Chateau Pontet-Canet 2009, Pauillac, (Bordeaux)
600.00
62% Cabernet Sauv. 32% Merlot, 4% Cab. Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
Bright, full ruby. Pure vibrant aromas of cassis, blackberry, blueberry, licorice,
graphite and leather. Like liquid velvet on entry, then energetic and sharply delineated
in the mid-palate with penetrating minerality intensifying the pristine dark berry
flavors. Shows suave noble tannins and a magically light touch for such an intense wine

Chateau Latour, Pauillac, 2011 (Bordeaux)
1100.00
84.5% Cabernet Sauv.. 15% Merlot, .5% Petit Verdot
Dark ruby in color with purple accents at the rim, the perfume offers wet forest floor
aromas, cassis, cedar wood, spice, earth and blackberry. Subtle, refined and elegant, this
finesse style of Latour is long, clean and pure. Lacking the concentration of 2010 or
2009, this stylish Latour is long and filled with pure, spicy cassis in the fresh finish.
Just sensational texture and balance. WE97 WS96 JS96 RP95
Chateau Margaux, Grand Cru, 1995, (Bordeaux)
1350.00
75% Cabernet Sauv 20% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.
1995 is a true great vintage with all the hallmark characteristics: power, depth,
richness, complexity, subtlety and harmony. Elegant in every way with flavors of
fruits, spices and spring flowers. This full-bodied wine has plenty of tannins and
flavors that are rich and delicious and that linger on and on. Aged 18 months to
two years in oak after which the wine is refined but not filtered. One of the best
known wines in the world. Wine Spectator 100
