These just came open… Please give me your wish and I will see if I can find enough partners to make it happen. Of course, if you just wanna grab an entire case, then you won’t need a partner. Wines marked with * come in six packs. The three that stand out are below, followed by a complete listing. These will arrive in 3-4 weeks.
Rauzan Segla Margaux 2005 - $241 per – 97 WS / 97 JS / 97 VN / 96 WE / 95 WA / 95 JD – “The finest wine made at this estate since 2000, the 2005 Rauzan-Ségla checks in as a brilliant blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It has a touch of lightening at the rim, but it’s still youthfully ruby-colored and offers a fabulous bouquet of cassis, toasted spices, dried tobacco, and graphite. It has lots of sweet tannins, a full-bodied, opulent mouthfeel, terrific density, and a great finish. It has some maturity and is drinking great today, yet I’d say it has upwards of another two decades of longevity. It’s a beautiful wine and one of the gems in the lineup.” JD 5/2019
*Lynch Bages Pauillac 2005 - $307 per – 96 WS / 96 JS / 96 WE / 95+ VN – “Textbook, with mouthfilling and slightly gutsy black currant, fig and blackberry fruit flavors bound together by singed cedar, iron and tobacco notes. Features a tug of loam followed by a second wave of fruit through the finish. This is just starting to stretch out. Best from 2020 through 2040.” WS 12/2017
Leoville Barton St. Julien 2000 - $291 per - 96 WS / 96 JS / 96 WE / 95+ WA – “Hello. Take textbook St.-Julien warmed fig, blueberry compote and blackberry reduction notes along with ample graphite, bramble and tobacco flavors, then dial it up a notch. This has terrific energy to offset the admirable depth and length, and hasn't even started a second phase yet. One of the stars of the vintage. Best from 2018 through 2033.” WS 12/2015
