road from the city of Bordeaux. Leoville
Barton and Leoville Poyferre were cleaved off at various times in
historyfurther validation that this is a most special site (terrior in
French). -PhM

Chateau Latour 2000
The 2000 Latour (a relatively abundant 14,000 cases compared to
what they produced in 2009, 2008, or 2005) is packed and stacked.
The extremely rich, black/purple color to the rim is followed by a wine
with some subtle smoke, loads of minerals, a hint of vanilla, and plenty
of creme de cassis as well as roasted meat and a slight scorched earth
character. Broad, savory, and rich, the wine seems to be about 5 years
away from full maturity and should drink well for at least 40-50 more
years. A great effort, probably eclipsed only by 2003 and 2009. R.

Chateau Latour 2003
There are only 10,800 cases (rather than the normal 15,000-20,000) of
the 2003 Latour, a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and
1% Petit Verdot (13.3% finished alcohol). A prodigious effort, it boasts
a saturated purple color as well as a gorgeous perfume of smoke,
cedar, creme de cassis, flowers, crushed rocks, and blackberries.
Massive and multi-layered, with huge richness and low acidity, it is
about as unctuous as a young Latour can be. It could be compared
to the 1982, but it may be even more pure, at least at this early stage,
than that monumental wine. The level of intensity builds prodigiously in
the mouth, and the finish lasts nearly a minute. Disarmingly accessible
(although analytically the tannin level is high), I suspect it will ultimately
shut down, but it was performing impeccably when I tasted it. R.

Another celestial effort from Paul Pontallier and Corinne
Mentzelopoulus, the 2005 Margaux, a blend of 85% Cabernet
Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, boasts a dense opaque blue/purple color
as well as an extraordinary bouquet of spring flowers, blueberries, black
raspberries, creme de cassis, licorice, and, despite its having spent two
years in 100% new wood, only a subtle touch of toasty oak. Although
full-bodied, the wine seems light on its feet because of the silky tannins
as well as the great gravel terroir from which it comes. Beautiful purity,
length, and nobility define this modern day classic. Is it better than
the 2000, 1996, 1990, or some of the vintages from the decade of
the eighties? Who knows, but it is unquestionably one of the all-time
great wines made at Chateau Margaux. This estate has produced only
exceptional wines over the last three decades. The seamlessness of
the 2005 suggests it will perform well early, but it should last for a half
century or more. R. Parker, 98+ pts. 04/08

Its bigger sister, the 2000 Haut-Brion (a blend of 51% Merlot, 43%
Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc) showed incredibly
at the tasting, and for me is one of the three or four most prodigious
wines of the vintage. A compelling nose of roasted herbs, scorched
earth, sweet blueberries, plums, black currants, and a hint of graphite
is followed by a deep, layered, sumptuously textured, full-bodied Haut-
Brion, but one with extraordinary complexity. This wine seems more
evolved and approachable than I had expected it to be at age 10.
My window of maturity seven years ago was 2012-2040, but I would
change that to 2010-2050. R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/10

The 2000 La Mission Haut-Brion is certainly one of the candidates
for the wine of the vintage. Its performance was off-the-charts in two
separate tastings for this report. Deep blue/purple, with a nose of creme
de cassis, floral scents, graphite, and subtle smoke, the wine is pure,
deep, sumptuously textured, full-bodied, powerful (although certainly not
at the power level of the amazing 2009). This wine certainly transcends
its 13% natural alcohol and has the same level of concentration found
in such great vintages of La Mission Haut-Brion as 1989, 1982, 1975,
and of course, more recent efforts such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Still
young but beginning to display some secondary nuances, the wine
has enormous layers of depth as well as an unctuous texture. Even
though it is still quite youthful, I believe it will hit its prime in another
3-4 years and last 50 or more. It is certainly a wine that will likely jump
dramatically in price once the price of the 2009 is released. R. Parker,

The prodigious, fantastic 2003 Cos dEstournel is a candidate for wine
of the vintage. A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon (unusually high for
this chateau), 30% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, 17,500 cases were
produced from low yields. An inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by
a compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, pain grille, incense,
and flowers. With extraordinary richness, full body, and remarkable
freshness, elegance, and persistence, this is one of the finest wines
ever made by this estate. The good news is that it will be drinkable at a
young age yet evolve for three decades or more. Kudos to winemaker
Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier. R. Parker, 98 pts.

Chateau Leoville Barton 2000
I found this to be one of the more backward wines of the 2000 vintage
and gave it a window of maturity of 2015-2040 when I reviewed it
in 2003. In my two recent tastings of it, I changed that window to
2018-2050, which probably says more than the following tasting note
could say. This is a behemoth dense, highly extracted, very tannic,
broodingly backward, with a dense purple color and very little evolution
since it was bottled 8 years ago. Wonderfully sweet cedar and fruitcake
notes are intermixed with hints of creme de cassis, licorice, and earthy
forest floor. It is full-bodied and tannic, with everything in place, but like
so many wines that come from Leoville Barton, it makes a mockery
of many modern-day consumers wanting a wine for immediate
gratification. Those who bought it should continue to exercise patience
and be proud to own a wonderful classic with five decades of longevity
ahead of it. R. Parker, 95+ pts. 06/10

I have had perfect bottles of this cuvee, but, perplexingly, the bottles
from my cellar tend to be broodingly backward and require plenty of
coaxing. This huge wine is, in many ways, just as massive as Leoville
Barton, but it possesses a greater degree of elegance as well as unreal
concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice
characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors.
The tannins are still there, and, at least from my cellar, this 1982
does not appear to have changed much in the last 10-12 years. One
wonders how much patience admirers of this brilliant St.-Julien will
continue to exhibit. R. Parker, 95+ pts. 06/09

Along with the Medoc first growths, Leoville Barton, Chateau
Montrose, Sociando Mallet, and a handful of other producers, Leoville
Las Cases continues to make a wine meant for very long-term cellaring.
When I did my earlier tastings of the 2000, my projected maturity
dates were 2012-2040, but it is looking more like 2020-2050. This full-
bodied blend of nearly 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.4% Merlot, and
the rest Cabernet Franc still has a youthful ruby/purple color, notes of
graphite, kirsch liqueur, black currants, and lead pencil shavings, with
good acidity, the tell-tale purity, layered ripeness and intensity, and a
profound finish. However, with its high level of tannin and brooding
backwardness, this superb effort needs to be forgotten for up to a
decade. R. Parker, 98+ pts. 06/10

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

The first vintage under new owner Martin Bouygues, who convinced
Jean-Bernard Delmas to come out of retirement to produce this wine,
the 2006 Montrose is an undeniable success. A blend of approximately
two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, one-third Merlot, and a tiny dollop of
Petit Verdot, the most dramatic difference between the 2006, and wines
made by the previous administration is that Jean Delmas produces
wines with sweeter, silkier tannins, although analytically, they are as high
as those found in the great Montrose vintages of the past. The 2006
is extraordinarily elegant and finesse-styled, but it exhibits stunningly
concentrated, sweet blackberry and cassis fruit with hints of flowers
and minerals. Full-bodied with a savory, expansive mid-palate as well
as sweet, noble tannins, this beauty will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle
age, and should drink well for 20-25+ years. R. Parker, 94+ pts. 02/09

Chateau Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1982
One of the monumental wines of the last century is the 1982 Pichon
Lalande. Since bottling, it has flirted with perfection, and was a sprinter
out of the gate, which gave rise to questions about how quickly it
would begin its decline. However, at age 27, it retains all its glossy,
rich, flamboyant cassis fruit, chocolaty, berry jam-like notes, and
plenty of earthy, foresty flavors. This is a full-bodied, extravagantly rich
Pichon Lalande seemingly devoid of acidity and tannin, but the wine is
incredibly well-balanced and pure. It is an amazing effort! R. Parker,

Chateau Palmer 2000
One of the sexiest wines for drinking now and over the next 10-15
years is undoubtedly the 2000 Palmer. A blend of 53% Cabernet
Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, the wine has an almost exotic floral
nose, soft, undulating tannins, and tremendous opulence and flesh,
with a full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins, and loads of floral notes
intermixed with blue and black fruits as well as hints of smoke and
incense in its complex aromatics. This wine is drinking beautifully and
should continue to do so for up to two more decades. R. Parker, 95

Chateau Pape Clement Rouge 2005
Probably the greatest Pape-Clement ever made, the dense purple-
colored 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

caramelized tropical fruits, crme brle, and Grand Marnier. The wine
is massive and full-bodied yet neither over the top nor heavy because of
good acidity. With intense botrytis as well as a 70-75-second finish, this
amazing Sauternes will be its apogee between 2010-2035. R. Parker,

This is also quite reserved at present with an elegant, airy, cool and
pure nose that is kaleidoscopically complex as it offers red currant,
plum, black cherry and a panoply of floral and spice notes, in particular
violet and anise, before marrying seamlessly into mineral-driven and
alluring big-bodied flavors that explode on the powerful and almost
painfully intense finish that delivers genuinely stunning length. I love the
way Musigny can so effortlessly combine a silky palate impression with
serious muscle. This should be quite impressive in time though note
that it will need a minimum of 18 to 25 years of cellar time. Burghound,

gorgeously spicy black pinot fruit that complements perfectly the big,

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

with earthy red berry fruit aromas trimmed in a discreet touch of wood
spice that is in keeping with the austere but centered full-bodied and
tautly muscled flavors that possess at once power and detail on the
stunningly long finish. This is brimming with dry extract and so much
sap that the structural elements are almost invisible yet underneath all
the sap is the spine to allow this to blossom and develop for the next

spine is almost, if not completely masked. However, as it always does,
the tannins will come out with time and I expect that this will always
have a certain chewy quality and will require more than a decade of
time in bottle to really begin to round out. Wonderful potential but for
the very patient. Burghound, 93 pts. 01/08

than compensates. A great wine with a long future that should develop

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 2000s 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 Im 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 R.

Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee 2003
Southern Rhone
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 dont 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. 10/10

Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape 2001
Southern Rhone
Beaucastel has been on a terrific qualitative roll over the last four
vintages, and the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape (which Francois Perrin
feels is similar to the 1990, although I dont see that as of yet) is a
15,000-case blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah,
10% Counoise, and the balance split among the other permitted
varietals of the appellation. This inky/ruby/purple-colored cuvee offers a
classic Beaucastel bouquet of new saddle leather, cigar smoke, roasted
herbs, black truffles, underbrush, and blackberry as well as cherry fruit.
It is a superb, earthy expression of this Mourvedre-dominated cuvee.
Full-bodied and powerful, it will undoubtedly close down over the next
several years, not to re-emerge for 7-8 years. R. Parker, 96 pts. 02/04

2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Widely considered to be among the
greatest modern vintages in the southern Rhone, 2007 Chateauneuf
du Pape has taken the wine market by storm. A cool growing season
coupled with harsh drought and lengthy periods of cool, northern winds
led to levels of concentration rarely seen in the southern Rhone. The
end result are wines of extraordinary complexity, depth and intensity,
tempting and approachable in their youth but a patient connoisseur will
be rewarded if they can resist the urge for half a decade.

Mas de Boislauzon Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet 2007
Southern Rhone
The biggest surprise in these tastings was the phenomenal
performance of the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet.
Normally a blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Mourvedre, the 2007s
composition changed to 80% Grenache (all aged in tank) and 20%
Mourvedre (aged in small oak barrels.) This wine literally blew me
away. Since this is a PG-rated publication, I can not print my original
comments upon tasting this wine. Lets just say the exquisite aromatics
were astounding. They include creme de cassis, lavender, roasted
meats, new saddle leather, and spice box. The phenomenal aromatics
were matched by equally compelling flavors, texture, and purity. Offering
a thrill a second, this full-bodied wine exhibits awesome concentration,
impeccable balance, and a finish that lasts nearly 60 seconds. I had
a difficult time spitting out this amazing elixir, and I kept returning to
it during the course of the morning tasting just to confirm my initial
impression. The good news is about 500 cases were produced. It
should drink well for two decades or more. R. Parker, 100 pts. 10/09

Domaine Charvin Chateauneuf du Pape 2007
Southern Rhone
I believe the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape is the finest wine ever made
at Charvin. Their wines never achieve a lot of color, but this is one of
the most saturated ones they have produced. The blend from the 45-
to 50-year-old vines is 85% Grenache and the rest equal parts Syrah,
Mourvedre, and Vaccarese, all aged in cement tanks prior to being
bottled unfiltered. A terrific nose of kirsch, lavender, licorice, forest
floor, and spice box soars from the glass of this full-bodied effort. With
fabulous density, a multidimensional mouthfeel, and a 45+-second finish
this brilliant, elegant, feminine-styled wine is loaded with concentration
and intensity. Like many 2007 Chateauneuf du Papes, the extraordinary
fruit level makes it hard to resist. However, it will be even better in 3-5
years, and should last for 15-20. R. Parker, 97 pts. 10/09

Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape, Vieilles Vignes 2007
Southern Rhone
The perfect 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (tasted on
four separate occasions) is composed of 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah,
and the rest Mourvedre and other authorized varietals from 60- to
100+-year-old vines. The wine is aged in both tank (75%) and small oak
barrels (25%). Its inky/purple color is followed by a phenomenal nose of
spring flowers, creme de cassis, blackberries, boysenberries, licorice,
truffles, and spice. Displaying massive body, incredible freshness, laser-
like focus from the excellent acids, and a finish that goes on well past a
minute, this prodigious Chateauneuf du Pape is the most extraordinary
wine yet made at this estate. While accessible (as most 2007s are),
ideally it needs 4-5 years of cellaring, and should keep for three
decades. R. Parker, 100 pts. 10/09

Philipponnat Brut Clos des Goisses 1996
Mareuil-sur-Ay
One of the greatest examples of the 96 vintage, this wine has it all
with elegance, intensity, subtlety and grace, not to mention buckets of
unrealized potential that will enable this beauty to improve for at least
another decade and perhaps longer. I can only imagine just how good
this would be from magnum format! The nose is discreet, reserved and
pure with lemon, green apple and layers upon layers of fruit framed
by just the right amount of yeast influence that continues onto the
exceptionally dry and tight flavors that are crisp and refined as well
as superbly intense yet through it all there is this underlying sense of
harmony, as though all of the elements are working in concert. The
greatest wines, at least those cut from classical cloth, persuade through
the subtlest means and so it is with the 96 Goisses, which is indeed
a great wine by any measure. While it is drinkable now, for my taste
preferences a lot of potential would be left in the glass and I wouldnt
start in earnest on this for another 5+ years. Burghound, 97 pts. 10/07

There is awesome depth and richness to be found in the glass. Flowers,

almost indescribable elegance and power. Tonight the 2006 Ornellaia
is absolutely moving in its beauty and expressiveness. Vintage 2006
will go down as one of the all-time greats in Tuscany, and Bolgheri in
particular, as all of that regions benchmark wines are spectacular. The
2006 shows the intensity of the small berries that were harvested that
year, with exceptional concentration, acidity and freshness, qualities that
are precious and exceedingly rare when they are found in a single wine.
In 2006 the final blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 12%
Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Simply put, the 2006 Ornellaia is a
must-have bottle. A. Galloni for R. Parker, 97 pts. 01/10

The 2006 Sassicaia may very well go down as one of the all-time great

warm but by August evening temperatures had moderated, leaving
the fruit with a stunning combination of ripeness, perfume, acidity and
tannin. The wine is simply glorious, thats all there is to it. Layers of
dark fruit meld into smoke, leather, violets, menthol, earthiness and tar
as this profound wine opens up in the glass. The creamy, silky finish
lasts an eternity, as waves of fruit caress the tannins with breathtaking
elegance. Everything is in the right place in this magical Sassicaia. This
is one for the ages. In a word: Awesome. A. Galloni for R. Parker, 97

grilled meat, spice cabinet, espresso, mineral, wild blueberry, and black
cherry. This is followed by a powerful, masculine, intense Priorat with
gobs of flavor, 8-10 years of cellaring potential, and a very long finish.

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 Brions
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,

Completely bricked though but not browning. Fantastically complex,
warm, generous and remarkably intense aromas that are still floral
introduce wonderfully rich, equally intense mouth coating flavors of
superb length. This is very classy juice offering impressive depth and
a classic Richebourg drinking experience. There is the barest trace
of finishing rusticity though the tannins are clearly finer than either the
Ech, Grands Ech or RSV. This has always been one of my favorite
vintages for DRCs Richebourg and this bottle was in perfect condition.
An outstanding wine that is drinking perfectly. Several examples tasted
though with variable results. The bottle reviewed here is the best of

Something Special blended whisky. In 1970, the merchant was
folded into The Glenlivet & Glen Grant distilleries. More likely than
not, the firm purchased this Beaune Superior and bottled the wine
themselves, using the cask to mature their whisky. The wines were
removed from their original wooden case, wrapped in straw and tissue.

A blockbuster Cheval Blanc and probably the greatest Cheval Blanc
made during the sixties and seventies, this wine still has a dense, murky
garnet color and knock-out aromatics of coffee, black fruit, and spice
box. The wine is opulent and fleshy with enormous glycerin and power.
It is still very muscular, also with slightly robust tannins to shed, but this
wine seems almost immortal in terms of longevity. My best guess is
that, from pristinely stored bottles, this wine is still in late adolescence
and not yet at its peak of maturity. A. Galloni for R. Parker, 94 pts

Piedmont
A virtually perfect effort is the 1997 Sperss (30,000 bottles), which
represents the essence of truffles, earth, and black cherries in its
striking aromatics and multidimensional, opulent, full-bodied palate. The
acidity seems low because of the huge glycerin levels and prodigious
concentration of fruit, but I suspect it is normal in the scheme of
oenological measurement. This profound wine requires 3-4 years of
cellaring, and should age well for 30-35 years. R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/01

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

its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of sale.
