Bid on Wines!
These wines are priceless and cannot be now purchased except from an individual who has obtained them at release since there were not that many bottles made. When these wines were released, they disappeared into collectors' cellars and were rarely seen again. This is a unique opportunity. These particular wines were, in fact, purchased when released, and cellared at 55 F and 75% humidity with loving care. They are offered for this auction for the greater good to beat MS and to individuals who will appreciate the wines and the mission.
1. Terre di tufi by Teruzzi & Puthod.
Easily the best white wine of Italy with elegance and a lemon, citrus quality to go with a light lemon/butter white fish dish of Tuscany. This wine is a 2003 Vernaccia but a single vineyard of Teruzzi & Puthod. The second wine is a 1990 Brunello of Campogiovanni that is at peak of its magnificant complex and long flavors that will put you on your toes with a dish such as a simple pasta dish and mushrooms or shimp. I could order just about any dish and be pleased with this dish and friends. The third wine is a block-buster a Barolo with some age, a 1993 Mascarello, called Monprivato.
2. Spanna Vallana
The Spanna Vallana is a unique but mainly local wine. It has the same grapes the Barbaresco does. The Campaccio has an interesting local blend and is a 'Super Tuscan' as is Tignanello, 1995.
3. Grand Cru Classe Chateau La Lagune Haut Medoc 1982 mis en Bouteille au chateau
4. Grand Cru Classe Chateau Calon – Segur Saint – Estephe mis en Bouteille au Chateau Recolte 1982
5. One Magnum in Orig. Wood Case of Chateau Fombrauge St. Emilion Grand Cru 2005
The Wine Advocate Review: "The 2005 Fombrauge is a blend of 77% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. The opaque purple color is followed by a big, sweet nose of mocha, jammy black cherries, blackberries, smoke, and pain grille, as well as serious black cherry and raspberry notes interwoven with darker blackberry fruit. High in tannin, full-bodied, chewy, powerful, and dense, it requires 5-6 years of bottle age, and should keep for two decades This chewy, powerful, decadent St.-Emilion is an impressively endowed, pure, intense wine. It is another brilliant example of winemaking from proprietor Bernard Magrez. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020+."
