RARE WINE SELECTIONS FROM ONE OF THE CITY'S FINEST CELLARS
Property of a knowledgeable wine connoisseur
Recently removed from a custom temperature and humidity controlled home cellar.
Interested buyers should note that this consignor has several top lots showcased in The Evening Sale held April 27, 2007 in Los Angeles. Featured lots include an Original Wooden Case of 1990 Pétrus magnums, rare lots from Henri Jayer, Domaine and Maison Leroy as well as two Original Wooden Cases of 1990 DRC Assortment. Please reference our catalogue for sale 1899.
After 33 years of seeking out the finest wines the world has to offer our consignor has become a well known personality in both the Northern and Southern California wine scenes. The entirety of his collection has been purchased on release from either winery direct sources or the city's best wine merchants. The collection has been stored locally since release in his private, vibration-free cellar where temperature is maintained at a constant 53 degrees and 75 percent humidity. This is confirmed by the excellent fills his wines enjoy.
A portion of his rather expansive collection was prominently featured in last September's Los Angeles Evening Sale of Finest and Rarest Wines. Christie's is very proud to bring you further selections from one of the city's finest cellars.
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1990
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Removed from original wooden case for wall racking; Bordeaux Wine Locators importer back labels
"The phenomenally rich, well-endowed 1990 Pétrus has been magical from the first time I tasted it in cask. The color is a dense, jammy plum/purple. The wine possesses a knock-out nose of black fruits intertwined with aromas of toasty new oak, caramel, and flowers. Massively rich and full-bodied, with slightly lower acidity and sweeter tannin than its older sibling, the 1989, the 1990 is an extraordinarily rich, seamless wine with layers of flavor, and a finish that lasts for nearly 45 seconds. Although it is remarkably accessible because of its voluptuous texture, this wine has not begun to develop secondary nuances. It should hit its peak in 10-15 years, and last for three decades." Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035. Last tasted 11/97. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
