1997 Jean Tardy Nuits-St.-Georges 'Les Boudots ' Burgundy France
Aromatically and texturally there is greater similarity to Vosne-Romanee than to Nuits-St.-Georges. That is, more velvet, more finesse, more exotic aromatics. A lovely, lovely wine.
Price: $69,95

1997 Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Burgundy France
After the ravages of phylloxera in the late 1800s, the Latour family (Corton Charlemagne's largest landowner) uprooted dead Aligote and Pinot Noir vines and replaced them with Chardonnay. Corton Charlemagne is now Latour's flagship wine and the standard-bearer for the appellation. This is a lovely, medium-full-bodied wine with creamy, floral, honey fruit, and mineral notes. Aging in new French oak for 12 months added a toasted nut character. Best in 2-7 years.
Price: $109,95

1997 Nigl Gruner Veltliner Alte Reben Kremstal Austria
Nigl is legendary for having gone from an old family concern that sold their fruit to the co-op, to being rated top winery in the land by Gault-Millau in 1995 and 1998. How did they do it? By making astonishingly complex, precise wines with sheer expressive harmony that blows others away.

1997 Nikolaihof Riesling Spatlese Steiner Hund Reserve Wachau Austria
Nikolaihof is more than a winery or a business or a farm or a family endeavor. The whole operation appears to be based on the question: Just how pristine, how perfect, how entirely right can people make wine?

1997 Paul Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle magnum Northern Rhone France
The 1997 vintage was a great one in the northern Rhone, and this is a sensational wine that compares favorably with the legendary 1990, 1978, and 1961 La Chapelles. This magnum was bottled unfiltered and will require at least 3-4 years of patience before opening; it should last another 20-30 years beyond.
Price: $249,00
