Chateau Pavie St. Emilion Grand Cru
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2005SKU8571
An exquisite perfume of blackberry liqueur, unsmoked cigar tobacco, crushed rocks, damp earth, and hints of truffles and incense. The vineyard's soils have provided massive concentration, a laser like precision, fresh, zesty acidity, and massive tannin. Despite the wine's enormous concentration and intensity, there is a lightness to its style. 98+pts RP Wine Advocate (2005)
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..
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)
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
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.

G. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Le Haut Lieu
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size750MLVintage1947SKU6118
This epic wine is the result of one of the greatest vintages and truly one of the greatest winemakers in history. It is simply one of the best wines ever made...by anyone!
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)
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
Size1.5LVintage2005SKU8239
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)

Size750MLVintage2006SKU11546
Boasting an inky/blue/purple color as well as an extraordinary, precise bouquet of minerals, flowers, blueberry liqueur, and black currants, this wine possesses fabulous fruit and great intensity, but what makes it so special is its precision, focus, and almost ethereal lightness despite substantial flavor intensity and depth. It is a ballerina with density and power. 98 pts Wine Advocate (2006)
