Chateauneuf du Pape La Plume du Peintre, La Mordoree 2003

Lafite Rothschild 2000
Current Winning Bidder: New Item Starting Bid: $1,650 Quantity Available: 2 "Well, well, well - Lafite Rothschild does it again. Ever since..1994, there has been a succession of profound wines to emerge from this noble estate. an extraordinary aromatic expression of liquid minerals/stones interwoven with the tell-tale graphite notes, mulberry, black currants, caramel, and tobacco. In the mouth, it is remarkably light on its feet, but somehow seems to pack intense flavors into layer upon layer of fruit and richness that cascade over the palate. A compelling wine, with extraordinary precision, great intensity, and a seamlessness in spite of what are obviously elevated levels of tannin, this wine was provocatively open and beautiful when tasted in January and February... The finish lasted a whopping 72 seconds! This is utterly fascinating stuff." RP

Pavie 2003
Current Winning Bidder: New Item Starting Bid: $180 Quantity Available: 4 "The 2003 Pavie dense plum/purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary perfume of charcoal, creme de cassis, melted licorice, espresso roast, and blackberries. The wine, which hits the palate with a dramatic minerality, comes across like a hypothetical blend of limestone liqueur intermixed with black and red fruits. With massive depth, richness, and body, this tannic 2003 should be forgotten for 4-5 years, then enjoyed over the next four decades. The integration of acidity, tannin, and woodis flawless, and the wine is incredibly pure, rich, and intense." RP

Pavie Macquin 2005
Current Winning Bidder: New Item Starting Bid: $165 Quantity Available: 2 "It appears consumers can�t go wrong with any 2005 with the word �Pavie� in its name. This outstanding terroir, elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classe status in St.-Emilion�s reclassification, is run with impeccable attention to detail by Nicolas Thienpont, who is assisted by winemaking guru, Stephane Derenoncourt. The 2005 Pavie Macquin may turn out to be this duo�s finest wine to date. This is a moderately large vineyard (37 acres) for the area, and the blend tends to be 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. A black/purple color is accompanied by aromas of charcoal, burning embers, crushed rocks, sweet, pure, blueberries and blackberries, chocolaty creme de cassis, and licorice. It possesses massive concentration, phenomenal levels of tannin, and good acidity, but it is even more backward than either Pavie or Pavie Decesse. A modern day elixir that should prove to be monumental in 15-20 years, it will last for 40+ years." RP

Taylor Fladgate 2000
Current Winning Bidder: inflationhedge Current Bid: $65 Quantity Available: 1 "tastes like a young vintage of Chateau Latour on steroids. Aromas of graphite, blackberry liqueur, creme de cassis and smoke jump from the glass. Spectacularly concentrated and enormously endowed, with sweetness allied to ripe tannin, decent acidity, and layer upon layer of fruit and extract, this is the leading candidate for the port of the vintage."

Compellingly sweet, rich and concentrated, with smoky accents and the elegantly bitter expression of botrytis providing verve and lift.Riveting deep spice character makes for a fascinating, otherworldly finish.

The succulently glazed tropical fruit are nicely juxtaposed by a saline character that keeps the palate fresh, while the wine's creamy spiciness accentuates the long, pristine finish One of the great wines of the vintage" ST
