Oremus, the Hungarian estate of the legendary Vega Sicilia—widely regarded as Spain’s greatest winery—produces Tokaji wines that are pure luxury epitomized—and 2008 was among the best vintages in the region’s long, regal history. One of the world’s finest and rarest sweet wines, boasting a legacy that dates back to 1630, Oremus’ 2008 Aszú 6 Puttonyos…
Magnificent Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Sam Baxter has been a great friend, and we owe it all to a dinner in NYC: on our plate was a 28-day dry-aged ribeye courtesy of Jean-Georges, and in our glass was a Terra Valentine estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. This “marriage” eventually brought us to winemaker Sam Baxter’s doorstep in Napa….
Wine Advocate has reported on nearly 60 vintages of Château d’Yquem, dating back to the 1811 bottling (yes, two centuries ago, not a typo). An astonishing number of these wines have earned 96 points or higher—but surprisingly, only six hold perfect 100-point scores from the publication. The 2009 is one of them. In fact, Advocate…
Last week, Wine Access was offered 114 bottles of Lafite-Rothschild’s 2009 Château Duhart-Milon, a Robert Parker 97-pointer that The Wine Advocate called “the single smartest purchase in this great and historic vintage.” We took them all. Of course. Perfectly cellared, and direct from the cool Lafite-Rothschild headquarters, where they’ve rested for a decade. We’ll never…
Yquem’s First Growth Next Door Neighbor Not long ago, a half-bottle of this 2009 Chateau Guiraud paired with a generous hunk of Livarot stopped all activity at Wine Access. Tasted with Guiraud brand ambassador, Jade Moreau, the classic golden elixir wafted aromas of honeysuckle and jasmine, flaunted a rich yet vibrant palate of apricot, white…
Measured in news headlines, 2009 feels like a lifetime ago—maybe two. But uncork the 2009 Château Haut de la Becade and the year that critics hailed as arguably the greatest ever in Bordeaux comes rushing back with an immediacy and majesty that is frankly astonishing. If you don’t know Haut de la Becade, that’s because…
What do we have in common with the President and Prime Minister of France? We’re all fans of Château La Croix’s Pomerol. We have it on good authority that this very vintage has been served not only to the President and Prime Minister of France, but also to the French Senate. There’s no wonder why:…
The Sweet Spot Between Margaux and Gruaud Larose The 2009 Château Malescasse is one of the best Left Bank values we’ve ever offered. This is a Haut-Médoc that sits smack in the middle of Château Margaux and Gruaud Larose, and was managed by the Tesseron family of Pontet Canet fame. But this one isn’t $1,000,…
The 2009 Chateau Montrose earned a perfect 100-point score from Robert M. Parker Jr. The venerable critic has bestowed Montrose with four perfect scores from the 1989, 1990, 2009, and 2010 vintages, making it the crowning glory of the Saint-Estèphe appellation and one of the greatest estates in Bordeaux history. Parker reckoned the 2009 was…
Since the 2009 Château Montrose was bottled, THREE of the Wine Advocate’s most respected critics have weighed in with perfect scores: Robert Parker himself, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, and William Kelley. Kelley, a world-class palate and the publication’s current boss, scored the ‘09 just three years ago, lauding it as “a brilliant wine,” and “a benchmark for…
Old World Perfection From 4,000 Feet Up It’s safe to say that there is no other winery in the world quite like Chateau Musar, the “Lafite of Lebanon.” About 15 miles north of Beirut, Musar produces astoundingly complex and aromatic reds that are the equal of First Growthslike Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. It’s the only Middle Eastern…
The 2009 Château Palmer is Margaux at its most brilliantly sensuous, a bottle of historic greatness and soul whose rich, round yet almost weightless texture, high-toned bouquet of blackcurrant, dusty earth, violets and leather, and magnificent structure mark it among the most collectible Bordeaux releases in recent memory. Winemaker and CEO Thomas Duroux and these…
Located on the Pauillac plateau directly across from First Growth giant Mouton Rothschild, perhaps Château Pontet-Canet always had the raw material for greatness. But not until it was purchased in 1975 by the Tesseron family did it start to fulfill its lofty potential. When he tasted it on release, Robert Parker called the 2009 Pontet-Canet…
Located on the Pauillac plateau directly across from First Growth giant Mouton Rothschild, perhaps Château Pontet-Canet always had the raw material for greatness. But not until it was purchased in 1975 by the Tesseron family did it start to fulfill its lofty potential. Now, this estate is one of the best arguments that the 1855…
When we first visited Château Smith Haut Lafitte in 2009, proprietors Florence and Daniel Cathiard had high hopes for the vintage. How right they were: Their 2009 would go on to earn a perfect 100-point score from Robert Parker himself, who praised it as “the finest wine ever made” by the couple. Now, 11 years…
100-Point Legend and His Near-Mythical Vintage Robert Parker famously called 2009 “the finest vintage I have tasted in 32 years of covering Bordeaux,” comparing the crop to 1899, 1929, 1949, and 1959 — the most extraordinary vintages of the last 120 years. A bold statement, but one that may be equalled by his admiration of…
Rioja offers outstanding quality matured red wines at a fraction of the price of other famed regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, or Napa. Why? The wines are approachable upon release as specific aging requirements are mandated for all producers within the region, adding complexity from savory notes of tobacco, leather, and umami, along with red…
The bubbly of Marilyn Monroe and James Bond and poured at Princess Diana’s wedding, Dom Pérignon is luxury personified. Named “quite possibly the most iconic wine in Champagne, and perhaps the world” by Antonio Galloni — above and beyond Dom being one of the world’s most iconic wines — it is genuinely an exceptional wine….
Single Village Grand Cru from One of Champagne’s Best There are high-scoring wines, and then there are high-scoring wines like this—bottles that reshape what you thought you knew about an entire category. This 95-point blockbuster—which Wine Advocate called “a great and really delicious 2009 vintage Champagne that drinks beautifully today and will continue to do…
