| Aalto Aalto PS 2003 |
P.S.(Pagos Seleccionados). This wine will be a super-premium wine, made
only in years when the quality of the harvest allows for the highest
standards. A special and careful selection of the best fruit, from
specific vineyards, leading to batch fermentation and individual
barriques leads to the name.
The Wine Advocate
The
2003 Aalto PS is purple/black with an unusually expressive nose for
this hot vintage. It reveals smoke, toast, vanilla spice, blueberry,
and blackberry jam. This is followed by a fleshy wine with excellent
depth and full-body.
The Wine Spectator
Hard
to resist this lush, modern red, with its mouthwatering blackberry and
boysenberry fruit and lavish toasty vanilla oak. But has plenty of
structure, with ripe tannins and fresh acidity, so give it time to
develop. Drink now through 2015.

| Aalto Aalto ribera del Duero |
Wine Advocate 92:
A purple-colored wine offering a stylish nose of smoke, toast,
graphite, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. On the palate it is medium
to full-bodied, ripe, and slightly compact with an elegant dense finish.
-- Wine Advocate
Ruby-red. Intense perfume of
boysenberry, sexy oak spices, vanilla and candied flowers. The
concentrated flavors of red and dark berries and vanilla are almost
sweet but are nicely lifted by juicy acidity. Finishes lush, broad and
long, with supple tannins.

| Brunier Telegramme CDP 2004 |
| It pours clear garnet, very light in color for a Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It seems light on the nose and palate, too, opening with a vinous scent of raspberries, spice, faint vegetal notes and a high-toned whiff of volatile acidity. It's a little more inviting in its flavor, juicy and very tart, simple red fruit and white pepper over almost sour acidity, on the thin side. |

| Cape D'Estaing Shiraz 2003 |
Winemaker's notes:
The color of this wine is
a very deep red, dark and opaque - typical of Cape d'Estaing wines. The
nose is lifted, ripe and forward showing generous plummy Shiraz notes
with plenty of complementary oak. The palate is big and full, with rich
lingering Shiraz flavors such as spice, plums and berry fruits. The
structure is solid and complete with the young tannins providing a
great backbone to the palate. The wine was aged in a combination of
French (60%) and American oak - 80% hogsheads and 20% barriques. 78% of
the barrels were new and the remainder had been used once before.
"The dense ruby/purple-colored 2003 Shiraz exhibits a
distinctive earthy component along with loads of spice, black currant,
plum, and sweet pepper-like characteristics, full body, beautiful
fruit, and surprising acidity as well as freshness. Drink it over the
next 7-8 years." -Robert Parker's, The Wine Advocate

| Carsin Cuvee Noir 2005 |
| The complex nose is already nicely developed, very open and rich. It
has aromas of ripe, almost sweet fruits and cassis as well as plums and
earthy and spicy roasted characters. The taste is very rich and
mouth-filling. Aromas are similar to the nose - dark berries, smoke and
well integrated oak. The rich fruitness is supported with soft tannins.
The aftertaste is intensive, very long and harmonious, leaving a
mouth-watering feeling. |

| Charbonniere CDP VV 2003 |
The best balanced wine of the entire portfolio
of 2003s is the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes. A complex nose
of mineral, kirsch liqueur, raspberries, balsam, and pepper jumps from the
glass of this medium to full-bodied, nicely layered, structured, rich wine with
notes of black cherry and raspberry. Deep but with lovely ripe tannin, this
wine can be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years.

| Clarendon Grenache Kangarilla 2004 |
Planted
on quite sandy soil with a flatter gradient, the wine is early to ripen
and always shows its characteristic raspberry/plum, blackberry fruits
intertwined with mint and other herbs. A very voluptuous wine which is
always a real crowd pleaser.
Wine Advocate
From
another ancient vineyard composed of sandy soils overlaying clay, the
2004 Grenache Kangarilla is a big, up-front, exotic, fruit-dominated
effort displaying loads of mountain berries, blackberries, white
pepper, herbs, and spice. While not the most complex of these
Grenaches, it is a lush, fleshy, beautifully-textured example to enjoy
over the next 8-10 years.
Score: 92.
—Robert Parker,
October
2006.
Winemaker
Roman Bratasuik calls Kangarilla “quite a warm spot,” and that
character is evident in this wine’s dark blackberry and plum flavors,
soft, open-knit texture and warmth on the finish. It’s a lush, sexy
wine with tons of appeal in its youth—why wait?
Wine Enthusiast Score: 92.

Ripe
and distinctive. Spot-on wild blackberry flavor at the center, with all
the floral and spicy attributes smoothly integrated. The finish sails
on and on against a polished texture. Drink now through 2016.

| Clarendon Hills Grenache Hickinbotham 2004 |
Situated
just across the road from the Clarendon Old Vines Grenache Vineyard but
on much harder ground facing north. The wine here is quite austere in
its youth developing slowly but positively. Always shows lots of spice
on the nose, marzipan also, and a palate which is long and tightly
focused with abundant white pepper and Asian spices in the aftertaste.
Wine Advocate 90
From
a vineyard planted in 1920, the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Grenache
Hickinbotham reveals abundant quantities of sweet black raspberries,
blackberries, loamy soil, licorice, and spice. This evolved, forward,
plump, and lush as well as powerful cuvee can also be enjoyed over the
next 7-8 year. |

| Clarendon Hills Syrah Mortiz 2004 |
A very consistent vineyard, which always has very
dark color and black plum fruit with a gamey, leathery background.
This has more to do with Cornas or Hermitage.
Wine Advocate
An
amazing performance, even better than last year As showing from
tank, the 2004 Syrah Moritz is produced from one of Clarendon
Hills A youngest vineyard sites (planted in 1975). The wine was
aged in 42% new French oak for 18 months prior to being bottled unfined
and unfiltered. Gorgeous aromas of flowers, blueberries, cassis, and
meat jump from the glass of this cuvee. With huge body and a rich,
intense style, Bratasiuk claims it is his hypothetical blend of a
Cornas and Hermitage, although it possesses more fruit than most of
those wines. It should drink well for a minimum of 15 years.
Score: 95.
—Robert Parker,
October
2006.
This
wine is stylistically somewhere between the Liandra and the Brookman.
Its a rich and dense, packed with authoritative flavors of dark
fruits ”blueberries and plums”accented by espresso and smoke. Long
and powerful on the finish, with 10-plus years of ageability.
Wine Enthusiast

Big
and rich, but surprisingly graceful, with lavish raspberry, rhubarb and
cherry flavors that linger beautifully. Picks up meaty, gamy notes on
the finish, wrapped in a veil of polished tannins. Best from 2008
through 2014. 500 cases imported.

| Falesco Marciliano |
| Winery's Notes: "Made from 70% Cabernet
Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc grown in estate vineyards in Umbria.
The grapes were harvested in October and the must spent 28 days on the
skins. Malolactic fermentation was carried out in barriques (Nevers and
Tronçais) where the wine remained for 16 months prior to an additional
6-12 months in bottle. Marciliano has a profound dark purple color and
exhibits complex aromas of tobacco and slate. This wine is a great
representation of Cabernet when all of nature's forces are working
together. Layers of fruit are evident on the nose and on the palate,
while the tannins are expressive without being too aggressive."
The Critics: Wine Enthusiast Editor's
Choice: "Here is a knockout wine from one of Italy's most talented
enologists, Riccardo Cotarella, that delivers classic Cabernet green
notes followed by bursting tones of blackberry, tobacco, toasted
coconut flakes, apple pie crust and ... distant hints of black
licorice. The aromatic complexity is stellar and so is the velvety
mouthfeel; a genuine crowd pleaser." -Wine Enthusiast, 93 points. |

| Falesco Montiano 2003 |
winemaker's notes:
Winner of Italy's coveted Tre Bicchieri
award. Made from 100% Merlot grown in the Montiano vineyard in Lazio.
Montiano's soil is volcanic and rich in stones and the vineyard has a
south/southwestern exposure. The grapes were harvested in early
September. After fermentation, the wine was aged in Nevers and Tronçais
barriques for 12 months. Montiano has a wonderful deep, ruby red color
and a wide range of aromas such as vanilla and small red fruits with
layers of jam and sweet spices. It is full-bodied, round and soft on
the palate with an elegant and lingering finish. |

| Gaja Darmagi 2000 |
| Intense, deep red, almost black. Opulent layers of
concentrated fruit. Though very Cabernet in character, Darmagi owes its
distinctive, austere personality to the unique terroir of Barbaresco.
Excellent fruit with strong cassis flavors and impressive power on the
palate carry through to the long finish with persistent soft tannins.
Great aging potential.
Wine Spectator
Aromas
and flavors of berries, earth and lightly toasted oak follow through to
a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a long finish. Needs some
bottle age to come together. Pure Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2006.
1,000 cases made.

| Gaja Sori San Lorenzon 2000 |
| 2000 Gaja Sori San Lorenzo Barolo: Serious dark color, with meaty,
earthy aromas that blow off to ultraripe and exotic fruit. Fresh
truffles and porcini. Almost Port-like in the end. Full-bodied, with
masses of velvety tannins and a long, long, caressing finish. Solid.
This was the first of Gaja's single-vineyard Barbarescos to be vinified
separately, in 1967. Best after 2010. 970 cases made. 97 Points Wine

| Gaja Sori Tilden 2000 |
Displays the roundest
tasting profile of all Gaja single-vineyard wines. The rich body,
subtle texture and fine, ripe tannins are typical for this wine of
great finesse, the quintessential expression of the land and the
Nebbiolo grape. This wine has extraordinary aging potential--more than
forty years in outstanding vintages.
Color: Deep purple
Nose: Complex aromas of toast, minerals, sour cherries, cedar, spices.
Palate: The rich body, subtle texture and fine, ripe tannins are
typical for this wine of great finesse, the quintessential expression
of the land and the Nebbiolo grape.
The 2000 Sori Tildin is larger in dimension than the Costa Russi but
the major difference is in the nose, riper, warmer, and with more
chocolate and licorice as well. The roundness and suppleness, the
richness of the extraction, and the ampleness of the finish are also
superior to Costa Russi. Drink: 2005-2018. Robert Parker 93

| Gibson Shiraz 2003 |
Intense
liquorice, ripe prune Shiraz characters on the nose with interesting
notes of coconut, orange peel and smoke. The palate is powerful, thick,
round, juicy and shows all the hallmarks of good Shiraz treated with
sensitivity to produce a great wine. It has extraordinary weight and
viscosity. It shows generous sweet fruit balance with perfect acidity
and chocolate like tannins. The finish is dry and harmonious and lovely
fruit flavours linger on the palate. Dark-coloured and richly
concentrated with some raisiny aromas and sweet-fruited, high extract
palate that really satisfies. Plum and fruitcake flavours; soft
and long lasting on the finish. For big red lovers! Best now to
2015
Wine
Advocate #161 (Oct 2005) Robert Parker 90 points. Made from younger
vines, the full-bodied, ripe, well-endowed, heady 2003 Shiraz exhibits
earthy blackberry/chocolate notes, a touch of sweet earth, and a
full-throttle finish. Although it is the least complex of this quartet,
it is substantial in the mouth.
