Duhart Milon - Pauillac 1997
US$153.38 This impressively saturated dark ruby/purple-colored wine offers up copious quantities of sweet black currant fruit, vanilla, and minerals.

Carruades de Lafite - Pauillac 2008
US$186.89 A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the 2008 exhibits graphite, sandalwood, black and red currant, chocolate and damp earth characteristics in its elegant, medium to full-bodied, fresh, lively personality.

Bruno Clair Chambertin Clos de Beze 2007
US$204.93 Bruno Clair describes 2008 as "one of the rare vintages in recent memory where we had the sugar but not the phenolic ripeness that we wanted so it was absolutely necessary to wait. The summer was mediocre and we were beginning to think that nothing was ever going to get ripe. I remember being at a dinner on the...

Beychevelle - St.Julien 2010
US$89.58 Showing better from bottle than it did from barrel, where it was also impressive, but not quite at this level, the 2010 Beychevelle displays sweet black currant, black cherry, foresty notes, medium to full-bodied texture with impressive purity and moderately high tannins (although they’ve softened considerably during the wine’s upbringing in barrel). Layered and rich for a Beychevelle, this...

Arnoux Lachaux Vosne Romanee 2010
US$76.69 Pascal Lachaux describes 2010 as a "classic vintage of elegant and pretty wines of finesse and purity. Unfortunately, there won't be much of them as quantities for us were down between 10 and 60% depending on the vineyard. We began picking on the 26th of September and brought in very clean fruit with good sugars and excellent acidities. There...

Araujo Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
US$302.89 The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is one of the great wines of the vintage. It brings together gorgeous aromatics, juicy, expressive red fruit and silky tannins. Now seemingly past a period of closure post-bottling, the 2009 looks like a wine that will drink well pretty much throughout its entire life. The 2009 is a totally sexy Cabernet endowed...

Antinori Solaia 2007
US$255.20 The 2007 Solaia saturates the palate with a heady array of super-ripe black cherries, plums, cassis, mocha and sweet French oak. There is an exotic quality to the Solaia I find totally irresistible. Despite its considerable ripeness and opulence, the 2007 Solaia is never heavy, rather it impresses for its extraordinary finesse and balance. Minerals, graphite and crushed rocks...

Gaja Sito Moresco 2012
US$40.47 Superbly made. Elegant, balanced with exotic layers of flavour in this full-bodied Italian red wine. Everything comes together without any one element dominating. Long finish. This robust red is a blend of Nebbiolo, Cabernet and Merlot grapes from the Piedmontese DOC region, Langhe. The climate here allows nurtures these grape varieties, which allows true stars like this producer to...

Bruno Clair Gevrey Chambertin 2011
US$72.31 The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques comes from the bottom of the slope, unlike the Cazetiers, from vines that were planted in 1957 and 1972. It offers an engaging, fragrant bouquet that seems more harmonious than the Cazetiers, with pure fresh strawberry, Morello cherry and orange peel - the essence of Pinote in a way. The palate...

Pauillac de Latour - 2008
US$72.82 The third wine of the prestigious Château Latour, Pauillac de Latour is made from a selection of wine from young vines and vats that do not meet the very strict criteria for the Château’s top wines. Knowing the zeal with which the estate selects their grapes, the quality of the wine is still of the highest order, and Pauillac...

Sociando Mallet - Haut Medoc 2000
US$72.31 This is a beautiful wine and certainly one of the great sleepers of the vintage. I originally predicted that this wine would be at full maturity between 2007 and 2028, but I would push that back by a good 4-5 years. Still inky/purple, with notes of acacia flowers intermixed with wet rocks, black currants, and blueberries, the wine is...
