PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE DEANE F. JOHNSON
Sold to benefit The Deane F. Johnson Alzheimer's Research Foundation
Removed recently by Christie's staff from a custom built walk-in private home cellar maintaining excellent humidity and 60 degree F temperature. Wines purchased on release and from leading Los Angeles and New York retailers.
Château Lynch-Bages--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
Levels: one top and one upper shoulder; one light bin soiled label
In an unassuming moment I had the great pleasure to share a bottle. The volume of aroma filled the glass and even the room. I chose two to join me in evaluating this bottle condition and we were all in awe of its greatness. Today, this stands as one of my all time favorites from the 1961 vintage. And while it had more finesse, on that day it stood tall against the likes of Latour & Petrus and above Lafite. A classic wine of immense proportions with no near term signs of decline. ST
