| VM 94 (3/2018): The 2014 Haut-Bailly has a sophisticated bouquet with cedar and gravel-infused red berry fruit, gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite supple tannins that manage to form a firm frame that should see this repay cellaring. There is plenty of attractive, lightly spice red and black fruit, segueing into clove and black olive notes towards the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin |

| WA 89 (6/2007): While muscular, hard tannins are cause for concern, the structured, broodingly backward 2004 Trotanoy possesses plenty of meaty black cherry, forest floor, and damp earth characteristics. If everything comes together, it may merit an outstanding score, but at present, the sharpness/astringency of the tannin is troubling. Patience will definitely be required. |

| |
| VM 90 (11/1998): Dark red. Reticent but pure aromas of bitter cherry, redcurrant, smoke, mint and earth. Supple and intensely flavored; ripe, easygoing and fairly open knit. Fat and rich. Finishes with fine tannins and spicy persistence. Stephen Tanzer. |

| Edmond Vatan |
2004 |
Sancerre Clos la Neore Cracked Wax Capsule; Exposed Cork |
$400 |
1 |
|
| |
| WA 91 (8/2007): Edmond Vatan - along with the Cotats, one of the few arch-traditionalists remaining in Sancerre - retired in 2003 and his heirs will not, at least for now, bottle wine from his Chavignol vines. But he intends to continue bottling a tiny amount for friends, and 50 cases of a 2004 Sancerre Clos la Neore were shipped to the U. S. Aromas of tangerine, lime, sage, lemon grass, and szechuan peppers pungently impinge on the nose. Abundant citrus, herb and chalk informs a palpably dense, oily-textured but briskly refreshing palate. This finishes with superb length and complexity of citrus, herb and mineral albeit with exceeding brightness and with a certain hard underlying austerity. Vatan’s wines are formidable agers (the first vintage shipped to the U.S. - 1988 - is still extraordinary) and this vintage positively demands time in the cellar of those lucky enough to acquire any. |

|
| |
| WS 92 (4/2009): Restrained, with nice concentration for the vintage, as chive and thistle flower, lime zest and flint notes all mingle through the long, surprisingly creamy finish. Very detailed in the end. Impressive for the vintage. Drink now through 2011. 50 cases imported. |

| VM 88 (7/2013): Passion fruit, peach and lime make for an enticing bouquet. Bright, clean and crisp, with a refreshing balance and taut structure highlighting its stone and citrus fruit flavors. One more glass, please! Joel Payne. |

Hochrain Smaragd Riesling |
$75 |
1 |
|
| |
| WA 95 (6/2008): The 2006 Riesling Smaragd Hochrain smells beautifully of fresh lemon and lime, pungent hedge flowers and herbs. As so often, this wine has a clarity and class all its own. Citrus, yellow plum, distilled red fruits, almond extract, flowers and herbs billow across the palate, and an expansive, juicy finish offers both more sheer refreshment and more intriguing interplay than possessed by any other wine in this collection. Enjoy this beauty anytime over the coming decade. |

2007 |
Singerriedel Smaragd Riesling |
$99 |
1 |
|
| |
| WA 95 (2/2009): From the top of one’s nose to the tail of its finish, the Hirtzberger 2007 Riesling Smaragd Singerriedel offers unusual notes of resin and pine needles, along with budleia and the more usual ripe apricot. Just as in approaching this year’s Honivogel, after the performance of the Hochrain I was anticipating perhaps too much ripeness and rot in Singerriedel, but there is only a subtle and very noble overlay of honey. Nut paste, apricot and white peach with their pits, honey, and malt inform this opulent, creamy, yet not in the least heavy Riesling, and they carry into a clear, pure, buoyant, juicy, still subtly honeyed finish. This eloquent and uncannily-balanced wine should stand up to 8-10 years in the cellar. |

Achleiten Riesling Smaragd |
$69 |

|
| |
WA 95 (2/2009): A site-typical concentration of fresh white peach, buddleia, iris, lime, and pungent mineral suggestions greets you from the glass of Bodenstein’s 2007 Riesling Smaragd Achleiten. This also displays the amazing, Achleiten-typical interplay of pit fruit, citrus, nut oils, and stony, savory, mysteriously pungent elements that taste as though they must have been mined from the earth. A certain cool restraint, yet amazing subtle length puts me in mind of the supernal 1997, once that wine hit its stride. I would expect 8-10 years of wonder.
VM 94 (12/2008): Medium green-yellow. The typical smoky flint of the Achleiten is displayed in the bouquet along with yellow peach and delicate blossom honey. Very elegant and yellow-peachy in the mouth, with a veritable peacock's tail of finishing fruit harmoniously supported by vibrant acidity. Rich extract lends texture and finesse. Already quite attractive but has the potential for further development in bottle. This paired wonderfully with sole in a crayfish and Pernod sauce with fennel and red beetroot. Drink now to 2022.
WS 91 (12/2009): Rich and zesty, with an enticing array of peach, apple and tropical fruit flavors that are powered by lip-smacking spice and cream notes. Very lush and plush. Drink now through 2012. 75 cases imported. |

VM 93 (3/2016): Inky ruby. Powerful smoke- and spice-accented aromas of ripe dark fruits, cured tobacco, vanilla and cedary oak, all lifted by a suave floral topnote. Stains the palate with concentrated cassis and cherry-vanilla flavors, with zesty acidity and a strong suggestion of peppery spices giving the wine lift. At once rich and lithe, this Cabernet finishes with strong thrust, a touch of smoky minerality and harmonious shaping tannins. Josh Raynolds.
WA 91 (4/2016): Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series has a fragrant nose of crushed blackcurrants, blackberries and dried Provence herbs with hints of black pepper, cedar, menthol and undergrowth. Medium-bodied, it has a great core of muscular, youthful fruit with grainy, approachable tannins and a refreshing herbal lift to the finish. |
