1995 Chateau Petrus Pomerol Bordeaux France
Petrus is a masterpiece of a wine that beguiles the senses with a complex array of alluring scents and flavors. This wine is made from 95 percent Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, but forget about Merlot producing soft, supple, approachable wines. The 1995 Petrus is an extraordinary, rich, concentrated, and backward wine that deserves 5-40 years in a temperature-controlled cellar. Limited availability.
Price: $1,00

1996 Chateau Beau-Séjour Bécot St. Emilion Premier Grand Cru Bordeaux
Beau-Sejour Becot is among the elite producers in St. Emilion, yet it remains one of the most reasonably priced. This wine is a blend of 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1996 vintage is especially intense and powerful and would benefit from another 5 to 15 years in the bottle.
Price: $59,95

1996 Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere St. Emilion France
Considerable investments have been made in this property since Count Joseph-Hubert von Neipperg purchased the chateau in 1971. The count’s son Stephan has been in charge since 1985 and the estate is now one of the darlings of the appellation. The style here is a very dark-colored wine with an impressive rich extract of ripe berry fruit, toasty/smoky oak, and balanced tannins. Charming now, but it will improve over the next 10-15 years.
Price: $59,95

1996 Chateau Monbousquet St. Emilion Grand Cru Bordeaux
A Chateau that has really shown what great wine it can produce in the last few vintages. Monbousquet has gone from a somewhat sleepy producer to a serious contender, ready to take on the best in St. Emilion. The 1996 is a rich and powerful wine that will require and reward extended cellaring of 10 to 15 years.
Price: $59,95

1996 Clos Fourtet St. Emilion Bordeaux France
This impressive, ivy-covered property lies opposite the main church at the entrance to St. Emilion. It used to be the site of a small fort (fourtet), and features three stories of underground cellars. The improvement at Clos Fourtet in the last decade is remarkable. Firm tannins provide the backbone and aging potential (10-15 years) for this blackberry, chocolate, and spice-flavored wine.
Price: $55,00
