Description
Château Margaux 1995
Margaux, 1er Cru Classé
Capsules very slightly scuffed by case dividers, Taiwan importer's back labels
In 2018 at the château, full, rich and fruity, with less definition and nobility than the 1996, but cedary soft and mouth-coating. A fabulous comparison, if you can get it. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
WA 95
2018年在酒莊品嚐,豐滿濃郁,充滿果味,不及1996年高貴鮮明,但有香柏木的柔香,包覆齒頰。精彩的對比。施慧娜(葡萄酒大師M.W.)

Provenance
Sotheby’s is honored to offer Part II of The Classic Cellar of an Important Asian Collector.
Immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality and gastronomy from a young age, the collector has cultivated a sophisticated palate, a deep appreciation for classic wines, and an unwavering commitment to quality. A successful entrepreneur and esteemed wine connoisseur, he is also renowned as a hotel and restaurant operator. His discerning taste shines through in this exceptional collection.
This remarkable collection features some of the most exquisite Bordeaux Classified Growths and gems from legendary vintages such as Mouton Rothschild 1982, Latour 1982 and Petrus 1989. It also includes distinguished Champagnes from renowned houses such as Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1995 and Krug Clos du Mesnil 1990. Complementing these are wines from the iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, spanning the late 1980s to 1990s. Offered in generous parcel quantities, this collection is a true celebration of elegance, tradition, and excellence.
Most of the collection has been acquired over the past three decades from UK and local wine merchants. Almost 100% of the wines were purchased more than 20 years ago. Vintage 1995 and onwards such as Mouton Rothschild and Comte de Champagne were mostly ordered and purchased on release in parcel quantities. The wines have been professionally stored in two professional, temperature-controlled cellars in Taipei since.
