The total experience in this great vintage. The bouquet has everything. Violets, peat, raspberries. A mind-blasting total taste. A huge mouthful of wild cherries with plummy fruit, liquorice, all backed up by terrific tannin and ace acidity. Peat and black cherries on the finish. Monumental wine - a pillar of the vinous century in Burgundy. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

A unique collection of gems of Burgundy, the property of a passionate European Wine and Art Collector with a taste for the best. These 3 bottles were carefully inspected and removed from a purpose-built cellar where they lay undisturbed, kept in perfect conditions. Amongst the lots, a rare 6L bottle of Romanée Conti 1996. This is a unique opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after Domaine in this particular size, especially with such a perfect background.
