| 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. |

| Charbonniere CDP Perdrix 03 |
| The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix reveals a saturated dark ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a classic perfume of black cherries, raspberries, flowers, and a notion of barnyard/earth. With a fleshy texture, medium to full body, loads of depth, low acidity, ripe tannin, and wonderful sweetness, purity, and overall elegance, it resembles a synthesis in style between a grand cru Cotes de Nuits and a Chateauneuf du Pape. |

| 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.

Shows the heady ripeness of the vintage,
with dark berry, fig, bacony toast and tar aromas and flavors. Stays round and
fleshy though, with no hard edges. Long, fruit- and tobacco-filled finish.
Drink now through 2008. 600 cases made. –JM

| Pallieres Gigondas 03 |
WA Rating: 90
This is a large, complicated domaine because of so
many different parcels and micro-climates. The wine spends a year in
tank after which a selection is made, and it is moved to old wood
foudres for the second year. The 2003 Les Pallieres, which embodies the
essence of Provence, reveals bold notes of garrigue, pepper, herbes de
Provence, saddle leather, and plenty of kirsch and earth. The wine is
medium-bodied, ripe, but has slightly drier tannins than the more
seamless 2004. The 2003 is an impressive, hefty Les Pallieres that
should drink well for 10-12 years.

| Vieux Telegraphe CDP 2004 |
WS Rated: 94 and "Highly Recommended"
Pure and silky, with raspberry, cocoa, truffle and
mineral notes that glide along the fresh acidity. The long finish lets
the fruit and minerality hang nicely, with garrigue in the background.
Should blossom in the cellar. Best from 2008 through 2025. James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com Issue: May 15, 2007

| Villacreces Ribera Duero 2003 |
This rustic red shows cherry, herb and earth
flavors in a thick texture, with gripping tannins. Has muscle but lacks
finesse. Try with food to soften. Best after 2007. 750 cases imported. –TM
