MONUMENTAL WINES FROM ONE OF NORTH AMERICA'S GREATEST WINE AFICIONADOS. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE RARE HALF-BOTTLES OF VINTAGES OF THE 1950s, PRE-WAR RED BURGUNDY, MATURE GRAND CRU WHITES, SUPER ITALIANS AND TOP RHONES.
This offering is only part of a much larger collection and belongs to a wine connoisseur in the more traditional mould. The lots reflect a life-time's passion and devotion to seeking out the great bottles and drinking them with friends.
The emphasis here is on the classics of France, and suggests a palate often called English. Mature wines of great caliber are increasingly hard to find and this group presents some intriguing opportunities to taste wines rarely opened.
