10. 2016 Chateau Plince

Wally's price: $50
92 Points - Wine Advocate

The 2016 Plince is a blend of 79% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Franc. It has a medium garnet-purple color and offers up scents of red and black currants, black cherries and mulberries with scorched earth, bay leaves and iron ore nuances plus a hint of violets. Medium-bodied, the palate is packed with energetic red and black fruits, textured with ripe, rounded tannins and loads of freshness, finishing on a compelling mineral note. -Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

9. 2016 Chateau Vray Croix de Gay

Wally's price: $79
96 Points - Vinous

The 2016 Vray Croix de Gay is deep, sumptuous and opulent to the core. Inky blue/purplish fruit, crme de cassis, mint, sage, lavender and hard candy give the 2016 its sweet, unctuous personality. Even with all of its intensity, the 2016 possesses striking detail and nuance. This is an especially flamboyant style, but it all works beautifully. The 2016 has been absolutely fabulous on the three occasions I have tasted it so far. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous

8. 2016 Chateau Belair Monange

Wally's price: $215
95-98 Points - Wine Spectator

This is about as pure a beam of unadulterated cassis and cherry sauce as you can get, beautifully silky in feel and carrying through a very long, refined finish. The chalky echo is there, but it's really tucked away for now. Lilting incense hint in the background too. -James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

7. 2015 Chateau La Dauphine

Wally's price: $27
91-93 Points - Wine Advocate

The 2015 La Dauphine is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Having vexed about the 2014 last year, the 2015 is a much "happier" sample, pure and quite elegant with black cherries, blueberry and cassis fruit, the new oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, crisp blackberry and bilberry fruit with a healthy sprinkle of white pepper to spice up the finish. This is an excellent Fronsac, although it deserves 4-6 years in bottle. -Neal Martin, Wine Advocate

6. 2015 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion

Wally's price: $549
98 Points - Wine Advocate

The deep garnet-purple colored 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion is a blend of 58% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. Youthfully mute with bright, youthful red currants, black raspberries, cassis and freshly crushed blackberries notions, it slowly unfurls to reveal an earthy/minerally undercurrent of damp soil, charcoal, iron ore and truffles plus a waft of violets. Medium to full-bodied, decadently fruited and yet wonderfully elegant with very ripe, very silky tannins, freshness that sits well in the background and an almost electric intensity of vibrant red and black fruit flavors, it finishes long and minerally. Just. Beautiful. Consider giving it 6-7 years in bottle before broaching and drink it over the next 30+. -Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

5. 2015 Roc de Cambes

Wally's price: $69
92 Points - Vinous

The 2015 Roc de Cambes is dense, powerful and savory in style. Iron, grilled herbs, tobacco and cedar are some of the many notes that give the wine its distinctive feral personality. Energetic and vibrant in the glass, it offers notable intensity in a wild, almost unrestrained style. This especially forbidding, rustic 2015 needs a bit of time to be at its very best; I would give it at least a year or two in bottle to allow the tannins to soften a bit. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, but the Cabernet is especially strong. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous

4. 2014 Chateau Smith Haut-Lafitte

Wally's price: $89
94 Points - Wine Advocate

The 2014 Smith-Haut-Lafitte has a fragrant mulberry and strawberry scented bouquet with cedar and subtle undergrowth scents emerging with time. There is something almost Musigny-like here (written as a complement incidentally why not be compared to the greatest Burgundy Grand Cru?). The palate is medium-bodied with a soft and mellow opening. Quite spicy in the mouth with leather-tinged fruit on the open and inviting finish, there is something very approachable about this Smith-Haut-Lafitte, though like the 2014 Pape-Clement, it contains the substance to drink well over 10-15 years. -Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate

3. 2012 Chateau Cheval Blanc

Wally's price: $650
94 Points - Wine Advocate

A beautiful wine that always seems to drink well, the 2012 Cheval Blanc has a sweet, fragrant nose of black and red currants, floral nuances and spice. Supple, round and juicy, this wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 15 or more years. -Robert Parker

2. 2012 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou

Wally's price: $150
94+ Points - Vinous

A big wine for the year, the 2012 Ducru-Beaucaillou possesses striking depth and intensity from start to finish. Sweet tobacco, cedar, smoke and savory herb overtones add intrigue to this deep, fleshy Saint-Julien. I imagine the 2012 will age for several decades based on its fruit density. Whether the tannins ever become noble is another question. Still, it is impossible not to admire the wine's pure depth. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous

1. 2016 Chateau Trotanoy

Wally's price: $395
99 Points - Wine Advocate

Composed of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Trotanoy is characteristically a little closed at this youthful stage, slowly unfurling to reveal compelling notions of chocolate-covered cherries, black raspberries and mulberries with touches of pencil lead, crushed rocks, underbrush and chargrill plus a fragrant waft of star anise. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and invigorating freshness supporting the densely packed, muscular fruits, finishing very long and mineral laced. -Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate

20. Gooderham & Worts Four Grain Whiskey

Wally's price: $50

A blend of corn, rye, wheat and barley and bottled at 44.4% ABV this pours a golden/amber color. On the nose look for notes of honey, toffee, dried flowers, and bubble-gum; the palate is rich and full with a smooth/viscous mouthfeel and flavors of sweet floral and stone fruit followed by a medium-length spicy finish. - Producer Notes

11. Boutiquey Whisky Company Islay #2 25 year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Wally's price: $225

There is an underlying sweet fruitiness on the nose; oranges and pink grapefruit are masked by waves of earthy peat smoke. There's coke too, like ash from a blacksmith's forge. The smoke is mellow, and it's sweet toffee and licorice that lead followed by an oily maritime feel with a salty tang. The finish is oily with salty licorice, and a sweet smoke that lingers, and lingers, and lingers... did they mention it lingers? - Producer Notes

10. 2005 Balblair Single Cask Single Malt

Wally's price: $90

A 13 year cask strength single bourbon cask from Balblair. The dried cereal and oats gives way to honeyed floral notes on this subtle yet powerful whisky. - Ryan January, Wally's Spirits Buyer

Wally's price: $225

98+ - Vinous

The 2008 Dom Prignon is fabulous, but quite remarkably, it was even more open when I tasted it a year ago. Bright, focused and crystalline in its precision, the 2008 is going to need a number of years before it is at its best. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper give the 2008 its chiseled, bright profile. Several recent bottles have all been magnificent. – Vinous

This is always one of the best village Gevreys on the market, easily as good as many producers' premiers crus. With 15% whole bunches and 30% new wood, this is a balanced, spicy, pithy red with glossy tannins, freshness and stylish oak. 93 points. -Decanter

7. 2016 Chateau de Marsannay Marsannay

A discreet, even shy nose offers up attractively fresh and ultra-pure notes of citrus, honeysuckle, white peach and a hint of acacia blossom. There is excellent delineation to the intense, equally pure and seductive middle weight flavors that possess good verve and plenty of minerality on the solidly persistent finish that delivers outstanding depth. This elegant beauty is a refined mix of punch and finesse. - -Allen Meadows, Burghound

5. 2017 Comte de Vogue Musigny Vieilles Vignes

Wally's price: $1,200

94-96 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has a very expressive, complex bouquet, the mélange of red, blue and black fruit making it difficult to identify a single dominant color. Blueberry, wild strawberry and black currant intermingle, and hints of sea spray and touches of orange blossom develop with time. The harmonious, silky palate is almost like a Romanée-Saint-Vivant in texture, offering great depth and an energetic, peppery finish that lingers long in the mouth. A divine Musigny that will deserve some bottle age. 94-96 points. -Neal Martin, Vinous

4. 2016 Louis Jadot Nuits Saint Georges

Wally's price: $59

92 Points - Wine Spectator

3. 2017 Niellon Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Vergers

Wally's price: $135

93 Points - Burghound

Once again the nose is noticeably pungent with its aromas of petrol, rosemary oil, resin and soft floral nuances. The vibrant, fresh and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured, complex and driving finish. This is first-rate and the best of these 1ers in 2017. 93 points. -Allen Meadows, Burghound

2. 2017 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne

96 Points - Decanter

Anyone who feared that quality would drop after a change of ownership at this historic domaine will be happy to know that this grand cru white is as good as ever. Blending components from three different terroirs and altitudes, it's an elegant, textured, saline white of incredible precision and understated power, with subtle toasty oak and undertones of jasmine and lemongrass. 96 points. - Decanter

1. 2017 Clos de Tart

Wally's price: $700

96-98 Points - Neal Martin

The 2017 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was matured in around 80% new oak, the barrels toasted chauff blonde. Jacques Desvauges mentioned that the wine needed oxygen ingress during maturation that only new oak can give. I tasted the component parts (as usual) as well as the blend. This has a very detailed, delineated bouquet offering mainly black fruit mixed with sous-bois, tobacco, clove and bay leaf, the typicité of the appellation showing through nicely. It feels very succinct and yet so fresh. The palate is beautifully balanced on the entry with a killer line of acidity. Pure black cherry fruit is joined by bilberry, hints of black olive and a marine/oyster shell tincture that comes through quite strongly toward the persistent, saline finish, which fans out with confidence. This is a brilliant follow-up to the benchmark 2016 by Jacques Desvauges and his team. 96-98 points. -Neal Martin, Vinous

When the Calvisius Caviar masters come across such a rare gift, they label it Special Reserve. Wally's has just been allotted a very limited quantity of this rare wonder and we're excited to be able to offer it to you! Tasting Notes include deep, rich, creamy umami flavors reminiscent of Beluga with a finish that keeps going and remains as pure as the first bite. Spectacular in every way! Only available in 100g tins.- Kurt Gurdal, Wally's Director of Specialty Foods
