'The NV Brut Rose Recolte Rose is also 100% Pinot Noir from vineyards in the Cote des Bar. Here the expression of fruit is a touch more linear and tense than in the Recolte Noire, yet the muscle and density of the Pinot are unmistakable. This is a beautifully balanced rose loaded with class and elegance. Disgorged July 2008 (not indicated on the label). Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013' - Wine Advocate

'Tasted single blind against its peers. The Chateau Coutet 2007 has a very intense bouquet with lemon curd and orange blossom mixed with clear honey. There is impressive precision here, almost crystalline. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine viscous entry, great weight and intensity with racy acidity. There is also much tension cutting through the layers of viscous fruit on the sorbet-like finish. This is a typical Coutet through and through and it should age effortlessly over 20-30 years. Tasted January 2011.' - Wine Advocate

'An expressive and notably ripe, indeed even ever-so-mildly exotic fruit nose overlaid with ample floral influence leads to slightly finer and detailed middle weight flavors brimming with dry extract that confers a seductive mouth feel onto the intense, dry, persistent and mouth coating finish. There is a hint of sulfur on the entry but not enough to really make me question whether it can be successfully absorbed. Decanting advised.' - Burghound

I had hoped this wine would turn out closer to outstanding, but it is an excellent Cantemerle, if not quite as stunning as I had expected. The wine offers a dark ruby color, and a sweet nose of black raspberries, subtle new oak, and acacia smells. There is fine sweetness and solid tannin in this elegant, symmetrical wine. It is more forward and lighter than it was from cask, but it is a stylish example of Cantemerle. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015 - Robert Parker

'Here however the SO2 is more noticeable at present and I would strongly suggest decanting this if you're going to try one young. Otherwise, there are pretty notes of lemon and rose petal with a hint of resin that precedes the attractively textured middle weight flavors that possess good fat but no the same cut and intensity. To be sure, this is delicious and finishes with an agreeable dryness but overall, I slightly prefer the Chaumées.' - Burghound

'The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Tradition, which is primarily Grenache (about 90%), and the rest small parts of Mourvedre and Cinsault, displays sweet black cherry fruit with hints of the seaweed wrappers used in sushi bars, pepper, spice, a nice, round velvety palate with sweet fruit and roasted Provencal herbs. This wine has always reminded me of the 1999 which was a successful vintage for Usseglio. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.' - Robert Parker

The 2011 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet red, a blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, and the rest Syrah, Counoise and other permitted varietals, is an overachiever in this vintage, exhibiting a dark ruby/purple color, loads of earthy, peppery, meaty kirsch and raspberry fruit, a hint of tobacco leaf, underbrush and plenty of spice.

A multi-regional blend of 96% Shiraz and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2004 Shiraz reveals abundant amounts of sweet blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with notions of creosote and toasty oak. Well-made and medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin and low acidity, it will drink well for 5-7 years - Robert Parker

Each 3 bottle case contains:

1 x The Strawman Marsanne Vin de Paille
'The 2006 Mr. K The Strawman Marsanne Vin de Paille is 100% Marsanne from the Beckmen Vineyard that boasts 240 grams of residual sugar per liter. A medium gold-colored effort, it reveals more marmalade notes interwoven with notions of maple syrup, honeysuckle, and exotic tropical fruits. While untuously-textured with remarkable sweetness, it is not cloying because of the fresh acids. I have no idea how long these wines will last, but they will undoubtedly keep for many years.The final wines to be bottled under the "Mr. K." moniker include the 2006 The Nobleman and 2006 The Strawman.' - 97 points Robert Parker

2 x The Nobleman (Chardonnay)
'The Nobleman Chardonnay (200 grams of residual sugar per liter) reveals phenomenal fresh, lively acidity as well as wonderful honeyed peach, marmalade, tropical fruit, and creme brulee characteristics. It is a Trockenbeerenauslese-styled wine that is a fitting tribute to the effusive and much revered Alois Kracher.' - 95 points Robert Parker

The 2008 possesses loads of fruit, but not the density and complexity I predicted from barrel. The bottled wine is a supple-textured, hedonistic style of St.-Emilion with plenty of herbaceously-tinged red and black fruits, medium body, silky tannins and a lush, fleshy, succulent finish. Consume it over the next 7-8 years.

'The NV Brut Premier Cru Les Vignes de Vrigny emerges from the glass with warm, toasty notes that lead to an expressive core of pears, nuts, spices, licorice and flowers. The Vignes de Vrigny develops lovely amber, burnished tones in the glass that add complexity to the fruit. This mid-weight Champagne should continue to drink beautifully for at least a few years. The Vignes de Vrigny is 100% Pinot Meunier that spent 36 months on its lees prior to being disgorged in July, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016' - Wine Advocate

'The 2004 Grenache Clarendon Hills exhibits a lovely dark ruby color along with a big, sweet kiss of black cherry liqueur intermixed with hints of tobacco leaves and resiny pine forest scents. Aromatic, smooth, velvety textured, and sexy, this is a full-bodied, delicious Grenache to drink over the next 7-8 years.' - Robert Parker

The finest vintage since 2000, the 2006 Nenin comes across as a classic Pomerol with lush kirsch liqueur, mocha, mineral, and floral characteristics. Made in a muscular, rich, full-bodied style with moderate tannins as well as impeccable purity, texture, and length, it should drink well between 2012-2025. Robert Parker
