Dom Perignon Rose Champagne 1996 France 750ml
1996 is revealing a bold, pink salmon color followed by broad berry notes intermixed with a smoky/earthy character. Rich, full-bodied... it should last for a decade.

Domaine de Baumard Quarts de Chaume 2005 - France Loir Valley
Rated 98 A jaw dropper, with orange blossom, persimmon, fig and quince flavors that remain remarkably bright and light, thanks to the riveting acidity and a superfine, minerally finish.

Domaine de Baumard Quarts de chaume 2003 - France Loire Valley
Rated 96 - This has a very powerful, concentrated core of almond, white peach, honeysuckle, mineral and candied lemon peel, but all is meshed perfectly together on a creamy, porcelain texture and glides effortlessly through the finish.

Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet 2004 - Puligny-Montrachet France
The vineyard of Champ Gain is situated right beside the marvellous appellation of Meursault-Blagny. The wine has a refined, racy bouquet with suave exotic fruits and a balancing acidity. Given a brief airing the wine will show a buttery richness and appley warmth. The sumptuous finish is a delight. Winemaker ...
Martine Barraud Saint-Veran Les Pommards 2005 - France Burgundy Dry
Rated 91 This is ripe too with citrus and acacia aromas that are somewhat fresher and brighter than those of the two prior wines and this vibrancy continues onto the rich, punchy and intense flavors that offer buckets of finishing minerality and ample length. Terrific quality here for St. Vran ...
