622 Chevalier Montrachet - Vintage 2007Domaine Leflaive1lbsl, different importers“A strikingly complex nose that is even more complexthan that of the Bâtard as there is a great breadth ofaromas to the ripe, pure and airy nose of white flower,spice and subtle pear aromas that complement to perfectionthe rich and mouth coating flavors built on a base offine minerality, all wrapped in a sappy and mouth coatingfinish that oozes dry extract. This is really a lovelyeffort that is almost as powerful as the Bâtard but asone would expect, finer and even a bit longer with analmost painfully intense backend. A very impressive effortthat is positively Zen-like in its poise and quiet sense ofharmony.”(96pts BH)3 bottles per lot US$1500-2000per lot HK$12000-16000PARCEL LOTS 623-627623 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 1996Oenotheque12x1 bottle ogb’s“The 1996 Dom Pérignon OEenotheque offers up layersof pastry, lemon, smoke and toastiness. At first deceptivelyunderstated, the wine turns positively explosiveand layered on the palate, showing remarkable tension,elegance and power, all wrapped around a seriouslyintense frame. The balance between fruit and acidity isawesome. This is a marvelous DP OEeno. The OEenois the same juice as the regular Dom Pérignon, exceptthe OEeno is aged on the cork while the regular DP isaged in crown-sealed bottles. Once disgorged, the OEenosgets a slightly lower dosage than is typical for theoriginal release DP.”(97pts)12 bottles per lot US$4000-6000per lot HK$32000-48000624 12 bottles per lot US$4000-600012x1 bottle ogb’sper lot HK$32000-48000625 12 bottles per lot US$4000-600012x1 bottle ogb’sper lot HK$32000-48000626 12 bottles per lot US$4000-600012x1 bottle ogb’sper lot HK$32000-48000627 12 bottles per lot US$4000-600012x1 bottle ogb’sper lot HK$32000-48000628 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne - Vintage 2000Rose12x1 bottle ogb’s“...is a flashy, ripe Champagne that screams Pinot to adegree I have never encountered in another vintage ofthis wine.
