1989 Haut Brion
“[Our dinner] was accompanied by the gloriously opulent, viscous, tour de force in winemaking, the 1989 Haut-Brion. This wine has been delicious from birth, yet shows no signs of age. It is a quasi-immortal classic that should continue to offer perfection for another two decades. It is the modern day version of Haut-Brion that comes closest to the renowned 1959.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
1997 Harlan Estate
“The 1997 Harlan Estate is one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines I have ever tasted…[an] enormously-endowed, profoundly rich wine [which] must be tasted to be believed. Opaque purple-colored, it boasts spectacular, soaring aromatics of vanilla, minerals, coffee, blackberries, licorice, and cassis… unreal richness and singular personality. The finish exceeds one minute.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
2003 Ermitage Le Pavillon
“A legend of the future is the 2003 Ermitage Le Pavillon…incredibly rich as well as awesomely well-delineated and fresh…intense nose of barbecue smoke, creme de cassis, blueberries, blackberries, and white flowers. The wine cascades over the palate with extraordinary richness, intensity, and silkiness. This seamlessly constructed Hermitage is, analytically, high in tannin, but extremely low in acidity, with a freaky accessibility (a vintage character). Prodigiously concentrated and high in extract, it should last for a half century or longer.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
