Last tasted from Imperial in 2009 and an absolute wow. The bouquet was all classic Pauillac spice and the taste was lovely, sweet and fat - the Imperial seemed to have given it flesh and glycerol. Masses of cassis fruit and very more-ish. Melted in the mouth. Easily my best ever Lafite 1966. Serena Sutcliffe, MW


於2009年品嚐六公升裝,絕對精彩之作。充滿波亞克酒區的芳香辛辣,味道動人甜美豐厚,六公升裝令酒體更厚身,洋溢黑加侖子氣息,入口融化,是我嚐過最好的一瓶1966年拉菲。施慧娜(葡萄酒大師 M.W.)

Provenance


Buyers are provided a rare chance to acquire gems from a small part of the Transcendent Sale that took place between 29 to 31 March in 2019. Wines have been stored at Crown Wine Cellars since the sale and have not been moved until recently for re-inspection. Each bottle carries a commemorative special label. Majority of the older wines were purchased from Sotheby’s and other major auction houses. Many of the wines were purchased from the most important Single Owner sales. Some wines were purchased from a handful or reputable UK and European wine merchants, with recent vintages being bought on initial release. Buyers can refer to the Transcendent Catalogue for additional remarks.

This collection offers a fabulous selection of rare and mature Champagne. For instance, parcel quantities of Dom Perignon are on offer, spanning 8 decades, from 1926 to 1992. With a total of 494 bottles and 34 magnums.

In addition, Bordeaux and Burgundies spanning 6 decades are on full display with all French Classics such as DRC, Comte de Vogue, Coche Dury and Ramonet, Jaboulet, Lafite and Cheval Blanc.
