Porta dos Cavaleiros, Dao

Caves S. Joao, established in 1920, became a dominant force in Portuguese wine making in the early 20th century with their houses Porta dos Cavaleiros in Dao and Frei Joao in Bairrada. Given the shifting trends in consumer preferences, Bairrada and Dao fell to obscurity in the 1990s when critical influence drove the demand for bigger, extracted, warmer climate wines. As in all things, however, what comes around goes around!

Renzo Odicino

1991 Barbaresco – Renzo Odicino (Piedmont, Italy)

A quietly beautiful, fully mature Barbaresco that favours perfume and finesse over power. Brick-garnet with a tawny rim, it lifts with dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal and violet, cedar, leather and sweet tobacco, with a hint of orange peel and tea leaf. The palate is elegant and savoury: red-cherry fruit carried by lively acidity; tannins are fine and resolved, giving silk rather than grip. The finish is long and tapering with cherry skin, dried flowers and gentle spice.

From carefully selected, well-stored bottles, this shows the ethereal side of Nebbiolo—more incense and dried flowers than muscle—making it a superb bottle for refined, slow meals and conversation. …

Pauillac

Carruades is the second label wine produced by Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.
After fermentation and maceration, the wines are tasted, selected and put together according to their different qualities. This step is very important because this is where we make the difference between the great "Lafite" and the second wine "Carruades de Lafite". The wines are drained off into oak barrels. We use 100% new barrels for the ageing of Lafite. The year after, these same barrels will be used for the Carruades.

Carruades de Château Lafite is the celebrated second wine of the iconic Château Lafite Rothschild, situated in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. …

The finish is long and tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.

This is dinner-table Chianti in a classical key—elegant, nuanced and ready to pour. …

Bekaar Valley, Gaston Hochar
Magnum

The 1989 Musar is a blend of Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Carignan from this well-known and highly regarded Lebanese winery.

Chateau Musar is often referred to as the Lafite of the Lebanon. Wine maker Gaston Hochar defied the odds producing a string of great wines during the Lebanon War. Musar has assumed legendary status. Complex, long-lived and endlessly varied, in some vintages it seems more like a Burgundy, in others a Bordeaux, in still others a Hermitage. But it is always brilliantly, uniquely, Lebanese. Ages magnificently but good vintages are usually best at 10-20 years old. …

Pomerol
***94 Points- Neal Martin for the Wine Advocate

***94 Points- Neal Martin for the Wine Advocate, tasted 2016***

"The 1989 Vieux Château Certan has long been one of my favorite wines of that decade. The bouquet shows no signs of relinquishing that title with gorgeous black truffle, bay leaf, warm gravel and briary scents that are simply beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity, "warm earth" on the entry, leather and truffle, great depth here with sublime precision on the finish, which is bridled with hints of mushroom and cloves. Maybe this is reaching its peak? Then again, it shows absolutely no signs of reaching the end of its plateau. …
