4258 Pommard - Vintage 2006 Les Epenots, Vieilles Vignes, D. Laurent (Wines Located in New York) "Representing a single barrel, from vines he says were planted in 1898 and which "while they might be old, are still in great form," Laurent's 2006 Pommard Les Epenots Vieilles Vignes displays an unusually intense cyanic, fruit bit concentration and iodine minerality whose common bitterness is balanced by diverse berry fruit of exceptional, almost port-like, desiccated concentration and sweetness. Yet, there is lift and vivacity here (and only 13.5% alcohol), as well as exceptional refinement of tannins, and practically endless, caressing length. Regardless of what one knows about Laurent's methods or has been told about these pre-phylloxera vines, just tasting this wine brings to mind thoughts of what Burgundy might have been like and is often said to have been like a century ago. "It's a Pinot from another world," remarks Laurent, evidently anticipating my thoughts..."(94pts) 3 bottles per lot $190-220 4259 Clos Vougeot - Vintage 2010 Faiveley (Wines Located in New York) "Very pure, complex nose melds black cherry, minerals, black pepper, wild herbs and an earthy nuance. Large-scaled, sweet and rich, with a strong mineral underpinning to the flavors of black cherry and spices."(93-96pts IWC) 4 bottles per lot $420-600 4260 Corton - Vintage 2010 Clos des Cortons, Faiveley (Wines Located in New York) "A brooding, deep and introverted nose grudgingly gives up notes of cassis, earth, wood and a hint of animale. The intense, brawny and imposingly structured flavors possess superb volume and almost breathtaking power on the explosive and mouth coating finish that is of monumental proportions. This is a classic Corton yet consistent with the style of the 2010 vintage, this is not unduly rustic, indeed the tannins, while firm, are actually relatively refined."(94-96pts BH) 4 bottles per lot $450-600 PARCEL LOTS 4261-4265 4261 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2006 Chaupin, Domaine de la Janasse (Wines Located in New York) "A step up on the richness scale over the classic cuvée, the 2006 Châteauneuf du Pape Chaupin is as sexy a Grenache as you'll find in the vintage. Blackberry liqueur, black cherries, olives, crushed flowers and licorice all emerge from this beauty, and it hits the palate with a full-bodied mouthfeel, sweet, resolved tannin and a great finish.

Full-bodied, rich, decadent and unctuous on the palate, this beauty gives up fabulous notes of dark fruits, dusty soil, licorice, roasted herbs and toasted spice. It needs a short decant if drinking anytime soon, and will continue drinking nicely through 2026."(96pts) 2 bottles per lot $100-140 4267 2 bottles per lot $100-140 4vlscl (Wines Located in New York) PARCEL LOTS 4268-4273 4268 Côtes du Roussillon - Vintage 2007 La Muntada, Domaine Gauby (Wines Located in New York) (97pts) 4 bottles per lot $220-260 4269 4 bottles per lot $220-260 (Wines Located in New York) 4270 4 bottles per lot $220-260 (Wines Located in New York) 4271 4 bottles per lot $220-260 (Wines Located in New York) 4272 4 bottles per lot $220-260 (Wines Located in New York) 4273 4 bottles per lot $220-260 (Wines Located in New York) 4274 Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese - Vintage 2007 Zwischen Den Seen, #11, A. Kracher 2lscl, 2sdc (Wines Located in New York) "387 g/l r.s., 7.3 g/l acidity and 6.5% alcohol) Deep golden-yellow color. The initially restrained nose needs coaxing to reveal aromas of honey, orange, hazelnut, dark rye bread and an abundance of minerals. Uncanny in its sheer concentration, offering an impressive concert of aromas and flavors that require the attention of all the senses. Here too, the wine's incredibly intense and luscious sweetness is perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. The endless finish inundates the palate with a wave of flinty minerals, orange and pumpernickel. This wine surprises with its early perfection, as it also has a very long and promising career of several decades ahead of it."(96pts VM) 2 half-bottles per lot $80-120 PARCEL LOTS 4275-4276 4275 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese - Vintage 2007 Zwischen Den Seen, #9, A. Kracher 3vlscl, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York) "344 g/l r.s., 9.4 g/l acidity and 6.5% alcohol) Deep golden yellow. Spectacular nose opens like a peacock's tail, flamboyantly showing off intense peach, orange, strawberry and blossom honey. Then equally seductive in the mouth, adding sweet huckleberry, strawberry jam, apricot and mandarin orange to its many facets. The wine's structure and extraordinary finesse is exhibited in the uncanny balance between its creamy, extravagant residual sugar and spine-tingling acidity. A near-perfect wine, and a stunning example of what this variety is capable of achieving."(99pts VM) 3 half-bottles per lot $160-180 4276 3 half-bottles per lot $160-180 3vlscl, 3sdc (Wines Located in New York) 4277 Taurasi - Vintage 2009 Terredora di Paolo (Wines Located in New York) :Deep red. Captivating aromas of red cherry, tobacco and botanical herbs, plus a hint of peach. Dense, rich and suave, with ripe red cherry and fresh herb flavors that linger impressively on the aftertaste. This velvety, complex Taurasi offers plenty of early appeal but will also evolve nicely in a cool cellar."(92pts VM) 8 bottles per lot $200-260 4278 White Rock Claret - Vintage 2012 2vlscl (Wines Located in New York) "The delicious, complex 2012 Proprietary Red Blend Claret's dense ruby/purple color is followed by sweet plum, blackcurrant and black cherry notes intermixed with incense and forest floor. The tannins are soft, the acidity noticeable but not intrusive, and the wine is fleshy, powerful and elegant. It is a gorgeous red to drink now and over the next 8-10 years. Traditionally, this cuvée has been composed of all the Bordeaux varietals Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot."(93pts) 6 bottles per lot $150-200 4279 Melville Syrah - Vintage 2012 Santa Rita Hills (Wines Located in New York) 12 bottles per lot $450-600 4280 4 bottles per lot $150-200 (Wines Located in New York) PARCEL LOTS 4281-4282 4281 Saxum Red - Vintage 2012 James Berry Vineyard (Wines Located in New York) (97+pts) 2 bottles per lot $200-300 4282 2 bottles per lot $200-300 (Wines Located in New York) PARCEL LOTS 4283-4284 4283 Sine Qua Non Syrah - Vintage 2010 Five Shooter (Wines Located in New York) "The 2010 Syrah Five Shooter is straight up gorgeous. A massive wine that somehow holds everything together, it offers a wild array of cassis, blackberry, white chocolate, underbrush and pepper that flows to a full-bodied, layered Syrah that has masses of fine tannin and enough substance to evolve for decades. A blend of 85% Syrah, 5% Grenache, 3% Petite Sirah, 5% Roussanne and 2% Viognier that was fermented with 20% whole cluster and aged 22 months in 59% new French oak, it opens up beautifully in the glass."(98+pts) 1 bottle per lot $200-240 4284 1 bottle per lot $200-240 stl (Wines Located in New York) PARCEL LOTS 4285-4286 4285 Charles Smith Syrah - Vintage 2012 Royal City Stoneridge Vineyard 4nl (Wines Located in New York) (99pts) 2 bottles per lot $160-180 4286 2 bottles per lot $160-180 4nl (Wines Located in New York) _____________________________ 4287 Château Beau Sejour Becot - Vintage 2005 (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $40-60 4288 Château Beausejour Duffau Lagrosse - Vintage 1989 St. Emilion lbsl (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $60-80 4289 Château Branon - Vintage 2005 Graves (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $75-100 4290 Château Duhart Milon - Vintage 2005 Pauillac (Wines Located in New York) "The finest Duhart-Milon ever made? This structured, tannic, dense ruby/purple-tinged Pauillac offers up hints of cassis, licorice, chocolate, and earth.

The 2009, a prodigious blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, offers up an exquisite aromatic concoction of blackberries, plums, Asian soy, forest floor, truffles and graphite. Along with its stunning concentration, remarkably thick, juicy mid-palate and unbelievable complexity, its viscosity and opulence take this wine to new heights. This extraordinary wine is one of the superstars of 2009 and one to enjoy over the next three decades."(99pts) 1 bottle per lot $160-220 4292 Château La Confession - Vintage 2005 (Wines Located in New York) "Opaque purple, with a sweet blue and blackberry perfume intertwined with licorice and graphite, the 2005 La Confession exhibits massive concentration and extraction, but this full-bodied wine pulls back from being over-the-top because of intrinsic freshness and admirable purity."(95pts) 1 bottle per lot $50-65 4293 Château La Conseillante - Vintage 1989 Pomerol (Wines Located in New York) "...a perfumed, exotic, sweet, expansive, yummy wine that is hard to resist La Conseillante's quintessential smooth as silk style One of the unexplainable facts of Bordeaux wine drinking is that even the softer, delicious, up-front wines can age impeccably when well-stored."(97pts) 1 bottle per lot $240-320 4294 Château La Fleur Pétrus - Vintage 1989 Pomerol (Wines Located in New York) "A juicy, succulent '89 offering lots of chocolate, black olive and plum character.

We often tasted it side by side with the 1982, because I always preferred the latter vintage. Of course, the two vintages are quite different in style, with the 1986 a monument to classicism, with great tannin, extraordinary delineation, and a huge, full-bodied nose of sweet, ripe cassis fruit intermixed with vanilla, melon, fruitcake, and a multitude of spices. The wine has always been phenomenally concentrated, yet wonderfully fresh and vigorous. The wine still seems young, yet it is hard to believe it is not close to full maturity."(100pts) 1 bottle per lot $240-320 4302 Château Pavie - Vintage 1982 St. Emilion stl (Wines Located in New York) "Soft and easy...nutty, a little banana...palate pleasing."(92pts JK) 1 bottle per lot $160-220 4303 Château Pichon Lalande - Vintage 1978 Pauillac lbsl, lwisl, excellent color and condition (Wines Located in New York) "...displays an aromatic profile consisting of roasted herbs, chocolate, cedar, tobacco, and ripe curranty fruit.
