In 2021, a very deep cassis nose, all-enveloping. Great impact of black fruit flavour on the palate, with all the freshness of the vintage. Real depth of taste and the aromatics of the 14% Petit Verdot in the blend. Vibrant and mouth-filling, with impressive length and definition. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Provenance:

A stunning collection of the finest names from Bordeaux and Champagne, completed by iconic properties from Italy, Spain and California. Opening with impressive quantities of First Growths from the 1990s and early 2000s, the selection continues with the famed Super Seconds and seamlessly moves to the most notable names in Graves, such as La Mission Haut-Brion from the 1990s, and finally to the Right Bank. The red Bordeaux is complemented by a wonderful offering of the rare Haut Brion Blanc, in a range of vintages. Champagne is well represented by the most admired Maisons, including Krug, Louis Roederer and Taittinger. The entire collection was stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar in Switzerland until inspection and removal by Sotheby’s team.
