- Bodegas Lar De Paula Rioja Reserva 2005 Product #26897 (In Stock)
-
-
A classy take on Rioja Reserva. It's all Tempranillo fermented in steel and aged 18 months in French and American oak and then held at the winery in bottle until ready for release. Shows the oak-influence you'd expect in a Reserva, but with plenty of spicy black fruit and fine intensity and power. Great wine for lamb or richer beef dishes.
"The 2005 Reserva has a spicy nose with touches of balsamic and cooked meat. The palate is medium-bodied with a juicy entry of blackberry, tobacco and black pepper with a structured, bay leaf-tinged finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. Drink 2013-2019." Wine Advocate 91 points
- Escudo De Plata Monestrell Jumilla Gran Reserva 2005 Product #26950 (In Stock)
-
-
Here's an old-school Monestrell that gives you a taste of what you'd have drunk in Jumilla before it got "discovered" (and tarted up) in the 1990s. After a whopping 48 months in American oak, there's no wood taste at all. Instead, ripe, layered, notes of red licorice, plum, and blood orange zest perfume your glass and linger on your palate. Old-fashioned, mature, but still full of fresh fruit, this is the kind of wine a rich friend would pull from their cellar and serve unexpected (but welcomed) guests. Smells like money. Spend some time with it.

This wine is made in the traditional manner, by aging for 3 years in small chestnut barrels in the eaves of the home of the winemaker. It offers flavors of baking spices, maple syrup, caramel and toffee. It is slightly sweet and is often served with biscotti as a simple dessert. And, with nearly 9 years of aging, it's drinking just perfectly right now!

An utterly captivating bottle of tangy, caramel-inflected, wine made from air-dried Erbaluce grapes in Italy's Canavese region. As the folks from JancisRobinson.com said, "Coppery golden. Sweet dried fruit and fig nose. Intensely sweet, almost embryotic. Intense sweet palate. Very young, very luscious, with hints of orange marmalade. Well-integrated oak. Complete."

- Ch Malmaison Moulis En Medoc Magnum 2005 Product #27191 (In Stock)
-
-
The 2006 of this terrific value Bordeaux made Wine Spectator's Top 100, but the 2005 is even better - especially in bigger bottles! Just entering prime drinking time now, this will continue to improve for 6-8 years.
"Very dark purple in color, showing aromas of mineral, dark chocolate and licorice. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Layered and pretty. Very, very balanced. Close to the excellent 2000. Best after 2012."Wine Spectator 91 points
- Moutard Champagne Cuvee 6 Cepages 2005 Product #26934 (In Stock)

A STUNNING deal in top-flight vintage Champagne made from all six authorized grapes.
"An exotic melange of dried pears, flowers, herbs, lime, red berries and ginger emerges from Moutard’s 2005 Brut Cuvee des 6 Cepages, one of the few Champagnes made with all six authorized grapes. The Cuvee des 6 Cepages is a decidedly exotic, totally beguiling wine loaded with personality. Constantly changing in the glass, it is a pure pleasure to taste. The 2005 is at once rich yet creamy and totally light on its feet. Disgorged: July 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020."Wine Advocate 93 points
