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 />

5 6 bts (owc)<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 />

7 6 bts (owc)<br />

8 6 bts (owc)<br />

per lot: $1,000-1,500<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 />

9 6 bts (owc)<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 />

12 6 bts (owc)<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 />

Ornellaia 2002<br />

Tuscany<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 />

RED BORDEAUX<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 />

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 />

Château Haut-Brion 2000<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 />

Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé<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 />

flavours. The sheer glossy depth of this is totally impressive,<br />

caressing the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<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 />

stamps<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 />

had a thick, dense Damascus plums taste and sweet, candy finish.<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 />

and flavoury on the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

been stored at 54 degrees with constant humidity in a private cellar ever since.<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 />

they are waiting for the appropriate time to be released. These<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 />

Property of one of our most knowledgeable collectors<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 />

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 />

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 />

a touch of cocoa at the end. So youthful and fresh. Serena Sutcliffe,<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 />

Lot 249: 2 nicked labels, 2 slightly scuffed 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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Les Forts de Latour is produced from the younger vines of less<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 />

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé<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 />

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1961 (1 bt)<br />

u. ts, stained, torn and damaged label, excellent color and clarity<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 />

Sutcliffe, MW<br />

Château Haut-Brion 1961 (1 bt)<br />

u. bn, damaged, fragile and partially missing label with vintage illegible,<br />

capsule cut to reveal fully branded cork, corroded capsule, excellent<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 />

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 />

raised cork<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 />

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)<br />

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

corroded capsule, slightly sunken corks, excellent color and clarity<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 />

This has always been stunning, mammoth wine and, at 24 years old,<br />

everything is confirmed. The most incredible roses-in-full-bloom,<br />

cassis bouquet – almost hyacinths. Extraordinary aromatic impact.<br />

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

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)<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 />

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé<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 />

RED BORDEAUX<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 />

Sutcliffe, MW<br />

438 4 bts (sc)<br />

per lot: $700-1,000<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 />

Sutcliffe, MW<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 />

441 10 hbs (cn)<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 />

444 11 bts (owc - missing lid)<br />

per lot: $1,400-1,800<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 />

445 1 imperial - 6 liter (owc)<br />

per lot: $1,600-2,250


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 />

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)<br />

Slightly scuffed labels<br />

The most marvellous nose of black truffles, roses and plums. So rich,<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 />

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 />

Sotheby’s discretion and at the caller’s<br />

risk. In Sotheby’s discretion, telephone<br />

bids may be recorded. By bidding on<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 />
