A VERY FINE COLLECTION OF TOP QUALITY BORDEAUX, PRINCIPALLY FIRST GROWTHS, RARE DE VOGUE BURGUNDY AND SUPER-TUSCANS ALL OFFERED WITH PERFECT PROVENANCE, IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND IN ORIGINAL WOODEN CASES OR CARTONS.
The following lots, 101-229, represent a small but carefully selected representation from one of the greatest wine collections in Europe.
Most of the wines are relatively young but increasingly difficult to source with this impeccable provenance. The selection features notable vinous highlights from the period 1996-2005, all being purchased immediately following each vintage and since remaining untouched in original wooden cases or original cartons in the superb temperature and humidity-controlled storage of the seller.
Many other similar examples of wines such as these from alternative sources, are likely to have been traded on multiple occasions, even in their relative youth and hence have been stored in numerous different locations with all the vagaries of transit, arrival and varying storage conditions to consider. Not these.
These are truly 'one-owner' wines where the buyer can be 100 confident that they are competing for wines with a storage history that matches the best 'ex-cellar' offerings and the purchase of which always followed a careful selection process which considered only the best available wines from any given vintage.
All the hard work has been done for the fortunate buyers of these lots - both in terms of selection and storage.

Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Offered in original wooden cases or original cartons
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Tasting note: Classic Lafite...still very deep and intense, with opaque core but showing signs of maturity at its rim; very good nose, cedary, subdued - will need air and coaxing; surprisingly sweet, good fruit, almost chewable, good firm fruit and long dry finish. As previously noted, a wine that so often needs time and patience, particularly in a vintage like '96. Last tasted March 2006 (****) 2016-2030. M.B.
