17521 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2004 Riserva, Poggio di Sotto (Wines Located in New York) The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a stunning wine that captures every bit of the potential I sensed when I first tasted it from barrel a few years ago. Freshly cut roses, red berries, minerals, and mint are just some of the nuances that emerge from this layered, sensual wine.(97pts) 1 bottle per lot $100-130 17522 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2005 Riserva, Poggio di Sotto (Wines Located in New York) (96pts) 2 bottles per lot $220-300 17523 1 bottle per lot $110-150 (Wines Located in New York) 17524 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2008 Riserva, Poggio di Sotto (Wines Located in New York) I am quite enamored of the 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva that boasts beautiful floral notes that are both rare and precious. At the back of those feminine, somewhat ethereal tones are grounded aromas of spice, crushed terracotta and balsam herb. This wine impresses for the direct and pristine perspective it offers on the grape, that is already showing tiny steps toward tertiary complexity. The wine is at a very interesting point in its drinking window right now, and will continue its careful evolutionary course with a few more years of bottle rest.(93pts) 1 bottle per lot $80-110 17525 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2003 Valdicava (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $350-480 17526 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2006 Valdicava (Wines Located in New York) The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino flows with gorgeous layers of dark red fruit. This is one of the more muscular, virile wines of the vintage. Slow to reveal its character, the Valdicava Brunello will require significant patience, but I have seen the wine blossom beautifully, even in the smallest of vintages. A blast of iron, smoke, tar, licorice and new leather inform the deep, intense finish. This is a hugely promising, brilliant Brunello from proprietor Vincenzo Abbruzzese, but it needs to be buried in the cellar for at least a few years...(95pts) 2 bottles per lot $150-200 17527 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) 2 bottles per lot $160-220 17528 Brunello di Montalcino - Vintage 2006 Madonna del Piano, Riserva, Valdicava (Wines Located in New York) "...is a huge, towering wine. Waves of vibrant, intensely perfumed fruit hit the palate, backed up by the firm, broad tannins of the vintage. Violets, spices, new leather and licorice develop in the glass, yet the 2006 remains painfully young and stubborn. Clean mineral notes frame a blast of dark cherries, plums and camphor on the palate-staining finish."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $350-500 17529 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1995 (Wines Located in New York) "...has come of age now that it is in the bottle. This is the essence of North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, offering port-like thickness and richness, a superb black currant, mineral, cedar, and pain grille-scented nose, full-bodied flavors of extraordinary intensity and overall balance, and a long, moderately tannic, multidimensional finish."(98pts) 1 bottle per lot $150-200 17530 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1996 (Wines Located in New York) "...is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Opaque purple-colored, with a profound bouquet of minerals, flowers, black fruits, and spice, this awesomely concentrated, multi-layered wine represents the essence of Cabernet Sauvignon. Amazingly, it is neither ponderous nor heavy handed, with the oak, acidity, and tannin woven into the wine's formidable, concentrated personality."(99pts) 1 bottle per lot $150-200 17531 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1997 (Wines Located in New York) "While only microscopic quantities were produced of this wine, It is an immense wine of extraordinary concentration and depth. Amazing, the 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve pushes richness to unreal levels. Despite its intense, full-bodied, ultra-concentrated style, it possesses a sense of balance and definition."(97pts) 1 bottle per lot $160-220 PARCEL LOTS 17532-17533 17532 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001 (Wines Located in New York) "A potentially perfect wine, which is in bottle after having spent 30 or so months in a combination of old and new oak. The practice under Bob Foley is to first keep the wines in neutral wood as the selections are made for the different cuvées and then, once made, move the wines into new oak until bottling. The 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (a 1,300-case blend of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 27 months in oak) offers gorgeously fresh, lively, but super-concentrated fruit. Inky blue/purple to the rim, with a spectacular nose of creme de cassis, licorice, camphor, and a hint of vanilla, this wine is sensationally rich, has remarkable intensity, a multi-dimensional palate, and fabulous concentration and depth. It needs another 1-3 years of bottle-age, and should easily and effortlessly evolve for 20 or more years."(99pts) 1 magnum per lot $300-400 17533 1 magnum per lot $300-400 (Wines Located in New York) 17534 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2005 (Wines Located in New York) "...is impressive. Its inky/purple hue is accompanied by aromas and flavors of incense, pain grille, blackberries, blueberries, and cassis. It is a rich, dense, full-bodied, pure, layered effort that should drink well for 15 or so years."(96-8pts) 3 bottles per lot $350-480 17535 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2006 (Wines Located in New York) "...reveals abundant notes of licorice, creme de cassis, unsmoked high class cigar tobacco, and toasty oak. Full-bodied with fabulous depth, richness, and texture as well as a multilayered mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and loads of potential, this stunning wine is capable of lasting 15-20 years."(98pts) 1 bottle per lot $100-130 17536 Pride Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2007 (Wines Located in New York) "The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a slightly more brooding and formidably endowed effort displaying more extract, tannin and structure. In spite of its massive size, concentration and extract, it possesses gorgeously sweet tannins as well as a sense of equilibrium. This powerhouse will benefit from another 1-3 years of bottle age and should keep for 15 or more years."(95+pts) 9 bottles per lot $900-1200 _____________________________

The wine exhibits an unformed but gloriously sweet nose of black fruits, minerals, lead pencil, licorice, and vanilla.
