At 40 years old, and on my birthday (wish I was that age again.....), an incredible nose of coffee, blueberries and deep spiciness. On the palate, the motif is a compote of plums with cinnamon - and the mocha persists. Silky smooth, refined class and with a mega Petrus punch of cherries on the finish. Maybe we caught this at its absolute apogee, but who knows with Petrus always working its wizardry. An extraordinary manifestation of Merlot. If Petrus had a voice, it would be the purring bass of Kurt Moll! Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Provenance:
A rare Bordeaux collection centered on Château Mouton Rothschild, enriched by mature treasures including Petrus and Château d’Yquem. Recently removed from the underground cellar of a family house in Continental Europe, where all bottles have been stored since purchased for the most reputable European Wine Merchants. The crown jewels are four venerable vintages of Lafite—1914, 1934, 1942 and 1948— all authenticated by Sotheby’s specialists, offering collectors a rare glimpse into more than a century of the estate’s history.

Les joyaux de cette collection sont quatre millésimes vénérables de Lafite — 1914, 1934, 1942 et 1948 — authentifiés par les experts de Sotheby’s, offrant aux collectionneurs un rare aperçu de plus d’un siècle de l’histoire du Château.
