16584 Taittinger Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2004 Comtes de Champagne 2x6 bottle ocb's (Wines Located in New York) "...crystalline purity and sheer energy. Bright hints of lemon oil, white flowers and crushed rocks are layered into the pointed, vibrant finish."(96pts) 12 bottles per lot $1100-1500 _____________________________
1 magnum per lot $200-260 16586 Château Latour - Vintage 1990 Pauillac 3gsl, 3bsl (Wines Located in New York) "This is one of my favorite wines ever. Full-bodied, with layers of silky fruit and masses of currant, mineral and berry character. Amazing. It is a wine with perfect structure, perfect strength. It s 1961 Latour in modern clothes. It is hard not to drink it now."(100pts WS) 3 bottles per lot $2000-2600 16587 Château Troplong Mondot - Vintage 2004 St. Emilion bn (Wines Located in New York) "Aromas of blackberry, with hints of tobacco. Full-bodied, with fine tannins, good length and a delicate, fruity aftertaste."(90pts WS) 1 magnum per lot $90-120 16588 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2002 Domaine de la Vougeraie 1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York) "A discreetly oaked nose of pepper, earth and explosive black fruits merges into incredibly dense and sappy, muscular and powerful, full-on flavors that possess superb underlying material. The old vine sap and incredible depth is most impressive, all crafted in a classic style."(93pts BH) 6 bottles per lot $800-1100 16589 Clos Vougeot - Vintage 2002 Domaine de la Vougeraie 1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York) "While not invisible, much more discreet notes of toasty and spicy oak highlight pungent, high-pitched blackberry and cassis notes. The flavors though are somber, youthfully vibrant and austere with superb density. This is classic in style with a very firm finish that will require time to harmonize and soften. Still, this is an elegant, relatively refined young Clos de Vougeot with plenty of character."(92pts BH) 6 bottles per lot $600-800 16590 Corton - Vintage 2002 Clos du Roi, Domaine de la Vougeraie 1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $450-550 16591 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 1996 Clos St. Jacques, L. Jadot (Wines Located in New York) "Very saturated red-ruby. Bright, sweet black raspberry and cassis nose. Very sweet and intensely flavored, but bracing acidity gives the wine great dynamism and cut. Really explosive in the mouth. Very long, vibrant finish. Grand cru quality."(91-4pts IWC) 1 bottle per lot $100-150 16592 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2002 Les Evocelles, Domaine de la Vougeraie 1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $450-550 16593 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2005 cuvée de L'Abeille, Ponsot (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $180-240 16594 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 1990 Clos des Corvees, L. Jadot 1-3.5cm bc, 3ltl, 2stl, 2scc, 1sos (Wines Located in New York) "...scents of flowers, black fruits, and minerals. It possesses a dense, concentrated, fleshy texture, as well as a phenomenally long, lush finish."(90pts) 3 bottles per lot $200-300 16595 Billecart Salmon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1996 Clos St. Hilaire 1x3 bottle ogb (Wines Located in New York) "The 1996 had a breadier, yeastier nose, much gamier and earthier than the previous two blends. Someone hastily said, it s walking the Krug, meaning it was showing better, but I found it closer qualitatively despite the obvious stylistic differences. Its finish was also explosive and full of earth, breed and length. King Angry Ray noted, the fruit is so pure, you don t even notice the lack of dosage. The Clos St. Hilaire had the complexity of a quarry full of all types of rocks, minerals and vitamins, possessing incredible acidity, structure and length. Flavors of anise developed, and the finish gained this novocaine-like complexity in this numbingly good Champagne. I asked Ray if he thought this was better than Krug, and he succinctly observed, Just different. More red fruit here. The Hilaire more so than the first two bubblies needs time to age; they all will benefit by age, but the Hilaire seemed to be the most brooding, complex and least approachable overall."(97+pts JK) 3 bottles per lot $900-1200 16596 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2002 1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York) "...is at first intensely floral, with perfumed jasmine that dominates the bouquet. With time in the glass the wine gains richness as the flavors turn decidedly riper and almost tropical. Apricots, passion fruit and peaches emerge from this flashy, opulent Dom Pérignon."(96pts) 6 bottles per lot $750-1000 16597 Salon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1996 Le Mesnil (Wines Located in New York) "The 1996 Salon was like the razor s edge; there was so much vim, vigor and acidity here it was like being in the eye of a storm. One could see the greatness of the 1996 vintage in the Salon, which was fresh as a baby s bottom. It was white meaty underneath that 1996 greatness; so balanced, so long, so stylish and deeply penetrating. Rob gave it 6 stars. Incredible. Pure Blanc de Blanc Le Mesnil. No dosage. It was probably the greatest young Champagne that I have ever tasted."(97+pts JK) 2 bottles per lot $650-1000 16598 Veuve Clicquot Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1988 La Grande Dame ts (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $110-150 16599 Veuve Clicquot Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1989 La Grande Dame ts (Wines Located in New York) "I was very impressed by this tasty bubbly, whose balance was beautiful and character complex. There was ample sweetness to the fruit and nice citriCôtension to go with it. Very vimful and possessing great style, the '89 Grande Dame was in a sweet spot and was an excellent glass of Champagne."(93pts JK) 1 bottle per lot $140-180 16600 Barolo - Vintage 2002 Le Vigne, L. Sandrone 3lscl (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $220-300 16601 Barolo - Vintage 2004 Cannubi Boschis, L. Sandrone (Wines Located in New York) "A translucent dark ruby, this weightless yet sumptuous Barolo bursts from the glass with layers of dark ripe fruit that coat the palate with stunning grace and elegance. As it sits in the glass notes of licorice, tar and sweet toasted oak gradually emerge to complete this magnificent wine."(98pts) 2 bottles per lot $300-400 16602 Barolo - Vintage 2004 Colonnello, Bussia, A. Conterno 3lscl (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $300-400 16603 Barolo - Vintage 2004 Le Vigne, L. Sandrone 2vlscl (Wines Located in New York) "The 2004 Barolo Le Vigne is a phenomenal effort. Sweet, long and pure, it reveals an expansive core of perfumed ripe red fruit, flowers and spices. Despite its notable concentration it is made in a restrained style, showing remarkable elegance as well as harmony, with superb length and finessed tannins on the close."(96pts) 3 bottles per lot $260-350 16604 Mauro - Vintage 1996 3ts, 1vhs, 3vlstl, 1vlscl (Wines Located in New York) "...appears to be the finest Mauro I have ever tasted. A fabulously rich, unctuously-textured, thick, juicy wine with plenty of new oak, it offers jammy, black cherry, berry aromas and flavors with a touch of smoke, tar, and coffee. Huge, thick, and bursting with extraction and promise..."(92-95pts) 4 bottles per lot $120-160 16605 Rioja - Vintage 1973 Vina Real, Gran Reserva, CVNE 2bsl, excellent color and condition (Wines Located in New York) 2 bottles per lot $240-350 16606 Rioja - Vintage 1975 Imperial Reserva, CVNE 3bn, 3bsl, 2ltl, excellent color and condition (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $200-280 16607 Rioja - Vintage 1975 Reserva, Bodegas Olarra 2lbsl, 1lwrl, good color (Wines Located in New York) 2 bottles per lot $100-130 16608 Rioja - Vintage 1989 Grand Reserva, Bodegas Muga bn, sdc, nc, wc (Wines Located in New York) 1 magnum per lot $80-110 16609 Rioja - Vintage 2004 Reserva, Bodegas Ondarre (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $100-120 PARCEL LOTS 16610-16611 16610 Sardon del Duero - Vintage 1996 Pago Negralada, Abadia Retuerta 1x1 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York) "Made from a single Tempranillo vineyard, planted more than 2100 feet above sea level, the alluvial and clay soil mixture gives the wine a distinctive character. This is unquestionably a spectacular effort, displaying a saturated purple color, and a knock-out blackberry, chocolate, licorice, and earthy-scented nose. Exquisitely balanced, this full-bodied wine is crammed with fruit, yet it does not come across as heavy or overbearing. This wine has benefited from having its malolactic take place in barrel (which tends to integrate the wood into the wine earlier, and, some say, more effectively than when it is done in tank). The layers of fruit are ripe, the wine's purity impeccable, and the overall balance impressive."(93-96pts) 1 magnum per lot $90-120 16611 1 magnum per lot $90-120 1x1 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York) 16612 Grace Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994 1x3 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $500-600 16613 Stanton Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2002 (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $120-160 16614 Château Montelena Cabernet Franc - Vintage 2004 1tc (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $80-100 16615 La Jota Cabernet Franc - Vintage 2001 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) 2 bottles per lot $50-70 16616 Pandora Red - Vintage 2000 crc (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $90-120 16617 Sine Qua Non Grenache - Vintage 2011 Patine 1x6 bottle custom owc (3) (Wines Located in New York) Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2011 Patine (Wines Located in New (3) York) Above 6 bottles per lot $1600-2200 16618 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2012 Stock (Wines Located in New York) "Showing the purity and suppleness of the vintage, yet with no lack of concentration, depth or richness, it gives up fabulous cassis, black raspberry, smoked meats and violet-like aromas and flavors that continue to change in the glass. In short, it's a rock-star Syrah that could come from nowhere else."(97-99pts) 3 bottles per lot $700-900 16619 Sine Qua Non White - Vintage 2013 Resiste (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $700-1000 16620 Cape D'Estaing Reserve Shiraz - Vintage 1998 Admiral 3x1 magnum owc's (Wines Located in New York) 3 magnums per lot $180-240 _____________________________
1 bottle per lot $220-300 16622 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1970 Pauillac lbsl, lwrl, excellent color and condition (Wines Located in New York) "One of the wines of the tasting. Fresh and complex, generous in character, with lovely dried cherry and spice aromas that follow through on the palate. Full-bodied, with concentrated fruit and firm tannins, this has a long life ahead."(94pts WS) 1 magnum per lot $240-320 16623 Pommard - Vintage 2009 Clos des Epeneaux, Comte Armand 1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York) "...pure aromas of mocha, red currant, cassis, black cherry, warm earth, violets and subtle spice hints. There is good energy to the intense and admirably rich full-bodied flavors that envelope the palate with velvety sap on the beautifully balanced and impressively persistent finish. I very much like the sense of underlying tension because despite this being a big wine with plenty of concentration, the balance is impeccable and there is absolutely nothing ponderous about this complete effort."(94pts BH) 6 bottles per lot $600-800 16624 Chambolle Musigny - Vintage 2001 Premier Cru, Comte de Vogue lstl (Wines Located in New York) "Medium red. Explosive, perfumed aromas of strawberry, raspberry and mocha, with a briary nuance. Wonderfully round on entry, then a bit unforthcoming in the middle palate. But offers rare sweet for the vintage, along with superb clarity of raspberry and mineral flavor. Finishes impressively long and subtle..."(92pts IWC) 1 bottle per lot $150-200 16625 Volnay - Vintage 2002 Comte Lafon 2lwrl (Wines Located in New York) 4 bottles per lot $200-260 16626 Volnay - Vintage 2002 Clos des Chenes, Comte Lafon 2vlscl (Wines Located in New York) 4 bottles per lot $350-480 16627 Volnay - Vintage 2002 Les Champans, Comte Lafon (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $90-120 16628 Volnay - Vintage 2001 Santenots du Milieu, Comte Lafon (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $60-80 16629 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2005 Clos des Forets, Domaine de l'Arlot (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $480-650 16630 Clos de Tart - Vintage 2001 Domaine du Clos de Tart (Wines Located in New York) "Extremely ripe aromas of roasted earth, coffee, spice and intensely perfumed black cherries combine with very structured, robust, remarkably complex and precise, full-bodied, sweet, chewy flavors that seem to go on and on. But the quality that impresses me the most is with all of this muscle and power, there is near perfect harmony and balance. This should be capable of aging well for at least two decades. A great wine."(93pts BH) 1 magnum per lot $600-800 16631 Latricieres Chambertin - Vintage 2005 Drouhin-Laroze (Wines Located in New York) and mineral-infused high-toned red berry fruit aromas that are less expressive, even reserved with detailed, indeed chiseled flavors that are built on a base of intense minerality, all wrapped in a powerful and mouth coating linear finish."(91-94pts BH) 6 bottles per lot $600-800 16632 Morey St. Denis - Vintage 2002 La Riotte, H. Lignier 1lscl (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $240-320 16633 Morey St. Denis - Vintage 2002 Les Chaffots, H.

Lignier nl (1) (Wines Located in New York) (91-93pts) Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 1998 Les Vaucrains, J. Chauvenet lbsl, (1) lscl (Wines Located in New York) Above 2 bottles per lot $90-120 16635 Échézeaux - Vintage 2005 N. Potel 1nl, 1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) "Interestingly for an obviously ripe wine this remains cool and reserved with spiced wild berry fruit aromas that lead to sappy and distinctly earthy flavors that are robust and powerful with a sappy and seductive finish of considerable length. There is excellent mid-palate concentration and stylistically, this resembles the Suchots though here the wood is better integrated."(91-3pts BH) 6 bottles per lot $650-900 16636 Charmes Chambertin - Vintage 2005 Vieilles Vignes, Perrot-Minot (Wines Located in New York) "From 65-year-old vines in the highest portion of this appellation (bordering Rousseau s Chambertin), Perrot-Minot s 2005 Charmes Chambertin Vieilles Vignes offers pure, liqueur-like blackberry, black truffle and lily-like floral aromas, comes onto the palate with sumptuous depth and richness of fruit backed by beef marrow, creamy texture yet persistently fresh fruit, pungent brown spices, and amazing finishing intensity. This has what certain Australian wine makers would call "fruit weight," yet without an impression of actual weight on the palate."(94-5pts) 3 bottles per lot $600-850 16637 Aloxe Corton - Vintage 2002 Premier Cru, Prince Florent de (3) Merode (Wines Located in New York) Corton - Vintage 2002 Bressandes, Prince Florent de (2) Merode (Wines Located in New York) Above 5 bottles per lot $140-190 16638 Beaune Rouge - Vintage 2005 Les Teurons, Rossignol-Trapet 2lscl (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $200-280 16639 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2003 cuvée des Cadettes, Château La Nerthe (Wines Located in New York) 4 bottles per lot $200-260 16640 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2005 cuvée des Cadettes, Château La Nerthe (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $170-220 16641 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 1998 La Crau, Vieux Telegraphe (Wines Located in New York) "...is the greatest Vieux Telegraphe that was produced. It has taken a good decade for this wine to shed its tannins and come out of a dormant, closed period. It has finally emerged, and notes of iodine, seaweed, black currants, incense, and sweet cherries as well as hot rocks jump from the glass of this full-bodied, powerful wine. It possesses considerable elegance and purity, along with loads of raspberries and incense, in a round, juicy, rich style that is just emerging from the closet."(95pts) 1 bottle per lot $70-100 16642 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2007 La Crau, Vieux Telegraphe (Wines Located in New York) "...may be the greatest wine made at this property since the 2005 and 1998. Dense ruby/purple-tinged with an exquisite nose of salty sea breezes, licorice, ground pepper, jammy black cherries, black currants, figs, and plums, this is a full-bodied, rich, Provencal-styled offering with lots of sweet, ripe tannin. It is surprisingly accessible for a Vieux Telegraphe (this wine normally shuts down several years after bottling), but it should have great longevity (25+ years) given its power, full-bodied mouthfeel, and enormous length and richness."(96+pts) 6 bottles per lot $300-420 16643 Barolo - Vintage 2001 Monprivato, G. Mascarello 4nl, 1lscl (Wines Located in New York) "A light to medium red, represents the highest level of elegance, with a captivating nose of roses, tar, orange peel, cinnamon and licorice, followed by layers of sweet dark fruit and minerals that evolve in a never-ending counterpoint of aromas and sensations, with much depth, precision and freshness on the finish. Everything is perfectly in balance here still my guess is that this great wine is showing only a hint of its potential. It is one of the finest Monprivatos in recent memory and a wine no one who is passionate about Barolo should be without."(95pts) 6 bottles per lot $700-900 16644 Barolo - Vintage 2007 Bric del Fiasc, P. Scavino (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $450-600 16645 Barolo - Vintage 2004 Ornato, Pio Cesare 1ltl (Wines Located in New York) (94pts) 6 bottles per lot $300-420 16646 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2007 Valdicava (Wines Located in New York) The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is gorgeous. Dark red cherries, plums, spices, leather and tobacco wrap around the palate as this dense, powerful wine starts to open up. Expressive aromatics are woven throughout, giving the 2007 a measure of polish and sophistication that is not always present in this wine when it is young. Finessed, suave tannins reinforce an impression of elegance. The 2007 can be enjoyed with minimum cellaring, but it will also age gracefully for many years.(95 pts) 6 bottles per lot $500-650 Download 7.47 Mb. Share with your friends:
