A slumbering giant awakens in the Médoc On the great wine trails of France, June makes for quantity, August for style, and September for quality. During the 2000 growing season in Bordeaux, August was glorious, and September featured day after day of turquoise skies and a couple intense heat spikes. As usual, Robert Parker recognized…
The Vintage of the Century, 17 Years On In the spring of 2001, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate published a vintage report that would rock the wine world. As Parker wrote, Bordeaux’s spring of 2000 couldn’t have been less auspicious. One of the worst outbreaks of mildew in memory caused château owners to double up efforts…
Twelve Perfect Bottles Only three months ago in November 2017, Antonio Galloni awarded this 2000 Cheval Blanc a perfect 100-point score. “A wine of exquisite aromatic depth and grace, the 2000 Cheval Blanc is fully captivating,” Galloni wrote. “All the elements fall into place in an effortless, gracious wine. It’s frankly hard to move past…
Very dark color with hints of purple. The aromas are sumptuous and captivating, both powerful and extremely delicate on the palate, with remarkable tannic structure and length. A relatively early season with above average temperatures and normal rainfall. At the end of May and early June made the vines vulnerable to mildew, but our technicians…
First-Rate “Second Label” from Saint-Julien In the spring of 2001, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate published a vintage report that would rock the wine world. As Parker wrote, Bordeaux’s spring of 2000 couldn’t have been less auspicious. One of the worst outbreaks of mildew in memory caused château owners to double up efforts in the vines….
Léoville Las Cases is a First Growth in everything but name. With vineyards that border Château Latour and one of the most quality-obsessed winemaking teams in the world, it’s at the pinnacle of Bordeaux. Even in modest years. But in 2000, a year that Robert Parker once called “the greatest vintage Bordeaux has ever produced,”…
2000 Château Léoville Poyferré Saint-Julien: 120 bottles. Pristine condition. In April 2001, The Wine Advocate published a vintage report that would rock the wine world. As Parker wrote, Bordeaux’s spring of 2000 couldn’t have been less auspicious. One of the worst outbreaks of mildew in memory caused château owners to double up efforts in the…
Monumental 2000 Bordeaux With Perfect Provenance We have secured a precious 10 cases of 2000 Léoville Poyferré coming direct from the cellars in Saint-Julien — in perfect condition and provenance at a venerable 17 years old. Here’s your chance to secure mint-condition, perfectly-aged bottles of Parker’s 97-point 2000 Poyferré, which the venerable critic called “brilliant”…
Think about the oldest bottle of wine you’ve ever tried, or even a fairly old bottle. If the experience was beyond memorable—as in, you had an answer immediately, and could recall every detail—then you already know what it will be like to secure this 2000 Château Lynch-Bages. Just three years ago, in December of 2015,…
Chateau Musar is often likened to the First Growths of Bordeaux and the great wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape—an apt comparison, but one that has its limits. After all, those great wines define their regions. Musar, on the other hand, defines a nation. It’s one of the planet’s most celebrated and storied wines—a wine of place, whose…
Here’s how our judging panel usually goes: We taste crisp whites, heavier whites, rosé, lighter reds, then full-bodied reds. Somewhere in there will be a trip to the taco truck. And by the time the burliest Cabernets have all been judged, we’re usually ready to call it a day. But the marvelous mahogany-colored bottle of…
In the first vintage of the new millennium, Roederer’s Chef de Cave Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon pulled off a remarkable feat with his tête de cuvée, Cristal. He took a cool, classic growing season and drove it STRAIGHT down the fairway, garnering a trifecta of 95-point scores from Vinous, Decanter, and Wine Advocate—even matching the score of…
It’s hard to think of a wine that benefits more from time in the cellar than great Barolo. Often stern and structured in its youth, time reveals detail, nuance, and complexity that were unforeseen when the wine was young—but it’s exceptionally rare to find bottles with any sort of age on them in the market,…
The Rioja that Shocked the NYC Somms Presenting a flight of classic-vintage wines to a group of sommeliers is often a fraught experience: The best of them taste so much extraordinary wine that they tend to be a jaded bunch, and even the so-called grand-slam bottles fall flat. And when these top-flight tastings take place…
Perfectly Aged Pomerol Ready to Enjoy Bordeaux collectors would have been wise to purchase the 95-point 2001 Clos l’Église Pomerol on release when Robert Parker declared it to be “one of the candidates for wine of the appellation in 2001.” Pomerol “produces some of the most expensive, exhilarating, and glamorous wines in the world,” according to…
Only made in exquisite vintages, Cockburn’s single-vineyard 2001 Quinta dos Canais Port has been slumbering for nearly two decades and is finally ready for the spotlight. Concentrated and intense, the tannins have developed a soft, powdery edge, but are dense enough to carry the honeyed black fruit, floral, and spice intensity of the palate through…
Finding top-quality estate-aged Burgundy is one of the greatest challenges in the wine world. It’s made in such limited quantities that it quickly disappears into collectors’ cellars, rarely to be seen again. That’s why it’s such a coup that we can present the 2001 Domaine de la Vougeraie Réunion de Famille—a classic bottle of Old…
95-point Red from Portugal’s Mustachioed Maverick Our first taste of the 2001 Luis Pato Quinta do Moinho Vinho Regional Beiras came at a cozy and dimly lit restaurant in Lisbon called Enoteca Chafariz Do Vinho. The Enoteca’s cellar, which burrows deep underneath a Roman ruin, was laden with pristine Bairrada and Dao wines dating back…
Crafted by the “Angelo Gaja” of Portugal In a 300-word rave, the superlatives chosen by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate to describe this 95-point 2001 Luís Pato Vinha Barrio tripped over each other: a “silky,” “vibrant” effort that was also “remarkable” and “very impressive.” Wine & Spirits’ matching 95-point review gushes that “it offers a flavor…
A 15-year-old Nebbiolo like no other: Barolo meets Vosne-Romanée We were in the middle of tasting 50 bottles of 2016 rosé when the Google Alert popped up on our phones: “Eleven Madison Park is the Greatest Restaurant in the World.” The NYC hotspot had been named the Best Restaurant in the World by World’s 50…
