The Immaculate Collection: Property from a Mid-Western Connoisseur
Wines were sourced from Christie's and other major auction houses or purchased on release from reputable merchants. All were stored in pristine home storage at a constant 50 degrees and 70 percent humidity. Samples of wine were tasted from this cellar and Christie's specialists found them to reflect perfectly the outstanding provenance.
Romanée-Saint-Vivant--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (Marey Monge)
Two damp stained labels, bottles numbered 1045-1056
In original wooden case
"A gorgeously spicy and seductively complex nose that is still quite primary and the fruit spectrum is almost completely black followed by tight, primary, intense, structured flavors that at the moment don't quite seem to have adequate buffering fat. This finishes with class, grace and fine length though there is a dry edginess and it is not clear that this will ever completely harmonize. A very good rather than genuinely great effort. Multiple and consistent notes." BH, Dec 19, 2005
