1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)
"Lafite's severe selection process (42% made it into the grand vin) resulted in a full-bodied wine boasting an extraordinary perfume of charcoal, truffles, lead pencil shavings, and sensationally sweet, ripe black currant and cedar notes. A wine of extraordinary intensity, texture, and depth with silky tannins as well as awesome concentration, this has turned out to be a remarkable Lafite Rothschild that should be drinkable much earlier than the 2005, but age for three decades."(97pts)

Pauillac
1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)
"...is an absolutely brilliant wine, and somewhat reminiscent at this stage in its development of the profound 1989. Jean-Charles Cazes, who took over for his father a number of years ago, has produced a magnificent wine with the classic creme de cassis note intermixed with smoke, graphite and spring flowers. It is a massive Lynch Bages, full-bodied and very 1989-ish, with notable power, loads of tannin, and extraordinary concentration and precision."(96pts)

St. Emilion
3x1 double magnum owc's (Wines Located in Hong
Kong)
"The 2005 Pavie is an absolutely amazing wine that has shed most of its oak aging (usually 24-28 months). Opaque purple in color, it is beyond belief in extract and concentration, but perfectly balanced and pure, with the oak well-integrated. Massively concentrated, and still a baby, this wine tastes more like it's two to three years old than one that's been around for a decade. Intense notes of grilled meats, spice box, cassis, black cherry, licorice and graphite arepresent in abundance. Enormously endowed, but with superlative purity and balance, this is the greatest Pavie in the early Perse era, starting in 1998. Only the 2009 and 2010 rival this in his opinion, but I would add the 2000. This killer effort should drink well for another 50 years and demonstrates the greatness of this terroir owned by the Perse family. Only 7,000 cases were produced from a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bravo!"(100pts)

16539 Charmes Chambertin - Vintage 2010
A. Rousseau
(Wines Located in New York)
"This is much more deeply pitched than usual with notes of earth and violets and while there are traces of red berry aromas, this hails more from the dark berry side of the fruit spectrum. There is excellent volume to the very rich and round middle weight plus flavors that possess a velvety mouth feel on the focused and impressively long finish. This also exhibits more depth of material than it usually does and this is one of the better Rousseau Charmes of recent years.(91-93pts BH)

"...broad-ranging nose of mostly red berries, plum, floral, earth and underbrush nuances. There is excellent richness to the solidly intense and powerful medium-bodied flavors that possess the same fine depth as the nose on the beautifully persistent finish. I like the balance and the delivery and this should amply reward 10 to 12 years of cellar time."(91-94pts BH)

"Very deep, almost black ruby color. There is a healthy dose of new wood but there is absolutely no doubt that this wine has sufficient density to absorb it The intensity of this wine is dialed way up with thick, super ripe aromas of black berries, oriental spices, tea, leather and a trace of underbrush coupled with extremely dense, extract of pinot noir flavors and fine, dusty tannins that create a massively structured wine..."(96pts BH)

Vieilles Vignes, Château de la Tour

"Deep ruby. An intensely floral nose is composed of cool but ripe red pinot, dark currant and plenty of pungent earth scents. There is more size, weight, power and concentration to the imposingly constructed flavors that are both supported and shaped by the tightly wound and extremely firm tannins, all wrapped in a mouth coating and hugely persistent finish. This displays terrific potential but it is a robust wine to buy only if you have the wherewithal and patience to wait."(94pts BH)

"Medium red. Exotic, sappy red fruits, mint and a whiff of game on the nose. Juicy and very concentrated; a bit shut down today compared to the Cras, but has lovely fat to buffer its firm underlying backbone. Finishes fairly tannic, but with terrific grip and length. Should ultimately merit a higher score."(92+?pts IWC)

"Slightly lighter red than the Clos Vougeot. Musky, complex aromas of raspberry, smoke, coffee and flowers. Sweet and silky in the mouth, with a crystallized cherry/raspberry flavor bordering on confectionary. Lovely fleshy texture followed by substantial dusty, velvety tannins. I find this more pliant and more nuanced than the '96."(92pts IWC)

"Classic, picture perfect aromas of red and black fruits cut with an undercurrent of wet leaves and earth that together display stunning complexity. The purity and detail are flat out incredible with nuanced, multi-layered flavors wrapped in pinot sap and culminating in an awe-inspiring finish. This is not as dense as the DRC or the Leroy but it is the exquisite balance and underlying vibrancy that really set this wine apart from the rest. This was the best in show in a tough group and should enjoy a very long drinking window because of the incredible balance. A classic in the making."(95pts BH)

By contrast, the finish is sweet and sappy with marvelous purity and outstanding length. The harmony of the various elements is really impressive and there is solid mid-palate punch and grand cru quality weight and depth."(90-93pts BH)

"Discreet wood influence allows the more densely fruited nose to have center stage with its fresh truffle and mineral character though here the dark berry fruit is slightly riper and leads to rich, mouth coating and beautifully textured flavors that possess a certain reserve as well as more of the minerality displayed by the nose, all wrapped in a strikingly long finish. I really like the underlying sense of both tension and vibrancy as this does a slow build from the mid-palate all the way to the finale."(93pts BH)

Produced from 50-year-old vines and aged in 80% new oak, this medium to dark ruby-colored wine sports an earthy black cherry, intensely spicy nose. Concentrated, deep, and intense, it is crammed with loads of black cherries, spices, and blackberries whose flavors linger in its superbly soft and lengthy finish."(93-95pts)
