5 THE GREAT 1961 VINTAGE 1961 *****, A great vintage often compared with the 1945, for the two have several things in common. First of all, nature did the pruning: frosts severely reducing the potential crop in 1945 and heavy rain washing away the pollen in thick-skinned, well nourished grapes producing deep-coloured, ripe but concentrated, tannic wines...some fabulous wines were made.

Now lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD) Château Pétrus=Vintage 1970 Pomerol, cru exceptionnel In original wooden case One capsule damaged. One slightly bin-soiled label. Levels: one into neck, three base of neck, seven top and one upper-shoulder Tasting note: a glorious mouthful. Quite quick to develop, soft, nicely balanced in 1976, then in the early 1980s, an astonishing flavour of ripe mulberries, pretty high alcohol, impressive, lovely. More than just fleshy yet not fat. M.B bottles per lot 7,000-10,000 Ç7,900-11,000 Château Latour=Vintage 1982 In original wooden case In original tissues.

Last tasted Nov 2000 ****(*) M.B bottles per lot 2,400-2,800 Ç2,700-3,100 Château Pétrus=Vintage 1982 Pomerol, cru exceptionnel Two damaged capsules. Two slightly damaged labels. Levels into neck 48 4 bottles per lot 6,500-7,500 Ç7,300-8,400 Château Lafleur=Vintage 1982 Pomerol Two slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels: four into neck and two base of neck Tasting Note: A spectacular nose of kirsch liqueur, minerals, flowers, and blackberries jumps from the glass of this thick, dark ruby-coloured Lafleur. Over-ripeness, a characteristic of many 1982s (I say that in a positive, not pejorative sense), is apparent in this jammy, unctuously-textured, massive wine. Somewhat of a paradox to taste, it offers notes of maturity, richness, and succulence contrasted with massive structure, muscle, and density. Thrilling to drink, despite its youthful, tannic grip. Anticipated maturity: Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 129 (June 2000) 49 6 bottles per lot 7,500-8,500 Ç8,500-9,500 5

Slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels: two into neck, two base of neck and two top-shoulder In original wooden case without lid Tasting note: A big wine but, unsurprisingly, much more approachable than the Latour. Now, mediumdeep, a lovely colour; nose low-keyed but harmonious, sweet, good fruit, slow to open up; medium sweetness and body, rich, good fruit, grip and balance, its sustaining tannins and acidity under control.

Last noted Dec 2004 ****(*) M.B bottles per lot 12,000-15, ,, Ç14,000-17, ,, 75 12,, 76 12,, A MAGNIFICENT COLLECTION OF EXCEPTIONAL PROVENANCE The following lots, 72 to 185, are in that increasingly rare pool of wines that can claim both the perfect physical condition and long-term storage under single ownership that is rarely to be found in today's intensive fine wine trading environment. Furthermore, the cases have not been moved during that time, residing in the deep, cool caverns of Octavian, Corsham since first arrival in the UK following early purchase during the period 1985 to 2003, mostly soon after each respective vintage. Every case has been recently inspected by Christie's Wine Department staff with wooden cases being opened for the first time since leaving Bordeaux. This is therefore a wonderful opportunity for lovers of top quality Claret to acquire cases with both the crucial attributes of rare pristine provenance and superb physical condition. David Elswood International Head of Wine Department. Château Mouton-Rothschild=Vintage 1982 Very good appearance, original tissues. Levels: lot base of neck or better, lot 79 ten base of neck, two top-shoulder Tasting note: Half a dozen recent notes which can be summarised: still fairly deep, rich, dark cherry, positive but mature rim; sweet, glorious fragrance, distinctive Cabernet aroma, great depth, touch of mocha, brown sugar and mild ginger (you name it); very sweet entry, great length, dry finish with lashings of fruit and flesh in between.

In 1979 the property was bought by Jacques Thienpont, with his father and uncle. In 1984 the vineyard was extended into the vegetable patch opposite, forming the current 2.3 ha. of predominantly Merlot (88%) and Cabernet Franc (12%). With a tiny production from low yields, the elegant, hedonistic wines of Le Pin are now sought after world-wide. From The Complete Bordeaux 2007, Stephen Book.

He owned the larger part of it (0.72 ha). The domaine for which he was share-cropping, Méo Camuzet, owns the rest. Jayer ceded his vines to his heir and nephew, Emmanuel Rouget. This is a wine of grand cru standard; full, powerful, rich, oaky and splendidly concentrated. An essence of a wine; brutal when young, and velvety, mellow and exotic when mature.

40 Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice IMPORTANT NOTICES CHRISTIE S INTEREST IN PROPERTY CONSIGNED FOR AUCTION From time to time, Christie s may offer a lot which it owns in whole or in part. Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol Δ next to its lot number. On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale, which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol º next to the lot number.this symbol will be used both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed all or part of such interest through third parties. When a third party agrees to finance all or part of Christie's interest in a lot, it takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold, and will be remunerated in exchange for accepting this risk. The third party may also bid for the lot.where it does so, and is the successful bidder, the remuneration may be netted against the final purchase price. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. Where Christie s has an ownership or financial interest in every lot in the catalogue, Christie s will not designate each lot with a symbol, but will state its interest at the front of the catalogue. ALL DIMENSIONS ARE APPROXIMATE CONDITION Christie s catalogues include references to condition only in descriptions of multiple works (such as prints, books and wine). For all other property, only alterations or replacement components are listed. Please contact the Specialist Department for a condition report on a particular lot.the nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry will not amount to a full description of condition. Condition reports are usually available on request, and will supplement the catalogue description. In describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. Any statement as to the physical nature or condition of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise, is given honestly and with appropriate care. However, Christie's staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators and accordingly any such statement will not be exhaustive. We therefore recommend that you always view property personally, and, particularly in the case of any items of significant value, that you instruct your own restorer or other professional adviser to report to you in advance of bidding. PROPERTY INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED SPECIES An export licence issued by the Department of the Environment will be required for the export of any item made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) animal material such as ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn etc., and this may take up to eight weeks to obtain. Clients are advised to check with the regulating body in the country of importation regarding any possible restrictions on the importation of items within this category some countries have an absolute ban on the importation of certain materials. For example, the U.S. generally prohibits the importation of articles containing species that it has designated as endangered or threatened if those articles are less than 100 years of age. BIDDING Bidding will be at duty-paid prices at per lot, or as otherwise stated. OPTIONS TO BUY PARCELS A parcel consists of several lots of the same wine of identical lot size,bottle size and description. Bidding will start on the first lot of the parcel and the successful buyer of that lot is entitled to take some or all of the remaining lots in the parcel at the same hammer price. If the buyer of the first lot does not take further lots, the remaining lots of the parcel will be offered in a similar fashion. We recommend that a bid on a parcel lot be placed on the first lot of the parcel.if the bid is superseded, Christie s will automatically move your bid to the next identical lot and so on. In all instances,such bids will be handled at the auctioneer s discretion. WINES AVAILABLE IN BOND Overseas and trade buyers wishing to take wine in bond may do so if the wine is so available and instructions are given at the time of the sale.bidding will also be at duty-paid prices but duty will be deducted from the invoice.the buyer will be responsible for any in bond transfers,deliveries or clearances. WINES SOLD IN BOND ONLY Bonded transfer certificates will be issued upon payment.united Kingdom purchasers will be responsible for duty,clearance,delivery and any other charges applicable from the date of sale. DELIVERIES (DUTY-PAID ONLY, U.K. MAINLAND) The carriage charge for all deliveries lying in cellars within the U.K.mainland is 15 per case or part case plus V.A.T. Wines lying at Christie s are available for collection after payment,providing that 24 hours notice is given. Not less than an entire lot can be collected or delivered to one address. DELIVERIES FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS Christie s will arrange delivery to buyers agents within the U.K.mainland.We work closely with all the major shipping companies and will be happy to advise clients upon the most appropriate shipper if required. CLASSIFICATIONS Bordeaux Classifications in the text are for identification purposes only and are based on the official 1855 classification of the Médoc and other standard sources. All wines are Château-bottled unless stated otherwise. RELEASE OF LOTS The issue of Christie s official Delivery Order will constitute delivery. ULLAGES AND CORKS OF OLD WINES Wines are described in this catalogue as correctly as can be ascertained at time of going to press,but buyers of old wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages,conditions of cases,labels, corks and wine.no returns will be accepted. ULLAGE The amount by which level of wine is short of being full:these levels may vary according to age of the wines and,as far as can be ascertained by inspection prior to the sale,are described in the catalogue. 3/9/08 38

41 Level/Ullage Descriptions and Interpretations (see notes below) BORDEAUX BURGUNDY CAPSULE CAPSULE Catalogue descriptions 1 high fill 2 into neck 3 base of neck 4 top-shoulder 5 upper-shoulder 6 mid-shoulder 7 mid-low shoulder Catalogue descriptions 3cm 5cm 7cm 8 low-shoulder 1 into neck: Level of young wines. Exceptionally good in wines over 10 years old. 2 bottom neck: Perfectly good for any age of wine. Outstandingly good for a wine of 20 years in bottle, or longer. 3 very top-shoulder 4 top-shoulder: Normal for any claret 15 years old or older. 5 upper-shoulder: Slight natural reduction through the easing of the cork and evaporation through cork and capsule. Usually no problem. Acceptable for any wine over 20 years old. Exceptional for pre-1950 wines. 6 mid-shoulder: Probably some weakening of the cork and some risk. Not abnormal for wines 30/40 years of age. Estimates usually take this into account. 7 mid-low-shoulder: Some risk. Low estimates. 8 low-shoulder: Risky and usually only accepted for sale if wine or label exceptionally rare or interesting. Always offered with low estimate. Because of the slope of shoulder it is impractical to describe levels as mid-shoulder, etc.wherever appropriate the level between cork and wine will be measured and catalogued in centimetres. The condition and drinkability of burgundy is less affected by ullage than its equivalent from Bordeaux. For example, a 5 to 7 cm. ullage in a 30-year-old burgundy can be considered normal, indeed good for age, 3.5 to 4 cm. excellent for age, even 7cm. rarely a risk. BOTTLE SIZES magnum = two regular bottles marie-jeanne = three regular bottles double-magnum = four regular bottles jeroboam = four regular bottles (Burgundy, Champagne) jeroboam = six regular bottles (Bordeaux) (or 5 litres) impériale = eight regular bottles (Bordeaux) methuselah = eight regular bottles (Burgundy) SPECIAL NOTICE Though every effort is made to describe or measure the levels of older vintages, corks over 20 years old begin to lose their elasticity and levels can change between cataloguing and sale. Old corks have also been known to fail during or after shipment. We therefore repeat that there is always a risk of cork failure with old wines and due allowance must be made for this. Under no circumstances can an adjustment of price or credit be made after delivery except under the terms stated in Paragraph 5 of the Conditions of Sale. Unless otherwise stated, Bordeaux are château bottled and all wines are bottled in the country of production. Important note regarding opening of cases and listing of levels: Christie s and NYWines general policy is to open all wood cases and to describe levels. Bidders must make allowances for reasonable variations in ullage which may be encountered in cases from the 1984 vintage and older. Additionally, all wine from vintages 1985 and younger have levels bottom neck or better unless otherwise noted. 39

43 Conditions of Sale These Conditions of Sale and the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice set out the terms governing the legal relationship of Christie s and the seller with the buyer.you should read them carefully before bidding. 1. CHRISTIE S AS AGENT Except as otherwise stated Christie s acts as agent for the seller.the contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer. 2. CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION Lots are sold as described and otherwise in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, on the following basis. (a) Condition The nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair.any reference to condition in a catalogue entry will not amount to a full description of condition. Condition reports are usually available on request, and will supplement the catalogue description. In describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included.any statement as to the physical nature or condition of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise, is given honestly and with appropriate care. However, Christie s staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators and accordingly any such statement will not be exhaustive.we therefore recommend that you always view property personally, and, particularly in the case of any items of significant value, that you instruct your own restorer or other professional adviser to report to you in advance of bidding. (b) Cataloguing Practice Our cataloguing practice is explained in the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice, which appear after the catalogue entries. (c) Attribution etc Any statements made by Christie s about any lot, whether orally or in writing,concerning attribution to,for example,an artist,school,or country of origin, or history or provenance,or any date or period,are expressions of our opinion or belief.our opinions and beliefs have been formed honestly and in accordance with the standard of care reasonably to be expected of an auction house of Christie s standing, due regard having been had to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included.it must be clearly understood,however,that, due to the nature of the auction process,we are unable to carry out exhaustive research of the kind undertaken by professional historians and scholars, and also that,as research develops and scholarship and expertise evolve,opinions on these matters may change.we therefore recommend that,particularly in the case of any item of significant value,you seek advice on such matters from your own professional advisers. (d) Estimates Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. (e) Fitness for Purpose Lots sold are enormously varied in terms of age, category and condition, and may be purchased for a variety of purposes. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, no promise is made that a lot is fit for any particular purpose. 3. AT THE SALE (a) Refusal of admission Christie s has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. (b) Registration before bidding Prospective buyers must complete and sign a registration form with his or her name and permanent address, and provide identification before bidding.we may require the production of bank details from which payment will be made or other financial references. (c) Bidding as principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Christie s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Christie s, and that Christie s will only look to the principal for payment. (d) Absentee bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids delivered to us prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in the currency of the place of the sale. Please refer to the catalogue for the Absentee Bids Form. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at the auction these are the highest bids on the lot, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and provided that we have exercised reasonable care in the handling of written bids, the volume of goods is such that we cannot accept liability in any individual instance for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. (e) Telephone bids If a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone but we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. (f) Currency converter At some auctions a currency converter may be operated.errors may occur in the operation of the currency converter.where these arise from circumstances beyond our reasonable control we do not accept liability to bidders who follow the currency converter rather than the actual bidding in the saleroom. (g) Video or digital images At some auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image. We do not accept liability for such errors where they arise for reasons beyond our reasonable control. (h) Reserves Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold.the reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. If any lots are not subject to a reserve, they will be identified with the symbol next to the lot number.the auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller.the auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. (i) Auctioneer s discretion The auctioneer has the right to exercise reasonable discretion in refusing any bid, advancing the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, withdrawing or dividing any lot, combining any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, determining the successful bidder, continuing the bidding, cancelling the sale or reoffering and reselling the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary the sale record maintained by the auctioneer will be conclusive. (j) Successful bid and passing of risk Subject to the auctioneer s reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes to the buyer at the expiration of seven calendar days from the date of the sale or on collection by the buyer if earlier. 4. AFTER THE SALE (a) Buyer s premium In addition to the hammer price,the buyer agrees to pay to us the buyer s premium together with any applicable value added tax.the buyer s premium is 25% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including 25,000,20% of the excess of the hammer price above 25,000 and up to and including 500,000 and 12% of the excess of the hammer price above 500,000. Exceptions:Wine:15% of the final bid price of each lot,vat is payable at the applicable rate. (b) Artist s Resale Right ( Droit de Suite ) If the Artist s Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to the lot the buyer also agrees to pay to us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those Regulations and we undertake to the buyer to pay such amount to the artist s collection agent. Lots affected are identified with the symbol λ next to the lot number. (c) Payment and ownership The buyer must pay the full amount due (comprising the hammer price,buyer s premium and any applicable taxes or resale royalty) immediately after the sale.this applies even if the buyer wishes to export the lot and an export licence is,or may be,required.the buyer will not acquire title to the lot until all amounts due to us from the buyer have been received by us in good cleared funds even in circumstances where we have released the lot to the buyer.

(f) Export licence Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing,the fact that the buyer wishes to apply for an export licence does not affect his or her obligation to make payment immediately after the sale nor our right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment.if the buyer requests us to apply for an export licence on his or her behalf,we shall be entitled to make a charge for this service.we shall not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the buyer where payment is made by the buyer in circumstances where an export licence is required. (g) Remedies for non payment If the buyer fails to make payment in full in good cleared funds within 7 days after the sale, we shall have the right to exercise a number of legal rights and remedies.these include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) to charge interest at an annual rate equal to 5% above the base rate of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc; (ii) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iii) to cancel the sale; (iv) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (v) to pay the seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting buyer; (vi) to set off against any amounts which we, or Christie s International plc, or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, may owe the buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the buyer; (vii) where several amounts are owed by the buyer to us, or to Christie s International plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the buyer so directs; (viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the buyer or to obtain a deposit from the buyer before accepting any bids; (ix) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the buyer,whether by way of pledge,security interest or in any other way,to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located.the buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for such buyer s obligations to us; (x) to take such other action as we deem necessary or appropriate. If we resell the property under paragraph (iv) above, the defaulting buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all reasonable costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the seller under paragraph (v) above, the buyer acknowledges that Christie s shall have all of the rights of the seller, however arising, to pursue the buyer for such amount. (h) Failure to collect purchases Where purchases are not collected within two calendar days from the date of the sale,whether or not payment has been made,we shall be permitted to remove the property to a third party warehouse at the buyer s expense,and only release the items after payment in full has been made of removal,storage,handling,and any other costs reasonably incurred,together with payment of all other amounts due to us.
