Burgundy | 2 | 94-96 (VN) | $1,445.00 | |||||
Vinous (94-96)The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru includes 25% whole bunch fruit. The bouquet shows much more complexity compared with the Charmes-Chambertin: crushed limestone sprinkled over the blackberry and blueberry fruit, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, assiduously judged acidity and a mineral-driven finish that seems to lacquer the mouth after it has departed. This is a superb Clos Saint-Denis from Amiot-Servelle that should age with panache. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2020 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is raised in 50% new oak with 42% whole bunch. The bouquet shows a little more transparency and mineralité than the Charmes, quite focused at first, becoming more expansive with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh, superb tension with a sorbet-fresh yet structured finish. This is excellent. |

Champagne | 1 | 94 (VN) | $511.00 | |||||
Vinous (94)The NV Brut Grand Cru Classe 1911 is best described as a multi-vintage wine, composed of 50% 1996 and 25% each 1995 and 1997. I have had the 1911 at least four times over the last few months and never been anything less than deeply impressed. A richly-textured, expansive Champagne, the 1911 bursts from the glass with expressive layers of perfumed Pinot fruit. The wine possesses stunning depth, clarity and precision in an utterly engaging style, with never-ending waves of fruit that caress the palate from start to finish. Precise chalky notes frame a sublime finish. Simply put this is remarkable juice, and one of the best relative values readers will find in Champagne. The 1911 is 100% Pinot Noir made from various lieu-dits in Bouzy. Disgorged September 7, 2009. |

Rhone | 1 | 93+ (WA) | $537.00 | |||||
Wine Advocate (93+)Brought up in 20% new oak, the 2013 Condrieu Coteau du Chery is a bigger, richer, more concentrated wine in the vintage than the Clos Chanson (which is the opposite from 2014). A touch unruly at the moment and in need of six to 12 months in bottle, it offers serious notes of caramelized stone fruits, apple blossom and honeysuckle to go with full-bodied richness, a big mid-palate, and plenty of cut and definition on the finish. It should be at its best from 2017-2021. |

Rhone | 1 | 95 (VN) | $1,170.00 | |||||
Vinous (95)Translucent yellow. Seductively perfumed aromas of passion fruit, pear nectar, white peach and orange zest, along with suggestions of jasmine and tarragon. At once concentrated and lively, offering vibrant, mineral-laced orchard and pit fruit flavors that are complicated by a suave, steadily building floral nuance. Finishes with a strong jolt of minerality, repeating florality and noteworthy persistence. This wine's blend of power and finesse is quite something. |

Bordeaux | 1 | 92 (WA) | $4,660.00 | |||||
Wine Advocate (92)In the new classification of St.-Emilion, justice was certainly served with the elevation of Angelus to premier grand cru classe status. No Bordeaux estate has been making as concentrated and consistently high quality wines as has Angelus since 1988. Even in the rain-plagued vintage of 1992, Angelus produced a wine of uncommon power, ripeness, and intensity. This estate is in many ways symbolic of what heights Bordeaux can achieve when a property is managed by someone as passionate and driven as Hubert de Bouard. As I have been writing for the last decade, these are wines to buy at first release; they can only go up in price given their quality. One of the four or five most concentrated wines of the vintage, this opaque, black/purple-colored 1993 offers an intensely fragrant nose of smoke, olives, chocolate, black fruits, hickory, and sweet, spicy oak. Amazingly rich and full-bodied, with massive extract, it is almost unbelievable that this wine could have been produced in a vintage such as 1993. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 15-18 years. |
