5471 Ermitage - Vintage 1998 Le Meal, M. Chapoutier 2vlscl (Wines Located in New York) "The 1998 Ermitage Le Meal rouge represents the essence of Hermitage - a wine of elegance, power, symmetry, and extraordinary purity. Aromas and flavors of black and red fruits as well as liquid granite emerge in this superb, multi-layered wine of fabulous intensity and length. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. The tannin is high, and a decade of cellaring is warranted. This 1998 will last for half a century."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $300-400 5472 Ermitage - Vintage 1996 Le Pavillon, M. Chapoutier lbsl (Wines Located in New York) "... offers an amazingly opaque black/purple color, and a wonderful sweet nose of Asian spices, roasted meats, blackberries, cassis, smoke, hickory, and truffles. The wine possesses sensational texture and length, awesome richness, and a full-bodied, massive personality with no hard edges. It is another great Pavillon that is once more a candidate for perfection."(96pts) 1 bottle per lot $85-110 5473 Ermitage - Vintage 1999 Le Pavillon, M. Chapoutier 1vlstl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York) "...boasts Crème de cassis aromatics intermixed with unmistakable aromas of ink. It is full-bodied and fabulously concentrated as well as powerful, with a finish that lasts for fifty seconds. This saturated black/purple-colored 1999 exhibits remarkable symmetry, purity, and overall massive size all juxtaposed with a sense of elegance and restraint."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $200-280 5474 Hermitage - Vintage 1998 La Chapelle, P. Jaboulet lbsl, nl (Wines Located in New York) "What a great wine. Full-bodied, with crushed berry, smoke and grilled aromas, all presented quite subtly. Stands out for its natural, down-to-earth taste of clean, pure, shining fruit. A pleasure to drink. Tempting now. Best from 2003 through 2015."(96pts WS) 1 bottle per lot $75-100 5475 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1998 cuvée de Mon Aieul, P. Usseglio ltl, sdc (Wines Located in New York) "Made from 85-year old Grenache vines (the blend is 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 10% Cinsault from 65-year old vines), this is one of the vintage's superstars. Its opaque purple/black color and structure have more in common with a powerful Hermitage than Châteauneuf du Pape. The wine is tight and backward, but crammed with fruit, glycerin, and character. Moderately tannic and massive in the mouth, this pure Châteauneuf represents the essence of old vine Grenache. It is an example of what profound heights Châteauneuf du Pape can attain."(98pts) 1 bottle per lot $75-100 5476 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2000 Reserve des Deux Freres, P. Usseglio (Wines Located in New York) "Its inky purple color is accompanied by succulent aromas of blackberry, cherry, and raspberry liqueur interwoven with licorice, mineral, and acacia flower characteristics. Fabulously concentrated and full-bodied, with a voluptuous texture, sweet tannin, and a flamboyant and accessible personality, this prodigious, majestic Châteauneuf-du-Pape needs to be tasted to be believed."(98pts) 1 bottle per lot $90-120 5477 Hermitage - Vintage 1999 cuvée Emilie, Remizieres 1wc, different importers (Wines Located in New York) "...is a candidate for the "Hermitage of the vintage." About 70% of the grapes for this cuvée emerge from old vines located in L'Hermite (on the crown of the great dome of Hermitage) and the remainder from Les Rocoules. This extraordinarily intense offering boasts an opaque black/purple color (reminiscent of a cult Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa) as well as a sumptuous nose of sweet blackberry liqueur intermixed with espresso, licorice, tobacco, minerals, and toast. There is massive flavor concentration, multiple layers, full body, purity, and beautifully integrated acidity and tannin."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $100-130 5478 Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese - Vintage 1999 A.

Fantastic aromas of blackberries, flowers and minerals. Captivating. Full-bodied, with incredible layers of ripe fruit and silky tannins. The finish last for minutes. Racy and firm..."(97pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $150-200 5481 Solaia - Vintage 2003 Antinori 1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) "Fantastic aromas of crushed blackberry, licorice and strawberry. Full-bodied, with rich, velvety tannins and a long, fruity finish. Fruit-forward and exciting. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc."(95pts WS) 6 bottles per lot $750-1000 5482 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 1997 Tenuta Nuova, Casanova di Neri (Wines Located in New York) "Dark ruby. Wonderful aromas of crushed berry, fresh flowers and red licorice. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish.

Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Needs some time to mellow."(92pts WS) 5 bottles per lot $500-650 5488 Termanthia - Vintage 2000 Toro (Wines Located in New York) 2 bottles per lot $60-80 5489 Vega Sicilia Unico - Vintage 1970 bn, outstanding color and condition (Wines Located in New York) "The nose offers up smashingly intense aromas of lavishly-oaked, but gorgeously pure black-cherries and currants. The wine is full-bodied, and nearly sweet tasting because of the fruit's exceptional ripeness. Expansive and deep, with the wood, tannin, and acidity nearly masked by the sheer quantity of fruit, the 1970 Vega Sicilia Unico is a velvety-textured, seamless, rich, profound wine that is more approachable than the 1968, yet, along with that legendary wine, remarkably fresh and youthful. It is astonishing that a twenty-five year old wine could look, smell, and taste so young, yet also be so complex. No one knows how Vega Sicilia achieves such brilliance, but the proof is in the bottle."(96pts) 1 bottle per lot $550-750 5490 Ribera del Duero - Vintage 1994 cuvée Janus, Pesquera vhs, lwrl, sos (Wines Located in New York) "...may be the greatest Pesquera ever made. This wine is awesome in its richness, intensity, and potential complexity. It is a gentle giant, with no hard edges, and profound levels of rich, concentrated black fruits nicely meshed with smoky, spicy new oak."(97pts) 1 bottle per lot $120-160 5491 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001 Thorevilos lscl (Wines Located in New York) "One could say this is world-class, but it's really all-universe. A tour de force in winemaking, with notes of blueberry liqueur intermixed with subtle white chocolate, espresso roast, cassis, blackberry and perfumed, floral notes, it is full-bodied, with great flavor purity, a skyscraper-like texture, and a remarkable finish, with a seamless integration of all component parts. This is extraordinary wine that everyone who loves wine should at least taste once or twice in their lifetime. "(100pts) 1 bottle per lot $450-600 5492 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007 Thorevilos lscl (Wines Located in New York) "...is monumental, and stands out as one of the most singular and greatest Napa red wines I have ever tasted. An expansive fragrance of subtle barbecue smoke intermixed with graphite, blueberries, espresso, white chocolate and a liqueur of rocks soars from the glass of this full-bodied, prodigious effort. It has the texture of a skyscraper yet never becomes heavy or overbearing."(100pts) 1 bottle per lot $500-650 5493 Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2004 (Wines Located in New York) 5 bottles per lot $100-120 5494 B.V.

This brilliantly made, super-concentrated, pure, blockbuster possesses sweet tannin as well as a terrific finish."(98pts) 2 bottles per lot $260-320 5502 Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001 (Wines Located in New York) "One might call the opaque purple-colored 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate locked and loaded. Fashioned from a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc (which saw about 25% new oak), it exhibits a tremendously pure, but tightly-knit bouquet of Crème de cassis, leather, forest floor, minerals, and licorice. Dense, with layer upon layer of concentrated black fruits intermixed with spice and wood, it displays full body, great purity, low acidity, and a solid lashing of heavy duty tannin in the blockbuster finish. It s great stuff..."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $110-150 5503 Dalla Valle Red - Vintage 1998 Maya (Wines Located in New York) "A blue-blooded wine ripe, rich, and exotic vanilla, chocolate, blueberry and espresso aromas with plum in the background most powerful wine of the evening but still retained a gorgeous finesse some nuttyness and a hot finish with great stone and spice flavors definitely a wine in 3rd gear."(96pts JK) 1 bottle per lot $220-300 5504 Dalla Valle Red - Vintage 1999 Maya (Wines Located in New York) "...a wine of stupendous unctuosity, richness, fruit, and elegance. It is remarkable that the Cabernet Franc grown in these red volcanic soils can produce wines of such intensity as well as elegance. Notes of cassis, blueberries, blackberries, espresso, smoke, earth, and vanilla are offered in a full-bodied, profoundly concentrated and layered style."(97pts) 1 bottle per lot $320-400 5505 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1998 Gravelly Meadow (Wines Located in New York) (1) Red Rock Terrace (Wines Located in New York) (1) Volcanic Hill (Wines Located in New York) (1) Above 3 bottles per lot $120-170 5506 Dominus - Vintage 2004 (Wines Located in New York) "...exhibits a big, sweet, cedary, roasted herb, mocha, black cherry liqueur, black currant, and earth-scented perfume. Medium to full-bodied with silky tannin as well as a luscious mouthfeel and finish, it should be more accessible in its youth than many of its predecessors, but easily last for two decades."(94pts) 1 bottle per lot $110-150 5507 Dominus - Vintage 2005 (Wines Located in New York) "...continues to strut its stuff, tasting like a Napa hybrid blend of a St.-Emilion and Pomerol. Its dark ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by notions of cedarwood, spice box, roasted herbs, sweet black cherry and cassis fruit, licorice, and truffles."(95+pts) 1 bottle per lot $110-150 5508 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1986 Howell Mountain wxc, scrc (Wines Located in New York) "The opaque purple-colored 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain offers awesome richness, mindboggling intensity, huge tannin, a massive mouthfeel..."(95pts) 1 bottle per lot $120-150 5509 Etude Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1997 (Wines Located in New York) "The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon is a richer, more expansive example than the 1997 Eden Rock, with an opaque purple color, graceful, creamy-textured black currant flavors, and subtle notes of toasty oak. Expressive aromatically (black fruits galore) and full-bodied, it possesses the vintage's tell-tale silkiness and depth. Because of its low acidity and ripe personality, it should drink well upon release and last for two decades."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $60-80 5510 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2010 (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $50-65 5511 Fisher Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999 Coach Insignia (Wines Located in New York) 2 bottles per lot $80-100 5512 Fisher Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1997 Wedding Vineyard 3lscl (Wines Located in New York) "...palate staining thickness, an unctuous texture, and the sweet, ripe tannin that makes this vintage similar to 1994. Soaring aromatics consist of jammy blackberries, blueberries, cassis, and violets as impressive as any Wedding Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon I have yet tasted. Stay tuned!..."(99pts) 3 bottles per lot $300-420 5513 Grace Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007 Blank Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $80-110 5514 Groth Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2006 (Wines Located in New York) 2 bottles per lot $60-80 5515 Hall Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2010 lbsl (Wines Located in New York) (1) Hall Merlot - Vintage 2009 lbsl (Wines Located in New York) (1) Napa Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2002 (Wines Located in New York) (1) Above 3 bottles per lot $70-90 5516 Harlan Estate Red - Vintage 1997 (Wines Located in New York) "The 1997 Harlan Estate is one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines I have ever tasted. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this enormously-endowed, profoundly rich wine must be tasted to be believed. Opaque purple-colored, it boasts spectacular, soaring aromatics of vanilla, minerals, coffee, blackberries, licorice, and cassis. In the mouth, layer after layer unfold powerfully yet gently. Acidity, tannin, and alcohol are well-balanced by the wine's unreal richness and singular personality. The finish exceeds one minute."(100pts) 1 bottle per lot $800-1100 5517 Heitz Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1985 Martha's Vineyard vhs, sdc (Wines Located in New York) "...explosive richness and ripeness, as well as gobs of sweet fruit presented in a full-bodied, powerful style."(94pts) 1 bottle per lot $240-320 5518 Heitz Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1996 Martha's Vineyard 1vlstl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) "As distinctive as they come.

However, the tannins are ripe and sweet. This should turn out to be a dazzling example of Cabernet Sauvignon, but I suspect it will age at a glacial pace."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $110-150 5520 Levy and McClellan Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007 Ampersand (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $100-120 5521 Merryvale Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999 Profile 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) 2 bottles per lot $60-80 5522 Merryvale Red - Vintage 1997 Profile lwrl (Wines Located in New York) "Massive, with wonderful richness, depth and concentration, this Cabernet blend has layers of complex currant, black cherry, plum, vanilla and blackberry and a long, detailed, firmly tannic finish."(97pts WS) 1 bottle per lot $60-80 5523 Pahlmeyer Red - Vintage 1997 2vlscl (Wines Located in New York) "...flirts with perfection. This wine shares some of the chocolatey characteristics of the two Merlot vintages, but there is more cassis liqueur, blackberries, blueberries, and pain grille (toast) notes in this lavishly rich, flamboyant proprietary red. The wine's flavors lingered for 42 seconds on the palate. Full-bodied, marvelously concentrated, and extremely well-balanced, this wine's acidity, tannin, and high alcohol are completely buried beneath the complex fruit and extract of this profound offering. I remember shaking my head in disbelief at the quality of these wines."(98pts) 3 bottles per lot $450-600 5524 Peter Michael Red - Vintage 1999 Les Pavots (Wines Located in New York) "Deliciously rich, smooth and polished.

Full-bodied, with fabulous extract and power, the acidity, tannin, and potentially harsh components are well-meshed with the wine's personality. This is a large, ripe, impeccably balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that achieved 14.1% alcohol naturally."(91-93pts) 1 bottle per lot $50-70 5527 Quintessa - Vintage 1999 lscl (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $55-75 5528 Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1996 2lbsl (Wines Located in New York) "Rich and complex yet restrained in style, with pretty coffee, currant, black cherry, spice and anise flavors that fan out nicely, this California Cabernet turns particularly elegant and polished on the long finish."(95pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $120-160 5529 Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1998 1ltl, 1lwisl, 1vlscl (Wines Located in New York) 4 bottles per lot $160-240 5530 Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999 6lbsl, 3nl, 1lwisl (Wines Located in New York) "An enormously complex and sophisticated wine that combines great flavors with uncommon finesse.

Tremendous finish."(94pts WS) 6 bottles per lot $180-240 5531 Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007 lscl (Wines Located in New York) "...is another outstanding effort revealing notes of spring flowers, toasty oak, creme de cassis, licorice, and graphite. One would have to go back to the 1990, 1991, 2001, or 2002 to find a Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve this impressive."(95+pts) 1 bottle per lot $80-110 Download 5.82 Mb. Share with your friends:
