| 2001 | Lafite, Pauillac very strong currant aroma, extremely tannin yet balanced with great fruit, oak and acidity. - so - ws | 179.99 | ***** |
| 2000 | Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer-Tokalon Cabernet, Napa Valley "Mystery wine" as finale to the 2001 Bordeaux First Growths tasting. Black plum nose, jammy, lots of plums and plums with a hint of coffee. Concentrated but not very complex. Marginal 5 stars. I easily figured it was a 2000 Napa Cabernet, incorrectly thought it was Joseph Phelps Baccus Vineyard Cabernet or Insignia. - so - ws | 69.99 | ***** |
