"A wine of extraordinary intensity and accessibility a sexier, more hedonistic offering than the muscular, backward 1996. Opulent, with forward aromatics (gobs of black fruits intermixed with toasty pain grille scents and a boatload of spice), this terrific Cos possesses remarkable intensity, full body, and layers of jammy fruit nicely framed by the wine's new oak."(95pts)

"I bought this wine for myself because I thought it was a sleeper of the vintage, and I couldn't be happier. My score in two tastings was identical to what it was seven years ago. Chocolatey espresso notes jump from the glass of this dark ruby/purple-colored wine. Full-bodied, with a silky texture, loads of concentration and density, this is a beautiful wine that is both hedonistically and intellectually pleasing."(94pts)

"...has been drinking well since the day it was released and it continues to go from strength to strength. The biggest, richest, fullest-bodied Lynch Bages until the 2000, the fully mature 1990 exhibits an unbelievably explosive nose of black currants, cedarwood, herbs and spice. The majestic, classically Bordeaux aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, voluptuously textured, rich, intense wine with superb purity as well as thrilling levels of fruit, glycerin and sweetness."(99pts)

"...with all the vintages of the nineties represented, this wine stood out for its absolute purity of Crème de cassis, ripe fruit, medium to full body, high tannin, wonderful sweetness, massive richness on the mid-palate, and abundant power, density, and ripeness. It is clearly the finest Lynch-Bages since the 1989 and 1990."(94pts)

"Displaying a dense purple color as well as low acidity, this blackberry and cassis-flavored 1999 possesses a fat, juicy mid-section, and outstanding purity, ripeness, and glycerin in the long finish, which oozes over the palate with no bumps. The tannin is well-concealed by the wealth of chewy fruit. A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot, approximately 75% of the production made it into the final wine."(90pts)

2wisl (Wines Located in New York)
"It is an exquisite example of Pichon-Lalande with the Merlot component giving the wine a coffee/chocolatey/cherry component to go along with the Cabernet Sauvignon's and Cabernet Franc's complex blackberry/cassis fruit. The wine possesses an opaque black/ruby/purple color, and sexy, flamboyant aromatics of pain grille, black fruits, and cedar. Exquisite on the palate, this full-bodied, layered, multidimensional one of the vintage's most extraordinary success stories."(96pts)

16912 Château Smith Haut Lafitte - Vintage 1996
Graves
(Wines Located in New York)
"Since its acquisition by the Cathiard family, this property continues to be one of Bordeaux's shining success stories. The 1996 may be the finest wine yet made at the estate, which is saying something given how impressive recent wines have been. The color is a healthy saturated, nearly opaque purple. The nose offers intense aromas of black fruits, beautifully integrated, toasty new oak, minerals, and flowers. This concentrated, impressively delineated wine provides the quintessential marriage of power and finesse, richness without heaviness, purity without blandness, and character without sterility. Medium to full-bodied, and intensely flavorful in the mouth, it does not come across as heavy or overdone. As the wine sits in the glass, it unfolds to offer additional nuances, and an unmistakable perfume of blueberries."(90pts)

"A sensational Yquem, 1997 may be this estate's finest effort since 1990 (although I would not discount the 1996 turning out to be nearly as good). The 1997's light gold color is accompanied a gorgeous perfume of caramel, honeysuckle, peach, apricot, and smoky wood. Full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with good underlying acidity as well as loads of sweetness and glycerin, it looks to be a great vintage for this renowned Sauternes estate."(96pts)

"...should last for three decades. The full-bodied, intense, dense ruby/purple-colored 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate reveals a closed, reticent bouquet of minerals, Crème de cassis, and spice. This rich, full-bodied effort should be going strong 20-30 years from now. This is another example of why Château Montelena over the last thirty years has been the most consistently fine producer of top-flight, world-class Napa Cabernet Sauvignon!"(95pts)

16930 Pride Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999

"There might not be a better bang for your buck in all of Cali Cabernet than the regualr Pride Cabernet. At $40-50 it delivers as hedonistic a glass of Cab as one can hope, whether you are spending $40 or $400. Mmm mmm delicious might be the best way to put it - just tasty, rich and ripe in all the right places. Thick, sweet, chocolaty nose with a hint of motor oil cassis flavors so thick they belong in a tar pit delicious wine with nice spice that is not overbearing nice, dusty finish."(94pts JK)

2 bottles per lot $180-240
16938 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1995
(Wines Located in New York)
"...appears to cram everything into its suave, fabulously concentrated, rich, intense personality. Although highly-extracted, the wine manages to avoid being a weighty or fatiguing style of Cabernet. The tannin is sweet, and the acidity offers vibrancy and delineation, but no sharpness."(92-95pts)
