Wine notes (when available): "Soaring from the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of toasted nuts, honeycomb, dried fruits, ripe peach and mocha..."(97pts) Provenance: ONE OF THE GREATEST OFFERINGS EVER OF DRC : This is one of America’s great collections, and we are thrilled to present seventy‑two selections of breathtaking Burgundy and Champagne spanning historic vintages and modern legends! This iconic New York collector has spent the past thirty years drinking the very best of the best, often in the company of friends around the world where the wine, food, and company are always extraordinary. Over a lifetime he has built a cellar sourced only from trusted collectors, leading merchants, and the world’s top auction houses, with every bottle carefully maintained in professional storage. The monumental 1999 La Tâche appears in multiple formats including bottles, magnums, Jeroboams, and a another Methuselah in OWC!! Romanée‑Conti itself stretches from 1943 to 1999 with the spotlight firmly on single bottles of 1943 and 1945 RC from the personal cellars of Robert Drouhin!!! Incroyable!!! One of the greatest collections of DRC ever!!! And don’t forget the bottle of 1923 La Tache that isn’t DRC, it is actually Liger-Belair, and we compared this bottle to an empty one in the Chateau de Vosne Romanee itself. Suffice it to say, we were pleased with the results… Champagne is a dazzling counterpart, with a historic lineup of Krug including rare bottles of 1929 Private Cuvée Extra Sec, a 1938 magnum, and Krug Collection vintages from 1949 through the 1970s in OWCs with letters from the Domaine in tact! All wines removed from professional storage. Refer to original catalog header sections for additional collection details when available.
