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.

Dominus Estate Bordeaux Blend 2008
rp: 99Description:
Made in a more masculine style, the 2008 Dominus has all of that along with bigger body and more structure, fat, density and texture. Both are brilliant wines and they represent the finest back-to-back vintages for Dominus since 2001 and 2002 or 1990 and 1991. Both the 2007 and 2008 Dominus should drink well for 25-30 years.

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 .

Mas Doix Vinyes Velles (in magnum) 2005

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."
