Château Leoville Barton 1998, Saint Julien, 2ème Cru Classé

"This opaque purple-colored, muscular, full-bodied, classically made St.-Julien displays impressive concentration, chewy, highly-extracted flavors of black fruits, iron, earth, and spicy wood, and a powerful mouthfeel. A pure, uncompromising, traditionally-styled wine, it is to be admired for its authenticity, class, and quality. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2035." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 91 Points. -
Barolo Monprivato 2005, Mascarello

"The 2005 Barolo Monprivato is a very pretty, harmonious wine endowed with tons of purity in its fruit. All of the telltale aromas and flavors of Monprivato are there – geraniums, roses, spices and flowers – but backed up by quite a bit of heft and body as well… This is a mysterious, seductive Monprivato that will be fascinating to follow. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035". 94+ points. Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate.
