From time to time, we come across special offerings and rare opportunities in the world of wine. Unfortunately, that window of opportunity slams shut before we have the time to create an email to notify you that something special is available. So, we have come up with the Duke's Spotlight to draw your attention to those special offerings that have a very limited time frame attached. When you see Duke's Spotlight in the subject line and see this special format, please remember that there is an element of urgency and you need to act quickly. These notices will not have the usual Duke "signature" email content - we intend to keep it quick and to the point - perhaps a short quote, a score, then price and availability. Short and sweet, yet with an aura of urgency.

The wine:
Numanthia 2004 Termanthia

Parker rates it 100!!

The quote:
Believe it or not, the 2004 Termanthia is even better than the Numanthia. From an 11 acre plot, 2600 feet above sea level, planted with 100+-year-old ungrafted vines, the yields were well under 1 ton of fruit per acre. The wine was barrel fermented and received the "200% new oak" treatment over 20 months before being bottled unrefined and unfiltered. Opaque purple-colored, the wine has an awesome nose which is already multi-faceted. There are elements of pain grille, lead pencil, mineral, violets, blueberry and blackberry with just a bit more subtlety and nuance than its two colleagues. On the palate the wine is an infant developmentally with densely packed ripe fruit, sensational balance, and a seamlessness that must be tasted to be believed. It should age like a great vintage of Lafite or Latour and have at least a 50 year life span. If you have a soul, sell it to the devil for a few bottles of this extraordinary liquid. [Emphasis added] There are only 1500 bottles for the American market.

Only 1,500 bottles for the entire U.S.!! So you can guess how small our allocation is. Skip the deal with Satan and call the Duke! We're nicer and you avoid that smell of sulfur.

Our price: $250.00 each. First come, first served!

Note: Prices are good while our supplies last and we reserve the right to change them at any time without notice. First-come, first-served on all offers with limited availability!
