Almost all of these wines could be described as “highlights”, but the following in particular should be noted:

2004 Beaucastel - Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin (IWC 96-98) - “...deep nose combines cherry, raspberry, licorice, smoked meat and mineral notes, all lifted by an intense floral quality. A stunning example of freshness and precision married to power, with deep cassis, bitter cherry and candied licorice flavors enlivened by zesty minerality and framed by firm but harmonious tannins. 'This is not about extraction,' notes Perrin. The endless finish echoes the mineral and floral tones, showing a persistent lavender note...” - Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar

2003 Quilceda Creek - Cabernet Sauvignon Washington (WA 100) - “Unlike some minuscule production "cult" wines or luxury cuvees...that have earned perfect scores over the years, Quilceda Creek's Cabernet Sauvignon is the winery's raison d'etre... mouth-watering aromatics of black chocolate, sage, and blackberry liqueur... Its awe-inspiring core of cassis liqueur, violets, blueberry nectar, black cherry syrup, and chocolate is immensely muscular yet elegant. Texturally reminiscent of liquid velvet, it slathers the palate with oodles of fruit, displaying unreal depth, balance, and length. Wow! Congratulations Alex and Paul, welcome to the big leagues.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

2005 Clos Mogador (WA 98) - “The 2005 Clos Mogador is the first wine in Spain entitled to the new classification of 'Vi de finca Qualificada'... a superb bouquet of toasty oak, pencil lead, mineral, blackberry and black cherry...an opulent, dense, packed, structured wine with 6-8 years of aging potential. Super-concentrated, sweetly-fruited, and complex, this tour de force of a wine will drink well from 2012 to 2040.” - Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate
