Dom Pérignon 1996 (12 BT)

Dom Pérignon 1996

Sealed oc, packed in individual coffret, Taiwan importer's back labels

In 2019, there is that intense, piercing bouquet, with honey overtones. Very lively, with the top notes of 1996 fresh acidity allied to ripeness and mouth-filling, acacia flavours. As it breathes in the glass it becomes more winey, with a touch of wet walnuts. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 

WA 98 

2019年品嚐，香氣濃烈尖銳，夾雜蜂蜜氣息。生機盎然，帶有1996年香檳的初調，即清新的酸爽香氣，搭配成熟充盈的金合歡味道。隨著酒液在杯中逗留愈久，酒香就愈發強勁，還伴隨一股濕核桃香。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）

Sotheby’s is honored to offer Part II of The Classic Cellar of an Important Asian Collector.

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.
