Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon

No, no, no. You read it wrong. The subject line said "reprise from the Old Prospector," not "reprieve."

After being around all these years, not much will take the Duke, or the Old Prospector for that matter, by surprise. They both were a bit puzzled that some of the Old Prospector's finest nuggets were not snapped up. They are all from vintages in the 1990s. Both Robert Parker and the Wine Spectator thought highly of the entire decade, as evidenced in the chart below:
Year Parker's
Vintage Rating Parker's
Comments Spectator's
Vintage Rating Spectator's
Comments
1991 94 Youthful, slow to mature 91 A star early on, only to be eclipsed by others this decade. Big crop, ripe and complex (Drink)
1992 93 Ready to drink 93 Fine growing season led to uniformly rich, fleshy, supple and balanced wines (Drink)
1993 90 Accessible early 88 Just off the pace, with well-balanced, supple wines and a few stars (Drink)
1994 95 Accessible early 97 A showy year all around; ripe, complex and fleshy, with excellent depth (Drink)
1995 94 Youthful, slow to mature 97 Surprisingly fine year, with wines marked by great flavors, balance and structure (Drink)
1996 90 Youthful, slow to mature 96 A sleeper, with a remarkable number of compelling wines. Warm year with fine concentration and depth (Drink)
1997 94 Some irregular 99 Huge crop of ripe, opulent, fleshy, concentrated wines, from near-perfect weather (Drink or hold)

So, please allow us to remind you of some of the pure gold we still have available. Remember, these are being sold as entire lots, not by the bottle.
