- Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 2013DEC96JS98WA96VM98$228.98Availability:In Stock
98 Points! The 2013 Comtes de Champagne is a towering Champagne, as it was last year. Rich, sumptuous and explosive, the 2013 soars out of the glass with a captivating mix of tropical fruit, apricot, passion fruit, baked apple tart, mint and yellow flowers. It is one of the most explosive, extroverted Comtes I have ever tasted. Impressive. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
98 Points! Nervy and tight with notes of crushed almonds, chalk, white grapefruit, digestive biscuits, lemons and apricot stones. Hints of fennel and white pepper. Deep and mineral, with plenty of power. Very fine bubbles. Long drive at the end. - JamesSuckling.com

- Seña Valle de Aconcagua 2013JS99WA96$129.98Availability:In Stock
99 Points! Superb aromas of black currants, rose petal and mint. Lavender and stones too. Full body with incredible fruit density. Complex, yet it's agile and bright. Tannins are perfectly polished. It builds on the palate and shows the structure of a first growth Bordeaux but remains so Chilean. A blend of 58% cabernet sauvignon, 15% carmenere, 12% malbec, 10% merlot, and 5% petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes. This is a joy to taste now but it will show itself in 2019. Even better than the amazing 2012. - JamesSuckling.com

98+ Points! The famous Bosché Vineyard is a spot in Rutherford composed of gravelly, loamy soil and situated just at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains. A blend of 93.8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.2% Merlot, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Bosché Vineyard was aged 28 months in French oak. This vineyard has turned out many a classic wine capable of lasting 30-40 years, and this 2013 is one of the all-time great Bosché Cabernet Sauvignons. It offers an inky ruby/purple color, a gorgeous nose of graphite, black cherry, wood spice and barbecue notes, enormous body and richness, and a heady, full-bodied, long finish of 50+ seconds with moderately high tannins. This is a great classic from Napa, but not one for drinking over the near-term. Give it 7-8 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 50 years. - Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com

98 Points! Originally a part of the legendary Piper-Heidsieck Champagne house, Rare is moving their Champagne Millésime to a new brand and want it to stand alone. (Think Delamotte and Salon.) The 13th vintage for this cuvée, the 2013 Champagne Millésime is a blend is 70% Chardonnay with the rest Pinot Noir, with the majority of the blend coming from the Montagne de Reims Grand Cru and Premier Cru. A bright yellow hue, its aromatics are exquisite and well-balanced, with fresh notes of key lime, candied apple, fresh croissant dough, fresh pineapple, and honeysuckle. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with a rounded and supple texture and a pillowy mousse. It’s long on the palate and has a silky personality as well as a long, pristine finish. It has fantastic balance of decadence and freshness, and I could drink this all day. It’s going to have a long drinking window. Drink 2024-2044 and beyond. Disgorged December 2022. - Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com

PLEASE BE AWARE, THIS IS A PRE-ARRIVAL WINE - YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED SHIPPING FEES UNTIL THE WINE(S) ARRIVE
97 Points! This is phenomenal with superb depth and texture. Full-bodied and very sweet, yet the bright acidity balances the wine out. Creamy mouthfeel with phenolic undertones. Great finish. This wine has a great future. Better in 2021, but already great. - James Suckling
94-96 Points! Full and rich, this is a powerful wine. It’s packed with botrytis-driven flavors of wild honey and peach, balanced by tight acidity. For long-term aging. - Wine Enthusiast
93-95 Points! The 2013 Suduiraut has one of the more flamboyant bouquets of the vintage, one that is actually reminiscent of de Fargues. There are copious Satsuma and dried honey scents, hints of beeswax and almond that keep your snout in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced with a viscous entry, just a touch of marmalade and quince coming through, and then blossoming toward the weighty finish that shows just a touch more oak at the moment. This is an excellent Suduiraut. - Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
94 Points! This is on the exotic side of the ledger, with mouthfilling ginger, mango, quince and papaya flavors that course through, backed by a singed marshmallow note on the long, unctuous finish. Approachable, but no hurry. - Wine Spectator
93 Points! Fresh and zesty with an almost minty-herbal edge. Deceptively rich as well (150g/L RS). Sweet attack on the palate, then long and linear on the finish. The acidity is present but wrapped in fruit. - Decanter
- Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2013 500mlWE96JS95$59.98Availability:In Stock
95 Points! This is a great introduction to Tokaji Aszu at the beginning of its (very long) ideal drinking window. Stunning nose of lemon curd, dried peach and candied pineapple. Rich and creamy with a touch of marzipan character, but more importantly bright acidity and fine tannins that makes this so invigorating. Spot-on balance through the very long and bright finish. A blend of 75% furmint, 15% zeta and 10% harslevelu. Sustainable. - JamesSuckling.com
Learn MoreHURRY, ONLY 3 LEFT! - Trimbach Gewurztraminer Alsace Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre 2013WS92JS95WA94$64.98Availability:In Stock
95 Points! Fabulous aromas of honeysuckle, lavender, stone and menthol. Full-bodied, lightly off dry, spicy and powerful. Very long and rich. What potential. Fabulous gewurz. - JamesSuckling.com
94 Points! The 2013 Gewurztraminer Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre comes from predominately Keuper marl-limestone soils in Hunawihr (Muhlforst area) and Ribeauvillé (Trottacker) which give this age worthy wine a full and powerful style. Nobly clear and elegant on the deep and concentrated but super subtle nose where ripe bright fruit aromas with a dash of lemon juice are displayed. Round, piquant and very elegant on the palate, this is an intense, complex, lovely mineral and extremely well defined wine with a stimulating vibrancy and a nice tannin grip which, in combination with the minerality, gives not just tension and power but also a very long and salty Gewurztraminer with mandarin flavors and flowers in the very persistent aftertaste...Produced from old vines from the former wine estate of the Lords of Ribeaupierre, the grapes are selected and harvested at the peak of their ripeness. It is a wine with flowery and spicy aromas and a dry personality, and yet so rich and so fruity that it almost hints at sweetness … a mere illusion...In youth, the roundness and viscosity can mask its typical dryness as well as the underlying finesse which is the Trimbach trademark. - Stephan Reinhardt, roobertparker.com

Clos Cazals’ Vieilles Vignes comes from the oldest vines of Clos Cazals planted by Delphine's grandfather. This plot-based cuvée, from vines in excess of 60-years-of-age, sees time in barrel followed by an extended period en tirage. Again, lively and expansive, yet with pinpoint mousse, with a broad, complex palate impression and striking length, this performs at the highest level at half the price… Learn More
- Cocito Barbaresco Riserva Baluchin 2013WA93VM92$64.98Availability:In Stock
93 Points! This wine is always released much later than its peers. The Cocito 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Baluchin draws its fruit from a cool and high-altitude growing site in Neive where obtaining acidity and fruit brightness is never a problem. These conditions also suggest a longer cellar-aging window. The fact that the 2013 vintage was spared major temperature spikes during the summer months further reinforces these impressions. This Riserva presents dark cassis and plum, with some spicy elements of crushed clove, balsamic herb or rosemary essence. - Monica Larner, robertparker.com

93 Points! Very specific to the variety with rosemary oil and wild sage, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Nemo is a thick and brooding wine with loads of concentration and thick extraction. This is a beautiful expression that is endowed with power and impressive length. The quality of fruit in this slightly cooler vintage is sharp, focused and penetrating. - Monica Larner, robertparker.com

94 Points! Sleek and lightly chalky in texture, this vinous version shows a well-spiced range of wild strawberry, macerated cherry and orange liqueur flavors, with accents of graphite, violet and fennel seed. Long and mouthwatering, with the plushly creamy finish carrying the expressive profile. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged April 2020. Drink now through 2033. - Wine Spectator

93 Points! The 2013 Brut Cuvée Empreinte is endowed with notable richness and body, yet remains super-elegant and refined. Empreinte is 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, all from Cumières, done mostly in oak, although there is not much of a presence of wood. Kirsch, red plum, spice and attractive toasty notes build nicely over time. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: December 2019.

91 Points! Deep ruby. Black and blue scents are complemented by suggestions of candied licorice, vanilla, woodsmoke and mint. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering nicely concentrated cassis and bitter cherry flavors along with smoky mineral and candied rose accents. Shows very good clarity and spicy on the incisive finish, which features supple tannins and lingering floral and cracked pepper notes. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

- Castello Di Ama Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Bellavista 2013 MagnumJS94WA95VM94$449.98Availability:In Stock95 Points! The superb 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista shows impeccable balance and offers a classic portrait of Sangiovese (with a small part Malvasia Nera). Castello di Ama has a beautifully unique way of interpreting the potential of the Chianti Classico appellation and this wine is a prime example. The bouquet follows classic lines with wild berry and spice, but Vigneto Bellavista also boasts a wild side with some cured meat and animal-like aromas that suit it very well. The mouthfeel is polished and streamlined, but those dark fruit flavors should flesh out with more bottle aging. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate #228Learn MoreHURRY, ONLY 1 LEFT!
- Paolo Conterno Barolo Ginestra 2013JS93WA95$69.98Availability:In Stock
95 Points! The 2013 Barolo Ginestra shows grace and purity, with significant power at the back that is partially fueled by the wine's well-integrated alcohol (recorded at 15%). The wine's texture is compact, and the flavor knitting is tight and carefully detailed. These qualities bode very well for the future evolution of this vintage that will undoubtedly soften and flesh out with more time in the bottle. - Monica Larner, robertparker.com
