Krug Collection 1979 (1 MAG)

Krug Collection 1979

Good level, in individual original wooden case, Taiwan importer's back label

Last drunk from magnum. Vanilla ice on the nose. So rich in the middle palate but with lively acidity. A really nutty centre when you leave it in the glass, which one would expect on its 28th birthday. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 

上次品嚐1.5公升裝，有雲呢拿冰氣息，中段味道濃郁，充滿活力的酸度，酒液於杯中散發果仁香氣，陳年28載後應當如此。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.
