FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size500MLVintage2003SKU8125
Offers a stunning array of date, quince paste, fig and persimmon aromas and flavors, with a laser of acidity carrying it all through an extremely lengthy finish. Just when you think it's all opulence, riveting acidity and a green tea hint flash on the finish, leaving a wonderfully elegant impression. 98pts Wine Spectator (2003)
Domaine Humbert Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8355
This is clearly the ripest wine with an exceptionally pretty nose of fresh red pinot fruit nuanced by notes of game, warm earth and underbrush that is also picked up on the supple, sweet and detailed flavors on the muscled and beautifully long finish. Recommended. Outstanding! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Jacques Prieur Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8277
A completely different aromatic profile is presented as here the nose is much more earth dominated with a mix of red, black and violet notes that sit atop rich, full and notably serious medium full flavors that offer excellent volume and here too a bit of wood surfaces on the youthfully austere finish. The mouth feel is quite firm yet the tannins are relatively fine. Excellent quality. Allen Meadows - Burghound
U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA - RED - OTHER REDS/BLENDS
Size750MLVintage2009SKU16188
Aromas of black olive and minerals underlie more traditional notes of dark chocolate, cola and espresso. Showing flavors of ripe blueberry, cassis and licorice, this age-worthy wine simultaneously offers a smooth finish and a slight grip of tannin at the close. 90pts Stephen Tanzer-IWC (2009)
Roberto Voerzio Cerequio Barolo
Size750MLVintage2000SKU864
Warm, potent, and very expansive notes of red fruit, licorice, smoke, and caramel announce that this is a wine of superior concentration. The packed and supple palate, sweet, mouth-filling and tongue-coating, plush and deep personality only confirms this initial impression. 95 points Wine Advocate (2000)
U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA - RED - CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Size750MLVintage2006SKU12026
Smooth, rich and creamy, with mocha-laced plum and black cherry fruit that's elegant, stylish, full-bodied and complex, ending with a long, firm, concentrated finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. 93 points Wine Spectator (2006)
Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Rose Champagne
Size750MLVintage1998SKU4609
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.
Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Rose Champagne
Size750MLVintage2000SKU8461
The Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon is refined and elegant, with lovely depth and richness in its fragrant fruit. It is weightier than the NV Brut Rose yet everything is simply in the right place. 93pts Wine Advocate
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)
Chapoutier Ermitage Le Meal Blanc

Size750MLVintage2009SKU16327
Chateau de la Tour Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6278
A deeply pitched and very ripe nose of earthy violet aromas trimmed in subtle wood spice notes introduces rich, full and powerful flavors that possess excellent mid-palate sap that helps to buffer the very firm and dense tannic spine on the youthfully austere finish. This is a very serious no-nonsense wine clearly built for long aging. Allen Meadows-Burghound
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT ESTEPHE
Size750MLVintage2003SKU3832
It boasts a dense black purple color in addition to an extraordinary bouquet of scorched earth, blackberries, and cassis, fabulous purity, and substantial tannin in the finish. This superb, huge, ripe wine is one of the vintage
Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey St Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7838
Noticeable if not dominant wood spice frames an earthy mix of both red and black berry fruit aromas complements the rich, full and generous mouth coating flavors that offer excellent intensity, all wrapped in a finish that sports completely buried tannins and fine length. Good juice and excellent potential. Outstanding! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Humbert Fr?res Gevrey-Chambertin ""Estournelles St.-Jacques
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7339
This too is extremely fresh and vibrant with a highly expressive nose dominated by an intense minerality on the bright, elegant and airy red pinot fruit and hints of floral and violet notes that can also be found on the ripe, rich, full and stony flavors that are a model of harmony and transparency. This is textbook, indeed crystalline Estournelles and highly recommended.
Far Niente Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Napa Valley
U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA - RED - CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Size750MLVintage1990SKU6576
This ugly ducklimg has certainly grown into a beautiful swan. Disjointed and rough upon release this now shows beautifully with characters you would expect to find in a well aged Bordeaux.
G. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size500MLVintage1997SKU4707
The stunning, virtually perfect, 1997 Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance is so captivatingly pure, focused, and intricate as to be all but impossible to adequately describe. On the palate fresh peaches, citrus fruits, honey, acacia blossoms, quinine, chalk, and lemony mangoes can be found. Additionally, this medium-to-full-bodied, penetrating, yet perfectly balanced wine has a finish that seemingly lingers forever, revealing even more waves of minerals and fruit. 99pts Wine Advocate (1997)!
Maison Nicolas Potel Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7816
Deep ruby. A strongly reduced nose gives up little but the well-muscled flavors are big, robust and very powerful and possess the class young Clos de Vougeot youthful austerity. This is very primary and awkward yet the quality of the raw material is clear and this should reward 10 to 15 years of cellar time.allen meadows-Burghound
Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Napa Valley
U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA - RED - CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Size1.5LVintage2003SKU5165
The rich and intense 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has a saturated ruby/purple color and is sweet and dark, with a complex nose of creme de cassis, blackberry, subtle oak, and smoke. It is medium to full-bodied and seems richer, fuller, and more intense than the 2004, but again reminds me of a St.-Julien made in Napa. 94pts Robert Parker-Wine Advocate (2003)

FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT JULIEN
Size750MLVintage1995SKU14212
This wine is of first-growth quality, not only from an intellectual perspective, but in its hedonistic characteristics.It is a classic, compelling example of Ducru-Beaucaillou that should not be missed. 95pts Wine Advocate (1995)
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PESSAC-LEOGNAN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU5020
Probably the greatest Pape-Clement ever made, the dense purple-colored 2005 exhibits sumptuous notes of smoky scorched earth, graphite, melted licorice, and blackberries. Once past the exquisite perfume, the wine reveals full body, extraordinary concentration, plenty of chocolate, smoke, cassis, and blackberry flavors. 98 points Robert Parker
