AN EXCEPTIONAL GROUP OF PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OF FINE CLARET, OFFERED MAINLY IN LARGE BOTTLE FORMATS
Lots 1 to 281
It has long been accepted - both logically and empirically - that wines mature more slowly, and consequently better, in larger format bottles, such as the double-magnums, jeroboams and impériales offered here. All these wines will be in prime condition and will be, relative to the same wines in standard bottle formats, a degree less forward and developed. In short they will all mature beautifully for many years to come
The following superb private collections, vintages ranging from 1966 to 1990, have been acquired over many years, with expert advice and have been stored under ideal cellar conditions at Octavian's warren-like underground storage facility at Corsham, Wiltshire
