Quintarelli Cabernet Alzero
ITALY: VENETO - RED WINE - OTHER
Size750MLVintage1991SKU6301
This explodes on the nose with raisins and figs, cassis jam, chocolate, coffee, spices, and minerality on the palate. Sweet on the attack, incredibly complex on the palate and only the slightest whisper of residual sugar on the finish this ethereal incarnation of Cabernet Franc is a freakishly good wine.
Giuseppe Quintarelli Cabernet Alzero
ITALY: VENETO - RED WINE - OTHER
Size750MLVintage1993SKU6302
Extraordinarily different wine--lush, ripe nose of raisin, brown sugar and giant dark fruits. The flavors crash over the plate bringing waves of spice, chocolate cassis and licorice. WOW!
Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size1.5LVintage2004SKU7202
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 de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size1.5LVintage2003SKU7198
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. 95 pts Wine Advocate (2003)

Roberto Voerzio Riserva Vecchie Viti Dei Capalot E Delle Brunate Barolo

Big and chunky red. Lots of tar and berry character, with hints of mahogany. Full-bodied, silky yet chewy, with lots of fruit and character. Mouthpuckering. Long finish. Massive concentration. Old vines. Roberto Voerzio puts a lot of pride in this bottle. 94 Wine Spectator (1998)Opus One 2015

U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA - RED - OTHER REDS/BLENDS
Size750MLVintage2014SKU24386
The 2013 Zinfandel Geyserville is every bit as fabulous from bottle as it was from barrel last year. Ripe and voluptuous on the palate - yet with a super-classic conception of structure, the 2013 offers superb depth and impeccable overall balance. Waves of dark red cherry, pomegranate, spice, tobacco lead to more savory/ferrous notes that develop in the glass. Saline notes give the 2013 much of its energy and vivacity. This is a tremendous effort from Ridge.Taylor's Fladgate 1970 (nicky's)
Size750MLVintage1970SKU27815
In the mouth, the wine is out of this world, displaying layer upon layer of concentrated black fruits backed by well-integrated tannin and structure. It possesses awesome fruit, marvelous intensity, and lavish opulence, all brilliantly well-delineated by the wine's formidable structure. 100pts Wine Advocate (1992)
Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva
Size750MLVintage1983SKU6306
Medium- to full-bodied with well integrated tannins. Compelling damp earth notes balanced with raisinated black cherry and plum fruit characters, licorice and creme brulee. Complex and intriguing with a moderately long finish.
G. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Le Haut Lieu
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size750MLVintage1934SKU6116
To anyone who knows Vouvray, Huet needs no introduction. This estate enjoys a reputation second to none. The wines originate from three superb individual vineyards: Le Haut Lieu, Clos du Bourg and Le Mont. Le Haut Lieu, surrounding the late Mr Huet's home, was already considered one of the best vineyard sites in the region as early as the 15th century. The resulting wines are very special. Sometimes austere and closed when young these wines age beautifully. They are the expression of the Chenin Blanc at its best. The sweet wines from the great vintages are the stars. They may be kept for 50 years or more and still show their gorgeous honey botrytised flavours over layers of rich unctuous fruit.
G. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Le Haut Lieu
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size750MLVintage1945SKU6117
Rich and unctuous, there is texture and power but the wine is not overly sweet as any residual is beautifully balanced with bright, cleansing acidity. There was plenty of botrytis in '45 and this gives the wine a wonderfully spicy, savoury edge. Great length and endless complexity. A once in a lifetime experience.
Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size1.5LVintage2005SKU8239
Thoroughly primal, with a torrent of raspberry and boysenberry fruit rushing forth. Only shows hints of its full range, with licorice, incense, graphite and mocha flavors fluttering in the background. Has an iron-clad structure, with a long finish that shows great cut and grip. Best from 2009 through 2025. 96 Points Wine Spectator (2005)
Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva
Size750MLVintage1985SKU6305
Very sweet, aromatic, bold and complex. Ripe sweet red fruits with some spice. The palate is sweet and rich with lovely spicy, bold red fruits and grippy structure. A remarkable wine with lots of impact.
Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva
Size1.5LVintage1995SKU5898
The 1995 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva is a towering, majestic wine of heroic proportions. This big, full-bodied wine flows across the palate with remarkable depth, expansiveness and purity. There are tons of ripe dark fruit here, along with nuances of leather, spices and sweet tobacco. This opulent wine builds on the finish, where it displays superb staying power. 97pts Wine Advocate (1995)

Size6LVintage2006SKU9621
A wonderfully perfumed nose of violets, crushed blackberries, black cherries, mace and cloves leading into some smoked meat and mocha aromas with swirling. Very structured on the palate with high acidity, a medium to high level of fine tannins and a full body providing plenty of flesh in the mid-palate. 96 Points Antonio Galloni-Wine Advocate (2006)
