FOCUS ON FINEST MAGNUMS
This collector has continually developed a penchant for sourcing, collecting and enjoying the very best wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and California. His focus has been on magnums for their ability to age and ideal size to be shared with friends. It has been one of the great privileges of working in the wine trade for me to enjoy several great wines with him including a stunning 1949 Ausone. A very rare wooden case with straw of 1970 DRC Montrachet originally from the collection of Henry Singleton 1970 is not to be missed with is beautiful color amid this incredible array of magnums.

Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Level: bottom neck. Rebouchée in 1977
"A consistent 100-point wine (only because my point scale stops at that number), the 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is truly one of the immortal wines of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its remarkably exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, coffee, tobacco, mocha, and Asian spices. An extraordinarily dense, opulent, and rich wine, with layers of creamy fruit, it behaves more like a 1947 Pomerol than a structured, powerful, and tannic 1945. The wine finishes with a 60+ second display of ripe fruit, extract, and sweet tannin. This remarkably youthful wine (only light amber at the edge) is mindboggling! Will it last another 50 years?
The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series II - Flight B of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #103 (February 1996)
