17318 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port - Vintage 2003 4x6 bottle owc's (Wines Located in New York) "The Quinta do Noval Vintage 2003 has a gorgeous raisin, fig and clove-scented bouquet with more freshness than the whole of Pomerol combined. As Christian Seely quipped, "the vines are accustomed to the heat". It unfolds in the glass, gaining vigor, if not complexity, with touches of leather, California raisin and dried flower emerging. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins, dishing out lovely ripe and intense blackberry, leather, sage, tobacco and white- pepper notes."(95pts) 24 bottles per lot $1400-1800 _____________________________
2 bottles per lot $50-70 17320 Château Beychevelle - Vintage 1989 St. Julien 1bn, 2bsl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) "Slightly rustic, but featuring loads of chocolate and berry and hints of flowers. Full-bodied, with minty, floral and cherry flavors and a velvety texture. Loads of mouthpuckering tannins. Needs time. Blockbuster for Beychevelle."(93pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $160-220 17321 Château Beychevelle - Vintage 2000 St. Julien 2lscl (Wines Located in New York) "Wonderful floral and blackberry aromas follow through to a compressed palate of full-bodied tannins and ripe fruit. Yet very fine and silky on the palate. Best Beychevelle I have had in years."(92pts WS) 5 bottles per lot $450-600 17322 Château Calon Segur - Vintage 1996 St. Estephe 2lbsl (Wines Located in New York) "The 1996, a 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot blend, made from very low yields of 35 hectoliters per hectare (just over 2 tons of fruit per acre), appears to be a dazzling, traditionally made, uncompromising, classic Bordeaux..."(92pts) 2 bottles per lot $150-200 17323 Château Calon Segur - Vintage 2000 St. Estephe lscl, sdc (Wines Located in New York) "...gorgeous aromas of creosote intermixed with spring flowers, black cherries, cassis, licorice, and stony, liquid minerals. A powerful, tannic, full-bodied and opulent wine, it possesses considerable structure that is reasonably well-concealed by considerable glycerin and intensity."(94pts) 1 bottle per lot $75-100 17324 Château Canon La Gaffeliere - Vintage 2000 St. Emilion 1nl (Wines Located in New York) "This is a triumphant 2000, flamboyant, super-concentrated, yet classic in proportions. Lavish notes of roasted espresso, melted chocolate, creme de cassis, toasty new oak, and Asian spices jump from the glass of this sensationally perfumed, rather ostentatious 2000. It is enormously concentrated and pure, with low acidity and exquisite balance. Remarkably, in spite of its large size, viscosity, and opulence, it is fresh and delineated. Potentially the finest Canon-la-Gaffeliere made to date..."(95pts) 2 bottles per lot $150-200 17325 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 1982 St. Estephe bsl, wasl, ltl (Wines Located in New York) "Cos d Estournel s 1982 exhibits a dark ruby/purple color with light pink at the rim.

Ineffable aromas of black fruits, minerals, licorice and Havana tobacco. Rich, dense and thick; powerful but harmonious. Layered texture over a strong backbone. Very long on the palate, with thoroughly ripe, noble cabernet tannins. Superb."(94pts IWC) 2 bottles per lot $240-320 17327 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 2000 St. Estephe 2lbsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York) "Absolutely gorgeous on the nose, with currants, blackberries and freshly cut flowers. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a solid core of fruit. This goes on and on on the palate. The essence of class and refinement."(96pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $260-350 17328 Château de Fieuzal - Vintage 1989 Graves 1bn, 2ts, 3lbsl (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $100-150 17329 Château Destieux - Vintage 2005 St. Emilion (Wines Located in New York) "..reveals aromas of roasted meats, sweet blackberry and cassis fruit, licorice, tar, smoke, and incense. A modern day blockbuster with superb purity, density, concentration, and length, it should round into drinkable form with another 5-8 years of bottle age, and last for 2-3 decades."(93pts) 3 bottles per lot $110-150 17330 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1982 St. Julien lbsl, ltl (Wines Located in New York) "...the 1982 Ducru-Beaucaillou is unquestionably the best wine made at this estate since 1961. The concentrated, viscous, dark ruby/purple color is followed by explosive aromas of spring flowers, blackcurrants, minerals, and toast. It is fuller-bodied than normal, with remarkable delineation, great richness, and that wonderful sweetness that is a hallmark of this vintage."(94pts) 1 bottle per lot $240-320 17331 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1986 St. Julien lwrl, sdc (Wines Located in New York) "A monster in its infancy. Almost black in color, with intense cassis, herb and mint aromas and superrich, dense cassis and licorice flavors."(95pts WS) 1 bottle per lot $100-130 17332 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1989 St. Julien lbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York) "Unsurprisingly opaque, understated but complete medium, deep, luminous ; rich nose though a touch of edginess; sweet, good fruit, tannin and acidity..."(3 stars MB) 1 bottle per lot $90-120 17333 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1996 St. Julien 1ltl (Wines Located in New York) "This wine is remarkable. It is muscular, concentrated, and classic a saturated ruby/purple color a knock-out nose of minerals, licorice, cassis, and an unmistakable lead pencil smell that I often associate with top vintages of Lafite-Rothschild. It is sweet and full-bodied, yet unbelievably rich with no sense of heaviness or flabbiness. The wine possesses high tannin, but it is extremely ripe, and the sweetness of the black currant, spice-tinged Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is pronounced. This profound, backward Ducru-Beaucaillou is a must purchase."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $300-400 17334 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 2000 St. Julien (Wines Located in New York) "Floral notes intermixed with raspberries; black currants, minerals, and a hint of new oak emerge from the dense purple-colored 2000 Ducru-Beaucaillou. The wine is sweet, dense, and medium to full-bodied, with undeniable elegance and finesse as well as a finish that lasts for 45+ seconds. A wine of remarkable symmetry, balance, elegance, and minerality, it is the Lafite-Rothschild of St. Julien."(94pts) 6 bottles per lot $900-1200 17335 Château Grand Puy Lacoste - Vintage 1990 Pauillac lscl, lstl, sdc (Wines Located in New York) "It possesses an opaque ruby/purple color, as well as a stunning nose of jammy blackcurrants, cedar, spice, and smoke. Full-bodied, with magnificent extract, excellent delineation, outstanding purity, and layers of intensity, this massive, dense, well-balanced Pauillac is the finest Grand-Puy-Lacoste since the 1982."(95pts) 1 bottle per lot $180-240 17336 Château Grand Puy Lacoste - Vintage 1996 Pauillac 2lbsl (Wines Located in New York) "...reveals an essence of creme de cassis character which sets it apart from other Pauillacs. The wine is displaying plenty of tannin, huge body, and sweet black currant fruit intermixed with minerals and subtle oak. Massive, extremely structured..."(93pts) 2 bottles per lot $140-200 17337 Château Haut Marbuzet - Vintage 1990 St. Estephe 2lgsl, 1sdc (Wines Located in New York) "This is a classic example of Haut-Marbuzet's exotic style. Huge aromas of olives, sweet new oak, and lavishly rich fruit are followed by a decadently rich, opulently styled wine that offers up gobs of sweet, herb-flavored fruit. Full-bodied, high in alcohol, with soft tannins, this gorgeous wine should drink well for another decade."(93pts) 2 bottles per lot $120-160 17338 Château La Dominique - Vintage 1989 St. Emilion vhs, lbsl, nl (Wines Located in New York) "The wine is typically forward, with an opaque purple color, and an intense, sweet black-raspberry, cedary, toasty-scented nose. In the mouth, the wine defines the word opulence with its viscosity and superb levels of jammy black fruits nicely dosed with high quality wood."(93pts) 1 bottle per lot $70-90 17339 Château La Lagune - Vintage 1982 Medoc bsl, wasl, ltl (Wines Located in New York) "Ok - now we are getting somewhere is the bulk of my tasting note...classic, rich cassis and cedar."(92pts JK) 1 bottle per lot $100-140 17340 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1996 Graves 2lscl (Wines Located in New York) "Was even more perfumed and had a sweet cotton candy edge. It was sweet and almost tropical. Eric found the same buttered popcorn quality that reminded him of 1989. There were charcoal and mineral flavors that were expressive and possessing pop. I did not write down an exact score, but I remember that it was in what I would call the very good zone..."(90-92pts JK) 3 bottles per lot $500-700 17341 Château Lafon Rochet - Vintage 1996 St. Estephe 2lbsl (Wines Located in New York) "We can thank proprietor Alfred Tesseron (also the owner of Pontet-Canet) for turning around the fortunes of Lafon-Rochet. The 1996 exhibits a black/purple color, and a tight but intriguing nose of Asian spices, licorice, minerals, and jammy black-raspberries and cassis. There is a sweet entry, but the wine is extremely tannic, powerful..."(90pts) 2 bottles per lot $110-150 17342 Château Lagrange - Vintage 1996 St. Julien 2lbsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York) "Enticing aromas of cinnamon and ripe fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, with ripe fruit flavors and a good fruit core. Medium tannins. St.-Julien's Lagrange seldom goes wrong, and this is certainly outstanding for the vintage."(90pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $110-140 17343 Château Le Gay - Vintage 1989 Pomerol 2bn, 2lbsl, 1lwisl (Wines Located in New York) "Tannic monster.

Age it for decades to come."(95pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $200-280 17344 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 1994 St. Julien 3lbsl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) "The color is a saturated black/purple to the rim. The wine exhibits an unformed but gloriously sweet nose of black fruits, minerals, lead pencil, licorice, and vanilla. Terrific concentration is immediately evident in this rich, full-bodied, multidimensional wine. Although there are loads of tannin, the overall impression is one of purity, intensity, and stunning richness, all buttressed and defined by adequate acidity and ripe but noticeable tannin."(90pts) 3 bottles per lot $150-200 17345 Château Leoville Barton - Vintage 2000 St. Julien sdc (Wines Located in New York) "The saturated purple-colored 2000 Leoville Barton is one of the greatest wines ever made at this estate. The wine has smoky, earthy notes intermixed with graphite, camphor, damp earth, jammy cassis, cedar, and a hint of mushroom. Enormous, even monstrous in the mouth, with tremendous extraction, broodingly backward, dense flavors, and copious tannins, this should prove to be one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage and one of the most compelling Leoville Bartons ever made."(96pts) 1 bottle per lot $110-150 17346 Château Leoville Poyferre - Vintage 1982 St. Julien 2ts, 2lbsl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) "The opaque purple/garnet color, and tightly knit nose that reluctantly offers up aromas of jammy currants, plums, and roasted herbs and nuts suggest considerable promise for the future. Full-bodied, massive, and exceptionally powerful and tannic..."(94pts) 2 bottles per lot $400-600 17347 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1989 Pauillac 1bn, 2lbsl, 2lscl (Wines Located in New York) "The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but what a great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching the 1989's extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential. Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle smoke, oak and graphite. Powerful and rich with some tannins still to shed at age 22.."(99+pts) 2 bottles per lot $500-700 17348 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1990 Pauillac 2bn, 2bsl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) "More classic - beefy, blood orange, thick, muscular...massive - big wine, similarly constructed to the 1989 but more balanced and integrated."(95pts JK) 2 bottles per lot $500-700 17349 Château Lynch Bages - Vintage 1996 Pauillac 1bn, 1ts, 2lstl (Wines Located in New York) "...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) 2 bottles per lot $220-320 17350 Château Margaux - Vintage 1982 Margaux 1bn, 2ts, 3vlbsl, 2tc (Wines Located in New York) "We transitioned to the remaining four First Growths in the next flight, beginning with a phenomenal bottle of 1982 Margaux (sourced from Château). The Margaux had a pungent nose, and its t n a jumped out at first. It also had cinnamon, iron, rock and gorgeous perfume. It was beyond licorice according to Dan, and Australian John admired its cherry liqueur. The palate was rocky without the horror but with the picture show, not its usual feminine self, Ray observed. Though spiny and long, the Margaux was still stylish with a touch of that Margaux elegance. This was a great bottle of this wine, and it ended up being wine of the flight, outshowing all the other First Growths."(97pts JK) 3 bottles per lot $1800-2400 17351 Château Margaux - Vintage 1988 Margaux 1bn, 1ts, 2lbsl, 2ltl, 1wasl, 1spc (Wines Located in New York) "Still not giving all it has to offer, this shows wonderful aromas and flavors of currant, violet, tobacco and earth. Full-bodied and powerful, with a solid underpinning of firm yet silky tannins. A classic Margaux. Best after 2000."(95pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $550-750 17352 Château Monbousquet - Vintage 1996 St. Emilion 5sdc (Wines Located in New York) "...the opaque purple color and gorgeous nose of sweet blueberries, cassis, and new oak are complemented by the wine's remarkable richness and multi-layered texture. Serious tannin can be detected in this huge, fleshy wine, so look for this wine to take on more definition after 3-4 years of cellaring. It should age well for two decades. Given the owner's commitment to quality, as well as the results he has obtained to date, the price of this wine can only go up, up, and up."(90pts) 6 bottles per lot $300-400 17353 Château Montrose - Vintage 1996 St. Estephe 2lbsl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) "Beautiful aromas of crushed berries and vanilla, with hints of licorice. Full-bodied, with sweet fruit and silky tannins. Long and caressing."(92pts WS) 2 bottles per lot $200-260 17354 Château Palmer - Vintage 1989 Margaux 1bn, 2bsl, 1ll, 1nl (Wines Located in New York) "...is a deceptively supple, generous, and fleshy wine that seems almost too tasty to support decades of cellaring. But do not be fooled! It displays that compelling fragrance that Palmer so frequently achieves in great vintages - aromas of flowers, super-ripe, plummy fruit, and toasty oak."(95pts) 2 bottles per lot $600-800 17355 Château Pape Clement - Vintage 2000 Graves 2lbsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York) "...continues to put on weight. An opaque purple color is accompanied by stunning aromas of wood smoke, cocoa, black currant and cherry liqueur, coffee, scorched earth, and new oak."(95pts) 2 bottles per lot $200-260 17356 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 1989 Pauillac (Wines Located in New York) "Gorgeous aromas of currants, berries and minerals. Full-bodied, with juicy tannins and a long, long fininsh. Same as ever. This will age for decades to come..."(98pts WS) 1 bottle per lot $170-220 17357 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 1995 Pauillac lbsl, nl (Wines Located in New York) "...possesses an expansive mid-section, superb ripeness, medium body, and high tannin in the impressively long finish. The wine is backward, but the low acidity and high extract should come together to create an outstanding claret."(90pts) 1 bottle per lot $100-130 17358 Château Pichon Baron - Vintage 2000 Pauillac 2lbsl (Wines Located in New York) "A spectacular effort clearly my favorite vintage of this wine since the 1989 and 1990. An inky purple color offers up notes of barbecue spices intermixed with new saddle leather, creme de cassis, melted licorice, creosote, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied, tremendously concentrated, with sweet tannin and a seamless finish that goes on for close to one minute. This wine has great purity, tremendous texture, and fabulous upside potential."(97pts) 2 bottles per lot $300-400 17359 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1989 Pauillac bsl (Wines Located in New York) "Voluptuous and velvety. Dark ruby color. Intense aromas of blackberries, fresh mushrooms and dried herbs. Full-bodied, with loads of ripe fruit and velvety tannins."(94pts WS) 1 bottle per lot $130-180 17360 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1996 Pauillac 3lbsl (Wines Located in New York) "The nose suggests sweet, nearly overripe Cabernet Sauvignon, with its blueberry/blackberry/cassis scents intermixed with high quality, subtle, toasty new oak. Deep and full-bodied, with fabulous concentration and a sweet, opulent texture, this wine was singing in full harmony..."(96pts) 3 bottles per lot $450-600 17361 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 1996 Pauillac 2lbsl, 2lscl (Wines Located in New York) "...the 1994, 1995, and 1996 wines have had more in common with Latour than any other Pauillac. The 1996 looks to be another classic for Pontet-Canet. An opaque purple color, and a backward but huge, promising nose of sweet black fruits, fruitcake, earth, and spice are followed by an old style Pauillac that appears to have been made with no compromises."(92pts) 2 bottles per lot $130-180 17362 Château Pontet Canet - Vintage 2000 Pauillac 2vlscl (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 17363 Château Smith Haut Lafitte - Vintage 1996 Graves 1nl (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) 2 bottles per lot $85-110 17364 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 $90-110 Download 6.96 Mb. Share with your friends:
