MIXED LOTS FROM A WINE PROFESSIONAL
The following consignment comes to Christie's from an industry professional and passionate collector. This gentleman has worked in wine his entire career and has the knowledge and palate to prove it. The wines were purchased on release and stored in pristine temperature and humidity controlled storage, upon which they were removed and transported directly to Christie's care. Samples from this cellar have been uniformly excellent.
Pétrus--Vintage 1997
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
One nicked label
"The backward 1997 (2,300 cases produced) needs 3-4 years of cellaring. The dense plum/ruby/purple color is accompanied by a closed bouquet of mocha, dried tomato skin, and black fruits. In the mouth, it is one of the most muscular 1997s, exhibiting outstanding concentration, length, intensity, and depth, copious tannin, and a fine mouth-feel. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #128 (Apr 2000)
