| 2000 - Chateau Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin |
| "The 2000 possesses an impenetrable black/purple color as well as a sumptuous bouquet of melted licorice, creosote, new saddle leather, blackberry and cherry fruit as well as roasted meats. Sweet and full-bodied, with great intensity, huge power, and a finish that lasts for 67 seconds by my watch, this is an amazing tour de force in winemaking. Even in a flattering, forward-styled vintage such as 2000, it will need 7-8 years of cellaring." |

| 2000 - Chateau Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin Chateauneuf du Pape |
| "The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin is a blend of 60% Mourvedre, 20% Grenache, 10% Counoise, and 10% Syrah, the standard blend for this cuvee except for the 1998, which had 60% Grenache and only 20% Mourvedre. The 2000 possesses an impenetrable black/purple color as well as a sumptuous bouquet of melted licorice, creosote, new saddle leather, blackberry and cherry fruit as well as roasted meats. Sweet and full-bodied, with great intensity, huge power, and a finish that lasts for 67 seconds by my watch, this is an amazing tour de force in winemaking. Even in a flattering, forward-styled vintage such as 2000, it will need 7-8 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040." (WSB2004) |

| 2004 - Chateau Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape |
This item is available at the Willowbrook, Grand Ave. and Schaumberg Binny's locations only.
"One of the great successes of the vintage and certainly better than their 2003 is Beaucastel’s 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape. Deep ruby/purple in color with loads of licorice, smoked game, black cherry and blackberry fruit, along with incense and truffle, the wine has fabulous richness, high tannin, medium to full body, and beautiful length, richness, and purity. This is a beauty and one of the vintage’s finest wines." |

| 2005 - Bodegas Alto Almanzora Este |
| "Opaque purple-colored, the wine exhibits a surprisingly complex array of mineral, mushroom, black cherry and blackberry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with gobs of ripe fruit, this easy drinking wine has a firm, lengthy finish. At the asking price, this is an awesome value." |

| 2005 - Bodegas Castano Hecula |
| "Inky violet. Deep cherry and cassis aromas complicated by an array of floral, mineral and herbal nuances. Powerful dark fruit flavors are firmed by solid tannins and lifted by gentle minerality. Picks up smoked meat and anise notes on the long, chewy finish. This could be a Bandol." |

| 2005 - Bodegas Juan Gil Jumilla |
| "Intense floral, spice and red berry aromas offer striking pungency and clarity. Sweet red fruit on the palate, dusted by sexy oak spices and gaining a suave gingerbread quality on the close. With its sweet finish and impressive silky persistence, this reminds me of a southern Rhone wine." |

| 2005 - Casa Ermita Santa Ana |
| "Dark ruby in color, it offers up pleasant aromas of mushroom, coffee, and red currants. This is followed by a medium bodied wine with soft tannins and low acidity. A slightly compact finish held down my score. Drink this good value over the next 18 months." |

| 2005 - Core Elevation Sensation |
| "The brilliant 2005 Elevation Sensation Alta Mesa Vineyard (82% Mourvedre and 18% Grenache) exhibits notes of creme de cassis, kirsch, blueberries, licorice, and truffles. Full-bodied, powerful, and silky-textured, it is stunningly complex with notes of flowers, red and black fruits, earth, and spice. Rich, layered, full-bodied, and built like a skyscraper, this beauty should be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years." Reviewed by Robert Parker. |
