662 Opus One Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend 2001
This wine starts with tons of rich new oak in the aroma, showing the most in-
viting notes of cedar, cigar box and pencil lead that segue to the remarkable
fruit. The attack is powerful with a punch of cassis spreading broadly and deep-
ly across the palate. With its sturdy, clean tannins, this beautiful wine displays
classic power, elegance and balance.

663 Glenmorangie Signet Single Malt Scotch
Matured in made-to-order casks and created from a combination of the oldest
and rarest Glenmorangie whiskeys, Signet uses high roasted "chocolate" malt
barley and is unchill-filtered. The velvety taste follows a nose of chocolate torte
and treacle plum pudding.

664 Cheval des Andes 2014
Intense red color with purple shades, this bordeaux's nose is subtle, whipsered
and precise, but at the same time wide and enveloping. It reveals delicate fresh
aromas such as violet and pepper in harmony with warmer notes of raspberry
and black fruits. Its full-body, manifested from the mouth entry, is accompanied
by very fine tannins that converge in a tense finish with marked acidity and
freshness.
