1. #16583 - Beaucastel 1999 Chateauneuf Du Pape Red - $45.99 On Sale  
91-95 Points - Robert Parker
"In 1999, Beaucastel`s red wine yields were average, a small 25 hectoliters per hectare.  The 1999 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape is a profoundly rich, concentrated, classic vin de garde.  Made from 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and the remainder a blend of other varietals, it is one of the blackest, most opaque-colored Beaucastels of the last decade.  The bouquet offers aromas of licorice, roasted meats, black cherry and blackberry fruit, and a truffle-like earthy note.  Broodingly backward, formidable endowed, powerful, and extremely tannic, it will require 8-10 years of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for three decades or more.  Francois Perrin compares it to the thrilling 1990, but at this stage, it appears to me to be more structured and closed than the 1990 was at a similar age.  In any event, it is a great wine, but readers older than 55 should think twice before investing in such a backward vintage."Have your own tasting notes?

2. #12285 - Beaucastel 1999 Chateauneuf Du Pape White - $47.99 On Sale  
91 Points - Robert Parker
"Beaucastel`s 1999 Chateauneuf de Pape blanc is a terrific success, not surprising in view of the fact that all recent vintages have been gorgeous.  It is made from 80% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc, fermented in 80% cuves and 20% barrels, of which 10% are new, and bottled with minimal clarification.  Like a top Hermitage, the Perrins subscribe to the theory (and I tend to agree) that this is a wine to drink during its first 2-4 years of life, or forget it for at least a decade.  It takes on an oxidized mid-life crisis between 5-10 years of age, and re-emerges as a completely different animal around age ten.  Of course, each vintage has its own track record, but it is a fascinating wine to drink young, as well as an impressive one to have after ten years.  The light gold-colored 1999 reveals intense marmalade and rose petal, honeyed richness with a touch of spice and toast.  Thick and unctuously-textured, but supported by excellent acidity, it can be drunk over the next 4! -5 years, and then ignored for a decade.  It will keep for 20 years."Have your own tasting notes?

95 Points - Wine Spectator
"A classy and impressive young Bordeaux from an appellation that stepped up in '96. Dark-colored, with plenty of currant and spice aromas, the wine is full-bodied, with very velvety tannins and allspice, berry and currant flavors. Long, long finish. One of the wines of the vintage, it's a beauty.Best after 2005."  Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!

6. #16449 - Parusso 2000 Barbera D`Alba Ornati - $18.99 (comes to $15.19 when you buy a case)  
The Parusso name is now famous with quality and consistency. The 2000 Barbera Ornati is a special wine, huge ripe fruit but lots of spice and pepper which is unusual for this type of wine.  Parusso is making great wine in Peidmont and this is one of their very best values. Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!

8. #16599 - Robert Foley Claret 1999 - $149.99 On Sale  
93 Points - Wine Spectator
Limit 4 bottles per customer please!
"Most of Robert Foley's debut 1998 Claret perished in a warehouse fire a year ago, so he is calling this wine his second first-release. The winemaker for Pride Mountain Vineyards made a delicious 1998 vintage, but due to its loss, I never printed a formal review. As only a few bottles survived the fire, the 1999 vintage will be the first wine people taste and it's a dandy. Made from grapes grown at Pride, it's a sleek, plush, tightly focused wine, loaded with spicy herb-laced cherry, plum and currant fruit flavors, and showing a long, persistent finish. The wine is a blend of Cabernet and Merlot, chosen from the best lots of wine made from Pride Mountain Vineyard." - James Laube - Wine Spectator"Have your own tasting notes?

9. #13839 - Heidsieck "Diamant" Rose 1988 - $74.99 (comes to $59.99 when you buy a case)  
94 Points - Wine Spectator
"Splendid. A contrast of fresh berry, apple and more mature elements of mushroom, toffee and coffee are beautifully presented on an elegant structure. Dense, it coats the palate, with a long, long finish. Drink now. "Have your own tasting notes? Post your own review of this wine on Wine Library.com!
