18329 Musigny - Vintage 2012
Vieilles Vignes, Comte de Vogue
(Wines Located in New York)
"A brooding but gorgeously spicy nose is comprised of liqueur-like dark berry fruit scents that also display plenty of floral influence that includes notes of lavender, violet and, somewhat curiously, honeysuckle. There is outstanding concentration and punch to the seductively textured and marvelously intense big-bodied flavors that are borderline robust as the supporting tannins are dense but refined. I really like the Zen-like sense of harmony to the explosively long and pungent mineral-driven finish that really stains the palate. This is flat out remarkable."(97pts BH)

Clos des Goisses
1x6 bottle ocb (Wines Located in New York)
"Bright yellow. Leesy, deeply pungent aromas of buttered pear and apple, with a strong impression of jasmine. Deeply concentrated and powerful on the palate, the pear flavor almost liqueur-like in intensity, with a solid frame of minerality and a building toffee note. Finishes with a depth charge of talc-y minerality and a lingering impression of sweet butter. Don't even think of opening one of these for at least another five years."(95pts IWC)

bn, lbsl, excellent color and condition (Wines Located

"This wine had a saturated, deep ruby color that made it look at least ten years younger. The nose was intense, but not that evolved. In the mouth, the wine tasted surprisingly young, dense, full-bodied, and capable of another 20-25 years of life. I have limited experience with this vintage, but I do not remember the 1966 being this spectacular. If this bottle, which was in gorgeous condition, was typical, this wine should merit attention from the wine auction crowd."(90pts)

Generous, pliant wine, finishing with chewy but ripe tannins and lingering sweetness. A return to form after a few difficult vintages..."(91pts IWC)

La Doriane, E. Guigal
1lbsl, 1nl (Wines Located in New York)
"...is unquestionably the wine of the vintage for Condrieu. It is so far superior to anything else I tasted from this appellation, it only adds to my admiration for Guigal's talent. He crop thinned until he had eliminated 35% of the grapes, did a full malolactic fermentation, and aged this wine in both tank and small casks, of which 55% were new. The wine boasts a stunning floral and tropical fruit-scented nose with underlying honey and apricot liqueur-like aromas. Rich and medium to full-bodied, it possesses gorgeous freshness, vibrancy, and enough acidity for definition. This expressive, expansive, full-bodied, dry, fruit-filled Condrieu is a thrill to drink."(93pts)

"If you have given up on the 1989 vintage for California Cabernet, think again. Beringer's 1989 Private Reserve is one of the stars of the vintage. This dark-colored wine is loaded with rich, chocolatey, blackcurrant fruit, with spicy, toasty oak, and the tannin is not out of balance. This long, rich, full-bodied, impressively-endowed Cabernet Sauvignon will will keep for 15 more years."(90pts)

Madrona Ranch
(Wines Located in New York)
"While I am not surprised that the 2001 Thorevilos turned out to be perfect, the 2001 Madrona Ranch was more of an eye-opener in that it has become even more extraordinary than I predicted eight years ago. A prodigious wine, with complex notes of subtle barbecue smoke intermixed with blueberry pie, black currant liqueur, acacia flowers, lead pencil shavings, and sweet foresty floor notes, this wine builds incrementally with layer upon layer of fruit, glycerin and concentration. The finish goes well past a minute, and the wine is full-bodied and deep, with wonderfully sweet tannin. It is still an adolescent in terms of its total evolution, but it is irresistible simply because of the flawless nature of the wine and incredible perfume and flavor intensity. Simply amazing! Both of these wines are adolescents, and probably won't peak for another 5-8 years and keep for 30-40."(100pts)
