Description

In fabulous nick.

This auction is one of number currently on Bid for Wine of bottles from the same cellar. Said cellar belonged to a gentleman who is sadly now frequenting the great vineyard in the sky, and contained incredible treasures mostly from the 70s and early 80s.

The wines were stored in an underground wine cellar beneath a grand house. The temperature was evidently excellent as the wines are in healthy condition with high fill levels, though labels have deteriorated - and in some instances are absent altogether – and there are deposits on some of the capsules.

It is not known how long the wines sat in the cellar, but price tags are still stuck to some, and the prices would indicate purchase at or around the time of production. I reckon it’s a reasonable assumption that they’ve laid in the same cellar their entire life.
