In 2024, this is as great as ever, perfect now in bottle, but try and wait a bit in magnum. Deep black fruit characterises the bouquet, cigar-rich and opulent. In the mouth, there is dense, welcoming texture plus ripe, yet still fresh, flavour that just swarms over the palate. Huge and enveloping, exciting and satisfying. This is classic Mouton from a vintage that miraculously combined fabulous quality with quantity. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

2019年品嚐，水準一如以往，標準瓶裝現在正好享用，1.5公升裝精彩可期。充滿深沈的黑色水果香，如雪茄般濃郁，豐腴順滑。口感濃稠，平易近人，酒味成熟之餘依然清新，漫過每一個味蕾。雄渾豐盛，令人心神蕩漾，心生滿足。這是木桐堡的經典年份佳作，質、量兼備，彷若天公造美。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.
