1 Château Angelus - Vintage 1995 St. Emilion (Wines Located in New York) “A superb effort in this vintage, Angelus's opaque purple-colored 1995 is a massive, powerful, rich offering with plenty of ripe, sweet tannin. The wine's aromatics include scents of Provencal olives, jammy black cherries, blackberries, truffles, and toast. A very full-bodied wine, it is layered, thick, and pure. This is the most concentrated of the 1995 St.-Emilion premier grand crus.”(95pts) 1 bottle per lot $200-260 2 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 2003 St. Estephe gsl, nl (Wines Located in New York) “…an inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by a compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, pain grille, incense, and flowers. With extraordinary richness, full body, and remarkable freshness, elegance, and persistence, this is one of the finest wines ever made by this estate.”(98pts) 1 bottle per lot $160-220 3 Château Cos d'Estournel - Vintage 2005 St. Estephe (Wines Located in New York) “Black in color, with aromas of orange peel, new leather, currant, berry and Christmas pudding.

It is always fascinating to taste this wine next to the 1989, which is a monumental effort, but much more backward and denser, without the aromatic complexity of the 1990. The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion's standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top vintage.”(98pts) 1 bottle per lot $500-700 5 Château La Mission Haut Brion - Vintage 1982 Graves (Wines Located in New York) “A thick, unctuously-textured wine with massive richness as well as abundant notes of black fruits, truffles, creosote, scorched earth, smoke, and camphor, a colossal mouthfeel, a layered texture, incredible depth of fruit and glycerin, and copious, but well-integrated tannins that are largely concealed by the incredible amount of fruit.

337 Château Cheval Blanc - Vintage 1982St. Emilionts, lbsl, sdc (Wines Located in New York)“Revealing considerable amber in its dark plum/garnet color, this intensely fragrant 1982 is somewhat of a paradox in that the front end suggests full maturity, but the mid-palate, finish, and overall texture denote a closed wine. A gorgeously sweet entry displays flavors of caramel, roasted coffee, jammy red and black fruits, coconut, and smoke. It is fat and full-bodied, with considerable tannin, structure, and muscle in the finish. Flamboyantly rich and precocious early in life, it is going through an awkward stage where the tannin is present, but it is also sexy, juicy, and formidably-structured. When the 1982 Cheval Blanc's component parts become totally in sync, it will be capable of meriting a three-digit rating.”(99pts)1 bottle per lot $600-800

Adamant stoniness; iodine; apricot kernel, plum pit, and cherry stone bitterness as well as a firm texture lend the palate a certain austerity and restraint, without the meltingly savory crustacean or musky animal dimensions I usually associate with this site.

Vibrantly interactive and faintly sizzling in finish, this practically takes your breath away, and should continue dazzling for a decade or more.

658 Barolo - Vintage 1990Pajana, Clerico(Wines Located in New York)“In 1990 Clerico produced a special cuvée of Barolo called Pajana, from a tiny parcel of vines within the Ginestra vineyard. The wine was aged for 18 months in 100% new oak casks. The only evidence of the new oak is some spicy vanillin and smoke in the nose, which should give readers a good idea of this wine's splendid concentration of black and red fruits. Exceptionally long and sweet (because of the great ripeness and tiny yields), the wine's finish lasts for more than a minute. An intoxicating perfume of black fruits, spices, and smoke, with a touch of hickory and licorice makes this a totally profound wine.”(96pts)3 bottles per lot $300-400

Cassis, cedar, spice box, minerals, and vanillin are all present, but this opaque black/purple Pauillac has yet to reveal secondary nuances given its youthfulness. It exhibits huge tannin, unreal levels of glycerin and concentration, and spectacular sweetness and opulence. Nevertheless, it demands another decade of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for another seven or eight decades. I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years!

771 Châteauneuf du Pape - Vintage 2009Collection 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)

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)12 bottles per lot $1200-1600

825 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 2001Madrona Ranch3bsl, 1ltl (Wines Located in New York)“While I am not surprised that the 2001 Thorevilos turned out to be perfect, the 2001 Madrona Ranch was more of an eye-opener in that it has become even more extraordinary than I predicted eight years ago. A prodigious wine, with complex notes of subtle barbecue smoke intermixed with blueberry pie, black currant liqueur, acacia flowers, lead pencil shavings, and sweet foresty floor notes, this wine builds incrementally with layer upon layer of fruit, glycerin and concentration. The finish goes well past a minute, and the wine is full-bodied and deep, with wonderfully sweet tannin. It is still an adolescent in terms of its total evolution, but it is irresistible simply because of the flawless nature of the wine and incredible perfume and flavor intensity. Simply amazing! Both of these wines are adolescents, and probably won't peak for another 5-8 years and keep for 30-40.”(100pts)3 bottles per lot $900-1200

The wine has smoky, earthy notes intermixed with graphite, camphor, damp earth, jammy cassis, cedar, and a hint of mushroom. Enormous, even monstrous in the mouth, with tremendous extraction, broodingly backward, dense flavors, and copious tannins, this should prove to be one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage and one of the most compelling Leoville Bartons ever made.”(96pts)1 bottle per lot $110-150

I don't think this big, chewy, voluptuously textured wine will ever close down. Dark plum/garnet with the classic Provencal display of garrigue, lavender, pepper, kirsch and Asian plum sauce, this full-throttle wine has splendid concentration, silky tannins, and a very voluptuous texture.”(98pts)1 Jeroboam per lot $400-600

Cassis, cedar, spice box, minerals, and vanillin are all present, but this opaque black/purple Pauillac has yet to reveal secondary nuances given its youthfulness. It exhibits huge tannin, unreal levels of glycerin and concentration, and spectacular sweetness and opulence. Nevertheless, it demands another decade of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for another seven or eight decades. I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years!

1559 Château Canon - Vintage 1982St. Emilion6bsl, 6wasl (Wines Located in New York)“This had a great nose, with that St, Emilion/Cab Franc thing happening, again with violets but also with great musk. The wine was round and tasty with nice stones, herbs and purple kink. It, too, was on the border of outstanding, but it just made it across. A real pleaser, especially given the price in the market.”(95pts JK)6 bottles per lot $900-1200

1560 Château Canon La Gaffeliere - Vintage 2000St. Emilion(Wines Located in New York)“This is a triumphant 2000, flamboyant, super-concentrated, yet classic in proportions. Lavish notes of roasted espresso, melted chocolate, creme de cassis, toasty new oak, and Asian spices jump from the glass of this sensationally perfumed, rather ostentatious 2000. It is enormously concentrated and pure, with low acidity and exquisite balance. Remarkably, in spite of its large size, viscosity, and opulence, it is fresh and delineated. Potentially the finest Canon-la-Gaffeliere made to date…”(95pts)3 bottles per lot $220-300

1561 Château Clinet - Vintage 1993Pomerol3bsl (Wines Located in New York)“The 1993 Clinet should rival the 1993 Pétrus (perhaps the strongest candidate for the wine of the vintage). Given its black/purple color and huge, ripe, pure nose of black-raspberries, licorice, vanillin, and sweet truffle scents, Clinet is one of the most concentrated wines of the vintage, with an inner-core of sweet, expansive, intense fruit, medium to full body, noticeable, firm tannin, and a long, closed but rich finish.”(90pts)3 bottles per lot $150-200

1563 Château Gruaud Larose - Vintage 1983St. Julien2bn, 1ts, 6cc (Wines Located in New York)“Typical of the wines this property made in the late seventies and early eighties, it offers a full throttle style, an opaque dark ruby/purple color with no amber at the edges, and a huge nose of melted road tar, new saddle leather, grilled meats, and black fruits. It is sure to be controversial among those tasters looking for only new oak and fruit aromas. Powerful, spicy, and full-bodied, with surprising viscosity for a 1983, this wine's low acidity allows it to be appreciated now, but there are still formidable quantities of sweet tannins in the finish.”(92pts)6 bottles per lot $600-800

1564 Château Haut Marbuzet - Vintage 1986St. Estephe

4hbsl, 4wasl (Wines Located in New York)“…has continued to improve in the bottle.

1566 Château Lagrange - Vintage 1990St. Julien6bsl (Wines Located in New York)“This muscular, thick, unctuous, lavishly-oaked wine may cause raised eyebrows by those looking for something restrained and understated. There is no doubting the hedonistic appeal of this style of wine. The 1990 is another massive, highly-extracted, boldly-wooded, spicy, dark purple-colored wine with high tannin, low acidity, and layers of jammy fruit. The huge glycerin and massive mouthfeel in this unctuously-textured wine are difficult to ignore. I suspect this wine will become more defined after it loses its baby fat.”(93pts)6 bottles per lot $500-700

1567 Château Margaux - Vintage 1982Margauxbn, scl, cc (Wines Located in New York)“We transitioned to the remaining four First Growths in the next flight, beginning with a phenomenal bottle of 1982 Margaux (sourced from Château). The Margaux had a pungent nose, and its t n a jumped out at first. It also had cinnamon, iron, rock and gorgeous perfume. It was beyond licorice according to Dan, and Australian John admired its cherry liqueur. The palate was rocky without the horror but with the picture show, not its usual feminine self, Ray observed. Though spiny and long, the Margaux was still stylish with a touch of that Margaux elegance. This was a great bottle of this wine, and it ended up being wine of the flight, outshowing all the other First Growths.”(97pts JK)1 bottle per lot $600-800

1568 Château Montrose - Vintage 1994St. Estephe12lbsl (Wines Located in New York)“… is a 65% Cabernet Sauvignon/25% Merlot/10% Cabernet Franc blend. More similar to the 1990 than the 1989, the 1994 exhibits an opaque purple color. The nose offers intense, overripe cassis aromas mixed with minerals, vanilla, and floral scents. Extremely powerful and remarkably concentrated, this unctuously-textured, massive wine is crammed with highly-extracted fruit that nearly masks a tannin level equal to that achieved in 1990.”(91pts)12 bottles per lot $750-1000

This gigantically sized, tannic, backward effort boasts a saturated inky purple color followed by a huge nose of acacia flavors, crushed blackberries, creme de cassis, vanilla, hickory smoke, and minerals. Extremely full-bodied, powerful, dense, and multi-layered, this unreal Montrose should last for 30+ years.”(96pts)2 bottles per lot $240-320
