Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Pessac-Leognan
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PESSAC-LEOGNAN
Size750MLVintage2016SKU25880
Seductively fleshy and creamy in feel, with alluring dark plum and fig notes laced with singed bay, black tea and dark earth hints. The broad finish has the grip and cut for definition. A beautiful wine in the making. 98pts Wine SpectatorLes Asteries Saint Emilion
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2009SKU17346
A tiny, single vineyard wine, the 2009 Les Asteries is the finest effort I have tasted. It boasts a dense purple color, a big, sweet perfume of graphite, blueberries, and blackberries, full body, abundant glycerin, beautiful density and succulence, as well as a sumptuous, long finish. Sadly, there are only 300 cases of this beauty. 98pts Wine Advocate (2009)Chateau Pichon Baron Pauillac
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PAUILLAC
Size750MLVintage2019SKU28374
Firm tannic grip lands you squarely in Pauillac from the first moment, with pencil lead and charcoal reinforcing the point. This is a serious Pichon Baron, carefully extracted black fruits that barely put a foot wrong, and a firm core of acidity. Takes its time to open in the glass, and will age for decades without breaking a sweat. 97pts DecanterValdicava Brunello di Montalcino
Size750MLVintage2005SKU26808
This is one of most rich, concentrated Brunellos of the vintage. Dark and enveloping on the palate, this powerful, virile Brunello closes with substantial heft. It should age beautifully on the depth of its fruit, but readers will enjoy a far more complete drinking experience if the wine is given at least few years in bottle to shed some of its baby fat.Chateau Clinet Pomerol
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - POMEROL
Size750MLVintage2019SKU28352
A full-bodied Pomerol with dark-fruit, coconut, chocolate and hazelnut character on both the nose and palate. Fine-tannined with an intensely tight and chewy texture. Spice at the end. Very flavorful and muscular, yet it
Chapoutier Cote Rotie la Mordoree
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - COTE-ROTIE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU16321
The 2009 Cote Rotie La Mordoree (471 cases) is potentially the finest La Mordoree made since the monumental 1991 (which is just beginning to hit full maturity at age 20). Spring flower, black olive, smoky barbecued meat, creme de cassis, graphite and black cherry characteristics are all found in this complex, aromatic effort. With an unctuous texture and a full-bodied mouthfeel, this is a gorgeous example of Cote Rotie Syrah that should drink nicely for 20-25+ years. 96pts Wine Advocate (2009)Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Cailles
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Size750MLVintage2012SKU20210
The classy and very cool middle weight flavors possess very ripe and already well-integrated tannins as well as an ultra-refined mouth feel on the deep, balanced and gorgeously long finish. A great selection for your wine cellar. Outstanding! 91-93pts Allen Meadows - Burghound (2012)Gaja Brunello di Montalcino Rennina
Size750MLVintage2015SKU27095
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina is distinctly powerful and savory in this vintage. Initially quite reticent, the 2010 blossoms with air as the aromatics release and the tannins start to soften. There is a lot going on in this striking, highly nuanced Brunello from the Gaja family. 97pts WA
