AN EXCEPTIONAL ARRAY OF THE WORLD'S FINEST WINE
The following consignment reads like a roll call of the world's best estates: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Ausone, Pétrus. In standard bottle size, these wines are among those most coveted by wine lovers everywhere. These wines are but a small selection from one of the world's most distinguished wine collections ever consigned to Christie's. All wines were sourced with meticulous care from reputable brokers and retailers, many directly from the domaines and estates. They were then stored in the owner's cavernous and expansive home cellar where a custom built state-of-the art computer system and backup generator maintained pristine temperature and humidity conditions at all times. Removed by a team of Christie's specialists for this sale.
Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1999
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Three bottles in original wooden case, banded prior to inspection
"The nose was spicy, clove-like, and the new oak very apparent. Although not dramatic, a wine of great depth. Distinctly dry, masculine, concentrated, chewy and of course tannic. Like an unexploded bomb. Tasted Feb 2002 (*****) A great future for the lucky-and very wealthy- few, and a distastrous waste for those who might buy it for almost immediate drinking- alas, this does happen, and unwittingly harms the reputation of the Domaine. This is a serious problem, particularly in the USA. Drink 2020 and beyond." MB, Vintage Wine
