FINEST 1985 VINTAGE BURGUNDY.REMOVED FROM A TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED.WINE CELLAR..THE FOLLOWING LOTS 534 TO 573 WERE REMOVED FROM A TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED WINE CELLAR IN A NEW YORK APARTMENT, WHERE THEY WERE STORED FOR THE LAST SIX. BECAUSE OF EVIDENCE OF SEEPAGE ON SOME OF THE BOTTLES, SAMPLES OF ALL WINES WERE TASTED BY ZACHYS/CHRISTIE'S WINE DEPARTMENT STAFF. THE WINES WERE DELICIOUS, AND MICHAEL BROADBENT'S TASTING NOTES FOR THESE SAMPLE BOTTLES ARE PROVIDED. THE WINES ARE BEING OFFERED RECOMMENDED FOR DRINKING RATHER THAN LONG-TERM CELLERING, AT ONE-HALF TO TWO-THIRDS NORMAL ESTIMATES. SAMPLE BOTTLES OF EACH WINE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE PRE-SALE TASTING. .
