Refer to our catalog for an explanation of these abbreviations. Wine notes: "This is a prodigious effort. Given recent perplexing offerings from this producer, it is amazing how phenomenal Ponsot's wines can be. The 1990 exhibits a deep, dense, murky, ruby color as well as an explosive nose of gravel, spring flowers, and black and red fruits. Extremely rich and full-bodied, with spectacular concentration, an unctuous texture, and an extraordinarily long finish, this wine remains youthful, but its fat and succulent texture are hard to resist."(98pts) 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.
