Session I – Fine Wines Lots 1–361 To be sold Thursday, May 2, 2013, at 6PM


A few pristine offerings from the cellar of a Massachusetts gentleman; maintained in climate controlled storage and collected by Skinner staff. The 2000s - The timing of the “Millennium Vintage” was impeccable. To have such high quality pegged to an already illustrious year is entirely coincidental … and great fun. The 2000s are marked by ideal ripeness married with pitch perfect tannins to carry these wines onward. These enticing and riveting wines truly represent vinous excellence of the highest caliber. –PhM 1 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2000 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe “Since I gave this wine a perfect score, I suppose some could see this as a downgrade. I found everything still there for a perfect rating, but I was just struck by how tight and backward the wine was. A blend of 93.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, the wine still has a dark ruby/purple color and an extraordinarily youthful nose of graphite, black currants, sweet, unsmoked cigar tobacco, and flowers. The wine is rich, medium to full-bodied, but has that ethereal elegance and purity that is always Lafite. I originally predicted that it would first reach maturity in 2011, but I would push that back by 5-7 years now, although it has 50-60 years of life in front of it. Owners of this beauty are probably best advised to forget it for 5 years. Tasted next to a 1996 several days after the 2000 tasting, the 1996, which is a perfect wine, was far closer to full maturity than the 2000.” R. Parker, 98+ pts. 06/10 12 bottles (owc) $15,000-20,000 2 Chateau Margaux 2000 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe “Absolutely compelling in two tastings of this vintage, the 2000 Margaux is composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. The extraordinary seductiveness, complex aromatics, and purity it exhibits lead me to believe it has reached its window of full maturity. Medium-bodied, with layers of concentration, stunning blue, red, and black fruits intermixed with spring flowers, a subtle dosage of new oak, and a distinctive personality that is elegant while at the same time powerful and substantial, this is a multi-dimensional wine that was extremely approachable and drinkable in both tastings I had of it. The color remains a healthy, even opaque bluish/purple, but there is no reason to hesitate to drink it. It should evolve for another 30-40 years, so there is no hurry either.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10 12 bottles (owc, banded) $7,250-9,500

3 Chateau Pavie 2000 St. Emilion “I tasted this wine twice during the 2000 horizontals, then I actually popped the cork and drank a half-bottle of it. This wine remains, for me, one of the compelling success stories for proprietor Gerard Perse. An extraordinary effort made from a blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from the limestone soils that dominate this very distinctive terroir, the 2000 Pavie has moved out of the closed, dormant, broodingly backward stage into an adolescent period where one can see its extraordinary vibrancy, and great complexity as well as potential. It boasts an unctuous display of rich, cedar box-infused cassis fruit and liquid minerality. The tannins have sweetened, yet the wine has thirty years of longevity and potential evolution. A beautiful wine of great mass as well as elegance, it is good to see the extraordinary efforts that Gerard Perse and his team have made confirmed in this prodigious wine. A legend now…a legend for the future. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2060.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/10 12 bottles (owc) $3,250-4,750 4 2000 Bordeaux Survey Chateau Mouton Rothschild (2 bts) Chateau Haut Brion (2 bts) Chateau La Mission Haut Brion (2 bts) Chateau Ausone (2 bts) Chateau L’Evangile (2 bts) Chateau Angelus (2 bts) 12 bottles $5,250-7,500 5 Chateau d’Yquem 2000 Sauternes 12 demi bottles (owc) $900-1,500

This consignment, part of a larger collection, is a focused offering of one of California’s hottest properties. Schrader Cellars – Co-founding ColginSchrader Cellars in 1992, Fred Schrader went on to fulfill his dream of producing world-class Cabernet bearing his name on the label, cofounding Schrader Cellars in 1998. Producing world class wine is one thing, but the heights of Schrader’s success is simply dizzying: recipient of James Laube’s first 100 point score for an American wine (2007 CCS and 2007 Old Sparky), back-to-back-to-back 100 point scores from Robert Parker (2006-2008 Old Sparky and 2006-2008 CCS) and wines lauded as the finest of the year from the profoundly great 2007 vintage. On offer here are horizontal offerings of this elusive and exciting young winery. For some clarification on the wine names: RBS: Named for (Randy) Roach, (Thomas) Brown, (Fred) Schrader – the business partner, winemaker and owner, respectively, in the venture. 100% Clone 337 Cabernet from Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. CCS: Named for Carol “Colesworthy” Schrader– Fred’s wife. 100% Clone 4 Cabernet from Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard T6: Named for Clone T6 (typically just called Clone 6). 100% Clone 6 Cabernet from Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard: A blend the remaining Cabernet not used in the above specific bottlings, but all from Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. GIII: Named for the Georges III vineyard, which was the third vineyard purchased by Georges de Latour of Beaulieu fame, the juice was formerly included in his eponymous Private Reserve. Another Beckstoffer vineyard, the 300-acre vineyard was first planted to vine no later than 1895 and was acquired by Beckstoffer in 1988.

Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars – After meeting Nathan Fay in 1969 and recognizing the profundity of the cabernet from Fay’s first vineyard, Warren Winiarski went on to purchase an adjacent property in what is now known as the Stag’s Leap district and founded Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars in 1970. The first vintage was released in 1972 from grapes grown in Winiarski’s new vineyard—Stag’s Leap Vineyard—only replanted to cabernet upon his purchase two years earlier. At the time, the wine was being produced at a winery in Oakville then aged in a cellar on the new property. The next year, a winery was built on the property and that vintage is the first to be made in the new winery; three year old vines in a brand new winery. Born from these humble ingredients came the 1973 Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that just three years later would turn the wine world on its head. In the interim, legendary winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff noticed in the 1974 vintage that a particular lot within the Stag’s Leap Vineyard was particularly brilliant. This lot would be bottled separately and aged separately in the twentythird cask, giving birth to the now revered Cask 23 bottling of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. In 1976, English wine merchant Steve Spurrier sought out American wineries to be tasted blindly, side-by-side with the finest offerings of Bordeaux and Burgundian expressions of Chardonnay—the so-called Judgment of Paris. It was meant to be a celebration of America’s bicentenary, featuring a panel of French judges blindly tasting six American Cabernets and four Bordeaux (including two first growths and two second growths) in one tasting and a second tasting of six American Chardonnays with four white Burgundies. In the end, and much to everyone’s surprise, the top red and top white wines hailed from California: Chateau Montelena’s Chardonnay 1973 and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 1973. Despite the presence of just one reporter, George Taber of Time magazine, and skepticism of the local French media, the tasting and the victorious wineries are largely credited with establishing America and California in particular as a wine region worthy of the respect of oenophiles the world over.

This special lot offers a unique vertical offering of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, including the first vintage, the legendary second vintage, two bottles of the prestigious Cask 23 and a bottle of the seldom-seen 1978 Lot 2, a special cuvee of lots within the Stag’s Leap Vineyard considered by the winemaking team as “an even more perfect example of our stylistic goal for Cabernet” and served in 1983 to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by President & Mrs. Reagan during the Queen’s trip to the US. All bottles acquired directly from the vineyard by the consignor upon release. 13 Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Stag’s Leap Vineyard 1972 (1 bt) u: bottom neck, glue-stained, bin-soiled and loose label 1973 (1 bt) u: bottom neck, bin-soiled label 1974 (1 bt) u: bottom neck, bin-soiled label 1975 (1 bt) u: bottom neck, bin-soiled label 1976 (1 bt) u: top shoulder, slight signs of old seepage, bin-soiled label 1981 (2 bts) u: bottom neck, bin-soiled labels 1982 (1 bt) u: bottom neck, nicked capsule, bin-soiled label 1983 (1 bt) u: bottom neck, bin-soiled label Stag’s Leap Vineyard Lot 2 1978 (1 bt) u: bottom neck, bin-soiled label Cask 23 1977 (1 bt) u: top shoulder, signs of old seepage, very lightly corroded capsule, bin-soiled label 1984 (1 bt) u: very top shoulder, bin-soiled label Napa Beautiful concentrated color with supple sheen, heavy bricking (of course) at edges, bracken and surprising exotic spice— cinnamon, clover veering towards lavender; ink and anise with that mature stewy tomato typical of older Bordeaux but seems to shrug off with air—nice dark fruit, cherry, plum, deep blackberry, with a beautiful rich, cedar, lilac, menthol lift at end, enough acidity and lasting structure to keep you tracking it’s unbelievable evolution. –MK 01/13, a bottle of 1976 SLV from this collection. 12 bottles $1,200-1,800

Throughout the years following the Judgment of Paris, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars has continued to produce world class Cabernet from its original vineyard (now called SLV), the prestige cuvee of Cask 23 and Cabernet produced from Nathan Fay’s adjacent vineyard, which was sold to Winiarski in 1986.

The result of decades of careful collecting, this spectacular collection spans the globe and zeroes in not only on the finest wines of a region, but outstanding vintages as well. Removed from custom-built home storage of 56 degrees and 75% relative humidity, you’ll note several lots of nearly-case quantities— you really can’t blame the consignor for giving into temptation here and there. Bid with confidence. 14 Chateau Haut Brion 1989 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: 2.5cm or better, removed from owc “This continues to be one of the immortal wines and one of the greatest young Bordeaux wines of the last half-century. Consistently prodigious and almost a sure bet to top the scoring card of any blind tasting of this vintage as well as other years, the 1989 Haut-Brion is a seamless, majestic classic, and a tribute to this phenomenal terroir and its singular characteristics. The wine still has a very thick, viscous-looking ruby/purple color, a spectacular, young but awesome smorgasbord of aromas ranging from scorched earth, liquid minerals, graphite, blackberry and black currant jam to toast, licorice, and spice box. The levels of fruit, extract, and glycerin in this viscous, fullbodied, low-acid wine are awe-inspiring. The brilliant symmetry of the wine, extraordinary purity, and seamlessness are the hallmarks of a modern-day legend. It is still in its preadolescent stage of development, and I would not expect it to hit its full plateau of maturity for another 3-5 years, but this should be an Haut-Brion that rivals the greatest ever made at this estate. Life is too short not to drink this wine as many times as possible! A modern day clone of the 1959? Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/03 6 bottles $5,500-7,500 15 Chateau Margaux 1978 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe u: one very top shoulder, two top shoulder, one nicked capsule, one lightly corroded capsule, lightly bin-soiled labels 3 bottles $400-600 16 Chateau Margaux 1979 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe u: eight bottom neck or better, two top shoulder, oxidized capsules, removed from owc 10 bottles $1,500-2,000

Parker, 100 pts. 06/09 7 bottles $5,000-7,000 20 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1986 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: nine bottom neck, three very top shoulder “Deep garnet-black colour. An incredible array of aromas on the nose: blackberry, black cherry, tobacco, espresso, leather, black olive and loam. The palate is absolutely seamless from first impression to finish, effortlessly building layers of complexity in the mouth and leading to a very long, earth and spice finish. I can’t see how this could possibly be improvement so have no alternative but concede perfection. Drink now to 2045+.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 05/09 12 bottles (owc) $6,000-8,000 21 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1997 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe one nicked label 3 bottles $700-1,000 22 Chateau Cos d’Estournel 1982 St. Estephe, 2eme Cru Classe u: into neck, one torn label, removed from owc R.

A broodingly dense, thick, unctuously textured, inky/plum/garnet/ purple color offers up scents of beef blood, steak tartare, cassis, herbs, tobacco, and underbrush. One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage (as well as one of the most concentrated Bordeaux’s I have ever tasted), it is a huge, full-bodied, weighty, rich wine whose tannins are getting silkier and silkier. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life. This behemoth is a singularly profound example of Gruaud Larose that continues to justify its legendary status. Anticipated maturity: now-2050. Release price: ($140.00/ case).” R. Parker, 98 pts. 06/09 4 magnums $1,600-2,400 27 Chateau Gruaud Larose 1986 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: one into neck, ten bottom neck, one very top shoulder R. Parker, 98 pts. 06/09 12 bottles $1,200-1,800 28 Chateau Leoville Barton 1982 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: three bottom neck, three very top shoulder, lightly bin-soiled labels 6 bottles $600-900


29 Chateau Leoville Barton 1990 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: into neck 10 bottles $1,000-1,500

Leoville Las Cases (LLC) is a St. Julien in name only—not that there is anything wrong with that. This wine is generally quite wellendowed and possessing dramatic depth. LLC is quite a large property on the river side of the north-south road from the city of Bordeaux. Leoville Barton and Leoville Poyferre were cleaved off at various times in history…further validation that this is a most special site (“terroir” in French). –PhM 30 Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1975 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: two bottom neck, five very top shoulder, two top shoulder, three lightly corroded capsules, two nicked capsules, two nicked labels, removed from owc 9 bottles $600-900 31 Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1978 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: three bottom neck, five very top shoulder, four top shoulder, one lightly corroded capsule, two very slightly protruding corks, four signs of old seepage, lightly wrinkled labels, one wine stained labels, mixed importers 12 bottles $700-1,000 32 Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1982 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: bottom neck or better, nicked capsules “I have had perfect bottles of this cuvee, but, perplexingly, the bottles from my cellar tend to be broodingly backward and require plenty of coaxing. This huge wine is, in many ways, just as massive as Leoville Barton, but it possesses a greater degree of elegance as well as unreal concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors. The tannins are still there, and, at least from my cellar, this 1982 does not appear to have changed much in the last 10-12 years. One wonders how much patience admirers of this brilliant St.-Julien will continue to exhibit. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2050.” R. Parker, 95+ pts. 06/09 5 bottles $1,000-1,500

33 Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1986 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: very top shoulder “The late Michel Delon always thought that this was the greatest vintage he had produced. We often tasted it side by side with the 1982, because I always preferred the latter vintage. Of course, the two vintages are quite different in style, with the 1986 a monument to classicism, with great tannin, extraordinary delineation, and a huge, full-bodied nose of sweet, ripe cassis fruit intermixed with vanilla, melon, fruitcake, and a multitude of spices. The wine has always been phenomenally concentrated, yet wonderfully fresh and vigorous. The wine still seems young, yet it is hard to believe it is not close to full maturity. It is a great example of Leoville Las Cases, and another compelling reason to take a serious look at the top Cabernet Sauvignon-based Medocs of 1986. Anticipated maturity: 20052035.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/03 1 bottle $200-300 34 Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1989 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: bottom neck 6 bottles $600-900 35 Chateau Montrose 1990 St. Estephe, 2eme Cru Classe u: bottom neck or better “I have had the 1990 Montrose on four separate occasions over the last several months, and I have consistently rated it either 99 or 100. Three of the bottles came from my cellar, and one was tasted at the chateau. None of them revealed any brett, which is not the case with bottles that were exposed to heat, or had bad storage issues. The wine remains a blockbuster, an inky/ ruby/purple-colored effort revealing stunning concentration, amazingly high glycerin, and abundant amounts of sweet black fruits intermixed with notions of earth and spice. It is a fleshy, full-bodied St.-Estephe with atypically high amounts of fatness and fruit extract, but it is settling down nicely and seems set for another 2-3 decades of longevity. Many have felt the 1989 Montrose is better, and it is getting closer to meriting a three digit score, but it remains more tannic and backward.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/09 5 bottles $1,500-2,000 36 Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 1989 Pauillac, 2eme Cru Classe u: into neck R. Parker, 95 pts. 02/97 6 bottles $800-1,200

44 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 1982 Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe u: three bottom neck, three very top shoulder, three top shoulder, one high shoulder, removed from owc “This is a tour de force, and one of the all-time great Grand-Puy-Lacostes ever produced, as I hope the 2000 and 2005 will become. This is an inky/purple, beefy, broad, super-rich Pauillac revealing classic creme de cassis notes intermixed with hints of spring flowers and crushed rocks. Full-bodied with sweet tannin, shocking concentration, and layers of fruit, this irresistible 1982 is still an adolescent in terms of its evolution. Anticipated maturity: now-2035. Release price: ($85.00/case).” R. Parker, 96 pts. 06/09 10 bottles $1,500-2,000 45 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2000 Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe 12 bottles (owc, no lid) $900-1,400 46 Chateau Lynch Bages 1982 Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe u: three bottom neck, four very top shoulder, three top shoulder, two high shoulder, removed from owc “Beautifully mature with sweet, sun-drenched black currant, fig, roasted herb and loamy soil characteristics, the dark plum/garnet-colored 1982 possesses opulent, fleshy flavors and a full-bodied finish. All the tannins are resolved, the acidity is low and this deliciously savory, rich wine is in full bloom. Drink the complex, beautiful 1982 now and over the next decade.” R. Parker, 93 pts. 08/11 12 bottles $2,000-2,800

47 Chateau Lynch Bages 1989 Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe u: into neck, removed from owc “The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but what a great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching the 1989’s extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential. Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle smoke, oak and graphite.

While it’s clear that the new owner, Catherine Pere-Verge, has made some amazing wines since 2005 (especially the 2008), the 1982 is a wine for the ages. Still an inky/purple color, it boasts an extraordinary perfume of spring flowers intermixed with black raspberries, truffles, and kirsch. Fullbodied with velvety tannins, the wine remains extremely young, but the sweetness of the tannins and the sensational fruit concentration make for a remarkable wine that should evolve for another 30+ years.” R.

58 Chateau Climens 1986 Barsac u: bottom neck “A totally compelling Climens and to my mind, every bit as good as the 1988, the 1986 is probably the best Climens made since their spectacular 1971. It is still light gold in color, with an expansive bouquet of new oak, oranges, pineapples, and other tropical fruits. In the mouth, the great richness seems all the more impressive because of the wine’s remarkable clarity and definition. There is as much botrytis in the 1986 as in the 1988. Despite the intensity and extract levels, this sweet wine comes across as crisp and relatively light. The 1986 is a stunning example of Climens at its very best. Anticipated maturity: 1994-2010.

78 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle 1989 Northern Rhone u: 2.5cm “This fabulous, blockbuster has been totally unevolved since bottling, but at the Jaboulet tasting, it was beginning to reveal some of its formidable potential. A saturated opaque purple color is followed by aromas of cassis, minerals, and hot bricks/wood fire. Super-ripe and full-bodied, with a massive mid-section, teeth-staining extract, and mouth-searing tannin, it is a monster-sized La Chapelle. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050.” R. Parker, 96 pts. 06/00 4 bottles $600-1,000 79 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle 1990 Northern Rhone u: 2.0cm or better “The 1990 La Chapelle is the sexy and opulent. I had the 1990 at the Jaboulet tasting, and again out of a double magnum three months ago. On both occasions it was spectacular, clearly meriting a threedigit score. The modern day equivalent of the 1961, it deserves all the attention it has garnered. The color remains an opaque purple, with only a slight pink at the edge. Spectacular aromatics offer up aromas of incense, smoke, blackberry fruit, cassis, barbecue spice, coffee, and a touch of chocolate. As it sits in the glass, additional nuances of pepper and grilled steak emerge. There is extraordinary freshness for such a mammoth wine in addition to abundant tannin, an amazing 60-second finish, and a level of glycerin and thick, fleshy texture that have to be tasted to be believed. Despite its youthfulness, the 1990 La Chapelle is lovely to drink, although it will be even better with another 5-6 years of cellaring; it should age for 35-40+ years.

Chateau Montelena is one of the Napa Valley’s icon wineries. Working atop the foundation of a century old property, the father Jim and son Bo Barret might just have the best track record in California for longevity and quality. Fads don’t exist here, this team doesn’t need razzle-dazzle. Montelena wines are prized for their ability to improve with age—and not merely endure. –PhM N.B.

From the climate controlled cellar of a savvy and patient collector. Here, two lots that extend the invitation to bid on bottles not easily purchased for love or money. Screaming Eagle could only be a California story. Over the span of a decade a tiny winery progresses from inception to becoming one of the most valuable and coveted bottles in the world. Gorgeously lush and hedonistic, the miniscule production adds to the wines tantalizing allure. Screaming Eagle represents the founder’s unrelenting belief that the estate’s soils are distinct from the rest of the Napa Valley. –PhM 112 Screaming Eagle Vertical 2001-2010 Napa 10 bottles $18,000-24,000

Second Flight – The second label of Cult California producer Screaming Eagle has been produced since 2006 but was only released to its mailing list in 2012 in a special, eightbottle case containing two bottles of each of the first four vintages, 2006-2009. The tiny vineyard underwent a major replanting of thirty acres of vines in 2006, more than half of the total acreage of the entire vineyard and leaving just 15 acres of the original Screaming Eagle vines. Ultimately, this replanting will lead to a boost in production, perhaps as many as 1000 cases of the elusive nectar instead of the previous potential of just 750 cases. Rather than relying exclusively on newly planted vines for the second label, Second Flight consists of barrels selected during the blending process for the flagship wine. 113 Screaming Eagle Second Flight 2006 (2 bts) 2007 (2 bts) 2008 (2 bts) 2009 (2 bts) Napa 8 bottles $3,000-4,000

Its dark plum/purple color is followed by notes of melted tar intermixed with sweet cassis and floral underpinnings. Very full-bodied and dense for a Chateau Margaux, with a slight rusticity to the tannins, it boasts blockbuster power, richness, and impressive aromatics.

Petrus – In the renowned village of Pomerol, pack-leader Chateau Petrus is unassumingly modest. Close by the road, lacking some formal alley, it is easy to overlook when contrasted with some architecturally grander neighbors. The robin’s-egg-blue shutters against the limestone creates a hushed and dignified exterior to the chai. Of course the hedonistic treasures crafted within are anything but reserved… On average, only about 4,000 cases are made each vintage. –PhM 123 Petrus 1973 Pomerol, Cru Exceptionnel u: very top shoulder, lightly bin-soiled label 1 demi bottle $500-700 124 Chateau Figeac 1966 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (2 demis) u: one very top shoulder, one high shoulder, one with signs of old seepage (2 bts) u: bottom neck, one nicked and stained label, one lightly torn label 2 demi bottles and 2 bottles $375-600 125 Chateau La Dominique 1982 St. Emilion u: four bottom neck, two very top shoulder, one nicked label, one label loose at edge, binsoiled labels 6 bottles $350-550 126 Chateau d’Yquem 1976 Sauternes u: very top shoulder, lightly bin-soiled label R.

The bottle in January was more representative and a real surprise. It had a sedate, almost tertiary nose with cedar and peppermint. It is almost aloof when compared to the 1967. The palate was beautifully balanced with cough candy on the entry that leads to an almost Port-like finish with hints of kirsch. There is a sense of completeness to the 1965 that is irresistible. Caveat emptor, for a second bottle in June 2012 appeared far more subdued and foursquare. 91,000 bottles produced. Drink now-2020.” N. Martin for R.

The opaque, saturated, dark purple color reveals no sign of age. The huge, smoky, oaky, blackcurrant, herb, and vanillin-scented nose only hints at what will be achieved with further evolution. Sweet, decadently rich, dense, highly extracted flavors are wrapped around a full-bodied, chewy, super-concentrated, moderately tannic wine that, ideally, needs 7-8 more years of cellaring. It is a 25 to 30 year California Cabernet Sauvignon that is just beginning to become civilized. A potential legend in the making!” R.

143 Chateau Latour 1990 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: bottom neck “This is one of the more perplexing Latours to evaluate. It has plenty of sweetness as well as a gorgeous, rich fruitiness, but it lacks the firmness one finds in more recent great vintages such as 1996, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008. There is plenty of sweet, ripe currant fruitiness, abundant glycerin, and full body, but I’m still waiting for that extra nuance of complexity to emerge. It’s all there, but the wine still seems to be more monolithic than one would expect in a wine approaching 19 years of age.

The exceptionally concentrated 1990 reveals more polished, sweeter tannins along with a big, sweet kiss of black currant, forest floor, cedar, and spice box notes. While it still has some tannins to shed, this full-bodied, powerful, long wine is approachable. It should continue to evolve for another two decades.” R. Parker, 93+ pts. 06/09 2 bottles $200-300

156 Chateau Leoville Barton 1996 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe “This impressive wine is a classic. Although backward, it exhibits a dense ruby/purple color in addition to abundant black currant fruit intertwined with spicy oak and truffle-like scents. The wine is brilliantly made, fullbodied, and tightly-structured with plenty of muscle and outstanding concentration and purity. It should turn out to be a long-lived Leoville Barton, and somewhat of a sleeper. However, patience will be required. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030.” R.

A broad, classic, large-scaled effort, it boasts a deep blue/purple color as well as telltale notes of creme de cassis, subtle smoke, flowers, and unsmoked tobacco. Powerful, full-bodied flavors have shed a lot of tannin, but they remain relatively youthful. This is a young adolescent, broadly flavored Pauillac with an enticing texture as well as abundant richness and fruit. It can be enjoyed now, but promises to hit its peak in five years, and last for two decades.” R. Parker, 94 pts. 06/10 2 bottles $125-175 159 Chateau Lynch Bages 2000 Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe R.

Made from yields of 14 hectoliters per hectare, this parcel of old vines (averaging 70-80 years of age) has produced an opaque black/purple-colored wine, with a hauntingly stunning bouquet of violets, cassis, minerals, and new oak. In the mouth, the similarity in texture, richness, and perfect balance to the compelling 1986 Mouton-Rothschild is striking, only this wine is richer and longer. This extraordinarily well-balanced wine will probably not be ready to drink for at least 5-10 years, but it will evolve for three decades or more. It is an enormous yet amazingly well-delineated wine. I lament the fact that there are only 600 cases of this magnificent wine.

166 Guigal La Landonne 1998 Northern Rhone “The 1998 Cote Rotie La Landonne is a perfect wine…at least for my palate. Its saturated black/purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary nose of smoke, incense, tapenade, creosote, blackberry, and currant aromas. It is densely packed with blackberry, truffle, chocolate, and leather-like flavors. The wine possesses high tannin, but perfect harmony, impeccable balance, and gorgeous integration of acidity, alcohol, and tannin. It is a tour de force in winemaking.

Parker, 100 pts. 04/02 4 bottles $1,500-2,000 167 Guigal La Mouline 1998 Northern Rhone “The awesome 1998 Cote Rotie La Mouline is a seamless, full-bodied classic with many characteristics of the 1997 La Landonne , but more structure, tannin, and muscle. It will need two years of cellaring, and will last for twenty years. Stylistically, it is reminiscent of the 1988.” R.

It possesses extraordinary intensity, brilliant harmony, and a staggering bouquet of violets laced with other flowers (paperwhite narcissus come to mind), blackberries, cassis, vanilla, and a touch of honey. The wine is unctuously-textured yet remarkably well-defined, with elegance married to intense concentration as well as an extremely long finish, this is one of the most profound and seductive Cote Roties I have ever tasted.

176 Harlan Estate 1994 Napa “What can I say about the 1994? I have tasted the wine for three consecutive years, and each time it satisfied all of my requirements for perfection. The opaque purple color is followed by spectacular aromatics that soar from the glass, offering up celestial levels of black currants, minerals, smoked herbs, cedar wood, coffee, and pain grille. In the mouth, this seamless legend reveals full body, and exquisite layers of phenomenally pure and rich fruit, followed by a 40+ second finish. While accessible, the 1994 begs for another 5-7 years of cellaring. It should easily last for 30+ years. Every possible jagged edge acidity, alcohol, tannin, and wood - is brilliantly intertwined in what seems like a diaphanous format. What is so extraordinary about this large-scaled wine, with its dazzling display of aromatics and prodigious flavors and depth, is that it offers no hint of heaviness or coarseness. Harlan’s 1994 comes close to immortality in the glass.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 12/97 2 bottles $1,500-2,000

179 Harlan Estate 1997 Napa “The 1997 Harlan Estate is one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines I have ever tasted. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this enormously-endowed, profoundly rich wine must be tasted to be believed. Opaque purple-colored, it boasts spectacular, soaring aromatics of vanilla, minerals, coffee, blackberries, licorice, and cassis. In the mouth, layer after layer unfold powerfully yet gently. Acidity, tannin, and alcohol are wellbalanced by the wine’s unreal richness and singular personality. The finish exceeds one minute. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2030.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 12/00 4 bottles $3,000-4,000

177 Harlan Estate 1995 Napa “The 1995 Proprietary Red Wine is almost as perfect as the 1994. It has gotten even better in the bottle, and remains one of the most remarkable young Cabernet Sauvignons I have tasted. The wine, a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, was aged in 100% new oak, which adds subtle pain grille/ toasty scents. This opaque purple-colored Cabernet offers up a nose of smoke, coffee beans, black and blue fruits, minerals, and roasted herbs. It is extremely full-bodied, with spectacular purity, exquisite equilibrium, and a seamless personality with everything in total harmony. The finish lasts for more than 40 seconds. This extravagantly rich, profoundly complex 1995 will give its 1994 sibling a run for its money. Anticipated maturity: 20012027.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 12/ 98 1 bottle $400-600

181 Screaming Eagle 2009 Napa “Once again, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon pays homage to the 2007, but the aromas and flavors seems to be just a touch brighter, which might just be a function of the wine’s age. A wine of remarkable precision, the 2009 is totally dialed in from start to finish. Layers of intensely sweet, perfumed fruit are woven together with remarkable elegance and sheer polish. Today, the 2009 isn’t quite as radiant as it has been in the past, and seems headed for a stubborn phase. It is still striking, though. Even if a bit less exotic than the 2007, the two wines share a silkiness and overall sense of textural finesse. A translucent, weightless finish rounds things out in style. The 2009 is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 20192029.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 98 pts. 12/12 3 bottles (owc) $3,500-4,500

178 Harlan Estate 1996 Napa “The opaque purple-colored 1996 Harlan Estate reveals extraordinary intensity, a spicy, black currant, tobacco, cedar, and fruit cakescented bouquet, full body, a texture oozing with glycerin and concentrated fruit, and moderate tannin in the blockbuster finish. It is one of the most concentrated and complete red wines one could hope to taste. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2030.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 01/00 3 bottles $1,400-1,800

182 Screaming Eagle 2010 Napa “The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon brings together so many of the elements that make Screaming Eagle such a great and distinctive wine. Crushed rocks, graphite, menthol, plums, black cherries and mint all jump from the glass. Power, structure and finesse all come together in this remarkably vivid, dazzling wine. Rain in spring caused a poor set, which lowered yields dramatically, intensifying all of the sensations in the glass. Today, the 2010 is utterly head spinning. In 2010, Screaming Eagle is a bit lower in Cabernet Sauvignon and higher in Merlot than normal. The blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, (95-97) pts. 12/12 3 bottles (owc) $3,500-4,500 183 Screaming Eagle Second Flight 2006 (2 bts) A. Galloni for R.

187 Sloan 2001 Napa “The practically perfect 2001 Sloan (only the second effort released by Stuart Sloan) is aging magnificently. Made from very young vines planted on the steep hillsides above the Auberge du Soleil in Central Napa Valley, it exhibits a dense purple color with only a slight lightening at the edge as well as a phenomenal nose of burning embers, white chocolate, espresso roast, black currants and graphite. Full-bodied with an expansive, broad, creamy texture as well as a voluptuous finish, the wine has shed a lot of its tannin and is just beginning to hit its plateau of full maturity where it should stay for another 15-25+ years. This is a great terroir and at age ten, the 2001 confirms the accolades I bestowed upon it eight years ago.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/11 6 bottles (owc) $1,500-2,500 188 Sloan 2002 Napa “The perfect score does not surprise me since I had given this wine a three-digit rating after bottling. However, I was surprised by how evolved and complex the 2002 has become. Compared to some of the other high scoring 2002s, Sloan’s offering seems to be on a faster evolutionary track. There is nothing wrong with that, but based on this one bottle, this blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot can be drunk now or cellared for another 10-12 years. I do not think it will be one of the blockbuster, extremely long-lived wines of the vintage, but I could be wrong, because everything is in perfect balance. It offers a dense plum/garnet/purple color, a sweet nose of roasted espresso, chocolate, spring flowers, blackberries, black currants and new saddle leather, an opulent, voluptuous texture, gorgeous, layered flavors, lots of glycerin, sweet, silky tannin and a phenomenal finish. If you own any of this beauty, don’t hesitate to drink it.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 06/12 5 bottles (owc) $2,200-3,000 189 Sloan 2003 Napa R.

Fine Ales Lots 191–220


In November 2012, Skinner became the first brick-and-mortar auction house to offer beer alongside other lots of wine and spirits. The number of breweries in the United States has finally reached pre-Prohibition levels, many producing creative and elaborate styles in extremely small batches. Hand in hand with the rise in volume, there has been a marked increase in beer appreciation, and little-known European styles and breweries have gained a rabid fan base. Beer dinners are being held featuring carefully paired dishes, reserve bottles are showing up on wine lists across the country and critic scores and tasting notes are appearing alongside bottles in stores everywhere. Many collectors have taken to laying down their beers—many now bottled in 750ml format bottles—to monitor their development over time. The concept of ageing beer is still relatively nascent, but rapidly gaining traction. While there are no hard and fast rules to what beers will benefit from cellaring, bear in mind that a two-year old IPA would be akin to a ten-year-old bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau—academic, but perhaps not enjoyable. Similar to wine, the vast majority of beer—even craft beer—is meant to be drunk very soon after production. However, many high-alcohol beers, barrel aged beers and beers that undergo a secondary, in-bottle fermentation are thought to be the ideal candidates for ageing, and all of the following 30 lots fit the bill.

Lambic – a sour beer made with malted barley, wheat and aged hops, where fermentation occurs naturally through exposure to ambient yeast and bacteria and fermented in oak barrels for one to five years. Unblended lambic is rarely bottled as the nature of the fermentation process can produce uneven results and the beer is generally still. Brussels and its surrounding areas are the spiritual heart of lambic production, though pockets of North America are developing as “newworld” alternatives.

Gueuze (or Geuze) – a sour beer made by blending young and old lambics. A classic style of gueuze is a blend of one, two and three year old lambics which undergo a secondary fermentation in bottle. Different strains of Brettanomyces, scourge of many wine producers, plays a critical role in lambic and gueuze production, providing profound acidity through the long fermentation. Typically, bottles are sealed with a cork and will develop a Champagne-like carbonation over time.

Fruit Lambic – Kriek (cherry) and Framboise (raspberry) are the most traditional of the fruit lambics, where fruit is added directly to the barrels of lambic where fermentation occurs, adding layers of complexity, sweetness and color to the finished product. Other fruits used include strawberries, blueberries, peaches and even rhubarb and vitis vinifera grapes.

Stout – a dark ale brewed with barley and roasted barley with common flavors of coffee, chocolate and even dark fruit. Imperial stout is a richer, higher alcohol version of stout (stout being a richer, higher alcohol version of porter) originally brewed by Britain for export to Baltic consumers—famously Russia’s Catherine the Great, hence, Russian Imperial Stout. Similar to India Pale Ale, the beers are subject to a heavier-than-usual hop schedule, providing a much-needed preservative for the journey. Recently, American breweries have taken to ageing their imperial stouts in various spirit casks and adding spices such as vanilla bean, cacao nibs and even chili peppers to enhance the complexity of the finished product.


This consignment represents a beer-lover’s dream: exceedingly rare Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, Lost Abbey and more, all stored in ideal conditions and most purchased by the consignor upon release. Property of a Massachusetts gentleman, the scope of this consignment is exceeded only by the collector’s passion… and the rest of his cellar! Bid with confidence. Cantillon – This stalwart of lambic producers has resided since its founding in 1900 at 56 Rue Gheude and continues using many of the same instruments of its founder, Paul Cantillon. Widely regarded as a traditional lambic producer adhering to centuries-old methods, it is important not to overlook the creative spirit of the brewery and its current brewmaster, Jean-Pierre Van Roy. From 246A producing beer in a lambic style without wheat and using fresh hops instead of aged hops, to fruit lambics using apricots, blueberries or even elderflowers, Cantillon manages to push the envelope of lambic production while respecting the tradition of this unique style of Brussels. Outside of their permanent portfolio of lambics and gueze, Cantillon is known to produce several unique blends utilizing special fruit and barrels which are offered through exclusive arrangements in absurdly small quantities, some of which are available here. 191 Cantillon Gueuze Brussels lightly nicked label, bottled 1996 1 bottle $150-250 192 Cantillon Vigneronne Brussels lambic blended with Italian Muscat grapes, bottled 1999 1 demi bottle $100-150 193 Cantillon Lou Pepe Gueuze 2001 Brussels label loose at corner, bottled 2003 1 bottle $150-250

Drie Fonteinen – Founded in the late 19th century, Drie Fonteinen (Three Fountains) is among the most respected blenders and brewers of lambic in Belgium. Similar to the best Scotch blenders, the master blender Armand Debelder will use barrels of lambic from other breweries as well as their own to produce their world-class gueze. Starting in 1998, Drie Fonteinen began brewing their own lambic through an expansion. When a thermostat malfunction led to the loss of some 3000 bottles of conditioning gueuze as well as spoiling an entire vintage’s barrels of fermenting lambic, the future of the brewery operations and the business as a whole was in doubt. Through a series of brilliant marketing moves including a spirit distilled from the lost barrels and a series of gueuze blends of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year lambics, the brewery was saved and is reaching new heights of popularity among lambic enthusiasts. 201 Drie Fonteinen Malvasia Rosso 2003 Beersel lightly nicked label, fermented with Malvasia Rosso grape juice, bottled October 2, 2003 1 bottle $200-300

Lost Abbey – Co-founded in 2006 by Tomme Arthur and friends, Lost Abbey has become widely recognized as one of the top American breweries in its crusade of good versus evil (beer). Recipient of over a dozen medals from the Great American Beer Festival, Arthur is among the most decorated brewers in America, and a firm believer in the idea of ageing beer. Isabelle Proximus (lot 208) is a result of an educational trip to Belgium where Arthur was joined by other prominent American brewers to learn first hand about the lambic process. With successes like Isabelle Proximus, Duck Duck Gooze (lot 210) and Cable Car (lot 209), there is little doubt that Arthur is on the short list of top American brewers of spontaneously fermented ales. 208 Port Brewing Company Isabelle Proximus San Marcos, California bottled 2008 “In March of 2006 five guys - Adam Avery, Vinnie Cilurzo, Robb Todd, Tomme Arthur accompanied Sam Calagione and Lorenzo Dabove The Prince of Pajottenland through a tour of Belgium’s finest Gueze producers. Many of the mysteries of Lambic production were learned along the way. They vowed to return to the states to brew a sour beer celebrating their experiences. In November of 2006 they reunited at Port Brewing to brew Isabelle Proximus. In this bottle, you’ll find the answers to many of the questions that were posed along their journey near the river Senne. However, like the mysteries of lambic beers, there remains on lingering question that was left unresolved. We hope like us, the next time you’re on a pilgrimage to Brussels, you’ll drop by the Empire Club and let us know whether you prefer Green or Orange…” 1 bottle $250-400

Three Floyds – begun in 1996 by a fatherson-son team, Three Floyds has continually grown from a 5-barrel system (brewing just 298-300 115 gallons at a time) to a 15-barrel and eventually a 35-barrel system yet does not see distribution outside of the Midwest. With brash, uniquely American style and bold flavors, Three Floyds produces a number of highly sought-after beers among enthusiasts, but perhaps none more so than their Dark Lord Russian-style Imperial Stout. Released only at the brewery at a ticketed event, Dark Lord is a massive, rich, complex stout that begs for age yet is nearly irresistible immediately. In recent years, Three Floyds has produced a handful of barrel treatments in extremely limited quantities, offered in a scratch-off lottery drawing for those lucky enough to attend the release. 217 Three Floyds Dark Lord Cognac Barrel 2012 Munster, Indiana Bottle 152 of 534 1 bottle $250-400 218 Three Floyds Dark Lord 2009 (1 22 oz. bt) white wax 2010 (1 22 oz. bt) nicked label, green wax 2011 (1 22 oz. bt) yellow wax 2012 (1 22 oz. bt) red wax Munster, Indiana 4 bottles $300-500

A Drie Fonteinen rarity paired with a complete vertical of the Bruery’s Black Tuesday, this consignment just scratches the surface of this collector’s cellar. Removed from temperaturecontrolled storage for this auction. 219 Drie Fonteinen Oude Gueuze Cuvee J&J Blauw 2003 Beersel, Belgium slight signs of old seepage 1 bottle $250-400

The Bruery – founded in 2008 by Patrick Rue, the Bruery focuses on Belgian-inspired ales, eschewing force-carbonation in favor of bottle-conditioning with all beers released in a 750ml format. Near constant experimentation has led to a diverse portfolio ranging from pale ale to American wild ales to stout. An Anniversary Ale released annually even utilizes the solera technique, blending fresh, strong ale with aged ales that have been resting in bourbon barrels for up to five years. A Russian Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels, Black Tuesday is released annually on the last Tuesday of October—the anniversary of the stock market crash of 1929—and is likely their most famous beer. Tipping the scales at 18% abv or higher, the stout is full of deep coffee, chocolate, and bourbon notes, pure black with a tan head. The bourbon heat mellows with age and integrates seamlessly into the beer which, closed with a crown cap and sealed with black wax is expected to age gracefully for ten or more years in bottle. 220 The Bruery Black Tuesday Vertical 2009 2010 2011 2012 Placentia, California 4 bottles $400-600

226 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rose 2002 Champagne “Taittinger’s 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is off the charts. I have tasted the 2002 now many times, and it has never been less than thrilling. A vivid kaleidoscope of pure Chardonnay aromas and flavors opens up in the glass. The 2002 is at once incredibly rich yet also totally weightless and impeccable in its balance. All the classic Comtes notes are there, but with a level of detail and nuance I don’t think I have ever seen before. The 2002 is breathtakingly beautiful today, but also appears to have the stuffing to age for decades. Personally, I would be looking to buy the 2002 in magnums if at all possible. Sadly, there is little wine to go around as 2002 was a very short crop. Readers who can track down the 2002 are in store for something truly great. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2042.” A. Galloni for R.

An inky/blue/ purple color is accompanied by a compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, pain grille, incense, and flowers. With extraordinary richness, full body, and remarkable freshness, elegance, and persistence, this is one of the finest wines ever made by this estate. The good news is that it will be drinkable at a young age yet evolve for three decades or more. Kudos to winemaker Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier.” R.

It boasts a dense black/purple color in addition to an extraordinary bouquet of scorched earth, blackberries, and cassis, fabulous purity, a skyscraper-like texture, and substantial tannin in the finish. This superb, huge, ripe wine is one of the vintage’s most prodigious offerings. However, patience will be essential for anyone purchasing this 2003. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2035.” R.

A wine of great intensity, bluish/black, with a big, sweet kiss of graphite, crushed rocks, blueberry, spring floral garden and blackberry liqueur, unctuously textured as well as pure, dense, and stunningly rich, this full-bodied wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 25-30 years.” R.

235 Chateau Bellevue Mondotte 2003 St. Emilion “An exquisite jewel in Chantal and Gerard Perse’s Right Bank empire, Bellevue-Mondotte is a tiny, 5-acre parcel of 45-year-old vines planted on the limestone plateau above PavieDecesse and Pavie-Macquin. It is composed of 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. I tasted the 2003 on three separate occasions, one of which merited a three-digit rating. Sadly, there are only 4,000 bottles of this prodigious effort. Possessing relatively high alcohol (14.5%) for a Bordeaux, it is an amazing blend made from 15 hectoliters per hectare. A dense, viscous-looking purple color is accompanied by a sweet perfume of blackberries, espresso roast, fried lard, and pain grille. Full-bodied and massively rich with decent acidity and plenty of structure as well as tannin, this youthful 2003 should hit its stride in 3-5 years, and last for three decades. This may be what the great 1929s or 1947s tasted like at age three.” R. Parker, 98 pts. 04/06 12 bottles $1,000-1,500 236 Chateau l’Evangile 2000 Pomerol R.

Notes of camphor, creme de cassis, violets, black currants, cedar, and licorice jump from the glass of this inky/purple-hued offering. Monumental richness, sensational sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mid-palate, and a 45+-second finish result in an extraordinary wine that is just reaching its plateau of full maturity. It should last for another 20-25 years.” R. Parker, 96 pts. 06/10 6 bottles $700-1,000


239 Chateau Troplong Mondot 2000 St. Emilion “Extremely young with an unbelievable deep purple color, the 2000 Troplong Mondot has hardly budged since I tasted it in 2003. Two recent tastings confirmed that this is the greatest Troplong Mondot between their profound 1990 and more recent vintages such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Copious chocolate, graphite, blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and ink characteristics are present in this full-bodied, powerful, massive St.-Emilion. While the tannins are noticeable, they are better integrated than they were seven years ago, and the fruit, extract, and richness clearly outweigh the wine’s structure. This 2000 will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring (longer than I originally predicted), and has at least two decades of drinkability ahead of it.” R.

Parker, 100 pts. 04/05 3 demi bottles $600-900 241 Rieussec 2001 Fargues “A monumental effort, the 2001 Rieussec boasts a light to medium gold color in addition to a fabulous perfume of honeysuckle, smoky oak, caramelized tropical fruits, creme brûlée, and Grand Marnier. The wine is massive and full-bodied yet neither over the top nor heavy because of good acidity. With intense botrytis as well as a 70-75-second finish, this amazing Sauternes will be its apogee between 20102035.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/04 3 bottles $300-450 242 Chateau Rieussec 2001 Fargues R.

This is so well balanced and carries its firm structure so effortlessly that it will easily age for 20 to 30 years but should be ready in 12 to 15. In a word, terrific.” Burghound, (92-94) pts. 01/07 6 bottles $350-500 247 Chevillon Nuits St. Georges les Pruliers 2005 Nuits St. Georges “This is very ripe, indeed the ripest wine to this point with a gorgeous and spicy mélange of black and blue berry fruit aromas liberally laced with earth and underbrush that introduces rich, full-bodied and intense flavors of obvious sweetness and a powerful, textured and mouth coating finish. There are buckets of dry extract here that convey a seductive velvety quality to the backend. Impressive.” Burghound, (91-93) pts. 01/07 6 bottles $350-500 248 Bruno Clair Chambertin Clos de Beze 2005 Cote de Nuits “The most complete wine here with a spicy, earthy, gamy and strikingly elegant if presently reserved nose of musky black cherry fruit aromas that introduce rich, sweet and mouth coating flavors that explode on the strikingly long finish. This is a classy thoroughbred of a wine with superb complexity, impeccable balance and huge length, all delivered with both grace and power. Be prepared to be patient however as this will need time.” Burghound, (92-95) pts. 01/07 3 bottles $600-900

249 Madame de Courcel Pommard Grand Clos des Epenots 2005 Cote de Beaune “An explosive red pinot fruit nose is nuanced by hints of earth, underbrush and an interesting touch of peach stone introduces still bigger, richer and more structured flavors that possess serious size and weight, culminating in a velvety and mouth coating finish that seems to go on and on. This is an extremely impressive wine constructed in an old school style but there’s nothing rustic or inelegant about it though note that it’s built for the long-term.” Burghound, 93 pts. 04/08 12 bottles (oc) $800-1,200 250 Dauvissat Camus Chablis Grand Cru Le Clos 2006 Chablis “A reticent if wonderfully broad, airy and pure nose of primarily subtly spiced dried peach and white flowers nuanced by oyster shell and that seashore character that classic Chablis has, introduces rich, powerful and palate staining flavors that possess superb vibrancy on the linear, focused and pure finish. Somewhat surprisingly, this is perhaps not quite as stylish as the Preuses but it’s every bit as powerful and long. And like the Preuses, this did indeed surprise to the upside.” Burghound, 93 pts. 10/08 8 bottles $600-800 251 Dauvissat Camus Chablis Grand Cru Le Clos 2007 Chablis “This too offers dazzling aromatic purity but is even less expressive at the moment than the Preuses as the classic young Les Clos austerity is present in spades with tight, layered and elegant green fruit, oyster shell, iodine and white flower aromas that are cool and very primary, indeed even backward. The flavors are also quite understated and seem to be extracted directly from liquid rock as the minerality this displays is remarkable and there is a very different tactile sense in the mouth with simply tremendous buffering extract and staggering length on the ultra precise, bone dry and explosive finish. Wow, this is flat out stunning Les Clos that is constructed entirely on its minerality. One of the wines of the vintage.” Burghound, 95 pts. 10/09 6 bottles $750-1,000

252 Dauvissat Camus Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2006 Chablis “A now almost invisible touch of wood frames gorgeously pure aromas of white peach, pear, seaweed and a touch of honeysuckle that blends into the rich, full and powerful flavors that seem naturally elegant and refined while maintaining superb focus on the almost painfully intense finish that seems to have no end. A wine of finesse and elegance that makes it an understated vintage for the Dauvissat Preuses.” Burghound, 93 pts. 10/08 9 bottles $600-900 253 Vincent Dauvissat Chablis la Forest 2007 Chablis Burghound, 92 pts. 03/12 352 12 bottles (oc) $800-1,200 254 Dauvissat Camus Chablis 1er Cru La Forest 2008 Chablis “In contrast to the prior’s wine inexpressiveness, here the nose explodes from the glass, combining notes of lemon peel, Chablis-style green fruit and oyster shell nuances that can also be found on the rich, energetic and highly intense flavors that are powerful and almost painfully intense on the extremely dry finish. I really like the balance and overall sense of underlying tension. This should be great in time.” Burghound, 93 pts. 10/10 10 bottles $250-425 255 Girardin Batard Montrachet 2002 Cote de Beaune P.

This is expressive yet cool and one is struck more by the sheer transparency than the depth though there is no lack of that either. A classic and achingly beautiful Volnay.” Burghound, 92 pts. 04/08 3 bottles $200-300 261 J.F. Mugnier Bonnes Mares 2005 Cote de Nuits “The concentration and intensity has slowly but noticeably been increasing over the last few vintages as the vines begin to achieve a higher average age and it’s particularly evident in 2005. Here the nose is unusually expressive rather than its usual brooding character with pretty, even elegant aromas of spicy red pinot and purple fruit and warm earth notes that can also be found on the powerful but detailed, indeed almost nervous flavors that possess excellent precision and a very attractive underlying tension on the explosive finish that delivers flat out incredible length. 2005 is the best vintage for this wine that I’ve seen since Mugnier took over.” Burghound, 96 pts. 01/08 1 bottle $600-900

Tactile cinnamon spiciness, bitter-sweet herbs, and black cherry and black raspberry concentrate (fresh, yet with liqueurlike intensity, sweetness and viscosity) saturate the palate, and a dark and rising tide of mineral and carnal flavors meets the fruit and spice in a thunderous finish. There is mystery aplenty here, with the sex appeal well beneath the surface.” D. Schildknecht for R. Parker, (97-98) pts. 04/07 3 bottles $900-1,200

267 Comte de Vogue Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2005 Cote de Nuits “Prepare to be transported. A positively brilliant nose of violet and rose petal shines against a background of intensely spiced extravagant red and black pinot fruit nuanced by hints of earth and stone and this minerality continues onto the surprisingly supple flavors that convey a remarkable sense of energy and power on the almost unbelievably intense, focused and structured finish that seems to go on and on without end. And the ‘05 VV has what all truly great burgundies have which is that extra dimension of power without weight as this carries terrific punch and power yet delivers that explosiveness with impeccable class and grace. While I am duly mindful of the many legendary wines this domaine has produced (see the database for all vintages reviewed dating to 1919), the 2005 could very well join the list of the all time greats, there is really that much potential here. Whether it will ultimately transcend the heights achieved by the 1919 or the 1949 (among many others) remains an open question, I have zero doubt that 2005 will be a genuinely great vintage for this wine. Brilliance personified and absolutely a ‘wow’ wine, in fact, this merits a double ‘wow’.” Burghound, 99 pts. 01/08 1 bottle $800-1,200 268 Comte de Vogue Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2002 Cote de Nuits P.

I love the way Musigny can so effortlessly combine a silky palate impression with serious muscle. This should be quite impressive in time though note that it will need a minimum of 18 to 25 years of cellar time.” Burghound, 96 pts. 01/11 6 bottles $1,800-2,400

The medium full flavors are ripe, sexy and supple yet deliver excellent precision, impeccable balance and an attractive mineral streak than gives both lift and firmness to the wonderfully long finish. This is a lively effort that is underpinned by dense and firm yet remarkably fine tannins. I quite like this as the grace and class of its origins are plain to see.

Aged in 100% new oak for 18 months, it is a blend of 95% Marsanne and 5% Roussanne. This fabulous white Hermitage ranks alongside Chapoutier’s limited cuvees of Le Meal, l’Ermite, and l’Oree. Guigal’s 2001 Hermitage Ex-Voto offers up stupendous aromas of white peaches, truffles, quince, and a liqueur of stones. This amazing white should drink well young, yet last 2-3 decades.” R.

It somehow manages to offer the vintage’s character in power, high glycerin, and huge volume, but retains remarkable elegance and finesse that is so much in keeping with the style of Clos des Papes. The wine has a dense ruby/purple-tinged color and a wonderfully sweet nose of framboise, blackberry, and kirsch liqueur intermixed with Chinese black tea and licorice. The wine is full-bodied and voluptuous, but once past all the glycerin and beautiful, dense fruit of this full-bodied wine, there is striking purity, elegance, finesse, and surprising freshness. Still primary, it looks set to have a long life of 20-25 or more years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025.” R.

Inky plum/ruby/ purple to the rim, with a big, sweet nose of melted licorice, smoked meats, blackberries, cassis, and earth, the wine is deep, powerful, full-bodied, with fabulous concentration, purity, and a multi-dimensional mouthfeel. The finish goes on for close to a minute. Forget this wine for 2-5 years and drink it over the following 25+ years.” R.

Full-bodied with great intensity, superb richness, and tremendous floral, truffle, meaty, raspberry, and blackberryscented aromas, this wine, which comes from three well-known parcels in Chateauneuf du Pape (La Crau, Gallimards, and Esquirons) exhibits high tannin and good acidity, but the massive fruit and richness from these old vines dominate the wine’s personality.

286 Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf de Pape Reserve 2000 Southern Rhone “The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve (15.5% alcohol; 100% Grenache) is a wine of magnificent intensity as well as majestic texture and richness. Layers of concentrated fruit cascade over the palate. Opaque purple-colored and extremely full-bodied, with a gorgeous nose of minerals, white flowers, black fruits, pepper, and garrigue, this sumptuous, seamless 2000 Chateauneuf must be tasted to be believed. I have had this wine a half dozen times in blind tastings that included some of the finest 2000 Chateauneuf du Papes, and it consistently ranks as one of the top 2 or 3 wines in the tastings. Then again, I’m looking at its overall potential as it is not the most forward or evolved of the 2000 Chateauneuf du Papes. It is a magnificent tour de force in winemaking. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025.” R. Parker, 99 pts. 02/03 3 bottles $400-600

292 Gaja Sori San Lorenzo 2004 Piedmont “The 2004 Sori San Lorenzo is a dropdead gorgeous wine. It presents awesome balance, especially in the way it marries power with elegance. This is a remarkably refined and understated Sori San Lorenzo, with never-ending layers of dark raspberries, licorice, grilled herbs and tar that flow from its sumptuous frame. A dark, brooding beauty, it will require several additional years of bottle at a minimum, but those with the patience to wait will be amply rewarded. In most vintages I prefer the Sori Tildin, but in 2004 Sori San Lorenzo has a very slight edge over its sibling. It may very well be the finest Sori San Lorenzo since the legendary 1971. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 98 pts. 10/07 6 bottles (owc) $1,200-1,800 293 Gaja Sperss 2003 Piedmont 6 bottles (owc) $700-1,000 294 Gaja Sperss 2004 Piedmont A.

295 Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 2004 Piedmont “Mascarello’s 2004 Barolo Monprivato is an explosive wine with an almost Pinot-like expression of purity in its fruit. This round, sweet Barolo is extremely primary at this stage, with tons of dense fruit that almost cover the wine’s tannins completely. Subtle overtones of roses and tar develop in the glass, rounding out this majestic wine. Monprivato is one of the world’s very finest values in collectible, age-worthy wine, and the 2004 is another classic in the making. I was blown away by this wine’s sheer balance and harmony, both of which are remarkable considering the wine’s age. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2034.” A. Galloni for R.

This leads to a powerful, intense, harmonious wine with layers of savory fruit and the structure to evolve for another 6-8 years. It offers a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2030.” J.

Deep purple, the aromas are other-worldly with truffle, tar, graphite, kirsch, and wild blueberry among the array of scents leaping from the glass. Flamboyant and opulent, the wine has remarkable richness and depth of flavor leading to a 60-second finish. Drink this hedonistic effort over the next 10-12 years.” J. Miller for R.

There is beautiful integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, a smooth texture, layers of flavor, and exceptional length. There is enough structure to support 6-8 years of cellaring and it will provide pleasure through 2030.” J. Miller for R. Parker, 97 pts. 02/08 3 bottles $200-300

304 Numanthia Termanthia 2004 Castilla Leon “Believe it or not, the 2004 Termanthia is even better than the Numanthia. From an 11 acre plot, 2600 feet above sea level, planted with 100+-year-old ungrafted vines, the yields were well under 1 ton of fruit per acre. The wine was barrel fermented and received the “200% new oak” treatment over 20 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Opaque purple-colored, the wine has an awesome nose which is already multi-faceted. There are elements of pain grille, lead pencil, mineral, violets, blueberry and blackberry with just a bit more subtlety and nuance than its two colleagues. On the palate the wine is an infant developmentally with densely packed ripe fruit, sensational balance, and a seamlessness that must be tasted to be believed. It should age like a great vintage of Lafite or Latour and have at least a 50 year life span. If you have a soul, sell it to the devil for a few bottles of this extraordinary liquid. There are only 1500 bottles for the American market.” J. Miller for R. Parker, 100 pts. 0207 4 bottles $800-1,200 305 Kaesler Shiraz Old Bastard 2002 (1 bt) R.

Manfred Krankl is crafting wines of uncommon concentration and richness, these are among the most collectable of all Californian wines produced. –CM 307 Sine Qua Non (Turn the Whole Thing) Upside Down Grenache 2009 California “The 2009 Grenache Upside Down emerges from the glass with layers of dark red fruit as it sweeps across the palate. There is an inner sweetness and sheer depth that make the 2009 compelling. The 11% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre make themselves heard clearly in adding layers of depth and pure richness. Tar, anise and graphite meld together on the rich, dramatic finish. This is a striking wine endowed with tons of pure textural dimension. The 2009 was sourced from Eleven Confessions (72%), Cumulus (22%) and Bien Nacido (6%) vineyards. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2021.” A. Galloni for R. Parker, 96+ pts. 08/12 3 bottles $500-700

308 Sine Qua Non The Thrill of Stamp Collecting Syrah 2009 California “The 2009 Syrah The Thrill Of impresses for its poise and underlying energy. Dark fruit, spices, licorice and violets sit on a core of firm tannin as this powerful wine opens up in the glass. Today, The Thrill Of comes across as very, very young. The intensity of the fruit and the oak are dominant at present. In another few years the wine should be spectacular. The Thrill Of… is 90% Syrah, 6% Grenache and 4% Viognier, all destemmed and mostly from estate owned vineyards. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.” A. Galloni for R.

309 Penfolds Grange 1998 South Australia “Very deep garnet in color, the 1998 Penfolds Grange has shut itself away into a closed stage at this time, offering a subdued core of blackberry preserves and blackcurrant cordial with nuances of smoked bacon, black olives, sandalwood and sweaty leather. The full bodied, taut, muscular palate is firmly structured with chewy tannins and enlivening acidity, finishing long and savory. Consider drinking it 2016 to 2030+.” L. Perrotti-Brown for R.

Opaque purple/black, it is more expressive aromatically as well as more structured than the Nicasia cuvee. Opulent on the palate, it is dense and extracted with gobs of spicy black fruits and enough structure to unwind for another 6-8 years. Drink this lengthy effort from 2015 to 2030.” J. Miller for R.

It is also far less expensive than either the Clos du Mesnil or Clos d’Ambonnay but equally as delicious. This bottle is stratospheric, with layers of explosive fruit that flow effortlessly to the multidimensional, captivating finish. It is another eternal Champagne from Krug.” A. Galloni for R.

321 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1994 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe 4 bottles $2,000-3,000 322 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1996 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe “Tasted three times since bottling, the 1996 Lafite-Rothschild is unquestionably this renowned estate’s greatest wine. As I indicated last year, only 38% of the crop was deemed grand enough to be put into the final blend, which is atypically high in Cabernet Sauvignon (83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot). This massive wine may be the biggest, largest-scaled Lafite I have ever tasted. It will require many years to come around, so I suspect all of us past the age of fifty might want to give serious consideration as to whether we should be laying away multiple cases of this wine. It is also the first Lafite-Rothschild to be put into a new engraved bottle (designed to prevent fraudulent imitations). The wine exhibits a thick-looking, ruby/purple color, and a knockout nose of lead pencil, minerals, flowers, and black currant scents. Extremely powerful and full-bodied, with remarkable complexity for such a young wine, this huge Lafite is oozing with extract and richness, yet has managed to preserve its quintessentially elegant personality. This wine is even richer than it was prior to bottling. It should unquestionably last for 40-50 years. Anticipated maturity: 20122050. The wine of the vintage?” R. Parker, 100 pts. 04/99 2 bottles $1,800-2,400 323 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1999 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe “The 1999 Lafite Rothschild sports an engraved “1999” on the bottle along with an eclipse to mark that significant historical event of August, 1999. It is a quintessential offering from Lafite Rothschild. This prodigious wine is both elegant and intensely flavored, and almost diaphanous in its layers that unfold with no heaviness. An opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil, graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is medium-bodied, with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony. This extraordinary Lafite increasingly appears to be a modern day clone of the majestic 1953. A mere onethird of the crop made it into the grand vin! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030.” R.

Broad, savory, and rich, the wine seems to be about 5 years away from full maturity and should drink well for at least 40-50 more years.

Now in the bottle, this opaque black/purple-colored offering has increased in stature, richness, and size. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc (57% of the production was utilized), it is an extremely powerful, super-concentrated wine offering notes of roasted espresso, creme de cassis, smoke, new saddle leather, graphite, and licorice. It is massive, with awesome concentration, mouth-searing tannin levels, and a saturated flavor profile that grips the mouth with considerable intensity. This is a 50-year Mouton, but patience will be required as it will not be close to drinkability for at least a decade. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050.” R. Parker, 96 pts. 04/01 3 bottles $750-1,100

335 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2002 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe “Dense purple to the rim, this wine exhibits the classic cassis aroma that is so characteristic of Mouton. Medium to full-bodied, tannic, powerful, and cut somewhat from the 1988 mold, this is a backward, chewy, well-endowed Mouton-Rothschild that will require considerable patience from those who purchase it. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the wine needs a good decade of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+.” R.

This is a big Montrachet and sidles right up to the edge of losing focus yet it never falls over into excess or blowsiness.

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery Widely regarded as one of the finest American whiskeys, the bourbons of the Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery are exceedingly rare and highly coveted among aficionados where the bourbon is known simply as “Pappy.” Despite the official name, there is no Rip Van Winkle Distillery; the bourbon is currently distilled and bottled at the Buffalo Trace Distillery according to a family recipe using corn, wheat, and barley. The magic is in the wheat, which imparts a touch of additional sweetness and a smooth finish not often associated with straight bourbon. On offer here is a complete lineup of the current variations: 10-, 12-, 15-, 20-, and 23-year versions of the bourbon as well as the 13-year Rye whiskey, far more time in oak than the U.S. requirement of two years, or the industry standard of four years. 892 Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade Bourbon 10 Year Kentucky 53.5% 1 bottle $100-150

Ullage (Level of Wine) Illustration and Interpretations For Bordeaux, Port, and other shouldered bottles n. bn. vts. ts. hs. ms. lms. s.

ullage is into neck bottom neck very top shoulder top shoulder; usual level for Bordeaux older than 15 yrs high shoulder; usual cork reduction, often found in Bordeaux over 20 yrs, low risk mid shoulder; variation likely as indicates cork deterioration low mid shoulder; some risks, reflected in estimates shoulder; risky, reflected in estimates into neck bottom neck very top shoulder top shoulder high shoulder mid shoulder low mid shoulder shoulder

Ullage of wines of vintages fifteen years and younger may be assumed to be of bottom neck or better unless otherwise noted. Similarly, regarding older vintages, lack of notation indicates acceptable and appropriate ullage, clear label and sound cork; potential bidders must be prepared for reasonable variations in ullage in all vintages older than 20 years. Bidders with specific condition questions should contact the Fine Wines department. Conditions generally not noted on group lots. Bordeaux wines are catalogued referencing the 1855 classification. Chateau Petrus cataloguing reflects the practice of granting it 1er Cru Classe and other notable Pomerol Chateaux are designated Cru Classe. All Bordeaux wines may assume to be chateau bottled unless otherwise stated. It is standard practice for Skinner/Lower Falls Wine to open all original wooden cases (owc) for visual inspection. The opening of banded cases will be determined on an individual basis. For Burgundy, German wines and all other more gradually slope-shouldered bottles, the ullage measurement is taken in centimeters from cork base, e.g. 3cm, 5cm, 7cm. Bottle Sizes bottle (750 ml) magnum (2xbt) marie jeanne (3xbt) double magnum (4xbt)

jeroboam (4xbt); Burgundy, Champagne jeroboam (6xbt); Bordeaux imperiale (8xbt); Bordeaux methuselah (8xbt); Burgundy

demi bottle (demi) split (1/4 bottle) Champagne

Buyers’ Caution: Levels are as when catalogued; ullage may change due to cork deterioration; other bottle conditions may occur during storage and shipment. Risk of ullage variation and cork deterioration and/or failure is assumed by the buyer at time of sale and no sale cancellations, price negotiations, or bottle substitutions will be undertaken by either Skinner or Lower Falls Wine. Similarly, no substitutions will be made due to inaccurate descriptions. Flights of Lots: Are of the same type, vintage and bottle count and follow one after another numerically, though ullage and bottle conditions may vary. The auctioneer may exercise discretion to offer, in consecutive lot order and at that same price, the following lots in the flight to the first successful bidder of that flight. Subsequently, those lots not purchased will be offered anew and so on. Absentee bids placed on any lot in a flight will be applied to the next lot in the flight (if unsuccessful), until the flight concludes. Environmental Note: It has only been in the last 15-20 years that the wine industry has moved away from using lead capsules to cover the cork and neck of a bottle. When opening an older wine, if you do have a lead capsule, give consideration as to how you dispose of it.
