1 dozen bottles per lot
Fine Wines and Spirits 14 November 2009 Dear Client, Welcome to our exciting November sale of fine and rare wine. A generous collection of 835 lots, this sale has everything from the usual Bordeaux and Burgundy, to rare gems like 1937 Moulin Touchais (lot 321) and exquisite and seldom seen high end wines such as the 1961 Latour à Pomerol (lot 77) and the 1945 Richebourg Vieux Cépages from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (lot 64). This sale includes a broad a selection of spirits from several different consignors. Notable among them are a consignment from Park Avenue Liquor Shop, which is one of the nation's most lauded spirits dealers, who have offered our clients an amazing array of spirits. There are unique gems like Auchentoshan 37 year old Scotch (lot 173) and Tomintoul 40 year old Scotch (lot 175): old Scotch at reasonable estimates. Another highlight of this section is the long-awaited Bowmore Trilogy (lot 164), three bottles of 1964 whisky, each matured differently and sold direct from the distillery, including the Bowmore Gold. This whisky has never before been released in the U.S.. The sale also features the Ardbeg Double Barrel (lot 167) which comes with silver whisky glasses (see illustration). Rounding out our offer are fine examples of Bourbon, Rum, Irish whiskey, Scotch, Calvados, Cognac and Armagnac. Lots 17-45 offer the DRC collector a dream: DRC from every vineyard, in case lots, almost all banded prior to inspection. Continuing on from that young DRC, are lots 46-66, older DRC ready to drink now. We have a large consignment of American wines including Screaming Eagle starting on lot 102 and one of the largest collections of large format Diamond Creek (lots 391-423) brought to auction in recent memory. On lot 424 begins a large consignment from many growing regions, including a very strong section of Guigal's single vineyard wines starting on lot 704. To close out the sale: some 1982 Bordeaux in original wooden cases (lot 826): not a bad way to end! Please don't hesitate to contact either me or my team of specialists with any questions you might have. We look forward to seeing you at the sale for Champagne and brunch. Sincerely, Charles Curtis MW Head of North American Wine Sales TOP BORDEAUX AND BURGUNDY FEATURING 1982 PETRUS The following lots are a small portion of this consignor's beautiful collection, lovingly stored in a custom built temperature and humidity controlled cellar built into his house. Though this consignment features only the top wines from his collection, the breadth of his purchases reveals a collector deeply invested in the understanding of wine in all of it's manifestations. Wines from the Loire, South America and Spain (as well as the world over) rested quietly in his cellar next to a rather impressive leg of Jamon Iberico. This consignment, it was clear, comes from a wine lover and a wine drinker. Bid with confidence.
