Clos Erasmus Priorat Tinto 1998
rp: 99Description:
"The spectacular 1998 flirts with perfection. A saturated opaque blue/purple color is not dissimilar from ink. Dazzling aromas of ripe, pure blackberries, violets, blueberries, wet stones, and smoky, toasty oak soar from the glass. Powerful, with an unctuous texture, and super-extracted, rich, concentrated flavors, this blockbuster effort boasts extravagant quantities of fruit, glycerin, extract, tannin, and personality. The wine displays a firm, structured edge, but a viscous texture from super concentration gives it immediate accessibility. This 1998 should hit its plateau of maturity in 7-8 years, and is a strong candidate for 20-30 years of aging. It is a winemaking tour de force." Due to the limited quantity of this specialty item this is not subject to any further case discounts.

Mas Doix Vinyes Velles 2005
rp: 98Description:
The 2005 Costers de Vinas Viejas is aged for 16 months in new French oak. The wine is a blend of 50% Carinena, 48% Garnacha, and 2% Merlot. Purple-colored, it has an other-worldly perfume of pain grille, grilled meat, spice cabinet, espresso, mineral, wild blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by a powerful, masculine, intense Priorat with gobs of flavor, 8-10 years of cellaring potential, and a very long finish. It will be at its peak from 2018 to 2040.

Espectacle Espectacle Del Montsant 2008
rp: 98Description:
"The sheer level of density and richness is stunning although the fruit is very primary at this stage of its development. Aromas and flavors of exotic spices, incense, licorice, truffle, black cherry, and blackberry lead to a full-bodied wine that deftly combines elegance and power. Sweetly fruited, savory, and precisely balanced, this voluminous effort will profit from 4-5 years of cellaring and be at its best from 2015 to 2028."

Clos Erasmus Priorat Tinto 2007
rp: 98Description:
90% Garnacha and 10% Syrah. Aged 22 months in new French oak, it displays a super complex aromatic array that soars from the glass. Mineral, espresso, truffle, white pepper, Asian spices, black cherry and plum are just a few of the notes that come to mind. Dense and rich, on the palate, licorice and chocolate make an appearance with the oak totally integrated. Creamy and suave with no hard edges but plenty of underlying structure, it will evolve for 6-8 years and drink well through 2032 if not longer .

Alion Red 2003 1.5L
rp: 96Description:
"The 2003 Alion is even better than the 2002. It has a similar personality but with more depth and concentration as well as structure. The ripe tannins suggest much more will be revealed with another 6-8 years in the bottle. It will drink well for 15+ years thereafter."

Cvne Vina Real Rioja Gran Reserva 2001 1.5L
rp: 94Description:
95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano barrel-fermented and aged for 3 years in French and American oak. 2001 was a great vintage in Rioja and is reflected in this superb effort. Dark ruby-colored, it exhibits an alluring bouquet (earth notes, background oak, Asian spices, a hint of balsamic, roasted herbs, lavender, black cherry, and blackberry) that is given added complexity from the extended bottle aging.
