From the very good 2005 vintage and scoring 91/100 Parker points, "The 2005 QUINTA DA GRICHA is impeccably balanced, bright and graceful, with lovely flavors. It is quite charming. In a few months, from the time I tasted it in Portugal to the time I retasted it in the United States, it improved dramatically in the bottle, and fleshed out noticeably, which it needed to do. The tannins are ripe and reasonably well tamed, but the wine does have a backbone and structure. It has a lush first attack, but this continues on with more intensity and penetration, evolving well for hours. It also has a finish that is gripping and lingering, and that becomes more and more intense with air. The mid-palate is well on the elegant side. There were times when the wine seemed a little too elegant and understated for its USA price point (thank the exchange rate problems in large part for that), but the fruit is lovely. It expands in the glass, and the wine is so charming, with a certain Burgundian feel to it, that it is hard to resist. In particular, I really began enjoying a certain red berry note nuance to this wine as it aired out. Give it a couple of hours to wake up and you’ll be more convinced." Drink now - 2040.

From the very good 2007 vintage, and scoring 97/100 Parker points "A candidate for wine of the vintage, the 2007 Graham’s Vintage Port is complete in every way. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up an ethereal perfume of smoke, mineral, Asian spices, incense, an amalgam of ripe black fruits, and a hint of chocolate in the background. This leads to a dense, super-rich, plush, opulent wine that hides its structure under all the fruit. Vibrant, impeccably balanced, and exceptionally lengthy, it will easily age for another 25-30 years in the cellar and drink well through 2050, probably longer. It is a tour de force."

Scoring 89/100 Parker points and from the very good 1996 vintage, "Tasted at the château, the 1996 Phelan-Segur is actually a wine that I tasted regularly around the turn of the millennium. It is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. It has always been a decent Saint Estèphe and there is much to like about it 20 years on. The bouquet is well defined and fresher than the 1986 Phelan-Segur tasted alongside: blackberry, raspberry coulis and a touch of crushed stone. It is classier than some might presuppose. The palate is well balanced, fleshy for a 1996 with ample black cherry, raspberry, sage, game and cedar notes. Quite cohesive in the mouth with fine structure, it is not the most sophisticated Saint Estèphe on the block, yet it continues to give satisfying drinking pleasure and complexity. This is a gutsy Phelan-Segur (a word used by one Robert Parker when tasting this same wine from barrel) and I could easily see this giving another decade's worth of pleasure." Drink now - 2034.

From the very good 2006 vintage and scoring 96/100 Parker points, "The 2006 Dom Pérignon comes from a very rich vintage with an early ripeness that brought a lot of aromatic maturity. The white-golden prestige cuvée contains a bit more Chardonnay than Pinot Noir and opens with a deep and seductive, pretty accessible nose with intense yet fresh fruit aromas of pineapples, with peaches and tangerines. Lively and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, unusually aromatic and fruity DP with a long and tension-filled expression." Drink now - 2041.
