A SUPERB PRIVATE COLLECTION OF FINEST CLARET OF THE GREAT TRIO OF VINTAGES, 1961,1966 AND 1970
The following wines, lots 142 to 155, have remained in single ownership and professional, temperature-controlled storage for over 30 years. Levels are mostly firmly in the range that should be expected for wines of this age and still under original corks. Indeed, the world's foremost expert on old Bordeaux and founder of Christie's Wine Department, Michael Broadbent states, "that mid-shoulder levels are not abnormal for wines of 30 to 40 years of age; upper-shoulder, a slight natural reduction through the easing of the cork and evaporation through cork and capsule. The majority of these wines are offered in original wooden cases, unopened until recently inspected by members of Christie's wine department
Lying in Corsham, Wiltshire (Octavian)
Château Pichon-Longueville, Baron--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 2me cru classé
Levels: eight top, two upper and two mid/upper-shoulder
In original wooden case
