MINING FOR GOLD IN THE NEW WORLD
The following lots come to Christie's from one of our most loyal East Coast consigners.
Mouth watering names await the thirsty: Kistler, Harlan, Kongsgaard and Bryant are here in good measure, with a 74 Heitz thrown in for spice. Wines were removed by Christie's specialists from an awe-inspiring home cellar, temperature and humidity regulated, that rivals the best in the world.
Harlan Estate--Vintage 2003
Napa Valley
Both lots in original wooden cases
"The bottled 2003 Harlan Estate is as good or even better than I had hoped. With a dark ruby/purple color, silky tannin, and abundant quantities of licorice, graphite, chocolate, espresso, black currant, truffle, and earthy characteristics, it comes across like a hypothetical blend of a top-notch Pauillac and Graves. Superb texture, low acidity, and gorgeous purity as well as richness suggest it will drink well for two decades or more." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #168 (Dec 2006)
