Item Description

From Ron Kapon     
Clerico "Percristina" Barolo 1997.  Estimated value $150. 
The Wine Spectator rated this magnificent wine 94.   Brilliant medium garnet, dark fruit, caramel, medium tannins with a long finish and fruity acidity.  Barolo is known as the “King of Wine,” and this examples tells you why.
 
From Peter Sichel: 1985 Chateau Palmer,  Margaux. Estimated Value: $300.
“Robert Parker says Palmer can be as profound as many first growths.  The wine’s texture is rich, often supple and lush, and is always deeply fruity and concentrated.”  Considered a “Super Second” by most wine writers,  Palmer always pleases and impresses. Clive Coates, MW says “Palmer has produced exquisite wines for decades.”  From the private cellar of a cousin of one of the proprietors.
 
From Dr. Geoffrey Kalish: 1990 Ch. Haut Brion, Graves.  Estimated Value: $1250. 
Clive Coates, MW calls the 1990 Haut Brion “one of the stars of the vintage.  Refined, fullish body, rich, lovely balance, complex and lovely.”  One of the top wines in Bordeaux from a particularly good vintage.  A real gem.  What Bordeaux is all about.
 
From Mark Golodetz: 1995 Joseph Phelps Insignia, Napa.  Estimated value: $175.
The flagship wine from one of Napa’s best known and most highly rated wineries.  Robert Parker rates the Insignia as “outstanding” and says the vintage produced a”bevy of fabulous wines.” He rated this wine 97 and referred to the Insignia as seamless, full-bodied and exceptionally pure.  A must for any collector or lover of California red wines.
 
From John Foy: 1986 Ch. Figeac St. Emilion.  Estimated value: $175.
Robert Parker: “I am a huge fan of Figeac [which is] always a wine of finesse.” Clive Coates, MW says that “The wine is somewhat austere in its youth, but has the staying power to last.”  He called the 1986 “Quite good.”  Seductive and elegant, the wine is drinking beautifully.
