WA 95 (7/2017): The 2005 Haut Bailly is rapidly turning into a glorious wine. You instantly fall in love with the purity on the nose, luscious red cherries, wild strawberry and blueberry. This is still youthful and beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a structured opening like many in this vintage. It exerts a gentle grip in the mouth, quite tensile and linear and perhaps just tightening up a tad toward the finish. It is biding its time, but it will repay those who cellar this outstanding 2005 for another four or five years.
NM 95 (2/2015): The Château Haut-Bailly 2005 has a really quite fabulous bouquet with exuberant red and black fruit: sage, red currants, juniper and warm roof tiles on a summer's day. The palate is medium-bodied with layers and layers of grippy black fruit laced with black truffle and wild mushroom. It is incredibly well balanced with perfect acidity, the structure and backbone on the finish suggesting this will be a very "long-runner". Outstanding.
JS 95 (4/2012): This shows a great purity of fruit; firm and direct notes of raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries that open to intense notes of fresh flowers. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins. This wine is tight and long -- you know this is good immediately. Pull the cork after 2016.
WS 95 (3/2008): Dark purple in color. Offers pure fruit, with crushed raspberry, blackberry and dried flowers on the nose. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins that touch every inch of the palate. Long and racy, with elegance and beauty harking back to bygone days. Best after 2015. 6,665 cases made.
VM 92+ (6/2008): Good bright medium ruby. Deep aromas of plum, currant, tobacco, mocha and menthol. Superripe and rich but with superb ripe acidity and firm tannins currently keeping the fruit and mineral elements under wraps. Just this side of severe today: here's a 2005 that appears already to have shut down in the bottle. Best today on the back end, where the wine really spreads out horizontally to saturate the palate. I'd give it a good 12 years of aging; it should be very long-lived. Classy, sharply chiseled Haut-Bailly with noteworthy elegance. Stephen Tanzer. |

Pessac Leognan Blanc Very Lightly Bin-Soiled Label |
$109 |

JS 97 (2/2016): Fantastic aromas of papaya, lemons, and pears with hints of cream. Full body, very layered and intense. Superb flavors and intensity. Vibrant acidity and freshness. Lasts so long on the palate. One of the wines of the vintage. A blend of 54% semillon, 36% sauvignon blanc, 8% sauvignon gris and 2% muscadelle. Drink or hold.
WS 95 (3/2016): This is on the showy side, with toasted macadamia nut, butter and creamed white peach aromas and flavors leading the way, followed by warm shortbread, mirabelle plum and lemon curd notes that stretch through the lengthy finish. Almost languid, but a fine thread of verbena maintains the tension while allowing the hedonistic side to strut its stuff. Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle. Drink now through 2020. 1,583 cases made.
WA 94-96 (8/2014): Strikingly concentrated, a la a grand cru white Burgundy, the 2013 Pape Clement exhibits notes of orange zest, white currants, flowers, exotic mango and melony fruit. This medium to full-bodied, compellingly deep, fresh white wine should drink well for 10-20 years. It is a candidate for the white wine of the vintage in Bordeaux.
VM 90-93 (5/2014): Bright straw. Lively aromas and flavors of fresh citrus fruit and white flowers are complicated by nuances of custard cream, vanilla bean and fresh herbs. Builds nicely in concentration and complexity in the mouth, finishing with lingering bright acidity that does not hide the wine's underlying opulent mouthfeel. Ian d'Agata.
NM 90 (10/2016): The 2013 Pape Clement Blanc does not quite deliver the precision of the Smith-Haut-Lafitte Blanc 2013 this year, the oak is still quite pronounced and eroding some of the detail. The palate is well balanced with lime and citrus peel on the entry, hints of toffee apple emerging towards the finish that, again, feels a little oaky. I was hoping for more after the commendable 2013 Pape Clement Rouge, though it still might appeal to those who like their white Bordeaux with a hedonistic bent. |

Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens Slightly Depressed Cork; Signs of Old Seepage; Bin-Soiled Label |
$295 |

|
| |
| WA 94 (12/1992): Believe it or not, the 1990 Pommard-Les Rugiens is even richer than the 1990 Pommard-Les Epenots! It is a 25-40 year wine - a rarity in Burgundy. Also massively endowed, with port-like Pinot Noir fruit, this is a wine of extraordinary concentration, majestic stature, and prodigious potential for longevity. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2035+. |

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Goulots Vieilles Vignes Lightly Bin-Soiled Label |
$225 |
1 |
|
| |
VM 92-94 (3/2014): The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Goulots stands out for its aromatic lift and pure expressiveness. The Goulots blossoms in all directions, with layers of bright, intensely perfumed fruit and compelling overall balance. Seamless and beautiful, the 2011 impresses for its exceptional overall harmony. The cool site on the top of the slope complements some of the more overt qualities of the year. Sweet dark cherries, mint and cloves flow through to the inviting finish. (Drink between 2016-2031). Antonio Galloni.
BH 90-92 (1/2013): This is also exceptionally fresh and expressive with an aromatic profile of upper range red berry fruit, wet stone and a hint of underbrush. There is excellent refinement to the moderate firm tannic spine that gives shape to the intense and sappy medium-bodied flavors that exude a natural sweetness on the agreeably dry and clean finish. Good stuff. (Drink starting 2018). |

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru |
$200 |

|
| |
| BH 92 (1/2011): Here the ripe and distinctly earthy somber red berry fruit aromas are very much in keeping with the rich, serious, earth-infused and ever-so-slightly rustic full-bodied flavors that are powerful, muscular and culminate in an austere, focused and strikingly long finish. A classic and presently brooding Clos de Vougeot that should age extremely well. (Drink starting 2018). |

Cornas Bin-Soiled Label; Scuffed Label |
$250 |
1 |
|

WA 93 (2/2006): The inky/blue/purple-tinged 2003 Cornas has shut down since bottling, revealing tightly wound blueberry, blackberry, scorched earth, and smoky notes, stunning density, atypically crisp acidity, and a huge, full-bodied, powerful finish. This should be a fabulous Cornas, but it is not as showy and flamboyant in its youth as I expected. Give it 3-5 years of bottle age; it should keep for 15 years.
WS 93 (12/2010): This heat-marked vintage really sticks out in this flight, with juicy raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry fruit leaping to the fore. Open and lush, with hints of fig paste, graphite and dark olive adding just enough definition to the finish, where the core of raspberry ganache lingers. Probably won't go the distance of the others, but it's delicious.--Non-blind Clape Cornas vertical (2010). Drink now through 2018.
JLL ***** (3/2007): Soaked cherries, mulled fruit, black berry jam aromas with an earthy underlay; the bouquet has a very atypical chocolate presence, some very ripe elderberry, too. Blackberry flavour with edge to it that brings a touch of spirit and mineral. Open now, this has an unbounded, sweet appeal. Interesting suggestion of Cornas terroir on the later stages where there is tighter grip. The end mixes griottes, soaked cherries, with chocolate. I expect this to close and tighten up around 2008-09. Tannins in 2003 are always the brooding issue: a veal dish softens its tannins, duck heightens them. Excellent with Beaufort cheese from Savoie. Drunk at the excellent Les Barmes de l`Ours at Val d`Isère, a 1 star Michelin treat. |

|
| |
| WA 91 (8/2017): The 2015 Fleurie has a generous, open-knit bouquet with mineral-driven red cherries, fennel and blackcurrant leaf aromas. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin. It feels very fresh in the mouth with just a hint of menthol furnishing the harmonious finish. It represents one of the most delicious offerings from Alexandre Foillard at the moment. |
