16760 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 1998 Pauillac (Wines Located in New York) "...spectacular since birth, putting on more weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored close to perfection. The spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky, mineral, and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass. The wine is elegant yet profoundly rich tannin is sweet, and the wine is spectacularly layered yet never heavy. The finish is sweet, super-rich, yet impeccably balanced and long (50+ seconds)."(98pts) 3 bottles per lot $1500-2000 16761 Château Lafite Rothschild - Vintage 2000 Pauillac (Wines Located in New York) "...has an opaque ruby/purple color, followed by an extraordinary aromatic expression of liquid minerals/stones interwoven with the tell-tale graphite notes, mulberry, black currants, caramel, and tobacco. In the mouth, it is remarkably light on its feet, but somehow seems to pack intense flavors into layer upon layer of fruit and richness that cascade over the palate. A compelling wine, with extraordinary precision, great intensity, and a seamlessness..."(100pts) 1 bottle per lot $1000-1400 16762 Château Lascombes - Vintage 2000 Margaux lstl (Wines Located in New York) "The first superb Lascombes in nearly 35 years, this generous, deep ruby/purple-colored 2000 does not possess the complexity or finesse of the 2001, but offers plenty of perfumed, smoky licorice, black currant, and cherry fruit in a medium-bodied, long, concentrated style with no hard edges. While it possesses a more muscular, tannic character than the 2001, it is clearly the finest wine made at this estate since their classic 1966 and 1970."(90pts) 1 bottle per lot $60-80 16763 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 1995 St. Julien lbsl (Wines Located in New York) "...reveals an impressively saturated black/purple color, followed by a sweet, chocolatey, cassis-scented nose with hints of hickory smoke, toast, and charcoal. The wine is low in acidity, with excellent, possibly outstanding concentration, a layered feel in the mouth which adds to the appealing texture, and a long, thick, sumptuous, tannic finish."(90pts) 1 bottle per lot $75-100 16764 Château Monbousquet - Vintage 1998 St. Emilion (Wines Located in New York) "It boasts a saturated plum/purple color in addition to an exotic bouquet of Asian spices, plum liqueur, prunes, and blackberries. Extremely full-bodied, unctuously-textured, structured, and well-defined, this spectacular achievement will drink well young, yet last for two decades..."(94pts) 1 bottle per lot $60-80 16765 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 2000 Pauillac (Wines Located in New York) "The wine offers a saturated ruby/purple color in addition to reticent but promising aromas of toast, coffee, licorice, Crème de cassis, and roasted nuts. Dense, chewy, and backward, with tremendous purity and density in addition to obvious toasty oak, it is full-bodied, powerful, tannic, and backward. Twenty-four to 48 hours of aeration only hints at its ultimate potential. This blockbuster will be exceptionally long-lived."(97pts) 1 bottle per lot $1000-1300 16766 Château Pavie - Vintage 2000 St. Emilion ltl (Wines Located in New York) "...the color is an opaque purple, and the bouquet offers up notes of liquid minerals, blackberries, cherries, and cassis intermixed with spice box, cedar, and white flowers. On the palate, it exhibits a massive display of richness and extract, yet with pinpoint delineation and vibrancy as well as a 60+ second finish, this is the kind of phenomenal wine that Perse's critics were afraid he might produce - a no-compromise, immortal wonder that represents the essence of one of Bordeaux's greatest terroirs. Life is too short not to own and consume the 2000 Pavie.."(100pts) 1 bottle per lot $350-480 16767 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 2000 Pauillac 2lstl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) "Extremely pretty aromas of mineral, blackberry and raspberry. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins..."(93pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $180-240 16768 Château Smith Haut Lafitte - Vintage 2000 Graves (Wines Located in New York) "A sensational effort, and undeniably the finest wine to ever emerge from this estate, the opaque purple-colored 2000 offers scents of tobacco, camphor, graphite, creme de cassis, and licorice. This full-bodied, concentrated effort possesses low acidity, a multi-layered texture, tremendous intensity of flavor, and a persistent finish with considerable ripe, well-integrated tannin. This is a brilliant example of equilibrium and finesse allied to considerable power and flavor."(94pts) 1 bottle per lot $90-120 16769 Château Sociando Mallet - Vintage 2000 Haut Medoc lscl (Wines Located in New York) This is a beautiful wine and certainly one of the great sleepers of the vintage. I originally predicted that this wine would be at full maturity between 2007 and 2028, but I would push that back by a good 4-5 years. Still inky/purple, with notes of acacia flowers intermixed with wet rocks, black currants, and blueberries, the wine is full-bodied, displays no real evidence of any oak, and offers up terrific concentration, texture, and length.(92pts) 1 bottle per lot $45-60 16770 Le Petit Cheval - Vintage 1998 St. Emilion lscl (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $110-150 16771 Le Petit Cheval - Vintage 1999 St. Emilion (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $80-110 _____________________________

Guigal 1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $600-800 16774 Ermitage Blanc - Vintage 2004 L'Ermite, M. Chapoutier 1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) "A compelling, profoundly great wine is the 2004 Ermitage l'Ermite blanc. This is extremely limited in availability, but the light gold color offers up a liqueur of pears, wet rocks, and honey. Citrus oil, viscosity, extraordinary richness, and acidity make this wine (like all of these Ermitages, made from 100% old-vine Marsanne) just exquisite. There is nothing like these wines anywhere in the world, and the fact that the single vineyard Ermitages are aged in 100% new oak, yet show no trace of oak whatsoever is mind-boggling."(100pts) 6 bottles per lot $900-1200 16775 Ermitage Blanc - Vintage 2006 Le Meal, M. Chapoutier 1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) "From a warmer micro-climate, the 2006 Ermitage Le Meal blanc boasts extraordinarily intense fruit, glycerin, and tactile impression. Stones, cherries, red currants, quince, and honeyed citrus are all present in this colossal wine that is unctuously textured, very full-bodied, and super-ripe and long."(99pts) 6 bottles per lot $700-900 16776 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2011 Eisele Vineyard 1x3 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) "The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is simply beautiful. It is easily one of the most complete and compelling wines of the vintage. Rich, flashy and open, especially within the context of the vintage, the 2011 impresses for its depth and polish. Layers of blue and black fruit, savory herbs, mint and licorice come together in this complete Cabernet. A model of total class and elegance, the 2011 is simply remarkable for the year. This is one of the few wines of the vintage with real potential not just for the near-term, but also for the future."(92-95pts) 3 bottles per lot $500-700 16777 Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005 1x3 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $300-400 16778 Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2008 1x3 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $260-350 16779 Hourglass Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2000 1x1 magnum owc (Wines Located in New York) 1 magnum per lot $150-200 16780 Sloan Red - Vintage 2010 (Wines Located in New York) "Dense blackberry, cedar, lead pencil shavings, cassis, espresso, white chocolate and forest floor notes are incredibly complex and inviting. Full-bodied and virtually perfect in all senses with flawlessly integrated acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood, this is a tour de force and one of the superstars of the vintage."(99pts) 3 bottles per lot $350-500 16781 Bryant Family Red - Vintage 2010 DB4 (Wines Located in New York) "...is insanely beautiful. Crushed rocks, plums, cinnamon and licorice jump from the glass from this striking, delineated wine."(94pts VM) 6 bottles per lot $750-1000 16782 Morlet Family Vineyards Chardonnay - Vintage 2011 Coup de Coeur (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $350-500 16783 Morlet Family Vineyards Chardonnay - Vintage 2011 Ma Princesse (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $300-400 16784 Morlet Family Vineyards White - Vintage 2011 La Proportion Doree (Wines Located in New York) 1 magnum per lot $90-120 16785 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2009 (Wines Located in New York) "...perpetuates the deeply toasted nuttiness, bittersweet herbal intensity, and above all chocolate and dark berry confiture familiar from its stable mates. But here there are liberal sprinklings of baking spices; headily decadent floral garlands; and high-toned suggestions of fruit distillate kirsch, framboise, sloe to add complexity and allure."(96pts) 1 magnum per lot $200-280 16786 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2010 (Wines Located in New York) "Offering up plenty of creme de cassis, coffee bean, toasted spice, pencil shavings and violet-like qualities on the nose, it has palate staining levels of extract and tannin that come through on the mid-palate and finish."(98+pts) 1 magnum per lot $220-300 16787 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2011 (Wines Located in New York) "Loaded with sweet creme de cassis, exotic spice, licorice and graphite, it's a full-bodied, elegant and classically styled effort that has nothing out of place, fine, building tannin and a rock star finish."(96pts) 1 magnum per lot $220-300 16788 1 bottle per lot $100-130 (Wines Located in New York) 16789 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2011 Galitzine Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $260-350 16790 Quilceda Creek Red - Vintage 2010 (Wines Located in New York) "Up-front, perfumed and intense, it offers up spice-laced red and black fruits, toast, cedar, vanilla and hints of chocolate to go with a full-bodied, mouth-filling and voluptuously textured palate. Lacking the polish and elegance that can be found in this estate's upper tier efforts, it nevertheless has superb fruit, ripe tannin and serious length."(92pts) 6 bottles per lot $300-400 16791 Quilceda Creek Red - Vintage 2011 (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $190-280 16792 Quilceda Creek Red - Vintage 2011 Palengat Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $240-320 _____________________________

2 bottles per lot $350-500 16795 Marcassin Pinot Noir - Vintage 2003 Bondi Home Ranch (Wines Located in New York) "The 2003 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch possesses scents of sweet currants, black cherries, and pomegranates, with tart acidity and a Burgundian-like personality. Earthy terroir notes also emerge from this full-bodied Pinot. It should drink well for 5-7 years."(90pts) 2 bottles per lot $350-500 16796 Marcassin Pinot Noir - Vintage 2002 Three Sisters Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) "The 2002 Pinot Noir Three Sisters fragrant nose of flowers interwoven with blueberries and forest floor is reminiscent of a grand cru from the Côtes de Nuit. The wine has fabulous fruit on the attack, beautiful structure, medium to full body, and a purity and almost ethereal lightness of being despite significant richness and intensity."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $320-450 16797 Marcassin Pinot Noir - Vintage 2003 Three Sisters Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) "...shows sweet blueberry, raspberry, cherry, smoky, gamy, and autumnal/forest vegetation-like notes. With superb fruit, full body, admirable richness and acidity, and a fleshy, long mouthfeel, this stunning Pinot is just becoming approachable and drinkable. It should last for 10-15 years."(95pts) 1 bottle per lot $160-220 16798 Marcassin Pinot Noir - Vintage 2004 Three Sisters Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) (94pts) 3 bottles per lot $500-700 16799 Marcassin Pinot Noir - Vintage 2005 Three Sisters Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) "Plum, sweet red and black currants, forest floor, and fresh porcini mushrooms are present in this wine, which has fabulous concentration, sweet tannins, a broad, savory mouthfeel, and tremendous length."(94pts) 3 bottles per lot $550-750 16800 Marcassin Pinot Noir - Vintage 2007 Three Sisters Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) "The magnificent aromas are centered on spicy, floral black cherry and raspberry, with a dash of porcini and toasty oak. The texture is seamless, gliding along gracefully, showing subtle hints of maturity and nuance."(95pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $400-600 _____________________________
1 bottle per lot $300-400 16802 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2003 Eisele Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) "...reveals extraordinary complexity in its floral, crushed rock, licorice, high class cigar tobacco, Crème de cassis, and Asian spice-scented bouquet. With an opaque purple color, full body, great structure, a layered, multi-textured mouth feel, and a fabulously long finish, it is a remarkable Cabernet."(98pts) 1 bottle per lot $220-300 16803 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2004 Eisele Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) "Firm, tight and well-structured, with a medley of floral, spice and dried currant and a touch of herb and cedary oak. Well-integrated, focused and concentrated, with a long, deep, persistent finish. Will reward cellaring."(95pts WS) 1 bottle per lot $180-240 16804 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007 (Wines Located in New York) "Potentially a candidate for perfection, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is the finest Bryant Family wine since the aforementioned 1997. Striking aromas and flavors of blackberries, blueberries, flowers, smoke, truffles, and sweet berries lead to a wine with profound concentration, a silky, layered mouthfeel, perfect integration of tannin and wood, and remarkable depth, intensity, and balance. The finish lasts nearly a minute."(98pts) 1 bottle per lot $320-450 16805 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994 Lake 1x1 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) "A dramatic, dark and complex California Cabernet, with a firm tannic backbone offset by lots of rich mineral, currant, earth, spice and cedar notes. Shows more tannin than the Gravelly Meadow bottling, and at this price and case production level, it will be rare..."(94pts WS) 1 bottle per lot $200-280 16806 Levy and McClellan Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2004 1x1 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) "...boasts an opaque purple color as well as an expressive nose of scorched earth, blackberries, cassis, and hints of espresso, melted chocolate, licorice, and spice box. Rich and full-bodied, with silky tannin, tremendous texture, and a profound, multilayered mouthfeel, this sensational Cabernet should drink well for two decades or more."(96pts) 1 bottle per lot $220-300 16807 Levy and McClellan Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005 1x1 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $240-320 16808 Sloan Red - Vintage 2009 2lwrl (Wines Located in New York) "...possesses lots of espresso roast, chocolate fudge, baking spice, cedarwood, incense, creme de cassis, blackberry and subtle smoke characteristics. Surprisingly soft tannins are atypical for this vintage, but they work well and frame this full-bodied, concentrated, multidimensional wine."(98pts) 2 bottles per lot $700-900 _____________________________

It is a powerful, structured Cristal layered with considerable fruit. Chardonnay seems to play the leading role in 2004, at least today. Cristal is often accessible young, but that is far from the case here. This is a serious, painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience. Readers who are willing to spend some time with the wine today will find a super-impressive, complete Cristal."(97pts) 3 bottles per lot $480-650 Download 7.47 Mb. Share with your friends:
