"The 1962 had a super sweet, long nose that was very plummy, chocolaty, figgy and a touch yeasty. There were nice dusty flavors, and the 62 was along the lines of the 66 stylistically in the mouth, but it had some shreds of fruit left, a pat of nice cassis left in its round and smooth palate. It got a little limey in the glass, but not negatively."(91pts JK)

Clos des Papes, P. Avril
(Wines Located in New York)
"It exhibits what is probably the deepest color I have ever seen here, and the finished alcohol is a high (for Clos des Papes) 15.5%. Still slightly restrained because of its recent bottling, but wow, what potential complexity, mind-boggling richness, and compelling flavor profile are apparent. It is a sublime expression of the art of winemaking as evidenced by its dense purple color and big, sweet kiss of kirsch, framboise, blackberries, licorice, roasted herbs, and smoked meat. It hits the palate with a fascinating combination of substance, power, full-bodied authority yet extraordinary freshness, elegance, and precision."(99+pts)

"A blend of approximately 85% Grenache, 8-9% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre and other varietals from 50-100+ year old vines aged in foudre, it exhibits a dense plum/purple color along with a big, sweet bouquet of beef blood, grilled herbs, barbecue smoke, lavender, sweet cassis and kirsch and a hint of Asian soy. The wine possesses a fabulous texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a seamless integration of tannin, acidity and alcohol."(95pts)

16852 Harlan Estate Red - Vintage 2004

"...probably the most precocious and accessible Harlan Estate that this perfectionist team has made. Already compelling, the wine has notes of roasted coffee, charcoal, blackberry, spring flowers, and some background sweet, toasty notes. Dense, fleshy, exuberant, even flamboyant by the standards of Bill Harlan, this wine exhibits no jaggedness or rough edges, has relatively high tannins, but they melt away on the palate. The wine is sensationally well-endowed, long, and rich a tour de force in winemaking. They can do no wrong at Harlan..."(98pts)

(Wines Located in New York)
"...dark ruby/garnet color is followed by a super bouquet. There are huge aromas of chocolate, spicy new oak, herbs, cassis and tobacco in this beautifully scented wine. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, voluptuous, spicy, and crammed with fruit, glycerin, and enough tannin to support 15-16 years of cellaring. Like the 1986, the tannins are soft, and, fortunately, the acids are not shrill enough to prevent immediate drinkability. This is a skillfully made, complex Cabernet Sauvignon that will not linger long on retailers' shelves."(93pts)

Less muscular and concentrated than the 1991, it is a superb expression of a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon."(93pts)

Vieilles Vignes, Fourrier

"Deep red-ruby. Highly nuanced nose hints at cherry, minerals and smoke. Suave on entry, then silky and wonderfully sweet, but less showy today than the Clos Saint-Jacques. Seems rather youthfully unevolved on the back half, and dominated by its firm structure."(93+?pts IWC)

This is my kind of wine and when a great Chevalier is "on", there is literally nothing like it. Wow."(95pts BH)

Le Vieux Donjon
(Wines Located in New York)
"Possesses all the appellation's classic components ... underbrush, garrigue, licorice, pepper, lavender, sweet black cherries, and incense. Extremely perfumed and heady, this full-bodied, moderately tannic offering comes close to matching the mass and blockbuster power of the 1998. Firm tannin in the finish suggests a long aging curve."(91pts)

Le Vieux Donjon
(Wines Located in New York)
"The dark plum/purple-colored 2001 boasts a huge, Proven al-styled bouquet of ground pepper, lavender, roasted herbes de Provence, beef blood, and cranberry as well as black cherry liqueur. This perfumed effort exhibits sweet, broad, full-bodied flavors, moderately high tannin, and admirable density and chewiness. There are also hints of underbrush, new saddle leather, incense, and black fruits."(93pts)

Le Vieux Donjon
(Wines Located in New York)
"The powerful 2003 Châteauneuf-du-Pape comes closest in character to the 1990 (which is still drinking beautifully). Its dark ruby/plum/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of resiny pine forest interwoven with Crème de cassis, black cherries, melted licorice, and smoky herbs. In the mouth, gamy, meaty flavors emerge along with black currants, cherries, and a hint of the sushi wrapper called nori."(94pts)

16878 Côte Rôtie - Vintage 1998
Ogier
(Wines Located in New York)
"Ogier's regular cuvée of Côte Rôtie sees about 25-30% new oak. It spends 18 months in barrel, and over 70% of the grapes emerge from their holdings on the Côte Blonde. The 1998 Côte Rotie exhibits scents and flavors of charred earth, smoke, minerals, and cassis. The wine is full-bodied, rich, and dense, with abundant tannin in the finish."(90pts)
4 bottles per lot $240-320
16879 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2001
Clos des Papes, P. Avril
(Wines Located in New York)
"A blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourv dre, 10% Syrah, and 5% Counoise, all aged in large wood foudres prior to being bottled without filtration, was produced from low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a sweet bouquet of figs, raspberries, new saddle leather, autumnal forest floor, and resiny notes. Full-bodied with beautiful purity as well as a strikingly rich mouthfeel, this seriously endowed Châteauneuf admirably conceals its 14.5% alcohol. A structured finish and impressive extract levels suggest considerable longevity. This firmly tannic, intensely concentrated 2001 boasts great aromatic and palate presence, but it remains young and unevolved."(95pts)

Tardieu-Laurent
(Wines Located in New York)
"The 1997 Hermitage (13.7% alcohol) is a blend from such vineyards as Le Meal, Les Greffieux, Les Dionnieres, and Beaumes. It is a candidate for the finest Hermitage of the vintage, possibly rivaling those of Jaboulet and Chapoutier. The color is a saturated black/purple. The wine reveals a Richebourg-like, floral, violet complexity intermixed with jammy cassis, blackberries, and cherries. Dense, exceptionally full-bodied, massive, unctuous, and pure, this is a huge Hermitage with a blockbuster finish. Any evidence of tannin and new barriques are submerged behind the wine's texture and extraordinary fruit extraction. Amazing!"(94-96pts)

16882 Barolo - Vintage 1990
Bricco Rocche Brunate, Ceretto
(Wines Located in New York)
"The silkiness of Castiglione Falletto is felt in the elegant, finessed tannins, while the warmth of the vintage comes through on the generous, balsamic finish. The 1990 Bricco Rocche requires considerable aearation before its qualities emerge, but when they do the wine is brilliant. "(91pts)
