bn (Wines Located in New York)
"Incredible nose...most likely the best Tignanello ever...ripe, grapy, leathery nose full of cherry liqueur, as well as aromas of saddle spice and ligth pepper...a meaty, saucy nose that also has cassis aromas...tighter on the palate - more of that leathery grit and dusty tannins...touch of fig flavors as well but stays closed on the palate."(94+pts JK)

"Served blind, this wine had a saucy, rich and ripe nose full of black cherry fruit reminded me of California Syrah but I was informed to be 'wrong and wrong' by a gleeful Roy, I mean Ray almost honeyed and a pinch of black and white pepper smooth, satiny palate with chocolaty flavors, good richness, and a decent finish with gritty tannins bordering on overoaky but not there tasty, hedonistic wine - not your Grandmother's (please put Italian translation) Sangiovese!"(92pts JK)

Incognito
tl (Wines Located in New York)
"...is the finest Grenache-based effort the Krankls have yet produced. A black/ruby/purple color is followed by a lavishly exotic nose of super-rich as well as super-ripe black cherries, black currants, blackberries, licorice, pepper, and other heavenly delights. It is a wine of extraordinary opulence, texture, and purity with a finish that lasts 65+ seconds. Undeniably the greatest Grenache I have tasted from California..."(98pts)

17655 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1994
(Wines Located in New York)
"... is one of those rare wines that possesses awesome aromatic, flavor, and texture dimensions. Totally dry, it comes across as sweet because of its highly extracted, ripe fruit. Opaque purple/black-colored, with a knock-out nose of black fruit (cassis and black-raspberries), this wine hits the palate with phenomenal concentration that brilliantly manages to be neither heavy nor overbearing. Plenty of velvety tannin is concealed behind the fruit's remarkable intensity. The wine's purity, presence, and finish are unbelievable. I predict this wine will turn out to be a legend!"(98pts)

2 bottles per lot $700-1000
17659 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 1995
The Other Hand
(Wines Located in New York)
"Full-bodied, yet gorgeously layered and nearly seamless in its flamboyant display of fruit, glycerin, and extract, this large-scaled, yet drinkable Syrah will benefit from another 5-6 years in the bottle, but it is already accessible. It is another example of why I think wineries in this region should be ripping out their Pinot Noir vines and re-planting with Syrah!..."(92pts)

Really amazing material here. Again, the extraordinary finishing fruit makes the tannins virtually disappear."(95pts IWC)

17662 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2009
Collection Charles Giraud, Domaine St. Prefert
(Wines Located in New York)
"What I tend to think of as the top cuvée, although it is not that certain when you taste these wines next to each other, is the Châteauneuf du Pape Collection Charles Giraud. The 2009, which is showing better from bottle than it did last year, is a wonderfully complex wine made from 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre. (The Grenache comes from 80-year-old vines aged in concrete, and the Mourvedre from 60-year-old vines aged in 600-litre demi-muids). This wine was utterly perfect in 2007, and I think the 2009 is another fabulous wine. Complex notes of licorice, incense, lavender, new saddle leather, blackberry and kirsch along with some tree bark and roasted meats are all present in this complex, fragrant wine, which is full-bodied, dense, rich and capable of improving."(95+pts)
12 bottles per lot $600-800
17663 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2010
Collection Charles Giraud, Domaine St. Prefert
1x12 bottle owc (Wines Located in New York)
"A magnificent offering that is not far off the perfect 2007 is the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape Collection Charles Giraud. While it exhibits a touch of spicy oak and a distinctive loamy earthiness, it is dominated by creme de cassis, kirsch, lavender, licorice, steak tartare and Provencal herb notes. Peppery, spicy, rich, pure and impressively well-delineated, it is a superb example of Châteauneuf du Pape made in a quasi-modern style that also represents an hommage to past traditions as well as some of the innovative advantages of blending and harvesting ripe fruit."(98pts)

17664 Château Pavie - Vintage 2000
St. Emilion
(Wines Located in New York)
"...the color is an opaque purple, and the bouquet offers up notes of liquid minerals, blackberries, cherries, and cassis intermixed with spice box, cedar, and white flowers. On the palate, it exhibits a massive display of richness and extract, yet with pinpoint delineation and vibrancy as well as a 60+ second finish, this is the kind of phenomenal wine that Perse's critics were afraid he might produce - a no-compromise, immortal wonder that represents the essence of one of Bordeaux's greatest terroirs. Life is too short not to own and consume the 2000 Pavie.."(100pts)

J. Drouhin
(Wines Located in New York)
"This is also quite floral with a ripe and somber nose of earthy liqueur-like aromas that give way to exceptionally rich, intense and full-bodied flavors that possess fine complexity and excellent length. I quite like this though it's not quite in the league of the very best wines in the range. This should age well over the next 20 years and live for much longer."(93pts BH)

A highly concentrated wine with wonderful balance and finesse. The extremely persistent, subtle fruit outlasts the firm but sweet tannins."(92-5pts IWC)

"The reduction this displayed after bottling now dominates the nose and has become, in my view, permanent. Thus, how much you will like this wine necessarily depends on whether moderately strong reduction bothers you or not. By contrast, the highly energetic and vibrant rich, round and detailed medium-bodied flavors possess good extract for the vintage and plenty of punch and persistence on the finish."(90pts BH)

A terrific vintage for Pucelles and one to consider closely."(93pts BH)

A lacy, long and stylish wine of finesse rather than power."(90-93pts BH)
