We begin with a truly lovely assemblage of classic Claret carefully collected and stored in a custom home wine cellar, maintained at ideal temperature. The wines were sourced upon release, at auction or through reputable retailers. Bid with confidence. 1 Dom Pèrignon 1982 (scuffed and stained label) $ Dom Pèrignon 1985 (lightly scuffed and wrinkled label) ogb $ Louis Roederer Vintage Champagne 1979 Cristal (4 scufffed, 3 stained and 1 lightly torn label, 4 corroded capsules) 4 bottles $2,800-3,800 4 Château Cheval Blanc 1966 St-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé - A (1 base neck, 3 very top shoulder, 2 top shoulder, 6 scuffed and heavily stained labels, 2 lightly torn and 1 loose label, 6 oxidized capsules) 6 half-bottles...it has a typical bouquet for the vintage: tobacco and cigar box, the fruit in the background, tertiary and classic in style. The palate is very well balanced and errs more towards the Left Bank than the Right Bank: structured, firm, aloof but compelling. (94pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, July 2016) $1,200-1,500 5 Château Cheval Blanc 1978 St-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé (2 base neck, 1 top shoulder, 3 heavily bin-soiled, 8 scuffed, 2 stained and 1 lightly torn label, 4 scuffed capsules) 8 bottles 7 No lot 8 Château Figeac 1966 St-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé - B (2 very top shoulder, 2 bin-soiled, 1 scuffed, 3 stained and 1 wrinkled label, 2 wrinkled and 1 loose capsule) 4 bottles The 1966 Figeac is a brilliant Saint Emilion that must rank as one of the best Right Banks of the vintage that is more reputed for its Left Bank wines. Deep in color, it has a magnificent, majestic bouquet that knocks you out: very perfumed and floral with a hint of peppermint developing with time. It is actually quite exotic for the normally conservative 1966 vintage. The palate is beautifully balanced and refined, here quite Left Bank in style with a fine line of acidity, filigree tannin and an effortless finish that will leave a Cheshire cat grin on your face. (96pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #226, Aug 2016) $ Château Haut-Brion 1979 Graves 1er Grand Cru Classé (heavily bin-soiled label) One of the top three or four wines of the vintage, the 1979 Haut- Brion has put on weight in its evolution in the bottle, and although fully mature, shows no signs of decline. The color is a dark garnet with some amber at the edge. The wine shows a very sweet nose of fruitcake intermixed with damp earth, tobacco, smoke, liquid mineral, black currants, and a hint of creosote. Medium to full-bodied, with excellent power and lushness, this is an atypically rich, layered, authoritatively flavorful wine that seems almost out of character for the vintage. (93pts Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 4th Ed., Dec 2002) $ Chateau La Grave 1982 Pomerol (7 base neck, 8 very top shoulder, 6 lightly stained, 17 lightly scuffed and 5 wrinkled labels) 5 bottles and 16 half-bottles $ $2,000-2,500 6 Château Clerc-Milon 1990 Pauillac 5me Cru Classé (7 base neck, 12 lightly wrinkled labels) owc Lots of dried fruit, currant and plum character. Medium- to fullbodied, with fine tannins and a pretty finish. (90pts Wine Spectator, Aug 2000) $ Fine & Rare Wines 5

7 11 Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1982 Graves Cru Classé (lightly scuffed and wrinkled label, slight signs of past seepage) 1 double magnum A monumental wine, this historic La Mission-Haut-Brion was the last vintage made by the descendants of the Woltner family, who had owned this estate for decades prior to selling it to their neighbors, the Dillon family (the American owners of cross-street rival, Chateau Haut-Brion). The 1982 admirably demonstrates the magnificence of La Mission as well as the singularity of this amazing terroir. I had the good fortune of tasting it from barrel (where it was an enormous Graves fruit bomb) and watching it develop more nuances in bottle. At age 30, it remains a majestic, multidimensional, profound Bordeaux with another years of life ahead of it. It s no secret that the great vintages of Bordeaux have levels of fruit extract and depth that go beyond other years. It is this fruit, often referred to as fat or concentration, that takes decades to dissipate and fade. As it does so, the extraordinary aromatic expression of the terroir asserts itself. Remarkably, the 1982 is still in late adolescence and has not yet reached its peak. Early in my career, much of my reputation was established on calling this vintage correctly, but I never in my wildest dreams thought the 1982s would mature as slowly and last as long as some seem capable of doing. One of the handful of perfect wines of the vintage, the La Mission still possesses a remarkably dense ruby/purple color with only a slight garnet and lightening at the edge. The fruit-dominated aromatics reveal lots of cassis, blueberry, scorched earth, black truffle, incense, graphite and high-class, unsmoked cigar tobacco-like notes. Still exhibiting remarkable concentration, enormous body, silky sweet tannin, and no perceptible acidity, the 1982 remains fresh, delineated and super-compelling. A massive La Mission made by the Dewravin family and their winemakers, all of whom were dismissed the following year when the estate was acquired by Haut-Brion, this modern day legend shows no signs of decline. In fact, it may not have yet reached its peak. (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #202, Aug 2012) $5,000-7, Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1982 Graves Cru Classé 4 half-bottles $1,600-2, Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1982 Graves Cru Classé (6 scuffed and 1 wrinkled label, 3 wrinkled capsules) 9 bottles $7,500-9, Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1988 Graves Cru Classé (4 scuffed, 2 wrinkled and 1 bin-soiled label, 3 slight signs of past seepage due to overfill, 2 scuffed capsules) 11 Firm, masculine and tannic with plenty of earth, truffle, asphalt and volcanic characteristics, this burly La Mission-Haut-Brion is bordering on being monolithic/foursquare. It reveals good body as well as plenty of tannin, adequate acidity, a dark plum/garnet color, and classic La Mission terroir characteristics of smoke, scorched earth, spice, roasted meats and camphor. (90pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #202, Aug 2012) $2,200-3,000 6 BONHAMS

8 15 Château Lafite Rothschild 1979 (1 scuffed and stained, and 1 tissue-stained label) $ Château Lafite Rothschild 1981 (1 base neck, 4 wrinkled and 1 tissue stained label) 6 bottles It reveals the classic Lafite bouquet of red and black fruits, cedar, fruitcake, and tobacco-like aromas. In the mouth, this medium ruby/ garnet-colored wine displays a delicacy of fruit and sweet attack, but subtle, well-defined flavors ranging from tobacco, cigar box, cedar, and fruitcake. This is a savory, soft Lafite-Rothschild that is pleasing to both the intellect and the palate. (91pts Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Ed., Dec 1997) $2,200-3, Château Lafite Rothschild 1982 (5 base neck, 1 very top shoulder, 2 lightly scuffed capsules, 1 slightly depressed and 1 slightly protruding cork) 10 bottles Still backward with a deep ruby/plum color revealing only a touch of lightening at the edge, the wine offers up an extraordinary nose of caramelized herbs, smoke, cedar, pen ink, black currants, and earth. The gorgeous aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, plump, rich, fleshy wine with low acidity. With 6-8 hours decanting in a closed decanter, it will offer beautiful drinking, but it needs another 5-8 years to reach full maturity. It is capable of lasting years. (97+pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009) $22,000-30, Château Lafite Rothschild 1982 (1 top shoulder, 3 very high shoulder, 1 high shoulder, 7 scuffed, 4 stained and 3 lightly stained labels, 1 wrinkled capsule) 7 half-bottles $7,500-9, Château Lafite Rothschild 1985 (4 base neck, 7 scuffed, 4 bin-soiled, 1 stained and 2 torn labels, 2 slight signs of past seepage, 2 scuffed, 1 torn and 1 corroded capsule) 6 bottles It has a beautiful nose that is just classic Lafite. It is still fresh yet understated, stately even, with tobacco and cedar-tinged red berry fruit. It is not a powerful bouquet, but there is something...magnetic about it. The palate is still youthful with fine tannin, like the nose, understated yet very well balanced. The acidity here is perfectly judged with an almost nonchalant finish. You almost miss its virtues - it is just so self-effacing and insouciant. Just a really lovely Lafite- Rothschild at the peak of its powers. (93pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, July 2016) 20 Château Lafite Rothschild 1986 (2 heavily bin-soiled labels, 1 slight sign of past seepage and 1 scuffed capsule) This is beautifully defined, still full of energy, with copious blackberry, clove, leather and graphite aromas that seem to gain momentum in the glass. The palate is extremely well balanced with a crystalline quality, filigree tannin, perfectly pitched acidity, a quintessential Lafite- Rothschild with a sense of energy and focus undiminished by time. This finish displays immense purity and refinement, one of the most mineral-driven Lafites that I have encountered, whilst the aftertaste seems to linger for over one minute. (98pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #228, Dec 2016) $1,600-2, Château Lafite Rothschild bottles Broodingly backward and in need of considerable bottle age, the 1988 is a classic expression of Lafite. This deeply-colored wine exhibits the tell-tale Lafite bouquet of cedar, subtle herbs, dried pit fruits, minerals, and cassis. Extremely concentrated, with brilliantly focused flavors and huge tannins, this backward, yet impressively endowed Lafite-Rothschild may well turn out to be the wine of the vintage! (94pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95, Oct 1994) $4,800-6, Château Lafite Rothschild 1989 (3 lightly scuffed labels, 10 scuffed capsules and 2 slightly protruding corks) Subtle, yet rich and decadent, offering meat, sweet berry and fresh leather on the nose. Full and very soft, with velvety tannins and a long, fruity finish. This has so much ripe fruit. Reserved and firm, this is turning to a very fine and shy Lafite. (93pts Wine Spectator, 2010) $6,000-8, Château Lafite Rothschild 1990 (1 base neck, 2 bin-soiled, 3 scuffed and 1 nicked label, 1 wrinkled and scuffed capsule) 7 bottles The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment. While it still possesses some firmness, and performs like a late adolescent in terms of its evolution, it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine that should hit its peak in 5-8 years, and last for more. (96pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 183, June 2009) $4,000-5,000 $2,800-3,800 Fine & Rare Wines 7

9 24 Château Lafite Rothschild 1998 (6 scuffed labels) In a less than perfect Medoc vintage, it has been spectacular since birth, putting on more weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored 1998 is close to perfection. The spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky, mineral, and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass. The wine is elegant yet profoundly rich, revealing the essence of Lafite s character. The tannin is sweet, and the wine is spectacularly layered yet never heavy. The finish is sweet, super-rich, yet impeccably balanced and long (50+ seconds). (98pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #134, April 2001) $6,500-8, Château Lafite Rothschild 1998 (10 scuffed labels) $6,500-8, Château Lafite Rothschild 1999 It is a quintessential offering from Lafite Rothschild. This prodigious wine is both elegant and intensely flavored, and almost diaphanous in its layers that unfold with no heaviness. An opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil, graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is medium-bodied, with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony. This extraordinary Lafite increasingly appears to be a modern day clone of the majestic (95pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #140, April 2002) $6,000-8, Château Lafite Rothschild 1999 $6,000-8, Château Lafite Rothschild 1999 (4 scuffed labels) 4 bottles $2,000-3, Château Lafite Rothschild 2000 (1 lightly scuffed label)...the wine still has a dark ruby/purple color and an extraordinarily youthful nose of graphite, black currants, sweet, unsmoked cigar tobacco, and flowers. The wine is rich, medium to full-bodied, but has that ethereal elegance and purity that is always Lafite. I originally predicted that it would first reach maturity in 2011, but I would push that back by 5-7 years now, although it has years of life in front of it. Owners of this beauty are probably best advised to forget it for 5 years. (98+pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #189, June 2010) $13,000-17, Château Lafite Rothschild 2003 (2 scuffed and 1 heavily scuffed label) 6 bottles Composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it exhibits a dense ruby/purple color to the rim along with a luxurious bouquet of cedarwood, lead pencil shaving, white chocolate, cocoa and cassis. Fat, rich, opulent and full-bodied with low acidity and stunning seductiveness and complexity, this noble wine possesses a bountiful, generous, heady style. It is just coming into its plateau of maturity where it should hold for years. This is one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage make no mistake about that. (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #214, Aug 2014) $3,800-4, Château Latour 1981 (lightly bin-soiled and wrinkled label) 1 magnum The 1981 tastes remarkably velvety and supple for such a young Latour--not that this is a malevolent occurrence--because the excellence, complexity, and richness of the wine are still present. The color is dark ruby, the bouquet offers plenty of ripe cassis and spicy oak, and the flavor is generous, silky, moderately tannic, and long in the finish. (88pts Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Ed., Dec 1997) $ No lot 33 Château Latour 1981 (high to mid-shoulder, lightly scuffed, stained and wrinkled label, sign of past seepage, corroded capsule) 1 double magnum $1,100-1, Château Latour 1981 (4 base neck, 6 glue-stained, 5 scuffed and 4 wrinkled labels) 5 bottles $1,100-1,400 8 BONHAMS

10 35 Château Latour 1982 (4 base neck, 1 very top shoulder, 8 scuffed, and 1 lightly bin-soiled and stained label, 6 slightly depressed corks) It is an amazing wine, and on several occasions, I have actually picked it as a right bank Pomerol because of the lushness and succulence of the cedary, blackberry, black currant fruit. This vintage has always tasted great, even in its youth, and revealed a precociousness that one does not associate with this Chateau. However, the 1982 is still evolving at a glacial pace. The concentration remains remarkable, and the wine is a full-bodied, exuberant, rich, classic Pauillac in its aromatic and flavor profiles. (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009) $14,000-18, Château Latour 1988 (11 scuffed labels, 2 slight signs of past seepage, 1 slightly protruding cork) The best showing yet for a wine from this under-rated vintage, the dark garnet-colored 1988 Latour reveals slight amber at the edge. A bouquet of melted tar, plums, black currants, cedar, and underbrush is followed by a sweet entry, with medium to full body, excellent ripeness, and mature tannin. It is a classic, elegant Latour with more meaty, vegetable-like flavors than are found in a riper year, such as 1989 and (91pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129, June 2000) $4,200-5, Château Latour 1998 (6 scuffed and 1 lightly bin-soiled label) 6 bottles Plenty of raspberry, dark chocolate and mint on the nose. Fullbodied, with licorice and sweet tobacco character and a cedar undertone. Outstanding. (90pts Wine Spectator, 2009) $1,900-2, Château Latour 1999 (11 scuffed and 1 bin-soiled label) Readers looking for a modern day version of Latour s magnificent 1962 or 1971 should check out the sensational 1999 Latour. It is a big, concentrated offering, exhibiting a dense ruby/purple color, and a classic nose of minerals, black currants, leather, and vanilla. The wine is long, ripe, and medium-bodied, with high levels of sweet tannin. (94pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #140, April 2002) 40 Château Latour 2000 (12 stained and scuffed labels) The extremely rich, black/purple color to the rim is followed by a wine with some subtle smoke, loads of minerals, a hint of vanilla, and plenty of creme de cassis as well as roasted meat and a slight scorched earth character. Broad, savory, and rich... (98pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #189, June 2010) $8,000-11, Chateau Le Bon Pasteur 1982 Pomerol (3 bin-soiled, 5 scuffed and 3 wrinkled labels, 2 scuffed capsules and 1 slightly depressed cork) 5 bottles A classic Pomerol, it boasts a dark garnet color with only slight lightening at the edge as well as sensational aromas of creme brulee, chocolate-covered black cherries and currants, figs, and plums, fullbodied, powerful, rich flavors, and tremendous purity, opulence, and length. (96pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009) $850-1, Château Lynch-Bages 1986 Pauillac 5me Cru Classé (2 base neck, 8 scuffed, 4 lightly stained and 1 wine stained label) 8 bottles The 1986 Lynch Bages has a knockout bouquet that wraps its arms around you with all its loveliness: pure black cherries, mint and cedar, even a touch of glycerine still there. Vibrant and youthful. The palate is beautifully balanced, crisp and taut, linear but very precise with a fine bead of acidity. You just fall for the harmony of this Lynch Bages, the intensity of fruit that seems undiminished on the finish. (94pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #228, Dec 2016) $1,000-1, Château Margaux 1947 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (low shoulder, heavily stained and scuffed label, sign of past seepage, scuffed and wrinkled capsule) I was surprised at just how good the 1947 is because I had never been that impressed with most of the Medocs from that vintage. Among the first-growths in 1947, it is superior to Lafite and Latour, and just behind the great Mouton. Quite perfumed, rich, and full bodied... (92pts Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Ed., Dec 1997) $ $4,200-5, Château Latour 1999 (4 scuffed labels and 1 slightly depressed cork) 6 bottles $2,000-2,800 Fine & Rare Wines 9

11 44 Château Margaux 1981 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (2 base neck, 3 very top shoulder, 7 scuffed, 2 bin-soiled and 1 wrinkled label) 7 bottles In weight and texture, the 1981 Margaux is closest in style to the It is an outstanding wine, even in the company of the monumental wines of 1982, 1983, and 1986, although it does not have the power and weight of these vintages. It is still very dark ruby/ purple-colored. The aromatics suggest ripe cassis fruit, spicy vanillin oakiness, and violets. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, concentrated, tannic, and extremely long. (91pts Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Ed., Dec 1997) $1,500-2, Château Margaux 1981 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (heavily stained and scuffed label) 1 magnum $ Château Margaux 1982 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (base neck, scuffed and bin-soiled label)...fragrant and beautifully defined on the nose that on this occasion offered a more conspicuous graphite scent, which lent it a Pauillaclike personality. Allowing the wine to open and aerate, the traits one associates with the property emerge wilted violets and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and mineral-laden, that suggestion of candied orange peel on the entry segueing into layers of pure red and black fruit. There is always something effortless about this Chateau Margaux and the pixelation on the finish is up there with the very best. (97pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #227, Oct 2016) $ Château Margaux 1986 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (2 scuffed and lightly stained labels) It has an exquisite bouquet that is now fully mature, with a mixture of red and black fruit, violets, pastilles and hints of cold stone. It blossoms in the glass, gaining intensity all the time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a more robust Margaux as you would expect given the vintage, clearly with firm backbone, more straight-laced than the 1985 or Yet there is wonderful delineation and focus here. (97pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #228, Dec 2016) 48 Château Margaux 1995 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (6 scuffed labels and capsules) 6 bottles The color is opaque ruby/purple. The nose offers aromas of licorice and sweet smoky new oak intermixed with jammy black fruits, licorice, and minerals. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with extraordinary richness, fabulous equilibrium, and hefty tannin in the finish. In spite of its large size and youthfulness, this wine is user-friendly and accessible. This is a thrilling Margaux... (95pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #115, Feb 1998) $2,000-2, Château Margaux 1998 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (11 scuffed and 2 bin-soiled labels, 3 scuffed and 1 torn capsule) 1s The 1998 Margaux s color is a dense ruby/purple. The wine is tannic and austere, but elegant, with notes of asphalt, blackberries, acacia flowers, and sweet, toasty oak. Subtle, rich, nicely-textured, and medium-bodied, it is built for the long haul. (91pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #134, April 2001) $3,000-4, Château Margaux 1999 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (10 lightly scuffed labels and 9 scuffed capsules) The 1999 Chateau Margaux has been the standout First Growth since I first tasted the wine from barrel. Now reaching its plateau of maturity, it has an understated nose at first, armed with impressive mineralité with a gorgeous graphite seam. The definition and precision here is top class. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth in texture, very harmonious and assured, surprisingly with some new oak still to be fully assimilated into the wine. The signature Margaux traits of crushed black cherries and violets comes through towards the finish, suggestions of raspberry reserve and desiccated orange peel enhancing the long finish. (95pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #227, Oct 2016) $3,800-4, Château Margaux 1999 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (9 scuffed labels and 4 scuffed capsules) 1s $3,500-4,500 $ BONHAMS

12 52 Château Margaux 2000 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (2 scuffed and 1 lightly bin-soiled label) 1s Noticeably deep in color, the bouquet rivets you to the seat with copious red berry fruit, clove and truffle, hints of cedar emerging with time. As the aromatics open and aerate, the fruit profile seems to darken and manifests blackcurrants and bilberries. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin. There is immense depth and symmetry conveyed by this First Growth, quite masculine for the estate with a gentle but insistent grip. It is a brilliant wine that flirts with perfection. (99pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #229, Feb 2017) $7,000-9, Château Margaux 2003 Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé (2 lightly bin-soiled, 6 scuffed and 3 stained labels, 1 stained capsule) 6 bottles This shows the heat of the vintage, revealing a hint of torrefaction amid the coffee, tobacco, currant and blackberry aromas, and a decidedly singed plum skin edge along the core of blackberry and black currant flavors. The tannins are fine-grained, the acidity evident and the finish long and beguiling. (95pts Wine Spectator, 2014) $2,200-2, Château Mouton Rothschild 1970 (2) (2 low shoulder, 2 heavily stained and scuffed labels) Château Mouton Rothschild 1973 (1) (high shoulder, heavily stained label, slightly depressed cork and scuffed capsule) Château Mouton Rothschild 1976 (3) (1 very top, 1 very high and 1 high shoulder, 2 heavily stained and 2 scuffed labels, 1 slight sign of past seepage and 2 corroded capsules) Château Mouton Rothschild 1979 (1 magnum) (heavily water damaged, mildewed and torn label, sign of past seepage, scuffed capsule) 6 bottles and 1 magnum $1,800-2, Château Mouton Rothschild 1985 (1 base neck, 1 very top shoulder, 2 bin-soiled, 1 heavily bin-soiled and 2 wrinkled labels, 2 slight signs of past seepage, 1 corroded capsule) The rich, complex, well-developed bouquet of oriental spices, toasty oak, herbs, and ripe fruit is wonderful. On the palate, the wine is also rich, forward, long, and sexy. (90pts Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Ed., Dec 1997) $ Château Mouton Rothschild 1985 (heavily water and mildew damaged, torn label, torn capsule) 1 magnum $ Château Mouton Rothschild 1986 (base neck, stained and scuffed label) It has a powerful and intense bouquet as always: exemplary graphite and cedar scents, a touch of black pepper and incense. It seems to unfurl in the glass, like a motor revving its engine. The palate is beautifully balanced with its trademark firm tannic structure, a Mouton-Rothschild with backbone and masculinity. Layers of black fruit intermingling with mint and graphite, a hint of licorice emanating from the Merlot, gently fanning out and my God, it is incredibly long. (100pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #228, Dec 2016) $ Château Mouton Rothschild 1994 (6 bin-soiled, 4 lightly torn, 1 stained and 11 wrinkled labels, 4 slight signs of past seepage due to overfill) The wine exhibits a dense, saturated purple color, followed by a classic Mouton nose of sweet black fruits intermingled with smoke, pain grillee, spice, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, with outstanding concentration, a layered feel, plenty of tannin, and rich, concentrated fruit, this wine is similar to the fine (91pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #109, Feb 1997) $3,200-4, Château Mouton Rothschild 1995 (heavily water damaged and mildew stained, loosened label, wrinkled and loose capsule) 1 magnum...it reveals an opaque purple color, and reluctant aromas of cassis, truffles, coffee, licorice, and spice. In the mouth, the wine is great stuff, with superb density, a full-bodied personality, rich mid-palate, and a layered, profound finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. (95pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #115, Feb 1998) $ Château Mouton Rothschild 1996 (12 scuffed and wrinkled labels) Approaching 20 years old, the nose is now open for business but remaining classic in style, a mixture of red and black fruit, hickory, cedar and just a hint of lavender. It is very complex and beautifully defined.

Fleshy, ripe, and mouth-filling, with low acidity, soft tannin, and admirable concentration and length... (90pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #128, April 2000) 63 Château Mouton Rothschild 1998 (12 scuffed and wrinkled labels, 1 slightly depressed cork) Like many of its peers, the 1998 has filled out spectacularly. Now in the bottle, this opaque black/purple-colored offering has increased in stature, richness, and size. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc (57% of the production was utilized), it is an extremely powerful, super-concentrated wine offering notes of roasted espresso, creme de cassis, smoke, new saddle leather, graphite, and licorice. It is massive, with awesome concentration, mouth-searing tannin levels, and a saturated flavor profile that grips the mouth with considerable intensity.

14 64 Château Mouton Rothschild 1999 (12 wrinkled and scuffed labels) It has a clean and precise bouquet - you could almost describe this as dainty, which I mean in a positive sense. The fruit is beautifully delineated, almost pastille-like with subtle floral scents emerging with time. The palate is fresh on the entry with supple red berries pierced by a fine line of acidity. No, it is not complex and it has lost a little substance in recent years, yet it is well balanced with sufficient depth and body on the tobacco and cedar-tinged finish.

Of course, one can t drink the glass, but this is a top-flight Mouton Rothschild, eclipsed only by the 2006 and A rich, tannic, earthy style, with loads of creme de cassis and floral notes, the final blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot is a full-bodied wine with plenty of coffee, earth, chocolatey notes, and still plenty of tannin to resolve.

The color is a dark garnet with some amber at the edge. The wine shows a very sweet nose of fruitcake intermixed with damp earth, tobacco, smoke, liquid mineral, black currants, and a hint of creosote. Medium to full-bodied, with excellent power and lushness, this is an atypically rich, layered, authoritatively flavorful wine that seems almost out of character for the vintage.

It lacks the horsepower of the 1989 and 1990, but it is delineated and winsome. The palate is medium-bodied and is brimming over with both finesse and intensity. The quality of the vintage still comes through here, surprisingly deep and voluminous, not as structured as subsequent vintages, but gently fanning out with a subtle wild mushroom note betraying its age on the aftertaste. (94pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, July 2016) $1,000-1, Château La Conseillante 1998 Pomerol (3 heavily damp-stained, torn and incomplete labels with tissue adhering) An evolved dark plum/garnet color is followed by captivating, sexy, raspberry, soy, Asian spice, kirsch liqueur, and toasty vanillin aromas.

The fruit-dominated aromatics reveal lots of cassis, blueberry, scorched earth, black truffle, incense, graphite and high-class, unsmoked cigar tobacco-like notes. Still exhibiting remarkable concentration, enormous body, silky sweet tannin, and no perceptible acidity, the 1982 remains fresh, delineated and super-compelling.

The intoxicatingly perfumed nose of lead pencil, pain grille, red and black fruits, minerals, and roasted herbs is provocative. In the mouth, this wine displays considerable body for a Lafite, plenty of power, and a fleshy, rich, sweet mid-palate. Long, elegant, plump, and surprisingly fleshy... (93pts Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Ed., Dec 1997) $3,200-4, Château Lafite Rothschild 1986 (lightly worn capsule) This is beautifully defined, still full of energy, with copious blackberry, clove, leather and graphite aromas that seem to gain momentum in the glass. The palate is extremely well balanced with a crystalline quality, filigree tannin, perfectly pitched acidity, a quintessential Lafite- Rothschild with a sense of energy and focus undiminished by time. This finish displays immense purity and refinement, one of the most mineral-driven Lafites that I have encountered, whilst the aftertaste seems to linger for over one minute. It must rank as one of the finest wines from the estate.

A touch of roasted espresso bean is also present. The wine has great concentration, a magnificent, full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning purity, and well-integrated acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood.

One of the three bottles served at the Chateau s tasting revealed a surprisingly aggressive, minty, herbaceous nose, but the other two bottles were liquid perfection, exhibiting fragrant, cedary, truffle, leather, mineral, and sweet, jammy aromatics, full-bodied, voluptuous textures, exquisite purity and concentration, and a layered, highly-nuanced finish that represents the essence of compellingly great wine.

Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors. The tannins are still there, and, at least from my cellar, this 1982 does not appear to have changed much in the last years. One wonders how much patience admirers of this brilliant St.-Julien will continue to exhibit. (95pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009) $2,000-2, BONHAMS

This bottle, of perfect provenance, was captivating on the nose - still youthful and jam-packed with very pure and intense black and red fruit, mixed with cedar and graphite notes that ebb away as the Merlot component takes over and delivers strawberry and undergrowth scents. The palate retains its exquisite balance thanks to its fine tannin and layers of black, graphite-infused fruit that ease you into its sumptuous finish.

Extra tobacco, alder and juniper accents stud the finish, which still has plenty of grip. (95pts Wine Spectator, 2014) $ Château Pichon-Lalande 2000 Pauillac 2me Cru Classé (3 nicked labels) Dense purple in color, with loads of coffee, mocha, creme de cassis, and chocolate notes, this is a somewhat unusual blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and a whooping 10% Petit Verdot, with a little bit of Cabernet Franc. The Petit Verdot certainly gives the wine more of a tapenade, floral note, which I think can be interpreted by some as herbal.

It is medium to full-bodied, firmly structured, and reminiscent of a top first- or secondgrowth Bordeaux because of the tannin structure and austerity. It is an interesting, almost atypical wine for this vintage in Napa, but the Eisele Vineyard is a world unto its own, so I am not actually surprised.

Extremely full-bodied, with fabulous intensity, great purity, awesome length, and a finish that lasts over a minute, this classic is a must purchase.

35 A Complete Vertical of Araujo estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Eisele Vineyard from a Distinguished West Coast Collector. The famed Eisele in its most revered expression. The flagship wine of Bart and Daphne Araujo, from 1994 through 2007 in wood-cased double-magnums arrives to Bonhams from our generous consignor whose quest to collect the best is to our bidders benefit today! This historical site has been producing world-class Cabernet for decades, and under the Araujo s ownership, earned endless critical acclaim but also, and most importantly a legion of faithful collectors. Following the first to make Cabernet Sauvignon from this acclaimed site (Paul Draper of Ridge in 1971, and Joseph Phelps in the 80s), Bart and Daphne Araujo purchased the Eisele Vineyard in 1990 and produced their debut vintage in The Araujos viewed themselves as stewards of the vineyard rather than owners, and as such adopted organic and biodynamic farming practices, ensuring the purest expression of the site s terroir. Bart and Daphne were involved in all aspects of the Araujo winery from winemaking to marketing and farming. The flagship Cabernet Sauvignon earned accolades vintage after vintage, becoming one of California s first true blue chip wines. In addition, the Araujos produced Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and very rarely, Viognier. The Araujo family sold their winery and vineyard in 2013 to Francois Pinault, owner of Chateau Latour, and 2012 is the last vintage bearing the Araujo name. This is an awesome opportunity to cellar a legendary wine and a championed part of Napa history. The wines were acquired directly from the winery and stored in a beautiful custom home wine cellar. One of the most extraordinary vineyards of Napa Valley is the Eisele Vineyard, which boasts a 40+ year history of producing compelling wines. It is hard to argue with the track record of this hallowed ground... -Robert Parker 34 BONHAMS

38 219 Grands-Échézeaux 1970 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (u.4.8 cm, scuffed, bin-soiled label, sign of past seepage, #15715) The highly expressive nose is a pretty mix of spice, earth and secondary fruit aromas that evidence more than a trace of sous bois. The now lighter weight flavors are fully resolved but not without reasonably good power, particularly in the context of what was generally a higher yield vintage, all wrapped in a lingering and reasonably well-balanced finish.

39 Château Haut-Brion 1970 Graves 1er Grand Cru Classé (u. 6cm or better, 6 damp-stained and 2 scuffed labels, 2 signs of past seepage, 1 perforated capsule) 6 bottles There is plenty of vigor on the nose with dashing red berry fruit, cedar and black olive - just very Haut-Brion.The palate is mediumbodied, well balanced and fresh, nothing over-ambitious, just a Claret in the traditional sense of the word that gently builds towards a sousbois dominated finish. (92pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, July 2016) $1,300-1, Château Lafite Rothschild 1961 (1 high shoulder, to high to mid-shoulder, 1 mid-shoulder, 2 dampstained labels and 1 nicked, 1 torn capsule) The bouquet is utterly refined, in some ways not as complex as more recent vintages, yet it has a sense of authority and purpose. Vestiges of faded dark fruit mix with scents of an antique mahogany bureau and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, degraded tannin. Surprisingly youthful, it is undoubtedly beautifully balanced with perfectly judged acidity.

(90pts Wine Spectator, Dec 1997) $ Château Latour 1961 (mid-to-low shoulder, lightly wrinkled and stained label, nicked capsule) Port-like, with an unctuous texture, and a dark garnet color with considerable amber at the edge, the 1961 Latour possesses a viscosity and thickness. One of the three bottles served at the Chateau s tasting revealed a surprisingly aggressive, minty, herbaceous nose, but the other two bottles were liquid perfection, exhibiting fragrant, cedary, truffle, leather, mineral, and sweet, jammy aromatics, full-bodied, voluptuous textures, exquisite purity and concentration, and a layered, highly-nuanced finish that represents the essence of compellingly great wine.

40 236 Château Latour 1966 (3 very high shoulder, 2 high shoulder, 3 lightly damp-stained and 2 nicked labels, 2 nicked and 1 lightly corroded capsule) 5 bottles The 1966 Latour remains an exemplar of the vintage, certainly one of the best, if not the best Left Bank wine of the vintage. Here, served blind, its quality was a beacon, quintessentially Pauillac with that trademark graphite seam through the intense black fruit, cold stone and a touch of tobacco. It remains undimmed by its age (though this was served from a magnum of impeccable provenance). The palate is medium-bodied and that graphite theme continues unabated, flanked by beautiful, precise and pure vestiges of black fruit. Pure class are the final two words of my tasting note and at 50 years old, they sum up this immensely impressive Château Latour. (96pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #227, Oct 2016) $2,800-3, Château Latour 1970 (1 base neck, 1 very top shoulder, 2 lightly wrinkled labels, 1 scuffed label) $ Château Pétrus 1990 Pomerol (1 very top shoulder, 3 lightly wrinkled, lightly stained and 4 nicked labels, 1 torn and lightly worn capsule) The 1990 Petrus remains incredibly young, one of the least evolved wines of the vintage (along with Montrose and Beausejour-Duffau). This dense ruby/purple-colored effort is beginning to hint at the massive richness and full-bodied intensity lurking beneath its wall of tannin. The vintage s sweetness, low acidity, and velvety tannins are present in abundance, and the wine is massive in the mouth as well as incredibly pure and well-delineated. I thought it would be drinkable by now, but it appears another 5-10 years will pass before it begins to reach its plateau of maturity. This wine is capable of lasting at least four more decades. An incredible achievement!

Wonderfully sweet cedar and fruitcake notes are intermixed with hints of creme de cassis, licorice, and earthy forest floor. It is full-bodied and tannic, with everything in place, but like so many wines that come from Leoville Barton, it makes a mockery of many modern-day consumers wanting a wine for immediate gratification. Those who bought it should continue to exercise patience and be proud to own a wonderful classic with five decades of longevity ahead of it.

It has wonderful clarity. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh as a daisy on the entry with a killer line of acidity that offsets those vibrant black and red fruits. There is energy here, vivacity, as if this Château Margaux suddenly realized its true potential after all these years.

(90pts Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Ed., Dec 1997) $ Château Mouton Rothschild 1995 (heavily bin-soiled, scuffed and wrinkled label)...an opaque purple color, and reluctant aromas of cassis, truffles, coffee, licorice, and spice. In the mouth, the wine is great stuff, with superb density, a full-bodied personality, rich mid-palate, and a layered, profound finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. (95pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #115, Feb 1998) $ Château Mouton Rothschild 1997 (bin-soiled, scuffed and wrinkled label) One of the most forward and developed Moutons over recent years, it possesses all the charm and fleshiness this vintage can provide. A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, and an open-knit nose of cedar wood, blackberry liqueur, cassis, and coffee.

It is unashamedly rich on the entry: intense and vibrant with layers of black cherry and cassis fruit pierced by a fine line of acidity.

The wine possesses a black/ruby/purple color, an intense, smoky, cassis, and mineral-scented nose, full body, superb density, a soft attack, good grip, and a long, impressively endowed finish.

(97pts Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate #223, March 2016) $ Hermitage Blanc 2003 J.L. Chave (lightly bin-soiled label) Another sensational white that made my eyes roll back in my head, the 2003 Hermitage Blanc is even more over the top and decadent than the 09. Possessing almost no acidity, it s a flamboyant, massively concentrated, decadent and heady effort that s overflowing with notions of honey, caramelized oranges, currants, licorice and buttered hazelnuts. Staying fresh and lively, it s a monumental Hermitage Blanc that will probably live forever on its sheer concentration.

This bottle represented one of the best that I have encountered. Iridescent in color, the bouquet soars from the glass, a pyrotechnic display of quince, Clementine, honey and a touch of aszu, lending it a slight Tokaji-like personality. It is beautifully defined and intense. The palate is pure and detailed with a killer line of acidity, vibrant honeyed fruit and a mellifluous finish that is now fully expressive.

It fans out gloriously with a sustained tertiary finish that completes what is a wondrous La Mission Haut-Brion from Jean-Philippe Delmas and his team. (96pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #227, Oct 2016) $ Château Lafite Rothschild 1990 (1 base neck) The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment. While it still possesses some firmness, and performs like a late adolescent in terms of its evolution, it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine that should hit its peak in 5-8 years, and last for more.

The bouquet is beautifully defined with intense black cherries, cedar, mint and a touch of oyster shell that seems to gain intensity in the glass. The palate is seamless from start to finish, extraordinarily pure, the 70% new oak totally assimilated of course, impressive weight and power allied with genuine finesse and tension towards the silky smooth finish.

It has an exquisite bouquet that is now fully mature, with a mixture of red and black fruit, violets, pastilles and hints of cold stone. It blossoms in the glass, gaining intensity all the time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a more robust Margaux as you would expect given the vintage, clearly with firm backbone, more straightlaced than the 1985 or Yet there is wonderful delineation and focus here. If you seek strictness and classicism in a wine, then this is the place to come, plus there is superb mineralité and tension on the ferrous finish. (97pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #228, Dec 2016) $1,100-1, Château Montrose 1990 St-Estèphe 2me Cru Classé (1 bin soiled label) The bouquet is cut from a different cloth to the 1989 and attests to that warm vintage: hickory, clove, undergrowth and wild fennel, later garrigue-like scents and terracotta, the latter two more pronounced on the bottle format compared to the youthful magnum. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, yet the balance is perfect, a ballerinalike poise with the structure of the Forth Bridge. It is a multi-layered Montrose that offers enormous length, fresh and vibrant with the magnum demonstrating tangible mineralite and tension as it fans out on the crescendo of a finish a fanfare for Saint Estèphe in all its glory.

55 331 Château Montrose 2003 St-Estèphe 2me Cru Classé (2 nicked labels)...there is clearly fruit intensity locked up inside this Saint Estèphe, it is counterbalanced by the estate s trademark masculinity and austerity. So both on the nose and the palate it reaches this happy medium: pure blackberry, graphite and roasted herbs on the nose, perhaps even more elegant than I have observed on previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied rather than full bodied with sturdy tannins couched in layers of seamless blackberry and cassis fruit, offset by scents of tobacco and graphite. As usual it has immense length and depth, a Montrose that is really just a few chapters into what is sure to be a longer book than many other 2003s. (98pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, March 2017) $ Château Laville Haut-Brion Blanc 2005 Graves Cru Classé (2 base neck, 3 very top shoulder) 5 bottles A sensational example of Laville, the light green/gold-hued 2005 offers up a superb bouquet of spring flower blossoms, melted wax, honeysuckle, caramel, ripe citrus, and a subtle hint of smoke.

(94+pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #176, April 2008) $900-1, Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2009 Graves Cru Classé Possibly the best dry white the estate has produced since the proprietors, the Cathiards, acquired the property in 1990, this wine exhibits a sensational fragrance of buttered citrus, honeyed melons and a touch of grapefruit, lemon zest and orange rind. It also displays grapefruit on the attack and mid-palate as well as real opulence, terrific acidity and length. (98pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #199, Dec 2011) $ Château Climens 2001 Barsac 1er Cru Classé (1 base neck) The Climens 2001 has always possessed a deliriously complex and intense bouquet that is beautifully defined: dried quince and marmalade, honeycomb and antique furniture. There is an inchoate, resinous element that will surely surface over the next decade or so. This is a bouquet that demands attention and in this blind tasting, sticks out from the crowd, a sui generis. Since I last tasted it, the palate has opened up and is beginning to pump on all cylinders. It is wonderfully balanced with fabulous intensity and a long, citrus-tinged finish that is utterly beguiling. As Kate Bush once sang: Wow. (99pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #215, Oct 2014) $ Mazis Chambertin 2012 Faiveley (1 lightly scuffed label) 3 magnums Here the nose is quite similar to that of the Latricières save for the fact that the sauvage character is even more pronounced. As is typically the case there is also more size, weight, richness and power if a bit less refinement and minerality to the large-scaled flavors that also brim with dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the hugely long finish.

(88-91pts Allen Meadows, Burghound #25, Jan 2007) $ Chambertin, Clos de Beze 2009 Louis Jadot (3 lightly worn labels) A strikingly complex nose features an intense spiciness to the otherwise ripe, elegant and nuanced red berry liqueur aromas that are in keeping with the equally spicy and intense broad-shouldered and tautly muscular flavors, all wrapped in a mouth coating and very firm finish that delivers stunning persistence. I like the underlying sense of tension that adds vibrancy to the moderately austere and mineraldriven finale. (93-95pts Allen Meadows, Burghound #42, May 2011) $ Clos de la Roche, Vieilles Vignes 2011 Ponsot (1 lightly scuffed label) A discreet application of wood does not reduce the considerable appeal of the ripe, pure and airy nose with its broad mélange of wild red berry fruit liqueur, earth, spice, violets and a hint of animale. The broad-shouldered flavors possess superb mid-palate concentration that enrobes the buried but still quite firm tannins while culminating in a beautifully balanced, muscular and explosively long finish.

There is a fine minerality to the energetic and quite firmly structured finish that displays genuinely striking persistence.

Cassis, crushed rocks, graphite, beef blood and ironlike aromas and flavors are all present here, and it offers incredible depth and richness on the palate, with gorgeous purity, masses of tannin and a rock-star finish. A wine that could make you run out of adjectives, it too is another wine that goes flying off the scale. (100pts Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate #214, Aug 2014) $ Cote Rotie, La Turque 2009 E. Guigal (1 lightly bin-soiled and nicked label, 1 scuffed capsule) Both the 2010 and the 2009 continue to blow me away every time I taste them, and to me, these represent the pinnacle of Cote Rotie albeit in very different styles. Every bit as good as the 2010, the 2009 Cote Rotie la Turque is a flamboyant and sexy Cote Rotie that s loaded with notions of smoked meats, blackberries, blackcurrants, beef blood and espresso roast. Thick, unctuous, hugely concentrated and long, it s a heavenly wine I guarantee will put a smile on your face anytime over the coming 2-3 decades. (100pts Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate #228, Dec 2016) $900-1, Ermitage Blanc, De L Orée 1996 Chapoutier (scuffed label) It is no secret that I adore Chapoutier s luxury cuvee of white Hermitage called Cuvee L Oree. Made from 90-year old vines and microscopic yields of hectoliters per hectare, this wine flirts with perfection. It is a compelling white Hermitage. Made from 100% Marsanne, it is as rich and multidimensional as the fullest, most massive Montrachet money can buy. It is unctuously textured, yet extraordinarily and beautifully balanced. I suspect it will drink well early in life, and then shut down for a few years. It should last for 4-5 decades. The 1996 possesses some of the most amazing glycerin levels I have ever seen in a dry white wine. In short, this wine must be tasted to be believed.

Extremely dense, noble and pure, this monumental Ermitage is built for years of cellaring.

The palate is medium-bodied with a slight grainy texture on the entry, a hint of cooked meat inflecting the layers of toasty dark berry fruit. (95pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #202, Aug 2012) $ Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 Eisele Vineyard The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is one of the great wines of the vintage. It brings together gorgeous aromatics, juicy, expressive red fruit and silky tannins. Now seemingly past a period of closure post-bottling, the 2009 looks like a wine that will drink well pretty much throughout its entire life. The 2009 is a totally sexy Cabernet endowed with stunning depth and a rich, enveloping personality. This is pure Araujo and pure Eisele.

This wine, with very low yields of only 3,500 cases and a final blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, offers up notes of cedar wood, forest floor, loamy soil and oodles of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Very opaque purple in color, super-pure and intense, this wine has low acidity, but ripe, noticeable tannins. This is a 30- to 40-year wine and a profound effort from this famous vineyard in Yountville. (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #221, Oct 2015) $1,100-1,400 Fine & Rare Wines 57

(98+pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #207, June 2013) $850-1, Lail Vineyards Red 2012 Cuvee Daniel (1 bin-soiled label) Absolutely perfect and one of the monumental wines of my long tasting trip in Napa is the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Daniel Cuvée. I didn t see this from barrel last year. Aged 20 months in 75% new French oak and representing 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from three vineyard sources: one in Calistoga, one in Oakville and one in Howell Mountain. Robin Lail and winemaker Philippe Melka hit pay dirt with a wine that has an inky purple color, an almost amazing bouquet that reminded me of 1989 Chateau Montrose when it was young. Sweet almost truffle-infused earth, graphite, forest floor, blackcurrant and black cherry notes are followed by a full-bodied wine with a hint of mocha and licorice. Superb purity, an incremental, yet full-bodied mouthfeel, and an extravagant, layered texture and finish make for the finest wine Robin Lail has produced to date at her winery. (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #215, Oct 2014) $ Realm Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard...this gravelly site produced a wine with notes of wet pebbles, Haut Brion-like scorched earth and volcanic notes, some smoke, dark chocolate, forest floor, and massive amounts of blueberry and blackberry fruit.

Inky purple-colored to the rim, with a glorious nose of white flowers, crème de cassis, hints of blackberry and boysenberry, some licorice and forest floor are followed by an enormously concentrated wine with fabulous purity, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and texture, a length of nearly a minute, and stunning flavors, with flawless integration of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol. This is a great, great wine and certainly one of the Cabernet Sauvignons of this vintage. (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #228, Dec 2016) $1,400-1, Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 CCS, Beckstoffer To-Kalon There is something ethereal about the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon CCS, a wine that I tend to give more perfect scores to than of the other Schrader offerings. This is clone 4 from a special block of the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, and it always seems to have these incredible, explosive aromatics ranging from blueberry to blackberry to cassis to spring flowers and lead pencil shavings. It s always one of the more seductive wines early on, with sweet, velvety tannins, a plush, succulent mouthfeel, full-bodied splendor and majestic texture. This is a killer effort of great intensity and presence.

61 370 Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 T6, Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard...it is a kick-ass Cabernet Sauvignon, with a sexy display of black fruits, licorice, camphor, graphite and background oak. This is from clone 6 of the To Kalon Vineyard aged in 95% new Darnajou and 5% Taransaud barrels. So, as readers can see, the differences are minor, indeed. However, they are slightly different wines. This is a bold, opulent wine and one of my favorites of the 2014s.

The palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious, almost caressing thanks to the Merlot lending that velvety texture. The second half changes tack, the Cabernet nudging the Merlot off the stage and delivering a more structured, possibly foursquare finish that is linear and correct.

It seems to unfurl in the glass, like a motor revving its engine. The palate is beautifully balanced with its trademark firm tannic structure, a Mouton-Rothschild with backbone and masculinity. Layers of black fruit intermingling with mint and graphite, a hint of licorice emanating from the Merlot, gently fanning out and my God, it is incredibly long. It is not like the 1985 Mouton-Rothschild that is so fleshy and generous. This is serious, aristocratic Mouton, a true vin de garde and yes, I do think drinkers will have to wait until it reaches its true peak. Sometimes that s just the way it is.

It would be an amazing wine to insert in a tasting of the most profound 2007 Chateauneuf du Papes. As with many prodigious wines, the extraordinary freshness, purity, equilibrium, and singularity of this effort is breathtaking. Its dense purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary, incredibly pure, all enveloping, intense, sweet nose of black raspberries, kirsch, spring flowers, spice box, and pepper. Fullbodied with not a hard edge to be found, it is stunningly concentrated with unreal purity, a voluptuous texture, and remarkable freshness for a wine of such power, depth, and concentration. (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #184, Aug 2009) $ Saxum 2008 James Berry Vineyard (1 nicked label) 421 With strong minerality from the limestone soil, this exuberant, fleshy, full-bodied wine is already drinking well. (I believe it was actually bottled just a day or two before my visit, which makes its performance that much more remarkable.) Dense purple, with sweet notes of barbecue smoke and meats as well as roasted herbs, extravagant black cherry, black currant, and blackberry fruit are all present in this wine, but there is plenty of underlying structure that comes from both the minerality and the Mourvedre component. Pure, full-bodied, but again, impressively elegant and nuanced, this is a tour de force and another prodigious example of this extraordinary vineyard site.

67 423 Saxum 2009 James Berry Vineyard Simply put, the 2009 James Berry Vineyard is one of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted from California, or anywhere for that matter. Bright, floral aromatics lead to expressive red fruit in this impossibly elegant, dazzling wine. A melange of rose petals, mint and licorice follows as the James Berry shows off its breathtaking clarity and finesse. Fine-grained, chalky tannins frame the exceptional finish. Frankly, I am surprised this is the first wine of the tasting. Where does one go from here? The 2009 James Berry is a bit of departure from previous vintages. This is the highest percentage of Grenache ever used in the blend, and a large portion of the Grenache was aged in concrete, an approach Smith has borrowed from producers in the Rhone. Originally Smith had intended to age less of the Grenache components in concrete, but the low yields of the vintage forced him to age about two-thirds of the Grenache in concrete. Call it a happy coincidence, but it certainly looks like things turned out well. Readers should do whatever they can to taste this fabulous wine.

A blend of 52% Grenache, 26% Mourvedre, and 22% Syrah, it has a decidedly savory bouquet of blackberry liqueur, kirsch, violets, bouquet garni, ground pepper, and graphite.

83 Conditions of Sale for Fine & Rare Wines The following Conditions of Sale, as amended by any published or posted notices or verbal announcements during the sale, constitute the entire terms and conditions on which property listed in the catalog shall be offered for sale or sold by Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers Corp. and any consignor of such property for whom we act as agent. As used herein, Bonhams, we and us refer to Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers Corp. If live online bidding is available for the subject auction, additional terms and conditions of sale relating to online bidding will apply; see com/webterms for the supplemental terms. As used herein, Bonhams, we and us refer to Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers Corp. 1. Bidders and purchasers must be at least 21 years of age to participate in the auction and have the legal authority to buy, receive and possess the alcoholic beverage lots offered in the catalog. Each winning bidder shall present satisfactory legal documentation that he or she is at least 21 years of age. In the case of a purchaser that is a corporation, partnership or similar entity, the person receiving the purchased lots on its behalf must meet the foregoing requirements. 2. Unless otherwise noted, all wines are of good appearance (good appearance means a standard level of fill, given the wine s age) and have a clean, intact label, a cork that appears to be sound and no evidence of leaking. Purchasers of older wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variation of ullages and conditions of cork and wine. Except as expressly stated below, no wine returns will be accepted. 3. All Bordeaux wines are château bottled unless otherwise noted. All other wines are cataloged with the producer and/or bottler noted, where appropriate. All German wines are Riesling unless otherwise noted. 4. For reference, Bordeaux wines are cataloged with their area for 1855 classification. Since the wines of Pomerol are not officially classified, the generally accepted practice of granting Château Pétrus Premier Cru Classe will be followed. Other well-known Pomerol Chateaux will be cataloged as Cru Classe. 5. Solely for the convenience of bidders, a currency converter may be provided at the auction. The rates quoted for conversion of other currencies to U.S. dollars are indications only and should not be relied upon by a bidder, and Bonhams, Bedford and their respective agents shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions in the currency converter. 6. As used herein, the term bid price means the price at which a lot is successfully knocked down to the purchaser. The term purchase price means the aggregate of (a) the bid price, (b) a PREMIUM retained by us and payable by the purchaser EQUAL TO 20% OF THE BID PRICE, and (c) unless the purchaser is exempt by law from the payment thereof, any California, Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington state or other state or local sales tax (or compensating use tax) and other applicable taxes. 7. On the fall of the auctioneer s hammer, the highest bidder shall have purchased the offered lot in accordance and subject to compliance with all of the conditions set forth herein and (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefor, (b) if requested will sign a confirmation of purchase, and (c) will pay the purchase price in full or such part as we may require for all lots purchased. No lot may be transferred. Any person placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or not such person has disclosed that fact or the identity of the principal) may be jointly and severally liable with the principal under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid. Unless otherwise agreed, payment in good funds is due and payable within five (5) business days following the auction sale. Whenever the purchaser pays only a part of the total purchase price for one or more lots purchased, we may apply such payments, in our sole discretion, to the lot or lots we choose. Payment will not be deemed made in full until we have collected good funds for all amounts due. Payment for purchases may be made in or by (a) cash, (b) cashier s check or money order, (c) personal check with approved credit drawn on a U.S. bank, (d) wire transfer or other immediate bank transfer, or (e) Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover credit, charge or debit card. A processing fee will be assessed on any returned checks. Please note that the amount of cash notes and cash equivalents that can be accepted from a given purchaser may be limited. The purchaser grants us a security interest in the property, and we may retain as collateral security for the purchaser s obligations to us, any property and all monies held or received by us for the account of the purchaser, in our possession. We retain all rights of a secured party under the California Commercial Code. If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable conditions herein are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to us and the consignor by law, including without limitation, the right to hold the purchaser liable for the purchase price, we at our option may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser or (b) resell the property, either publicly or privately, and in such event the purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency plus all costs and expenses of both sales, our commission at our standard rates, all other charges due hereunder, attorneys fees, expenses and incidental damages. In addition, where two or more amounts are owed in respect of different transactions by the purchaser to us, to Bonhams 1793 Limited and/or to any of our other affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide within the Bonhams Group, we reserve the right to apply any monies paid in respect of a transaction to discharge any amount owed by the purchaser. If all fees, commissions, premiums, bid price and other sums due to us from the purchaser are not paid promptly as provided in these Conditions of Sale, we reserve the right to impose a finance charge equal to 1.5% per month on all amounts due to us beginning on the 31st day following the sale until payment is received, in addition to other remedies available to us by law. 8. We reserve the right to withdraw any property and to divide and combine lots at any time before such property s auction. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog and no lots shall be divided or combined for sale. 9. We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder, to split any bidding increment, and to advance the bidding in any manner the auctioneer may decide. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be conclusive in all respects. 10. If we are prevented by fire, theft or any other reason whatsoever from delivering any property to the purchaser or a sale otherwise cannot be completed, our liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid therefor by the purchaser and shall in no event include any compensatory, incidental or consequential damages. 11. If a lot is offered subject to a reserve, we may implement such reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor, whether by opening bidding or continuing bidding in response to other bidders until reaching the reserve. If we have an interest in an offered lot and the proceeds therefrom other than our commissions, we may bid therefor to protect such interest. CONSIGNORS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BID ON THEIR OWN ITEMS. 12. All statements contained in the catalog or in any bill of sale, condition report, invoice or elsewhere as to authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition and literature of historical relevance, or physical condition ARE QUALIFIED STATEMENTS OF OPINION AND

84 Conditions of Sale for Fine & Rare Wines (continued) NOT REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. No employee or agent of Bonhams is authorized to make on our behalf or on that of the consignor any representation or warranty, oral or written, with respect to any property. 13. All purchased property shall be removed from the premises at which the sale is conducted by the date(s) and time(s) set forth in the Notice to Bidders or Buyer s Guide portion of this catalog. Purchased property that is permitted to remain onsite at Bonhams facility should be removed at the purchaser s expense promptly following the date of the sale. If not so removed, a storage fee of $5.00 per lot per day will be payable to us by the purchaser beginning at the close of the 60th day following the sale, and we may thereafter transfer such property to an offsite warehouse at the purchaser s risk and expense. Accounts must be settled in full before property will be released. Packing and handling of purchased lots are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Limited shipping of wines may be arranged through Bonhams as described elsewhere in the catalog. Purchaser will bear the cost and risk of any packing, pick-up, shipping, insurance and any applicable taxes thereon. Bonhams assumes no liability for assisting with any customer s packing, shipping or insurance arrangements. Bonhams and the consignors will not be liable for any acts or omissions of any third party packers or carriers, whether or not recommended by us. Such packers or carriers may carry their own insurance and any claim for lost or damaged property should be addressed directly to them. Bonhams makes no representations as to the legal rights of anyone to ship or import alcoholic beverages into or within any state or jurisdiction. Purchasers are required to comply with their respective states or jurisdictions regulations regarding the importation, exportation and shipment of alcoholic beverages, and purchasers are solely responsible for the importation, exportation and shipment of alcoholic beverage products purchased. All alcoholic beverage property, however shipped or received, requires the recipient to be in possession of photo identification confirming that he or she is 21 years of age or older. In addition, many jurisdictions prohibit the importation, or limit the quantity, of alcoholic beverages entering such jurisdiction, and some jurisdictions require the purchaser, seller and/or shipper to obtain certain permits or licenses prior thereto. It is the purchaser s sole responsibility to determine whether any such restrictions, limitations or prohibitions are applicable prior to bidding and to obtain any required permits or licenses, and any delay in obtaining or the denial of any such permit or license shall not serve as the basis for any cancellation or rescission of any purchase made hereunder or any delay in making full payment for the purchase when due. 14. The copyright in the text of the catalog and the photographs, digital images and illustrations of lots in the catalog belong to Bonhams or its licensors. You will not reproduce or permit anyone else to reproduce such text, photographs, digital images or illustrations without our prior written consent. 15. These Conditions of Sale shall bind the successors and assigns of all bidders and purchasers and inure to the benefit of our successors and assigns. No waiver, amendment or modification of the terms hereof (other than published or posted notices or oral announcements during the sale) shall bind us unless specifically stated in writing and signed by us. If any part of these Conditions of Sale is for any reason invalid or unenforceable, the rest shall remain valid and enforceable. 16. These Conditions of Sale and the purchaser s and our respective rights and obligations hereunder are governed by the laws of the State of California. By bidding at an auction, each purchaser and bidder agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, brought by or against Bonhams (but not including claims brought against the consignor by the purchaser of lots consigned hereunder) shall be resolved by the procedures set forth below. Mediation and Arbitration Procedures (a) Within 30 days of written notice that there is a dispute, the parties or their authorized and empowered representatives shall meet by telephone and/or in person to mediate their differences. If the parties agree, a mutually acceptable mediator shall be selected and the parties will equally share such mediator s fees.
