ITALY<br />
ORNELLAIA: A CELEBRATION OF THE WINE’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY<br />
WITH SPECIAL FORMATS <strong>AND</strong> THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE LIBRARY RELEASE DIRECT FROM THE ESTATE<br />
Sotheby’s is proud to o er the fi rst comprehensive release of library wines straight from the cellars of Ornellaia. This superb collection has been made<br />
available exclusively to Sotheby’s and carries a specifi c back label identifying it. Since its fi rst vintage in 1985, Ornellaia has established itself as one of<br />
the great wines of Italy. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and more recently Petit Verdot, is wonderful in its youth but a ords<br />
some of the greatest drinking pleasures one can fi nd with several years of bottle age.<br />
This o ering spans two decades beginning with the magnifi cent 1990 vintage and features verticals dating back to the rarely seen 1991 in bottles,<br />
magnums, and double magnums. The 2005 vintage marked the 20th anniversary for Ornellaia and for the occasion the estate produced special large<br />
format bottles, several of which are included here. Today we are very happy to celebrate the Ornellaia 25th anniversary with a pre-release o ering of the<br />
2010 vintage. This vintage also marks the fi rst time a 12 liter bottle of Ornellaia has been produced and we are proud to be o ering bottle # 1/10.<br />
All wines were shipped to Sotheby’s via temperature controlled reefer container maintaining ideal conditions. The wines were prepared for shipment at<br />
the estate in Bolgheri and were inspected by Sotheby’s team of specialists in New York.<br />
TENUTA DELL’ORNELLAIA<br />
This is an amazing time for this great Tuscan property. Its wines are recognised as never before as among the best that Italy can produce and they<br />
afford some of the most exciting drinking experiences that can be found anywhere. The almost Margaux-like quality of Ornellaia, with its fruit, breed<br />
and fine texture, marks it as a winner. Many-layered, it unfolds on the palate to a long, lingering finish, a reflection of the complex marine, alluvial<br />
and volcanic soils of this breathtakingly beautiful area. If ever there were bottles of liquid landscape, these are they! Every serious cellar should have<br />
Ornellaia so that glorious vintage comparisons over dinners can bring Tuscan sunshine and light into your home. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />
Ornellaia 1990<br />
Tuscany<br />
Glorious smoky nose - highly original and individual loganberries,<br />
liquorice, smoked blackberry jam! So luscious - this wine gets better<br />
and better. Fabulous. Another recent bottle was really scented and<br />
beautiful on the nose. Great plummy taste. Beautifully ripe and<br />
mature. Damsons on the palate. Melts in the mouth. Juicy and<br />
primed for drinking. In 2008 from double magnum, it was not as<br />
advanced. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Ornellaia 1995<br />
Tuscany<br />
Lot 4: u. 3bn<br />
This was the highest ever production but superb weather married this<br />
with great quality. Lovely fresh, red fruit nose with a real, prolonged<br />
scent. Great fruit and body on the palate. A monument! An utterly<br />
complete wine, so fruity that it explodes on the palate now but will<br />
go any distance you want. Will probably be like redcurrant liqueur<br />
20 years hence. Totally succulent on the finish. In 2011, scented in a<br />
distinctly “Margaux” way. Violetty. Dense, velvety and yet with real<br />
elegance. Juicy and fresh, with an aniseed flavour and a touch of<br />
irony definition on the finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Ornellaia 1997<br />
Tuscany<br />
Lot 6: 1 nicked label<br />
All the spices in the world on the nose and palate, plus a touch of<br />
vanilla. So accessible and winning – it was always this immediacy<br />
that won it so many friends. Utterly delectable taste, backed up by<br />
real structure of lovely ripe tannins. Perfect composition. Gloriously<br />
satisfying. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

6 6 bts (owc)<br />
per lot: $1,600-2,250<br />
Ornellaia 1998<br />
Tuscany<br />
Deep cassis nose of great impact. Lots of blackcurrants on the<br />
palate too. The fruit profile is excellent. Beautifully defined with a<br />
delicious middle palate and juicy acidity. At 9 years old, it is really<br />
tremendous, very impressive and all-enveloping in its flavour. Serena<br />
Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Ornellaia 1999<br />
Tuscany<br />
Pure blueberries nose. So rich and full of glycerol and allure that<br />
the high alcohol is balanced. So round and ripe. A giantess among<br />
Super Tuscans. Coffee bean finish. So beautiful I even guessed the<br />
vintage! We drank it with ravioli filled with young asparagus which<br />
was the perfect foil. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Ornellaia 2000<br />
Tuscany<br />
Glorious, attractive scent, cedary with notes of wild herbs and the<br />
maquis. Beautiful, silky fruit. Pure bliss. This has everything. The<br />
tannins are so melting that it is already accessible. Utterly delectable,<br />
delivering a mouthful of plums. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Ornellaia 2001<br />
Tuscany<br />
This was harvested quite late to obtain phenolic maturity. A real<br />
cassis and black pepper nose. Great, all-enveloping flavour. So<br />
spicy and so beautifully balanced, with a lovely explosion of fruit at<br />
the end. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Lots 15-16: Packed in individual wooden presentation cases<br />
Buttered toast, smoke and brambles on the nose. Great finesse of<br />
texture. So beautifully balanced and elegant, with real persistence.<br />
Medium weight and for medium-term drinking. Serena Sutcliffe,<br />

sweet and ripe. Brilliant. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

LOT 33
Ornellaia 2005<br />
Tuscany<br />
Lots 22-23: 4 slightly scuffed labels, packed in individual presentation<br />
cases<br />
The 20th anniversary Ornellaia and a stunner of a wine. An<br />
astonishing blackberry/brambly nose with huge scents of wild herbs<br />
and roses. All-surrounding. A glorious ‘sweet’, rich taste of melting<br />
appeal. So ripe and soft and yet with backbone, supreme freshness<br />
and a long finish. In bottle, it is difficult to resist at 3 years old but, in<br />
large format, who knows where this luscious Top Tuscan will go?<br />

Beautiful nose, in full exuberant bloom. A touch of rich, damp<br />
earth, almost peat – an element of Haut Brion here! Very juicy and<br />
fresh, completely covering the power and richness. The silkiness is<br />
impressive. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

An incredible, show-stopping blast of cassis greets you on the nose.<br />
The vanillin velvet texture on the palate is enchanting. Crème de<br />
cassis and coffee, smoke and roses. The tannins, and alcohol, are<br />
totally covered by glycerol and opulence. Obviously, I should not be<br />
drinking this in 2012, but I do not regret it! Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Château Mouton Rothschild 2000<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé<br />
Capsules with French tax stamps, Original tissues<br />
Great, almost overpowering nose. Creamy, blackberry, bloomy,<br />
voluptuous. Briary and brambly. Black fruit in abundance, oozing<br />
incredible health and up-front, vivacious beauty. A monolithic but<br />
silky wine that will go down in history. In 2011, a luscious, opulent,<br />
blackcurrant bouquet. Gloriously fresh and incisive. Just screams<br />
healthy fruit at you, with a great Mouton terroir sign-off. Serena<br />

CHATEAU LATOUR<br />
The power and glory of Latour are undisputed. The consistency<br />
of Latour, due to its fabulous gravel soil, great situation near the<br />
Gironde and a succession of inspired winemakers, is unrivaled. It is a<br />
wine that can start slowly and then takes off like a rocket. It is always<br />
profound with many layers of taste, a real reflection of the heart of<br />
Pauillac. Latour is famous for producing impressive wine in more<br />
modest vintages, but it knows how to seize great vintages and make<br />
them monuments. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />
Château Latour 2000<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé<br />
Lot 78: Slightly stained labels, Lot 79: Original tissues<br />

Archetypal Latour that hits the spot. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Château Lafite 2000<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé<br />
Slightly stained labels<br />
Great scent, dominated by loganberries when it was young. Superb,<br />
juicy black fruit on the palate. Such a ripe finish, mouthwatering all<br />
the way through. In 2011, that real, total super-healthy 2000 nose to<br />
it. One now senses the opulence of this wine, with all its layers. Such<br />
a vivid taste of plums. Such fresh acidity – still a baby. This will last<br />
a century if desired, so think two generations on. Serena Sutcliffe,<br />

1 bottle comes from a different importer, 1 stained and scuffed label, 6<br />
slightly stained labels, 1 capsule with French tax stamp<br />
This has always had, from the start, a great rosy bloom to the<br />
bouquet, maybe a reflection of the 1900 when it was young? Violets,<br />
finesse and sheer class. Great freshness on the palate. Blackberry<br />
jam. Great spicy black fruit all through it. Huge tannins that are so<br />
soft and fresh. Luscious redcurrants at the end. In 2011, glorious<br />
woodsmoke and blueberries on the nose. A touch of aniseed on the<br />
finish. Great nobility and breed. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé<br />
The most glorious, ebullient, show-stopping, almost wild nose of red<br />
and black fruit. Phenomenal richness, glycerol and gummy black fruit<br />
on the palate. Showy and flag-waving, aromatic and dense. In 2012,<br />
such a nose of pure breed and so much silk on the palate, with huge<br />
Havana flavours. Will go the distance. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

58% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc. In 2011,<br />
this has a cedary bouquet of great persistence, almost Médocain.<br />
Immensely scented. One senses huge power here. Briary and full of<br />
blueberries. Fleshy and creamy on the palate, with tannin, fruit and<br />
acidity in big doses. The blueberries are so strong – and the overall<br />
effect is so ripe and sweet. Luscious perfection. Serena Sutcliffe,<br />

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé<br />
In 2011, a real, elegant, totally Médocain nose – talk about ‘spirit of<br />
place’! Spicy and heathery. Gloriously rich and ‘tarry’. Great bilberry<br />
fruit with soft ripe tannins at the end – and then the ‘iron’ catches up.<br />
So Gruaud, so Bordeaux, so wonderful, especially with cave-aged<br />
Gruyère. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Scuffed capsules from wooden case dividers, capsules with French tax<br />

Last tasted at a great Imperial dinner in Hong Kong in 2011. Huge,<br />
scented, cedarwood nose. Blackberries and sheer juiciness. Great<br />
tannin, but it is so soft and enveloped in 2000, glycerol-coated. I had<br />
it in bottle too and wrote ‘giant wine’ and, in today’s context, still a<br />
relative bargain for this great quality. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classé<br />
Smoky, plummy nose. Big and a mite “blunt” at 8 years old. In<br />
an adolescent stage, with lots of fruit and structure and a long,<br />
thick-textured finish. Big wine, big future. Impressive, as a result<br />
of Christian Seely’s stricter selection for the “grand vin”. Serena<br />

Tobacco, spices, more complex than 2001 on the nose. Red fruit.<br />
One senses the structure, the depth, the tannins. Incredible sweet<br />
complexity. Like eating a food. Utterly complete. At 8 years old,<br />
incredibly ‘iodé’, rich and full of roses and glycerol. Another bottle<br />

Vintage from 14 September to 28 September. A generous 42 hl/<br />
hectare made. 13.5% alcohol (although they recorded 14.9% in the<br />
Merlot from clay this year). 50% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot.<br />
Tasted in 2010 in Hong Kong from Jeroboam. Black cherries mixed<br />
with a Guerlain scent’s intensity on the nose. Then the violets kick<br />
in. Almost a touch of vanilla on the palate, then glorious chocolatecovered<br />
strawberries. In 2011 from bottle, a warm, spicy leather nose.<br />
Great red fruit liveliness. Just a stunning charmer. In magnum, so<br />
fruity and youthful, with superb energy. Great, luscious plums and<br />
such beautiful definition. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

This vintage has the new form of bottle. Glorious, rich, heady,<br />
healthy nose. So exuberant and vivacious. Wonderful earthy<br />
opulence combined with great breed on the finish. In 2009, rich,<br />
luscious, opulent nose – a touch “Burgundian”. Lovely and rich on<br />
the palate. Lots of glycerol. The tannins are so ripe and soft. Coats<br />
the mouth. Harmony and luscious fruit. In 2011, such a sun-blessed,<br />
aromatic nose. Enormous tannin and fruit. So juicy and very long<br />

Fabulous richness and liquorice opulence. So clean and crisp with<br />
very red fruit. Lovely sweetness at the end. A winner for the future.<br />
At 10 years old this has a great deep colour and a nose and taste that<br />

The nose initially reveals roasted, peaty notes, leading to aromas<br />
of dried apricots, and finally a hint of fresh almonds and orange<br />
blossom. The wine is dense, pure, and as polished and rounded as a<br />
smooth pebble. Sensastions follow on naturally from one to another.<br />
Although the wine introduces a notion of classic balance, the deep,<br />
green aromas of privet gradually give way to a long and surprisingly<br />

LEGENDARY DOM PÉRIGNON DIRECT FROM THE CELLARS IN EPERNAY<br />
Collectors have a unique opportunity to acquire perfectly cellared Dom Pérignon Œnothèque and Rosé Œnothèque from vintages spanning four decades,<br />
beginning with bottles and magnums of the stunning 1966. Other rarities include magnums of 1978, 1982, 1988 and 1990 and the fi rst ever release<br />
of magnums of the 2002 Rosé.<br />
The Œnothèque label indicates that a Dom Pérignon vintage has reached its peak in maturity and it is only the Cellar Master who can determine when<br />
the wine has reached that optimal stage in its evolution. Only then will it be released as an Œnothèque.<br />
To guarantee its excellence, each and every Œnothèque bottle is tasted at disgorging by a Dom Pérignon winemaker.<br />
This small but remarkable parcel was recently shipped from Dom Pérignon’s cellars in Epernay, imported to the United States by Moët Hennessy USA,<br />

Dom Pérignon is the archetypal prestige cuvée Champagne, basking in the name of the creator of its own category, the inspired Benedictine monk.<br />
Its ethereal beauty deepens into magnificent complexity with bottle age, taxing any taster’s vocabulary. The finesse of bubble and very long finish are<br />
signature elements of Dom Pérignon and the brilliance of Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy is evident with every sip. This is a tantalising “taster” of<br />
some of Dom Pérignon’s greatest gems. Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />

Haut Brion is the connoisseur’s First Growth, sumptuous, soft,<br />
elegant and fine, so come-hither you sink into it. The hidden depths<br />
in its velvet folds of flavour are a revelation, with the extraordinary<br />
Cohiba notes leading to a spicy, constantly intriguing taste. With age,<br />
Haut Brion simply melts in the mouth, while in youth it is delicious<br />
before the other Firsts emerge from the chrysalis. This is the classiest,<br />
finest-textured wine from Pessac-Léognan, with its unique, almost<br />
“peaty” flavors. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT BRION<br />
For those of us who spend much of our lives round Bordeaux, the<br />
place and the wines, La Mission Haut Brion has First Growth Status.<br />
It is a given. The prerequisites are all there- terroir, wine-making,<br />
longevity. So is the track-record - unbelievable consistency over<br />
more than a century. Vertical tastings of La Mission are astonishing,<br />
with the great vintages an absolute knock-out and delicious wines<br />
in modest years. In fact, for me, it is the most consistent of all over<br />
the last half century. In blind comparisons with the First Growths, it is<br />
more than their equal in depth, class and complexity.<br />
When the Dillons of Haut Brion bought La Mission in 1983, there<br />
were those who feared that the differences between the two<br />
neighbouring properties might be less marked than before, now that<br />
the same brilliant team was responsible for both châteaux. It was not<br />
a fear I shared! The integrity of the people concerned and, above<br />
all, the pronounced, and fascinating, difference in taste between the<br />
two wines is as dramatic as ever. One of the great comparisons in the<br />
wine world is that between La Mission and Haut Brion - the texture<br />
alone is amazingly different, with La Mission always denser and<br />
‘thicker’ than Haut Brion. Try it and see! SS.<br />
Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1999<br />
Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé<br />
Immensely scented loganberries on the nose. Strongly woodsmoky<br />
on the palate. A real cassis heart to it, in La Mission’s way. Finegrained.<br />
A touch of chocolate on the finish. So approachable.<br />
Another bottle had a lovely woodsmoke and violets scent and a<br />
glorious brambly, loganberries taste. Great finesse of texture. So it<br />
is gloriously consistent. Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />

58% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc. In 2011,<br />

Immensely scented. One senses huge power here. Briary and full of<br />
blueberries. Fleshy and creamy on the palate, with tannin, fruit and<br />
acidity in big doses. The blueberries are so strong – and the overall<br />
effect is so ripe and sweet. Luscious perfection. Serena Sutcliffe,<br />

CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT BRION
DRY WHITE BORDEAUX<br />
HAUT BRION BLANC & LAVILLE HAUT BRION<br />
I am passionate about top white Graves and Haut Brion Blanc<br />
and Laville Haut Brion represent the pinnacle of the genre.<br />
These are phenomenally fascinating wines, unlike anything else<br />
in the vinous world and totally individual. The magic mixture of<br />
Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc is utterly intriguing, a million miles<br />
from Chardonnay although, perhaps unexpectedly, these wines<br />
have the weight and the vinosity of Montrachet. However, that is<br />
the only area where the wines meet! The signature mineral and<br />
citrus, floral and peach, wax and petrol scents and flavours of Haut<br />
Brion Blanc and Laville Haut Brion are paradise for addicts like<br />
me. I will happily sip them on their own, but they are formidable<br />
with sashimi. Both Haut Brion Blanc and Laville Haut Brion age<br />
with the utmost style and distinction. Well, in principle they do,<br />
although they never seem to last the course in our cellar! Serena<br />
Sutcliffe, MW<br />
Château Haut Brion Blanc 1999<br />
Pessac-Léognan (Graves)<br />
Heavenly floral/lanolin/lime nose. Blossom and spice. Allspice<br />
perhaps. So immensely rich and orangey and so full of glycerol.<br />
Superb ginger elements. They say it is “almost perfect”. They are<br />
wrong - it is flawless. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

YGREC<br />
For many, Ygrec is a bit of a mystery, partly because there is very little of it about. However, it is also something of a mysterious wine, even to itself, as<br />
it starts in one way and finishes in another. Made from both Sauvignon and Sémillon, but not the most luscious of the latter, it has a bouquet that is<br />
reminiscent of Yquem, but then you discover all the grapefruit, lemongrass and tropicality on the palate, a wine that is dry, but rich. It can be marvellous<br />
with Thai food, terrines or tandoori tastes - be adventurous and you will be rewarded! Matching Ygrec with food is always fascinating. My latest ploy<br />
has been to serve it with smoked eel which is a really exciting contrast. And Ygrec is a natural with ‘fusion food’, effortlessly complementing a huge<br />
range of Asian flavours and textures. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

CHATEAU D’YQUEM<br />
Experiencing Yquem is a journey into flawless excellence, into the<br />
heart of endless layers of richness, profundity and exotic flavours.<br />
Tasting Yquem is awe-inspiring, both for its beauty and also<br />
because of the constant awareness that this degree of opulence and<br />
concentration can only be achieved at the cost of immense skill,<br />
care and financial sacrifice. Making Sauternes, with its elements of<br />
botrytis and extreme ripeness, forever at the mercy of the weather, is<br />
always a fiendish pursuit, but making Yquem goes into new realms of<br />
endeavour - it is a world unto itself. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

EXTREMELY RARE <strong>AND</strong> PERFECTLY STORED KRUG<br />
This consignment features four different vintages of Krug Clos du Mesnil, including two bottles of 1990 and six different vintages of Krug Collection,<br />
including rare magnums of 1959 and 1971. All wines were purchased either at retail on first release or directly from the Krug family in France. They have<br />

CHAMPAGNE<br />
KRUG<br />
Few great wine collectors, even if they concentrate on red wines,<br />
bypass Krug Champagne. Its power and sheer vinosity appeal to a<br />
connoisseur of the greatest Bordeaux and Burgundy, and collectors<br />
have a tendency to preface their tastings and dinners with a glass of<br />
this majestic Reims “institution”. Some even go so far as to organize<br />
vertical tastings of Krug in its own right, recognizing the unique<br />
properties of this Champagne in terms of development and maturity.<br />
Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />
KRUG COLLECTION<br />
A very limited number of bottles of each Krug Vintage are kept<br />
under ideal conditions in the Krug cellars. Tasted and appraised,<br />

Krug Collection 1971<br />
Champagne<br />
Excellent appearance, magnum #179<br />
A cool and sunny September gave an extremely small, precious<br />
crop - 3,500 kgs. per hectare on average. There were nineteen<br />
different growths in the 1971 and the blend was 47% Pinot Noir,<br />
14% Pinot Meunier and 39% Chardonnay. The result is aristocratic,<br />
stylish and mega complex. Krug 1971 was a star from the start and<br />
continues to amaze. One of the best bouquets you will encounter in<br />
any Champagne and a taste of honeycake and pure fruit freshness.<br />

satiny texture. Nougatine with lemon zest and liquid heather liqueur.<br />
Almonds and marzipan at the end. I think you can tell from all this<br />
that I consider this 1973 a chef d’oeuvre, absolutely fascinating in all<br />
its facets and rivetingly lovely. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

WHITE BURGUNDY<br />
DOMAINE JEAN-FRANCOIS COCHE-DURY<br />
It is difficult to extract much information from the brilliant Jean-<br />
François Coche, but few would disagree that he is Burgundy’s white<br />
wine magician. At the head of his 11.5 hectare domain since 1973,<br />
he knows exactly what he is doing, preferring massal selection to<br />
clones, pruning short to green-harvesting, wild to selected yeasts and<br />
varying doses of new oak depending on the wine and the vintage.<br />
There is no filtration – but lots of thought and reflection. The result<br />
are wines of such clarity and style, far from obvious, fat Côte de<br />
Beaune examples. Instead, you see minerality and perfect balancing<br />
acidity which gives the wines great longevity, even at the most<br />
modest level. The power and the glory lie in wait for you. Serena<br />

DOMAINE LEFLAIVE<br />
This is a great, if not the great, old family domaine for white<br />
Burgundy. It demonstrates what a white wine can be, given the<br />
right soil, the right vines and the right combination of tradition and<br />
sense of inquiry. It’s also the springboard for the whole region’s<br />
move towards organic grape farming. The domaine is managed by<br />
Anne-Claude Leflaive, a worthy successor to the legendary Vincent<br />
Leflaive who died in 1993 (and I pay tribute to his skill, integrity, and<br />
unmatched joie de vivre). Anne-Claude began the conversion to<br />
biodynamics, complete by 1998, and worked with Pierre Morey, her<br />
winemaker until recently. The wines are bottled after about eighteen<br />
months following an élevage in oak pièces and small stainless steel<br />
vats. Let yourself be seduced by their honeyed smoothness - if you<br />
have not already succumbed to the heady bouquet. I have been both<br />
thrilled and uplifted by countless bottles, in all their aristocratic and<br />
multi-dimensional glory. These are wines that have highlights and<br />
energy. Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />

Packed in individual presentation cases<br />
Last tasted from magnum. 50% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay.<br />
Smoky cashew nuts on the nose. Almost a touch of beer! That must<br />
be the malty element. Then the Pinot Noir tends to kick in, finally<br />
resembling a Côte de Nuits. A lot of vinosity. A real ‘strawberry<br />
bowl’ taste. So silky - a remarkable texture. So alluring. Figs and<br />
candied oranges at the end. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Beautiful, noble, sweet violets and raspberry nose. Damp earth and<br />
a touch of cinnamon. Great, huge, “woody” flavour. In full, rosy<br />
bloom. Very black fruit aftertaste. Cassis and blackberries. Big<br />
tannic structure. Then, from magnum in 2009. Deep, but very<br />
bright, crimson colour. The sheer breadth and dimension of the<br />
bouquet is (almost) indescribable. Raspberries, roses, cassis and<br />
redcurrants. Heady. Dramatic, violetty, sweet taste. So intense and<br />
with such a concentrated core to it. Amazing blackcurrant finish.<br />
Flawless. A liqueur-like texture. Combines being ethereal with<br />
being rich. Much later, in the almost empty glass, Cognac/vanilla/<br />
eau de vie! Stupendous. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD<br />
Mouton, as it is affectionately known by all its devotees, is the most<br />
opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge<br />
personalities that have headed the Château since 1920, Baron<br />
Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The great cassis<br />
depths of this wine seduce everyone who appreciates the finest<br />
Bordeaux. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and<br />
powerful. Philippe Dhalluin, Mouton’s talented Technical Director,<br />
has been at the Château since the harvest of 2003 and the stunning<br />
beauty of the wines has been further strengthened by meticulous<br />
attention to detail in vineyard and cellar. Many of my own greatest<br />
wine drinking experiences revolve around Mouton throughout this<br />
century and the last. Magnificent Mouton is a sensory photo on the<br />
mind that stays with one for life. Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />

Growths, its neo-classical elegance reflected in the sheer aristocratic<br />
bearing of the wines. The superb scent of Margaux fascinates - so<br />
alluring, so complex and so giving. The Mentzelopoulos régime<br />
wines are unerringly consistent in quality, often topping the charts<br />
against the toughest opposition. There is weight and depth, added<br />
to the breed and class that come from this fabulous terroir. Modern<br />
vintages are giants, brilliant creations of technical director, Paul<br />
Pontallier, exuding richness and rewarding the drinker with undying<br />
memories. Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />

Voluptuous, classic Margaux on the nose. So glossy, so cedary, with<br />

Original tissues<br />
57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot. In<br />
Hong Kong from Jeroboam in 2010, a beautiful, ‘scented garden’,<br />
Lafite bouquet. Lovely chocolatey taste. Deeply intense, aided by<br />
the Jero effect. In 2011, supper at home, still in its infancy, all silky,<br />
smoky black fruit, with enormous power behind it. In 2012, from<br />
magnum in Vienna, incredibly spicy nose. Rich, liqueurish, intense,<br />
opulent, with wild herbs and a coffee finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

RED BORDEAUX<br />
CHATEAU LAFITE<br />
Throughout the centuries, Lafite has proved that this is a wine that<br />
ages in the most ethereal way. Lafite combines elegance, breed<br />
and scent with sustained power, a miracle of balance and nobility.<br />
The extraordinary terroir and position in Pauillac have always been<br />
matched by the Rothschilds’ sense of quality and vision, resulting in a<br />
wine that has mythical status. Continuity is vital in producing a great<br />
wine and the wine-making brilliance of Charles Chevallier from the<br />
1990s to the present day has added extra lustre to this exceptional<br />
liquid, with the fame of the property spreading further throughout<br />
the world.<br />
When serving Lafite, decant it well in advance of drinking as its<br />
bouquet and taste amplify to multi-faceted dimensions on contact<br />
with the air. At the Château itself, they double decant, back into<br />
the original bottle with its unchanging, instantly recognisable label.<br />
Lafite matures slowly, developing gloriously with bottle age, as<br />
historic tastings have shown. Collect Lafite for yourself and watch it<br />
grow! Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />
Château Lafite 1998<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé<br />
1 nicked label<br />
My top Left Bank wine of the vintage. Spicy breed all the way<br />
through, with a touch of raspberries. Really tempting black fruit<br />
too and a lovely juicy finish. From Imperial in 2010, this was just so<br />
young and concentrated. In bottle, it is aristocratic and oozing allure.<br />

Great scent, dominated by loganberries when it was young. Superb,<br />
juicy black fruit on the palate. Such a ripe finish, mouthwatering all<br />
the way through. In 2011, that real, total super-healthy 2000 nose to<br />
it. One now senses the opulence of this wine, with all its layers. Such<br />
a vivid taste of plums. Such fresh acidity – still a baby. This will last<br />
a century if desired, so think two generations on. Serena Sutcliffe,<br />

CHATEAU D’YQUEM<br />
Experiencing Yquem is a journey into flawless excellence, into the<br />
heart of endless layers of richness, profundity and exotic flavours.<br />
Tasting Yquem is awe-inspiring, both for its beauty and also<br />
because of the constant awareness that this degree of opulence and<br />
concentration can only be achieved at the cost of immense skill,<br />
care and financial sacrifice. Making Sauternes, with its elements of<br />
botrytis and extreme ripeness, forever at the mercy of the weather, is<br />
always a fiendish pursuit, but making Yquem goes into new realms of<br />
endeavour - it is a world unto itself. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />
Château d’Yquem 1990<br />
Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé<br />
u. 2bn, 1 stained label, 3 slightly scuffed labels, 3 slightly stained labels<br />
At sweet sixteen, and from Jeroboam, this was totally ‘on song’,<br />
luscious, all-enveloping and super-opulent. Then there was a Double<br />
Magnum, with its incredible nose of peaches with a taste of peach<br />
kernels, and I wondered if the large formats are even better than<br />
the bottles in 1990. This was until my last bottle in 2011, which had<br />
such finesse in spite of a bouquet almost enveloped in sugar and a<br />
fantastic fruit bowl flavour. There are echoes of 1929 here. Serena<br />

GIUSEPPE QUINTARELLI<br />
The wines of Giuseppe Quintarelli are some of the most sought<br />
after in the world. A traditionalist but also a perfectionist, Quintarelli<br />
has created the standard for which all Veneto reds are judged.<br />
His legendary Amarone, Recioto, and Alzero follow the practices<br />
and extraordinarily detailed standards enacted by his father and<br />
grandfather before him. Extended cask maturation and rigorous<br />
grape selection lead to immense complexity of flavor and richness<br />
and allow for long term aging before their release.<br />

ROCCHE DEI MANZONI<br />
An historic site first established in the 18th century and located in the<br />
Manzoni Soprana area of Monforte d’Alba, Rocche dei Manzoni was<br />
purchased by Valentino Migliorini in 1974, and is now under the sole<br />
direction of his son Rodolfo. The estate’s Barolos are made in a sleek,<br />
modern style, with 100% new French oak maturation. The Santo<br />
Stefano di Perno vineyard is the jewel in the crown of Rocche dei<br />
Manzoni’s single-vineyard Barolos; the others being the Vigna d’la<br />

the acidity was very high this year. It was grapefruit botrytis on the<br />

CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD<br />
Mouton, as it is affectionately known by all its devotees, is the most<br />
opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge<br />
personalities that have headed the Château since 1920, Baron<br />
Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The great cassis<br />
depths of this wine seduce everyone who appreciates the finest<br />
Bordeaux. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and<br />
powerful. Philippe Dhalluin, Mouton’s talented Technical Director,<br />
has been at the Château since the harvest of 2003 and the stunning<br />
beauty of the wines has been further strengthened by meticulous<br />
attention to detail in vineyard and cellar. Many of my own greatest<br />
wine drinking experiences revolve around Mouton throughout this<br />
century and the last. Magnificent Mouton is a sensory photo on the<br />
mind that stays with one for life. Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />

CHATEAU LATOUR<br />
The power and glory of Latour are undisputed. The consistency<br />
of Latour, due to its fabulous gravel soil, great situation near the<br />
Gironde and a succession of inspired winemakers, is unrivaled. It is a<br />
wine that can start slowly and then takes off like a rocket. It is always<br />
profound with many layers of taste, a real reflection of the heart of<br />
Pauillac. Latour is famous for producing impressive wine in more<br />
modest vintages, but it knows how to seize great vintages and make<br />
them monuments. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

treat. In 2011, from bottle, this was just so incisive and youthful,<br />
dense and powerful. And, post-sale in New York in 2011, from<br />
double magnum, an immensely spicy, aromatic bouquet leads to<br />
that thick, enveloping, total succulence of Latour 1982. So sweet and<br />

perception. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

LES FORTS DE LATOUR<br />
Les Forts de Latour is produced from the younger vines of less<br />
than 12 years from the Grand Enclos and from the grapes grown<br />
on three plots outside the Grand Enclos. In addition, depending<br />
on the quality of the vintage, certain vats of le Grand Vin itself may<br />
also be included in the blend of Les Forts. The wine is aged in<br />
50% new barrels and 50% barrels of one vintage. The result is a<br />
fabulous reflection of Château Latour itself, but in a form that makes<br />
it delicious to drink before you dare open a bottle of its Big Brother!<br />

CHATEAU LAFITE<br />
Throughout the centuries, Lafite has proved that this is a wine that<br />
ages in the most ethereal way. Lafite combines elegance, breed<br />
and scent with sustained power, a miracle of balance and nobility.<br />
The extraordinary terroir and position in Pauillac have always been<br />
matched by the Rothschilds’ sense of quality and vision, resulting in a<br />
wine that has mythical status. Continuity is vital in producing a great<br />
wine and the wine-making brilliance of Charles Chevallier from the<br />
1990s to the present day has added extra lustre to this exceptional<br />
liquid, with the fame of the property spreading further throughout<br />
the world.<br />
When serving Lafite, decant it well in advance of drinking as its<br />
bouquet and taste amplify to multi-faceted dimensions on contact<br />
with the air. At the Château itself, they double decant, back into<br />
the original bottle with its unchanging, instantly recognisable label.<br />
Lafite matures slowly, developing gloriously with bottle age, as<br />
historic tastings have shown. Collect Lafite for yourself and watch<br />
it grow! SS.<br />

amazing deep colour. Rich, intoxicating almost ‘treacley’ bouquet.<br />
Herbs, spices and caramelised orange. So sweet, rich and gentle<br />
on the palate. A terrific mocha finish. This is the sheer elegance<br />
of Lafite plus intensity – we raced through the bottle. Lafite 1961<br />
remains something of an enigma as there is variation, but we really<br />
struck lucky here. In 2009, a bottle elsewhere was very scented, but<br />
lighter than our last bottle at home. Classy, sweet middle and finish.<br />
Elegant and delicate, gentle and tempting – but not the power this<br />
time. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Château Lafite 1966<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé<br />
u. bn, stained, soiled, torn and partially missing label, excellent color and<br />
clarity, owc has damaged lid<br />
Last tasted from Imperial in 2009 and an absolute wow. The<br />
bouquet was all classic Pauillac spice and the taste was lovely, sweet<br />
and fat – the Imperial seemed to have given it flesh and glycerol.<br />
Masses of cassis fruit and very more-ish. Melted in the mouth.<br />
Easily my best ever Lafite 1966. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

65% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. In 2010, there was almost<br />
a smoky nose. It is just so youthful, even haunting in its flavours, with<br />
a finish that borders on the eternal. Two years later and, after two<br />
hours in the decanter, plump, aromatic and ultra elegant. Serena<br />

Slightly scuffed capsules, otherwise excellent appearance<br />
The middle of a stunning trio of Lafites and my absolute favourite.<br />
67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot. In 2012, extremely scented<br />
nose of great class and breed. Smoky too. Great ‘family’ similarity<br />
with the 1988. Almost minty/chocolatey in flavour. A lovely sweet,<br />
ripe finish. I think this will go on for ever. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

This is a true cigar-box nose - the acme of this individual character<br />
of La Mission in particular, and Pessac-Léognan in general.<br />
Extraordinary rich, melting, mouth-enveloping with cloves and all the<br />
damp undergrowth of a Domaine de la Romanée-Conti wine - plus<br />
Cohibas! A very great experience and a stupendous wine. Serena<br />

Château Haut-Brion 1961 (1 bt)<br />
u. bn, damaged, fragile and partially missing label with vintage illegible,<br />

The most extraordinary complex nose of spice, flowers and<br />
woodsmoke in an empty fireplace. Amazing liqueur texture - Haut<br />
Brion is thicker than other wines. Just fireworks on the palate. A<br />
magnum emphasised the Havana and violets hedonistic elements<br />
- simply sumptuous. So utterly luscious you could almost eat it!<br />

DIAMOND CREEK<br />
When, in 1968, the late Al Brounstein bought 70 acres of land on<br />
Diamond Mountain, in the northern Mayacamas Range of Napa, he<br />
noticed three distinctly different soil types as well as a diversity of<br />
exposure to the sun. There is also a tiny area round the Lake which, in<br />
some years, is made separately as Lake.<br />
A thumbnail sketch of each vineyard gives an idea of the scale of<br />
things.<br />
Red Rock Terrace, 7 acres with reddish-brown soil.<br />
Gravelly Meadow, 5 acres with gravel, sand soil and a cooler climate.<br />
Volcanic Hill, 8 acres of south-facing hillside vineyard with white<br />
volcanic ash.<br />
Lake, a 3/4 acre vineyard with gravel, sand soil and the coolest<br />
microclimate- usually blended into Gravelly Meadow, except in<br />
outstanding years.<br />
Production lies between 2500 and 3500 cases a year, one reason for<br />
Diamond Creek’s comparatively rare appearance at auction - another<br />
reason is that perhaps wine lovers actually drink the stuff! One can<br />
see why. Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />

Mature colour. A great nose of prunes, spices, huge character and<br />
“presence”. Liquorice, with sweet, gummy definition. Some sweet<br />
aniseed. A lovely sweet “leather” taste. Now has a pruney finish,<br />
with sweet, soft cinnamon at the end. Really mocha as it lingers on<br />
the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Nose of liquorice. Superb supple richness on the palate. Lovely<br />

right now. Last tasted from magnum. This is now so gentle with so<br />
much redcurrant flavour. We had it with venison and it was a perfect<br />

Château d’Yquem 1990<br />
Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé<br />
Slightly soiled and slightly damp stained label, scuffed capsule, slightly<br />

At sweet sixteen, and from Jeroboam, this was totally ‘on song’,<br />
luscious, all-enveloping and super-opulent. Then there was a Double<br />
Magnum, with its incredible nose of peaches with a taste of peach<br />
kernels, and I wondered if the large formats are even better than<br />
the bottles in 1990. This was until my last bottle in 2011, which had<br />
such finesse in spite of a bouquet almost enveloped in sugar and a<br />
fantastic fruit bowl flavour. There are echoes of 1929 here. Serena<br />

This has always been a wonderful wine but, in 2011, a bottle drunk<br />
at home was stunning – great old Claret bliss, but old Claret stored<br />
since virtual inception in a cold British cellar (our own!). Very good<br />
colour, just going brown/grey at the rim. Smoky, briary red cherries<br />
on the nose. Total class of a great vintage plus the complexity<br />
of years. Scented redcurrants. Tertiary fruit. What an impact<br />
of fabulous Bordeaux mature fruit on the palate, all roses and<br />
woodsmoke, with a big, definite, 1966 sign-off. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

u. 2ts, damp stained and scuffed labels, 1 nicked label, 1 slightly<br />

A generous 40 hl/hectare was made. The vintage took place from<br />
24 September to 6 October. 12% alcohol. I was amazed at how<br />
fresh this still was on the nose at 37 years old. It remains a fine<br />
1970, although there is considerable bottle variation due to bottling<br />
practices at the time. It is pretty solid, with that Cheval sweet finish.<br />
It is time to find any remaining bottles in your cellar. Serena Sutcliffe,<br />

CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD<br />
Mouton, as it is affectionately known by all its devotees, is the most<br />
opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge<br />
personalities that have headed the Château since 1920, Baron<br />
Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The great cassis<br />
depths of this wine seduce everyone who appreciates the finest<br />
Bordeaux. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and<br />
powerful. Philippe Dhalluin, Mouton’s talented Technical Director,<br />
has been at the Château since the harvest of 2003 and the stunning<br />
beauty of the wines has been further strengthened by meticulous<br />
attention to detail in vineyard and cellar. Many of my own greatest<br />
wine drinking experiences revolve around Mouton throughout this<br />
century and the last. Magnificent Mouton is a sensory photo on the<br />
mind that stays with one for life. SS.<br />

Huge black fruit intensity and density, with coffee beans at the end.<br />

u. 1bn, 3 slightly scuffed and 1 nicked labels, 1 nicked capsule, import<br />
labels partially overlap bottom edge of main labels<br />
Spicy, mature nose, with plums and cloves. Chocolate in the middle.<br />
Elegance rather than power - seize it now. But, more recently, a<br />
splendid bottle outdid previous examples. An amazing chocolate<br />
explosion of flavour. Wonderful wine. So rich and opulent, whereas<br />
normally in 1986 the Right Bank tends to be a mite thin. On this<br />
evidence, a knock-out. Again, in 2010, still with a great colour and a<br />
terrifically chocolate bouquet. Full of aromatics. Utterly coats the<br />
mouth with glycerol but also with great finesse of texture. Serena<br />

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé<br />
Excellent appearance<br />
In 2011, an exhilarating, magic bouquet of warm spices, undergrowth<br />
and heather. Glorious leather and cigars on the palate – absolutely<br />
gorgeous. Velvet tannins. Lovely, mature, elegant and with so much<br />
vibrant sweet fruit. This wine will always be one of my favourites, the<br />
one I choose when offered the run of anyone’s cellar, including my<br />
own, where it has almost run out! Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

u. 6bn, 2 slightly scuffed and 1 nicked labels, 1 nicked capsule<br />
The most glorious honied mayblossom nose. Heavenly orange<br />
zest flavour. So rounded, so rich, so tropically luscious. I think this<br />
has become even more awesome with time. I simply could not<br />
put it down! It can be tarry on the nose, with bitter orange zests.<br />
Tremendous grapefruit lusciousness on the palate - now one sees<br />
why the late Jean-Pierre Moueix, a great connoisseur of Yquem,<br />
compared it with the 1937. Pure beauty as it develops in the glass.<br />

Château Mouton Rothschild 1995<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé<br />
3 slightly scuffed labels<br />
Lovely, sleek, boysenberries bouquet, turning to cherry liqueur.<br />
Coffee, loganberries and sheer, bouncy health on the palate. A<br />
touch of cherries on the finish. Very glowing. Last tasted in 2010<br />
in Hong Kong from Jeroboam. Wonderfully expressive, ‘out there’<br />
bouquet. This is all blackcurrant berries. Beautifully structured and<br />
composed on the palate. Superb juiciness fills the mouth. Serena<br />

Château Mouton Rothschild 1999<br />
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé<br />
Import labels partially overlap bottom edge of main labels, 1 nicked and<br />
1 slightly scuffed labels<br />
Lovely, warm, generous nose. Soft, spicy and so easy on the palate,<br />
with so much more fruit than most 1999s. This is made to be drunk<br />
from its tenth birthday. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />
439 6 bts (sc)<br />
per lot: $1,000-1,500<br />
Château Margaux 1989<br />
Margaux, 1er Cru Classé<br />
Scuffed and stained label, slightly raised cork, sign of seepage<br />
Wine gums, leather and liquorice on the nose. Immensely cinnamon<br />
bouquet and cinnamon stick flavour. Soft, open, roasted taste. So<br />
different from the 1990 in spite of similar weather conditions. Almost<br />
sandalwood. So sweet and seductive. Melted in the mouth at 20<br />
years old. Tasted in 2010 in Hong Kong from Imperial. Lovely<br />
smoky cassis nose. Spice and liquorice on the palate. Extraordinary<br />
definition and heathery tastes. Big wine in a big format. In 2011<br />
in bottle, it is beautifully composed and with deep impact. Serena<br />

Château Margaux 1996<br />
Margaux, 1er Cru Classé<br />
7 slightly scuffed labels<br />
Immensely intense, aromatic nose of great complexity and<br />
concentration. You go right to the heart of it with one sniff. Multilayered<br />
and dimensional. Pure class. Totally focussed. The Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon has real nobility in this vintage. Massive berry density on<br />
the palate. Majestic Margaux. Spiced plum liqueur on the finish.<br />

Château Haut-Brion 1999<br />
Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé<br />
Lot 443: 1 slightly scuffed label<br />
Really classy, breedy nose. Great “pepperminty” taste. The real Haut<br />
Brion finesse of texture on the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1989<br />
Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classé<br />
2 damp stained, 3 scuffed and 2 nicked labels<br />
Such a classy nose of real breed and ripeness. Such freshness,<br />
with huge fruit and fat covering the tannic structure. Very Merlot<br />
finish. Superb. It is so exotic but is it classic? And does that matter?!<br />
Recently, a hot, melting nose, with the strong vintage character<br />
overriding the Pichon Lalande character. Sweet and pure coffee and<br />
cocoa on the palate. Coffee beans plus all the oriental spices. So full<br />
of texture you can eat it. Recently, luscious damsons nose. Vanillin<br />
and cedarwood. Very soft and supple. Serena Sutcliffe, MW.<br />

Château Palmer 1989<br />
Cantenac (Margaux), 3ème Cru Classé<br />
Scuffed label<br />
Last tasted from Jeroboam and incredibly young in this format. So<br />
rich and full of spices and vanilla. Beautiful plummy nose. Smoky.<br />
Quite a pruney finish – mocha and cinnamon. Melts in the mouth.<br />
Ready. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Château Léoville Lascases 1996<br />
St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé<br />
10 slightly scuffed, 2 nicked and 1 slightly stained labels<br />
50 hl/ha. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 16% Cabernet<br />
Franc. The year that Jean-Hubert Delon took responsibility for the<br />
wine. Red brick colour. Great refinement and elegance on the nose,<br />
with a nice spicy character. Very long flavour. Classic Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon style. Not overly rich, but very refined, pure and elegant.<br />
This can continue to improve over many years. Last tasted from<br />
an Imperial in Hong Kong in 2010. Spicy, aromatic, very Médocain<br />
nose. Woodlands and cherries. Cherry jam fruit on the palate. So<br />
fresh and juicy, maybe even more so in this format. Serena Sutcliffe,<br />

so aristocratic, so plush. This is stunning wine with unforgettable<br />
highlights. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<br />

LOCATION, STORAGE <strong>AND</strong><br />
DELIVERY OF <strong>WINES</strong><br />
General Delivery Once payment has been<br />
received by Sotheby’s and the Release Form<br />
has been issued to Sotheby’s Wine, the wines<br />
may be delivered according to the instructions<br />
provided by the purchaser on the Sotheby’s<br />
Wine Delivery and Collection Instructions<br />
Form. Shipping by commercial means,<br />
particularly of older wines, can be very risky<br />
and is at the buyer’s risk.<br />
Please note that Sotheby’s does not ship<br />
wine to purchasers. Sotheby’s will forward to<br />
Sotheby’s Wine all delivery and collection<br />
requests received from purchasers. On behalf<br />
of the purchaser, Sotheby’s Wine will arrange<br />
shipping or schedule a collection, subject to<br />
applicable law. Sotheby’s Wine will assess a<br />
repacking fee of $15.00 per case (or part case)<br />
of 750ml bottles. All shipping and insurance<br />
costs and expenses must be pre-paid. Service<br />
charges on shipments will not exceed 10%.<br />
A lot or invoice can only be delivered to one<br />
address (it is not possible to split a lot or invoice<br />
for delivery to more than one address).<br />
Delivery within the United States Please<br />
be advised that most states regulate the<br />
shipment of wine into their state. We urge<br />
you to investigate your state’s regulations<br />
before bidding or arranging for shipment of<br />
wine into your state. Bidders are also reminded<br />
that various states impose limitations on the<br />
quantity of alcoholic beverages which may<br />
be purchased and brought into its jurisdiction<br />
by a purchaser from another state. Certain<br />
states do not permit any direct shipments<br />
of alcoholic beverages while other states<br />
require the purchaser, a consignor, shipper<br />
or other entity to possess certain licenses or<br />
permits. Neither Sotheby’s nor Sotheby’s<br />
Wine shall as a condition to sale assume<br />
any obligation nor bear any responsibility<br />
whatsoever for applying for or obtaining any<br />
permits or licenses. Therefore, all bidders are<br />
strongly advised to investigate the specific<br />
requirements to determine the manner in<br />
which alcoholic beverages shall be brought<br />
into their state so as to comply with all local<br />
regulations. Sotheby’s Wine and Sotheby’s<br />
make no representation to the legal rights of<br />
anyone to ship or import alcoholic beverages<br />
into any state. Wines may be sold and<br />
delivered only to persons who are 21 years old.<br />
Sotheby’s Wine is unable to ship wine<br />
to Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas,<br />
Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana,<br />
Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,<br />
Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, North<br />
Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South<br />
Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,<br />
Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. Buyers from<br />
these states are responsible for selecting<br />
an appropriate carrier to deliver their wine.<br />
Sotheby’s Wine, on behalf of the buyer, will<br />
follow the buyer’s instructions in helping to<br />
arrange the collection of the wine by the carrier<br />
selected by the buyer, in collecting shipping<br />
and insurance charges from the buyers and<br />
transferring those payments to the carriers.<br />
Sotheby’s Wine is not responsible for any<br />
damage or loss in shipping. For all wines that<br />
are collected from Sotheby’s Wine, all lots are<br />
sold in New York State and title passes to the<br />
buyer in New York State. All sales are subject<br />
to applicable taxes. In order for Sotheby’s<br />
Wine to release wines for collection, they must<br />
receive a written waiver acknowledging the<br />
buyer’s responsibility for the shipment.<br />
For shipments to all other states, Sotheby’s<br />
Wine, on behalf of the purchaser, will either<br />
ship directly or arrange shipping subject to<br />
applicable law. Since each state makes its own<br />
regulations, which are subject to change, the<br />
shipping method, timeframe and costs are<br />

Parcels/Options A parcel is a group of lots of the same type and<br />
quantity of wine. There may be some discrepancies between the<br />
di erent lots in a parcel with respect to level, condition or otherwise, and<br />
each buyer should refer to the catalogue description for more detailed<br />
information. At the auctioneer’s discretion, the successful bidder of<br />
the fi rst lot in a parcel shall have the option, but not the obligation, to<br />
purchase in consecutive order one or more of the remaining lots in the<br />
CAUTIONARY NOTES<br />
GLOSSARY OF ABBREVIATIONS<br />
parcel, each at the same successful bid price as the fi rst lot. If any lots<br />
in the parcel are not purchased, the auctioneer will open the bidding on<br />
the next unsold lot in the parcel and the successful bidder of that lot shall<br />
have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase in consecutive order<br />
one or more, if any, of the remaining lots in the parcel, each at the newly<br />
established successful bid price.<br />
1. Whilst we do all that is possible to indicate accurately the levels of older wines, such levels may change between cataloguing and sales.<br />
This may be caused by the ageing of the cork or by a change in the temperature of the storage conditions or the shipment of the wine.<br />
2. There is a risk of cork failure in old wines which must be taken into account by the potential buyer.<br />
3. Neither Sotheby’s Wine nor Sotheby’s will entertain any price negotiation or credit after the delivery is made and returns will not be accepted.<br />
4. Under no circumstances will substitutes be provided by Sotheby’s; for example in case of breakage, or error of description.<br />
5. Whilst we make every e ort to accurately describe label condition, we do not comment on either back labels or importer labels.<br />

BURGUNDY<br />
ULLAGES (LEVEL OF WINE)<br />
For Bordeaux, Port and other wines in bottles with defi ned shoulders the ullage/level is<br />
shown, if relevant, by its relevant position in the bottle. Our interpretations are as follows:<br />
u. - ullage/ullages (levels)<br />
n. - within neck; the normal level of young wines<br />
bn. - bottom neck; completely acceptable for any age of wine<br />
vts. - very top shoulder; completely acceptable for any age of wine<br />
ts. - top shoulder; usual level for wines over 15 years old<br />
hs. - high shoulder; typical reduction through the cork, usually no problem<br />
ms. - mid shoulder; usually some deterioration of the cork and therefore some variation<br />
Example: (u. 3hs) means 3 bottles ullaged to high shoulder.<br />
For Burgundy, German and other wines in bottles with sloping necks the ullage is shown<br />
in centimetres, measured from the base of the cork.<br />

The above table is a guide to the liters of wine per bottle size. Where relevant the fi gures have been taken from the EEC<br />
prescribed literage for light still wine, sparkling wine and liqueur wine. The di erent categories have separate implementation dates<br />
which, when combined with past variances in bottling quantities of some bottle sizes, means that this should be treated purely as a guide.<br />
Should you require the literage capacity of the wine in any lot, please contact the wine department.<br />
* up to 1978 Jeroboams were generally bottled in 4.5 liter bottles rather than 5 liter bottles.
CONDITIONS OF SALE<br />
The following Conditions of Sale<br />
are 72nd and York Inc. (“Sotheby’s<br />
Wine”), Sotheby’s, Inc. (“Sotheby’s”)<br />
and the Consignor’s entire agreement<br />
with the purchaser relative to the property<br />
listed in this catalogue.<br />
The Conditions of Sale, the glossary,<br />
if any, and all other contents of this<br />
catalogue are subject to amendment<br />
by Sotheby’s Wine and Sotheby’s<br />
by the posting of notices or by oral<br />
announcements made during the sale.<br />
The property will be o ered for sale<br />
by Sotheby’s Wine as agent for the<br />
Consignor, unless the catalogue indicates<br />
otherwise.<br />
By participating in any sale, you<br />
acknowledge that you are bound by<br />
these terms and conditions.<br />
1. Except for the limited warranty<br />
contained in paragraph 2, all property<br />
is sold “AS IS” without any representations<br />
or warranties, express or implied,<br />
by Sotheby’s Wine, Sotheby’s or the<br />
Consignor as to merchantability, fi tness<br />
for a particular purpose, the correctness<br />
of the catalogue or other<br />
description of the physical condition,<br />
size, quality, rarity, importance, medium,<br />
provenance, exhibitions, literature<br />
or historical relevance of any property<br />
and no statement anywhere, whether<br />
oral or written, whether made in the<br />
catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of<br />
sale, a salesroom posting or announcement,<br />
or elsewhere, shall be deemed<br />
such a warranty, representation or<br />
assumption of liability. Sotheby’s Wine,<br />
Sotheby’s and the Consignor are not<br />
responsible for errors and omissions in<br />
the catalogue, glossary, or any supplemental<br />
material. Sotheby’s, Sotheby’s<br />
Wine and the Consignor make no representations<br />
and warranties, express or<br />
implied, as to whether the purchaser<br />
acquires any copyrights, including but<br />
not limited to, any reproduction rights<br />
in any property.<br />
2. If Sotheby’s Wine sells any wine<br />
which the Buyer subsequently shows<br />
to Sotheby’s Wine reasonable satisfaction<br />
to be “counterfeit,” subject to<br />
the terms below Sotheby’s Wine will<br />
set aside the sale and refund to the<br />
purchaser of record the purchase price<br />
received for such wine (the successful<br />
hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium).<br />
For these purposes, “counterfeit”<br />
means a wine for which, in<br />
the reasonable opinion of Sotheby’s<br />
Wine, the correct description of the<br />
producer and vintage is not refl ected<br />
by the description in the BOLD and<br />
CAPITALIZED heading in the catalogue<br />
(as amended by any oral or written<br />
salesroom notices or announcements).<br />
The Guarantee is provided<br />
for a period of twenty-one (21) days<br />
from the date of the relevant auction<br />
and is solely for the benefi t of the<br />
original purchaser of record at the auction<br />
and may not be transferred to any<br />
third party.<br />
To be able to claim under this<br />
Guarantee, the original purchaser of<br />
record must (i) notify Sotheby’s Wine<br />
in writing within the 21 day period of<br />
the reasons for believing the wine to be<br />
counterfeit, specifying the lot number,<br />
date of the auction at which it was purchased<br />
and the reasons for such question;<br />
and (ii) return the lot to Sotheby’s<br />
Wine at the original selling location in<br />
the same condition as at the date of<br />
sale to the original purchaser of record<br />
and be able to transfer good title to<br />
the lot, free from any third party claims<br />
arising after the date of such sale.<br />
Sotheby’s Wine in its sole discretion<br />
will decide the validity of any such<br />
claim as between the Consignor and<br />
the purchaser. It is specifi cally understood<br />
and agreed that the rescission<br />
of a sale and the refund of the original<br />
purchase price is exclusive and in<br />
lieu of any other remedy which might<br />
otherwise be available as a matter of<br />
law, or in equity. Neither Sotheby’s<br />
Wine, Sotheby’s nor the Consignor<br />
shall be liable for any incidental or<br />
consequential damages incurred or<br />
claimed, including without limitation,<br />
loss of profi ts or interest.<br />
I 85 I<br />
3. A buyer’s premium will be added to<br />
the successful bid price of each lot and<br />
is payable by the purchaser as part of<br />
the total purchase price. The buyer’s<br />
premium is 22.5% of the successful<br />
bid price.<br />
4. Sotheby’s Wine reserve the right to<br />
withdraw any property before or at the<br />
sale and shall have no liability whatsoever<br />
for such withdrawal. Sotheby’s<br />
Wine also reserves the right to combine<br />
two or more lots.<br />
5. Unless otherwise announced by<br />
the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as<br />
numbered in the catalogue.<br />
6. Sotheby’s Wine reserves the right<br />
to reject any bid. The highest bidder<br />
acknowledged by the auctioneer will<br />
be the purchaser. In the event of any<br />
dispute between bidders, or in the<br />
event of doubt on Sotheby’s Wine<br />
part as to the validity of any bid, the<br />
auctioneer will have the fi nal discretion<br />
to determine the successful bidder,<br />
to re-open the bidding, to cancel the<br />
sale, or to reo er and resell the article<br />
in dispute. If any dispute arises after<br />
the sale, Sotheby’s Wine sale record<br />
is conclusive. Although in its discretion<br />
Sotheby’s Wine will execute order<br />
or absentee bids or accept telephone<br />
bids or online bids as a convenience to<br />
clients who are not present at auctions,<br />
neither Sotheby’s Wine nor Sotheby’s<br />
are responsible for any errors or omissions<br />
in connection therewith.<br />
By participating in the sale, you<br />
represent and warrant that any bids<br />
placed by you, or on your behalf, are<br />
not the product of any collusive or<br />
other anti-competitive agreement and<br />
are otherwise consistent with federal<br />
and state antitrust law.<br />
7. If the auctioneer decides that any<br />
opening bid is below the reserve of the<br />
article o ered, Sotheby’s Wine may<br />
reject the same and withdraw the article<br />
from sale, and if, having acknowledged<br />
an opening bid, Sotheby’s Wine<br />
decides that any advance thereafter is<br />
insu cient, Sotheby’s Wine may reject<br />
the advance.<br />
8. Subject to fulfi lment of all of the<br />
conditions set forth herein, on the fall<br />
of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the<br />
o ered lot will pass to the highest bidder<br />
acknowledged by the auctioneer,<br />
and such bidder thereupon (a) must<br />
present satisfactory legal documentation<br />
that he or she is at least 21 years of<br />
age, (b) assumes full risk and responsibility<br />
therefor, and (c) will immediately<br />
pay the full purchase price or such part<br />
as Sotheby’s Wine may require. The<br />
sales price shall be exclusive of any<br />
storage or delivery charge. In addition<br />
to other remedies available to<br />
Sotheby’s Wine or Sotheby’s by law,<br />
they reserve the right to impose from<br />
the date of sale a late charge of 1.5%<br />
per month of the total purchase price<br />
if payment is not made in accordance<br />
with the conditions set forth herein.<br />
All property must be removed by the<br />
purchaser at his or her expense as<br />
soon as possible following payment,<br />
and in any event not later than 45<br />
days following its sale and, if it is not<br />
so removed, (i) a storage charge of<br />
$10.00 per lot per month from the 46th<br />
day after the sale until its removal will<br />
be payable to Sotheby’s Wine by the<br />
purchaser, (ii) if the property remains<br />
in storage for over 90 days following<br />
its sale, Sotheby’s Wine may send the<br />
purchased property to a third party<br />
warehouse, for the account, risk and<br />
expense of the purchaser, and New<br />
York state and local sales tax will be<br />
charged.
If any applicable conditions herein<br />
are not complied with by the purchaser,<br />
the purchaser will be in default and in<br />
addition to any and all other remedies<br />
available to Sotheby’s Wine, Sotheby’s<br />
or the Consignor by law, including<br />
without limitation the right to hold the<br />
purchaser liable for the total purchase<br />
price, including all fees, charges and<br />
expenses more fully set forth herein,<br />
Sotheby’s Wine, at its option, may (x)<br />
cancel the sale of that, or any other<br />
lot or lots sold to the defaulting purchaser<br />
at the same or any other auction,<br />
retaining as liquidated damages<br />
all payments made by the purchaser,<br />
or (y) resell the purchased property,<br />
whether at public auction or by private<br />
sale, or (z) e ect any combination<br />
thereof. In any case, the purchaser will<br />
be liable for any defi ciency, any and all<br />
costs, handling charges, late charges,<br />
expenses of both sales, Sotheby’s<br />
Wine’ commissions on both sales at<br />
regular rates, legal fees and expenses,<br />
collection fees and incidental damages.<br />
Sotheby’s Wine may, in its sole<br />
discretion, apply any proceeds of sale<br />
then due or thereafter becoming due<br />
to the purchaser from Sotheby’s Wine<br />
or Sotheby’s or any a liated company,<br />
or any payment made by the purchaser<br />
to Sotheby’s Wine or Sotheby’s or<br />
any a liated company, whether or not<br />
intended to reduce the purchaser’s<br />
obligations with respect to the unpaid<br />
lot or lots, to the defi ciency and any<br />
other amounts due to Sotheby’s Wine,<br />
Sotheby’s or any a liated companies.<br />
In addition, a defaulting purchaser<br />
will be deemed to have granted and<br />
assigned to Sotheby’s Wine, Sotheby’s<br />
and their a liated companies, a continuing<br />
security interest of fi rst priority<br />
in any property or money of or owing<br />
to such purchaser in Sotheby’s Wine<br />
or Sotheby’s possession, custody or<br />
control or in the possession, custody<br />
or control of any of their a liated<br />
companies, and Sotheby’s Wine and<br />
Sotheby’s may retain and apply such<br />
property or money as collateral security<br />
for the obligations due to them or<br />
to any a liated company of theirs in<br />
each case weather at the time of the<br />
auction, the default or if acquired at<br />
anytime thereafter. Sotheby’s Wine<br />
and Sotheby’s shall have all of the<br />
rights accorded a secured party under<br />
the New York Uniform Commercial<br />
Code. Sotheby’s Wine and Sotheby’s<br />
shall have all of the rights accorded<br />
a secured party under the New York<br />
Uniform Commercial Code. You<br />
hereby agree that Sotheby’s Wine<br />
and Sotheby’s may fi le fi nancing statements<br />
under the Uniform Commercial<br />
Code without your signature where<br />
legally permissible. Payment will not<br />
be deemed to have been made in full<br />
until we have collected good funds.<br />
In the event the purchaser fails to<br />
pay any or all of the total purchase<br />
price for any lot and Sotheby’s and<br />
Sotheby’s Wine nonetheless elect to<br />
pay the Consignor any portion of the<br />
sale proceeds, the purchaser acknowledges<br />
that Sotheby’s and Sotheby’s<br />
Wine shall have all of the rights of the<br />
Consignor to pursue the purchaser for<br />
any amounts paid to the Consignor,<br />
whether at law, in equity, or under<br />
these Conditions of Sale.<br />
9. Unless otherwise indicated, each<br />
lot in the sale is o ered subject to<br />
a reserve which is the confi dential<br />
minimum hammer price at which a<br />
lot will be sold. No reserve will exceed<br />
the low presale estimate stated in the<br />
catalogue, or as amended by oral or<br />
posted notices. Sotheby’s Wine may<br />
implement such reserve by opening<br />
the bidding on behalf of the Consignor<br />
and may bid up to the amount of the<br />
reserve, placing successive or consecutive<br />
bids for a lot, or bids in response<br />
to other bidders. In instances where<br />
Sotheby’s Wine or Sotheby’s have an<br />
interest in the lot other than Sotheby’s<br />
Wine’ commission, they may bid up to<br />
the reserve to protect such interest.<br />
In certain instances, the Consignor<br />
may pay Sotheby’s Wine less than the<br />
standard commission rate where a lot is<br />
“bought-in” to protect its reserve.<br />
10. The purchaser shall pay any applicable<br />
state and local taxes, and any<br />
applicable compensating use tax of<br />
another state which Sotheby’s Wine or<br />
Sotheby’s may be required by law to<br />
collect at the time of the payment of<br />
the purchase price.<br />
11. These Conditions of Sale, as well<br />
as the purchaser’s, Sotheby’s Wine and<br />
Sotheby’s respective rights and obligations<br />
hereunder, shall be governed by<br />
and construed and enforced in accordance<br />
with the laws of the State of<br />
New York. By bidding at an auction,<br />
whether present in person or by agent,<br />
order bid, telephone, online or other<br />
means, the purchaser shall be deemed<br />
to have consented to the exclusive<br />
I 86 I<br />
jurisdiction of the state courts of, and<br />
the federal courts sitting in, the State<br />
of New York.<br />
12. Sotheby’s Wine is not responsible<br />
for the acts or omissions in the packing<br />
or shipping of purchased lots or of<br />
other carriers or packers of purchased<br />
lots, whether or not recommended<br />
by them. Packing and handling of<br />
purchased lots is at the entire risk of<br />
the purchaser.<br />
13. In no event will Sotheby’s Wine<br />
liability to a purchaser exceed the purchase<br />
price actually paid.<br />
Data Protection 14. Sotheby’s will<br />
use information provided by its clients<br />
or which Sotheby’s otherwise obtains<br />
relating to its clients for the provision<br />
of auction and other art-related services,<br />
real estate and insurance services,<br />
client administration, marketing and<br />
otherwise to manage and operate its<br />
business, or as required by law.<br />
Some gathering of information<br />
about Sotheby’s clients will take place<br />
using technical means to identify their<br />
preferences and provide a higher quality<br />
of service to them, and Sotheby’s<br />
may gather information about its clients<br />
through video images or through<br />
the use of monitoring devices used to<br />
record telephone conversations.<br />
Sotheby’s will generally seek clients’<br />
express consent before gathering<br />
any sensitive data, unless otherwise<br />
permitted by law. Clients agree that<br />
Sotheby’s may use any sensitive information<br />
that they supply to Sotheby’s.<br />
By agreeing to these Conditions of<br />
Sale, clients agree to the processing<br />
of their personal information and also<br />
to the disclosure and transfer of such<br />
information to any Sotheby’s a liate<br />
or subsidiary and to third parties<br />
anywhere in the world for the above<br />
purposes, including to countries which<br />
may provide di erent degrees of protection<br />
of personal information to that<br />
o ered in the US. Clients can prevent<br />
the use of their personal information<br />
for marketing purposes at any time by<br />
notifying Sotheby’s.<br />
CONDITIONS FOR LIVE<br />
ONLINE BIDDING<br />
The following terms and conditions<br />
(together, the “Conditions”) provide<br />
important information related to live<br />
online bidding in sales conducted by<br />
72nd and York Inc. (“Sotheby’s Wine”)<br />
and Sotheby’s, Inc. (“Sotheby’s New<br />
York”), in respect of the sales that<br />
take place in New York, by Sotheby’s<br />
in London (“Sotheby’s London”), in<br />
respect of the sales that take place in<br />
London, and by Sotheby’s Hong Kong<br />
Limited (“Sotheby’s Hong Kong”), in<br />
respect of the sales that take place in<br />
Hong Kong. These terms are in addition<br />
to Sotheby’s Wine and Sotheby’s<br />
New York’s Conditions of Sale, in<br />
respect of the sales that take place<br />
in New York, and in respect of the<br />
sales that take place in London and<br />
Hong Kong, in addition to Sotheby’s<br />
London’s and Sotheby’s Hong Kong’s<br />
Conditions of Business for Buyers and<br />
Authenticity Guarantee, respectively,<br />
and are not intended in any way to<br />
replace them. By participating in<br />
this sale via live online bidding, you<br />
acknowledge that you are bound by<br />
these additional Conditions.<br />
1. A live auction is by its nature<br />
fast-moving and bidding may progress<br />
very quickly. Sotheby’s Wine, New<br />
York, Sotheby’s London and Sotheby’s<br />
Hong Kong, in relation to the sales in<br />
New York, London and Hong Kong<br />
respectively, wish to ensure that online<br />
bids are submitted as promptly as possible<br />
to ensure that online bidders are<br />
not at any disadvantage when bidding<br />
against bidders in the room and on the<br />
telephones. The procedure for placing<br />
bids is therefore a one-step process;<br />
as soon as the “Bid” button is clicked,<br />
a bid is submitted. By bidding online,<br />
you accept and agree that bids submitted<br />
in this way are fi nal and that you<br />
will not under any circumstances be<br />
permitted to amend or retract your bid.<br />
If a successful bid is sent to Sotheby’s<br />
Wine, New York, Sotheby’s London<br />
or Sotheby’s Hong Kong, in relation<br />
to the sales in New York, London or<br />
Hong Kong respectively, from your<br />
computer, you irrevocably agree to<br />
pay the full purchase price, including<br />
buyer’s premium and all applicable<br />
taxes and other applicable charges.
2. All online bidders will be able to see<br />
the paddle numbers of other online<br />
bidders as bids are placed. Bids other<br />
than online bids will be displayed on<br />
the online bidder’s computer screen<br />
as “fl oor” bids. “Floor” bids include<br />
those bids taken from the live auction<br />
room, telephones, and absentee bidders,<br />
as well as any bids made by the<br />
auctioneer on behalf of the consignor<br />
below the reserve. If an online bid<br />
and a “fl oor” bid are placed simultaneously,<br />
the “fl oor” bid generally will take<br />
precedence; the auctioneer will have<br />
the fi nal discretion to determine the<br />
successful bidder or to reopen bidding.<br />
The auctioneer’s decision is fi nal.<br />
3. The next bidding increment is<br />
shown on your computer screen for<br />
your convenience. The auctioneer has<br />
discretion to vary bidding increments<br />
for bidders in the auction room and on<br />
the telephones, but online bidders will<br />
not be able to place a bid in an amount<br />
other than a whole bidding increment.<br />
All bidding for this sale will be in<br />
U.S. Dollars, in respect of New York<br />
sales, in Pounds Sterling, in respect<br />
on London sales, or in Hong Kong<br />
Dollars, in respect of Hong Kong sales,<br />
and online bidders will not be able to<br />
see the currency conversion board that<br />
may be displayed in the auction room.<br />
4. The record of sale, kept by Sotheby’s<br />
Wine, Sotheby’s New York, Sotheby’s<br />
London and Sotheby’s Hong Kong,<br />

Hong Kong, respectively, following the<br />
sale in New York, London or Hong<br />
Kong, as the case may be, the invoice<br />

IMPORTANT INFORMATION<br />
FOR PURCHASERS AT WINE<br />
SALES<br />
The following will help explain some<br />
of the words and symbols commonly<br />
used throughout this catalogue. All<br />
bidders should read the Conditions<br />
of Sale in this catalogue, as well as<br />
any glossary or other notices. By bidding<br />
at auction, bidders are bound by<br />
those Conditions of Sale, as amended<br />
by any oral announcement or posted<br />
notices, which together form the contract<br />
of sale, between the successful<br />
bidder (purchaser), Sotheby’s Wine,<br />
Sotheby’s and the seller (consignor)<br />
of the lot. Please remember that all<br />
property is sold “AS IS” and is only<br />
subject to rescission as stated in the<br />
Conditions of Sale. If you have any<br />
questions concerning the information<br />
below or any other auction practices,<br />
please contact Geraldine Nager<br />
Gri n at +1 212 606 7568.<br />
Property in which Sotheby’s has an<br />
Ownership Interest<br />
Lots with this symbol indicate that<br />
Sotheby’s owns the lot in whole or in<br />
part or has an economic interest in the<br />
lot equivalent to an ownership interest.<br />
Estimates A low and high estimate<br />
of the selling price exclusive of buyer’s<br />
premium is printed beside the last lot in<br />
each parcel, based on the price per lot.<br />
A parcel is a group of similar lots under<br />
one bold type heading. The estimates<br />
are guides for prospective bidders<br />
and, where possible, reflect prices<br />
that similar wines have sold for in the<br />
past. The estimates are determined in<br />
advance of the sale and are therefore<br />
subject to revision to reflect current<br />
market conditions. Estimates should<br />
not be relied upon as a representation<br />
or prediction of actual selling prices.<br />
If you have any questions concerning<br />
a lot, please contact the specialists in<br />
charge of the sale whose names are<br />
printed in the front of this catalogue.<br />
Bidding Bidding is per lot. Bidding<br />
increments are listed on the absentee<br />
bidding slip in the middle of the<br />
catalogue.<br />
In order to bid live at an auction,<br />
you must register for a paddle when<br />
entering the salesroom. If you are the<br />
successful bidder on a lot, whether<br />
in the room, on the telephone, or<br />
online, the auctioneer will acknowledge<br />
your paddle number. Unless<br />
you have previously qualifi ed to bid<br />
at Sotheby’s, please be prepared to<br />
provide requested information to a<br />
Sotheby’s representative.<br />
Bidding will be in accordance with<br />
the lot numbers listed in the catalogue<br />
or as announced by the auctioneer,<br />
and will be in increments determined<br />
by the auctioneer. There are multiple<br />
ways in which you may bid at auction.<br />
You may bid in person by attending<br />
the auction, submit an Absentee Bid<br />
Form by letter or fax, or in certain circumstances,<br />
by telephone. For some<br />
sales, you may also be able to bid live<br />
online. If you are unable to attend<br />
the sale, please see the Absentee Bid<br />
Form and Guide for Absentee Bidders<br />
which contains additional information<br />
on absentee bidding. If you are<br />
interested in live online bidding, please<br />
contact the wine department for additional<br />
information.<br />
Unless otherwise noted in the catalogue<br />
or by an announcement at the<br />
auction, Sotheby’s Wine acts as agent<br />
on behalf of the seller and does not<br />
permit the seller to bid on his or her<br />
own property. It is important for all<br />
bidders to know that the auctioneer<br />
may open the bidding on any lot by<br />
placing a bid on behalf of the seller<br />
and may continue bidding for the seller<br />
by placing responsive or consecutive<br />
bids, but only up to the reserve (see<br />
the next paragraph below for information<br />
regarding reserves). The auctioneer<br />
will not place consecutive bids on<br />
behalf of the seller above the reserves.<br />
Reserves Unless otherwise indicated,<br />
all property in the sale is o ered subject<br />
to a reserve. A reserve is the<br />
confi dential minimum price established<br />
between Sotheby’s Wine and the seller.<br />
The reserve is generally set at a<br />
percentage of the low estimate and will<br />
not exceed the low estimate of the lot.<br />
If any lots in the catalogue are o ered<br />
without a reserve, such lots will be designated<br />
by the following symbol (a).<br />
If every lot in the catalogue is o ered<br />
without a reserve, the Conditions of<br />
Sale will so state and this symbol will<br />
not be used for each lot.<br />
Currency Conversion Board NY<br />
For your convenience, in many sales<br />
Sotheby’s operates a display board<br />
which converts United States dollars<br />
into various foreign currencies. All<br />
foreign currency amounts displayed<br />
are approximations based on recent<br />
exchange rate information and may<br />
not be relied upon as a precise invoice<br />
amount. Sotheby’s and Sotheby’s<br />
Wine assume no responsibility for any<br />
error or omission in foreign or United<br />
States currency amounts shown.
Hammer Price (or Successful Bid<br />
Price) and the Buyer’s Premium For<br />
lots which are sold, the last price for<br />
a lot as announced by the auctioneer<br />
is the hammer, or successful bid price.<br />
A buyer’s premium will be added to<br />
the successful bid price and is payable<br />
by the purchaser as part of the total<br />
purchase price. The buyer’s premium<br />
will be the amount stated in Paragraph<br />
3 of the Conditions of Sale in this<br />
catalogue.<br />
Payment for Purchased Property If<br />
you are the successful bidder on a<br />
lot, payment is to be made immediately<br />
following a sale. Sotheby’s will<br />
issue a Release Order to Sotheby’s<br />
Wine once receipt of full payment has<br />
been confi rmed. All delivery or pick-up<br />
inquiries should be made to Sotheby’s<br />
Wine. Please contact the specialist in<br />
charge of the sale for information on<br />
a specifi c lot, or Matt Bolton at +1 212<br />
606 7418, for information regarding<br />
payment.<br />
Payment by Cash It is against<br />
Sotheby’s general policy to accept<br />
single or multiple related payments in<br />
the form of cash or cash equivalents in<br />
excess of the local currency equivalent<br />
of US $10,000. It is Sotheby’s policy<br />
to request any new clients or purchasers<br />
preferring to make a cash payment<br />
to provide: verifi cation of identity (by<br />
providing some form of government<br />
issued identifi cation containing a photograph,<br />
such as a passport, identity<br />
card or driver’s license), confi rmation<br />
of permanent address and identifi cation<br />
of the source of the funds.<br />
Payment by Credit Cards As of<br />
1 January 2009, Sotheby’s does not<br />
accept payment by credit card for auction<br />
purposes.<br />
Payment by Check To pay for a purchase<br />
by check, please see our cashier<br />
and fi ll out a Check Acceptance<br />
Account form. Until approved, you will<br />
not be permitted to remove purchases<br />
before the check has cleared. Check<br />
acceptance privileges are reviewed<br />
from time to time by Sotheby’s and<br />
may be granted or withdrawn at our<br />
sole discretion. Checks should be<br />
made payable to Sotheby’s. Cashier’s<br />
checks are accepted at Sotheby’s discretion<br />
and provided they are issued<br />
by a reputable fi nancial institution<br />
governed by anti-money laundering<br />
laws. Instruments not meeting these<br />
requirements will be treated as “cash<br />
equivalents” and subject to the constraints<br />
noted in the prior paragraph<br />
titled “Payment By Cash”.<br />
Payment by Wire Transfer<br />
To pay for purchase as wire transfer,<br />
please refer to the payment instructions<br />
on the invoice provided by<br />
Sotheby’s or contact Matt Bolton at<br />
+1 212 606 7418.<br />

SALES <strong>AND</strong> USE TAX<br />
New York sales tax is charged on the<br />
successful bid price, buyer’s premium<br />
and any other applicable charges<br />
on any property picked up or delivered<br />
in New York State, regardless<br />
of the state or country in which the<br />
purchaser resides or does business,<br />
unless Sotheby’s Wine and Sotheby’s<br />
have been given, in advance of the<br />
release of the property, a valid exemption<br />
from taxes by the State of New<br />
York. For states to which Sotheby’s<br />
Wine is not able to ship, purchasers<br />
may only collect their wines in New<br />
York, in which case New York sales tax<br />
will be charged. Sotheby’s Wine will<br />
also collect taxes on purchases shipped<br />
to California, Connecticut, Minnesota<br />
and New Jersey. All non-taxable transactions<br />
by licensed dealers of alcoholic<br />
beverages and by holders of New York<br />
State Liquor Authority Licenses must<br />
submit Resale Certifi cates to Sotheby’s<br />
Wine and Sotheby’s prior to the release<br />
of the property, in order to facilitate the<br />
determination of exemption from sales<br />
tax. Property delivered to states where<br />
neither Sotheby’s nor Sotheby’s Wine<br />
is required to collect sales tax may be<br />
subject to use tax. Buyers should contact<br />
their advisor to determine if use tax<br />
is payable. If you have any questions<br />
concerning this, please contact Matt<br />
Bolton at +1 212 606 7418.<br />
Liability for Loss and Damage At<br />
the fall of the hammer, all risks of loss<br />
and damage to the lot passes to the<br />
purchaser.<br />
Non-arrival, Loss, Breakage and<br />
Shortage Loss, breakage and shortage<br />
should be notifi ed to Sotheby’s<br />
Wine in writing within three days of<br />
delivery of the property, which must be<br />
examined in the presence of the carrier<br />
on arrival. In the event of non-arrival,<br />
the purchaser must inform Sotheby’s<br />
Wine in writing within 21 days of the<br />
date of the release order.<br />
Property Owned by Sotheby’s Wine<br />
In the event Sotheby’s Wine own<br />
property, in whole or in part, such<br />
property will be designated by the following<br />
symbol (b)<br />
Arrangement of Lots Wines of individual<br />
owners are grouped together,<br />
usually preceded by a general heading.<br />
There is an index at the end of the<br />
catalogue.<br />
Cataloguing of Old Wines Wines are<br />
catalogued as accurately as possible at<br />
the time of going to press. However,<br />
purchasers must take into consideration<br />
the natural variations and conditions<br />
of cases, labels, ullages, corks and<br />
wines. Except as set forth in paragraph<br />
2 of the Conditions of Sale, Sotheby’s<br />
Wine is unable to accept returns.<br />

GUIDE FOR ABSENTEE BIDS<br />
Absentee Bids If you are unable to<br />
attend an auction in person, and wish<br />
to place bids, you may give Sotheby’s<br />
Bid Department instructions to bid<br />
on your behalf. Our representatives<br />
will then try to purchase the lot or lots<br />
of your choice for the lowest price<br />
possible, and never for more than the<br />
top amount you indicate. This service<br />
is free and confi dential. Please note:<br />
Sotheby’s o ers this service as a convenience<br />
to clients who are unable to<br />
attend the sale, and although we will<br />
make every e ort, Sotheby’s will not<br />
be responsible for error or failure to<br />
execute bids.<br />
Placing Absentee Bids To place bids,<br />
please use the absentee bid form provided<br />
in this catalogue. Be sure to<br />
accurately record the lot numbers and<br />
descriptions and the top price you are<br />
willing to pay for each lot. “Buy” or<br />
unlimited bids will not be accepted.<br />
Always indicate a “top limit”— the<br />
amount to which you would bid if you<br />
were attending the auction yourself.<br />
Alternative bids should be indicated<br />
by using the word “OR” between lot<br />
numbers. Then if your bid on an early<br />
lot is successful, we will not continue<br />
to bid on other lots for you. Or, if your<br />
early bids are unsuccessful, we will<br />
continue to execute bids for alternative<br />
lots until a bid is successful. Bids<br />
must always be placed in the same<br />
order as the lot numbers appear in the<br />
catalogue.<br />
Each absentee bid form should contain<br />
bids for one sale only; the number<br />
and code name should appear in the<br />
top right-hand corner of the form.<br />
Please place your bids as early as possible.<br />
In the event of identical bids, the<br />
earliest received will take precedence.<br />

the telephone, prospective purchasers<br />
consent thereto.<br />
Buyer’s Premium The “top limit” you<br />
indicate on your bid form is for the<br />
hammer price only. Please keep in<br />
mind that a buyer’s premium will be<br />
added to the successful bid price of<br />
each lot you buy and is payable by<br />
you, together with the applicable sales<br />
tax which is applied to the total cost of<br />
your purchase (the total cost includes<br />
the buyer’s premium). The buyer’s<br />
premium will be the amount stated in<br />
paragraph 3 of the Conditions of Sale<br />
in the front of this catalogue.<br />
