Refer to our catalog for an explanation of these abbreviations. Wine notes: "We were back in safer territory with an excellent 1978 Chateau de La Tour Clos Vougeot. This had much deeper fruit and was very fragrant, showing off lots of purple musk. It had a nice body with a dry, cedary finish, and taut purple fruit with light citrus kisses. Earth and beef satay flavors combined with hay and straw to show both fresh yet browning, mature flavors. This was a complicated wine."(93pts JK) Provenance: From Europe with Love: Our continental gentleman, a collector of extraordinary taste and legendary generosity, returns with 100+ selections of ancient and modern wonders. The headline is 1959 Latour, supported by Cheval Blanc from 1953, 1955, and 1961, full cases of 1975 and 1982 La Mission Haut-Brion, and Margaux reaching back to 1924. Red Burgundy showcases 1971 Rousseau Chambertin and twelve bottles of 1999 Grivot Richebourg in OCB, while White Burgundy introduces the rare 2016 L’Exceptionnelle Vendange des Sept Domaines Montrachet and Coche-Dury Meursault Perrières from 2013 and 2015. A jeroboam of 1964 Pommery and two bottles of 1875 Barbeito Malvasia Madeira bring a proper final toast. All wines ideally stored in Europe. Refer to original catalog header sections for additional information on provenance when available.
