Louis Latour 2002 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)
- $100
Immense power lies behind the initially seductive nature of this wine. It is powerful, ripe, complex, full of tropical fruits, and still at first it seems to be restraining this intensity. Give it 10 years and it will be mind-blowing.

Dr. Pauly Bergweiler 2003 Bernkasteler Badstube Eiswein Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $175
Absolutely incredible eiswein, with finely etched flavors of pear and pineapple that flow across the palate like fruit syrup borne on light-footed acids. Stunningly sweet, but with great balancing acidity and a finish that lingers for minutes.

Domdechant Werner 2003 Hochheimer Kirchenstück Beerenauslese Riesling (Rheingau)
- Cellar Selection
- $300
Wines like this are why 2003 has generated such buzz across Germany. Thick and oily-textured, and filled with flavors of superripe pears, peaches and dried apricots, this is a monumental dessert wine. Yes, it’s decadently rich, but it also boasts sufficient acidity to keep it from becoming cloying. Finishes long, with lingering notes of tropical fruit and citrus…

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2002 Grand Cru Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann Pinot Gris
- $102
This is a wonderful wine, which comes from the vineyard in the south of Alsace that the Humbrechts brought back from obscurity. It has both intensity and also great elegance. It has flavors of currants, layers of orange zest and some fresh acidity. But it also has spice which lies gently with the fruit flavors. The taste just goes on forever.

Domaine de Chevalier 2002 White (Pessac-Léognan)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
This is a great wine, which will age almost indefinitely. What makes this wine so great is its complex mix of intense fresh fruits, flavors of pink grapefruit and subtle wood. But there is also a depth of acidity, which shows how well this wine will age.

Château Haut-Brion 2002 White (Pessac-Léognan)
- $240
Surprisingly lively and fresh, this is still a seriously impressive wine. The high proportion of Semillon is now coming to dominate the Sauvignon, to give a wine that is finely shaped, full of creamy flavors of wood and some white peach. In 10 years, this will still be fresh, in 15 just mature.
