G. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Clos de Bourg 1er Trie
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size750MLVintage1971SKU5262
A shimmering jewel of a Vouvray from the personification of vouvray winemaking, Gaston Huet. There are remarkable floral, mineral, and honeyed bee's wax notes in this stunner. The length and complexity are a component of the famed Clos de Bourg vineyard.
S.A. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size1.5LVintage1997SKU6962
Extraordinarily rich. An amazing amount of botrytis gives this sweet white a powerful, spicy character, its masses of ripe fruit kept lively by electrifying acidity. So concentrated it tastes as though all the flesh has evaporated, leaving only the spirit behind. Will easily last your lifetime and mine. Wine Spectator (1997)
Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2011SKU7547
Deep, saturated purple. Explosively aromatic nose shows intense floral, blackberry, cassis and dark cherry, with a ripeness bordering on liqueur-like. Impossibly sweet and concentrated, with intense dark berry and plum flavors and an intoxicating, pungent floral quality. The fruit almost overwhelms the palate and builds impressively through the extremely long finish. A remarkable wine, with the power and balance to age for years. 94pts Stephen Tanzer (2004)
Chateau Figeac St. Emilion Grand Cru
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2009SKU13103
Distinctive, with atypical (for St.-Emilion) force and drive to the black currant, roasted cedar and maduro tobacco flavors, which are supported by a dense, loam-tinged structure. Terrific roasted espresso, ganache and fig paste notes wait in reserve. Very muscular, but with the cut for balance." 96 Points Wine Spectator
Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Rose Champagne
Size750MLVintage2006SKU25830
This is the benchmark for all other vintage Roses. Gorgeous aromas of strawberry and citrus oil with an extra-fine mousse. The palate reveals a significant nod to the Pinot Noir in the blend with bright cherry and yeast as well as balancing acidity. While this is delicious now, the future is promising.
Champagne Billecart-Salmon Grande Cuvee
Size750MLVintage1996SKU7030
The nose is an enticing melange of floral and earth aromas with a dollop of savoury: jasmine, slate, white pepper, freshly baked bread and marmite. The palate is very dry, very tight and seems to be restraining an explosion of fruit and autolytic expression. Crisp acidity and very fine bubbles... 95pts Wine Advocate (1996)
Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognon
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PESSAC-LEOGNAN
Size750MLVintage2002SKU3047
This boasts strikingly elegant aromatics of crushed stones, plums, black cherries, currants, figs, and earth. The wine possesses impressively measured power and elegance offered in a medium bodied, nicely structured, exceptionally pure format. 92-94pts RP Wine Advocate (2002)
Chateau d'Yquem
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - WHITE - SAUTERNES
Size750MLVintage1983SKU16015
The 1983 ranks among the most concentrated wines from this property over the last 25 years, with a staggering display of extract and a mind-boggling amount of glycerin. The vintage commenced early for d'Yquem, beginning on September 29th and finishing on November 18th. The 1983 is enormous, with huge, honeyed, pineapple, coconut, and caramel flavors, massive extract, and an unctuous quality barely framed by acidity and new oak. The wine has changed little since bottling. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2050. 96 pts. RP
Chateau Pavie St. Emilion Grand Cru
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2006SKU11586
An extraordinary perfume of crushed black currants, licorice, wet stones, and subtle background oak are found in this tannic, dense, masculine-styled 2006. Backward and extraordinarily pure, with exceptional focus, depth, texture, and length. 96 points RP Wine Advocate (2006)
G. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Le Haut Lieu 1er Trie
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size750MLVintage1959SKU5260
Broody herb and straw on the nose with a huge concentration of complex fruit on the palate. It's rich and textured with lovely Chenin Complexity and mouth-watering acidity.
Huet Vouvray Moelleux Le Mont
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size750MLVintage1971SKU5261
Exquisite sweet wine from onetime Vouvray mayor, Gaston Huet. This domaine's wines are truly peerless when it comes to expressing the terroir of Vouvray. This wine is still in its infancy and has the potential to age for another 20+years.
Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2003SKU7199
Black purple to the rim, with an extraordinary nose of smoke, camphor, blackberry, cassis, sweet cherry, white flowers, licorice, and Chinese black tea, the wine has superb richness, huge tannins, massive concentration, and a monster finish. 95pts Wine Advocate (2003)
Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2004SKU7200
The 2004 is potentially one of the legendary Jacques Perrin cuvees since the debut vintage of 1989. The potentially perfect 2004 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin has turned out to be just an amazing wine and one of the profound examples of this cuvee the Perrins have produced. It certainly has all the power, density, and richness of the great years, but there is almost a surreal elegance and lightness for a wine this powerful and dense. Almost difficult to describe, the gorgeous multi-layered texture, and the heavenly perfume of smoked meats, flowers, blueberries, blackberries, creosote, and truffles is a knock-out. 98 pts Wine Advocate (2004)
Chateau Angelus St. Emilion
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2003SKU3728
Like a professional wrestler in a cashmere jumpsuit this combines power and silkiness on a monumental level. Drink this now. Alone. In the dark. By yourself.
Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT JULIEN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU5019
This is an exceptionally powerful wine with a dense purple color, superb intensity, and a beautiful, sweet nose of spring flowers, raspberries, blueberries, graphite, and creme de cassis. Full-bodied with fabulous concentration, exceptionally high tannin, good acidity, and massive layers of richness that build incrementally on the palate. 97 pts Wine Advocate (2005)La Mission Haut Brion Pessac-Leognan
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PESSAC-LEOGNAN
Size750MLVintage2019SKU28362
It's a more opulent wine compared to Haut-Brion, and the Merlot is front and center here, with ripe, sexy black cherry and redcurrant fruits as well as licorice, scorched earth, cedar pencil, and graphite aromas and flavors. Rich, exuberant, and straight up sexy on the palate, it's full-bodied, has a deep, layered mid-palate, building tannins, and a heavenly finish. 100pts James SucklingChateau Angelus St. Emilion
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2016SKU25861
Incredible depth of fruit to this Angelus, which is dense yet also agile and energetic. ThereDomaine Lignier-Michelot Clos de la Roche
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2011SKU17654
There is enough wood to notice though it does not dominate the ripe plum, black cherry, cassis, warm earth and abundant spice nuances. There is outstanding richness to the big-bodied and overtly powerful flavors that possess a suave mouth feel before culminating in a firm, long, balanced and superbly complex finish.
Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2005SKU8240
The 2003 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin has turned out even better than I thought last year. Black purple to the rim, with an extraordinary nose of smoke, camphor, blackberry, cassis, sweet cherry, white flowers, licorice, and Chinese black tea, the wine has superb richness, huge tannins, massive concentration, and a monster finish. 95points Robert Parker
Colin-Deleger Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6236
A restrained, pure and gorgeously airy and sophisticated nose of mostly white flower and acacia blossom notes merges into racy and intensely mineral medium bodied flavors brimming with energy and punch on the textured, sweet and driving finish. Allen Meadows Burghound (2005)
Chateau Ausone
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2004SKU4934
An extraordinary effort, and a candidate for wine of the vintage, the 2004 Ausone boasts an inky/blue/purple color as well as a prodigious nose of crushed rocks, white flowers, sweet truffles, black raspberries, cherries, and graphite. Although possessing huge richness as well as medium to full body, it is incredibly light on its feet..Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - WHITE - SAUTERNES
Size750MLVintage2005SKU20366
This has a deliciously pure feel, with juicy, inviting green plum, ginger, heather, creamed pineapple and Jonagold apple flavors all melded together and gliding through the lengthy finish, which echoes with lilting flowers and dried citrus notes. 97pts Wine Spectator (2005)Chateau Cheval Blanc Saint-Emilion
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2019SKU28350
Intense aromas of tar, blackberry and wet earth, with just a hint of tobacco and flowers. Full-bodied, chewy and long. Extracted, yet turns caressing and velvety in texture. Broad-shouldered and muscular for this estate. This is better than the 2000. 94pts Wine Advocate (2004)La Mission Haut Brion
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PESSAC-LEOGNAN
Size750MLVintage2016SKU25873
This is a wonderful wine, it
La Mission Haut Brion
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PESSAC-LEOGNAN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU11583
This utterly profound, exceptionally rich, full bodied, thick La Mission is undeniably one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage. It possesses sweet blue and black fruit notes intertwined with notions of burning embers and flowers. Unctuous, massively fruity, and thick, this is a great La Mission! 95pts RP Wine Advocate (2006)
