Chateau Lafleur-Gazin 2001 Pomerol, Bordeaux, France 90 Rating One of the finest examples to emerge from this chateau in many years, the 2001 reveals a deep ruby color with purple nuances in addition to a perfume of sweet plums, black cherries, earth, truffles, and prunes. Medium-bodied with a sweet attack, ripe tannin and a nicely layered, plush finish, it should be delicious young yet keep for well over a decade. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2013. -Robert Parker(The Wine Advocte)

Chateau Lynch Bages 2004 Pauillac, Bordeaux, France 89 Rating Attractive cassis aromas jump from the
glass of this dark ruby/purple-tinged 2004. While elegant,
medium-bodied, soft, and broad in the mouth, it is slightly
superficial, without the broodingly deep, backward, muscular
personality of this estate’s wines prior to 2001. Given its flavor
profile and softness, the 2004 will have wide consumer appeal if
drunk over the next 10-14 years. Save $14 $79.98 |

Chateau Lamarque 86
Rating Elegant and subtle, with pretty currant, black cherry and plum flavors, but then the tannins begin to take hold. The fruit pours through on the finish, with a touch of smokiness. - Robert Parker (The Wine Advocate)

Chateau Gloria 2002 Cru Bourgeois, Medoc Bordeaux, France 89 Rating Abundant amounts of
licorice, smoke, herbs, cherries, and currants emerge from this deep
ruby/purple-tinged, full-bodied, up-front, flamboyant 2002. It
relies more on fruit and terroir than new oak to seduce the taster.
Surprisingly supple and fleshy for the vintage, it is undeniably a
sleeper of the vintage. Drink it over the next decade. - Robert Parker (The Wine Advocate) 28.98 bottle |

2000 Nuits-St.-Georges 90 Rating Just lovely. A combination of ripe red fruit and mineral notes mingle with subtle smoke in this balanced, concentrated medium-bodied and elegant Pinot. Very reserved on the use of wood, providing a blunt translation of Nuits terroir. $60 - The Wine Spectator $15 Below market! 39.95 bottle |
