Enjoy rare, exceptional wines? Here are two to add to your collection: 1995 Chateau La Conseillante and 2000 Gaja Barbaresco. Total value is $440.
1995 Chateau La Conseillante, Bordeaux Red Blends from Pomerol, Bordeaux, France. Valued at $190.
93 points by Wine Spectator.
Winemaker Notes: A deep purple color and an expressive nose of black cherries, roasted herbs and subtle oak. The texture is dense, deep and gentle while the flavours are ripe fruit, violets and liquorice leading to a long, velvety finish.
2000 Gaja Barbaresco, Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy. Valued at $250.
95 points by Wine Spectator, "Like smelling a bouquet of flowers and then a bowl of raspberries. Full-bodied, with perfectly integrated tannins and a very fine, silky texture. Long and caressing. A must-have, great wine. Best after 2009."
Winemaker Notes: Super Barbaresco. Intense aromas of ripe plums, violets and berries lead to a full-bodied palate with chewy tannins. Long finish tastes of super ripe fruit. Lovely and powerful wine.
