 The lot is among the world's most desirable wines |
Among the most desirable wines from one of the world's most respected producers, the lot is likely to sell well on May 23.
The auction house comments: "It is more backward than the 1987, 1986, or 1985, and is one of the fullest and most tannic examples of Romanee-Conti I have tasted this decade.
"It may even outlive the otherworldly 1985. It is staggeringly concentrated with a bouquet that almost defies articulation. There is no doubting what it is and who made it. It is a flashy, dramatic wine with astonishing length and mystique."
