Refer to our catalog for an explanation of these abbreviations. Wine notes: "The 2016 Beychevelle has a stunning bouquet of vibrant, shimmering blackberry and wild strawberry fruit laced with crushed stone and rose petals. The well-balanced palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a slightly savory/dried blood finish that lingers in the mouth. Tasting both in London and in Bordeaux, I found the latter bottle to have a little more precision and race on the finish."(96pts VM) Provenance: Special Swiss Cellar Selections: Our Zürich-based collector and wine specialist, known for championing sustainability and authenticity, returns with fifty-four lots that reflect both classic taste and a curious palate. Bordeaux commences with twelve bottles of 2010 Cheval Blanc in two six-bottle OWCs and a case of 1979 L’Evangile in OWC, alongside full cases of 2009 Ducru-Beaucaillou and Montrose. Domaine Leroy displays five single bottles from 1992 through 1997, while Coche-Dury leads the whites with Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Two full OWCs of 2010 Guigal La Mouline and six cases of 2008 Piper-Heidsieck Rare lead into the collector’s adventurous side, from Pierre Overnoy Arbois to 2004 Keller G-Max and three cases of 2016 Opus One.
