"This wine has a sheeny, medium-to-dark ruby color and candied red cherries, minerals, and perfumed flowers on the nose. This complex, velvety-textured (slightly pasty), full-bodied, and jammy wine is packed with super-sweet black cherries and raspberries intermingled with stones, fresh herbs, and Asian spices. It is focused and refined and it possesses an extremely long and fruit-dominated finish."(91-94pts)

2nl, 1ll, 1lscl (Wines Located in New York)
"The massive 1994 is unquestionably the finest Dow I have tasted since the 1977. This opaque purple-colored wine is not as developed or flamboyant as Fonseca, but it is super-concentrated and multi-layered, with huge masses of fruit and some tannin in the finish. This is a slightly drier style than Fonseca or Graham's, but it appears to be a classic, majestic, enormously constituted 1994 that should age effortlessly for three decades or more. It is one of the stars of the vintage."(96pts)

In the mouth, it is pure, elegant, medium-bodied, with savory tannin and adequate acidity, and a measured yet authoritatively flavored mid-palate and finish. How encouraging it is to see this property get its act together."(92pts)

"A remarkable effort from winemaking guru Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot (33%) and a touch of Cabernet Franc (2%) was cropped at 33 hectoliters per hectare. It boasts an inky/black/purple color along with an extraordinary bouquet of white flowers interwoven with blackberry and blueberry liqueur, incense, charcoal and graphite."(100pts)

5442 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 2002
Graves
(Wines Located in New York)
"Bright ruby-red. Sexy aromas of black raspberry, smoked meat and warm stones. Dry, classic and deep, but quite closed today, even a bit youthfully austere. Finishes very long, with substantial dusty tannins and brisk acids. Much more backward today than the Haut-Brion, despite possessing a lower indice de polyphenols totaux (65, compared to 70). But both of these wines really call for at least six or seven years of cellaring."(91+?pts IWC)

"A fabulous Bon Pasteur that is even better out of bottle than it was from cask, this dense purple-colored 2000 offers up notes of smoke, charcoal, roasted nuts, blackberries and cherry jam infused with toasty oak. There is superb richness, low acidity, silky tannin, and an impressively full-bodied, muscular, chewy mid-palate and finish. This brilliant wine transcends its terroir..."(94pts)

"This estate has frequently hit the bull's eye over recent vintages, and the 2000 Montrose is the finest effort produced since the compelling 1990 and 1989. This gigantically sized, tannic, backward effort boasts a saturated inky purple color followed by a huge nose of acacia flavors, crushed blackberries, creme de cassis, vanilla, hickory smoke, and minerals. Extremely full-bodied, powerful, dense, and multi-layered, this unreal Montrose should last for 30+ years."(96pts)

This is undoubtedly the greatest Pavie Decesse ever produced and a modern-day Bordeaux legend. At one-half the price of its sibling, Pavie, it should be obvious what readers should do!..."(96pts)

"...displays more richness and unctuosity than any young d'Yquem I have tasted. It should have 40-60 years of positive evolution, although one suspects that much of the production will be consumed within the next 4-5 years. If my instincts are correct, this is the most profound d'Yquem since the legendary 1959. It may not prove as timeless as the 1975, but I believe it to be even more concentrated."(99pts)

The 1997's light gold color is accompanied a gorgeous perfume of caramel, honeysuckle, peach, apricot, and smoky wood. Full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with good underlying acidity as well as loads of sweetness and glycerin, it looks to be a great vintage for this renowned Sauternes estate."(96pts)
