Property of an East Coast Connoisseur
All wines have recently been removed from a professional wine storage facility. Most purchased upon release and many still in original packaging.
A good client of Christie's with an eye for quality and provenance, no cellar comes more highly recommended. Buyers may bid with confidence on these wines, knowing that they are all in pristine condition for their age.
David Wainwright
2000 RED BORDEUAX
"Retasting the 2000 vintage three to four months before bottling
provided overwhelming evidence that this is the greatest vintage
Bordeaux has ever produced. Remarkably consistent from top to bottom,
there has never before been a year where so many exceptional wines were produced." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 139
Château Margaux--Vintage 2000
Margaux, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
"Only 40 of the crop made it into this 2000 Margaux, a blend of 90 Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 Merlot.There is great intensity, compelling purity, a multi-layered, full-bodied palate, and a finish that goes on for nearly 70+ seconds. A tour de force in winemaking, many of my colleagues predicted, far earlier than me, that it would be the "wine of the vintage." Absolutely awesome! Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146 (Apr 2003)
