The Gala also
featured and auction that they said was the most impressive collections of vintage

AUCTION WINE HIGHLIGHTS
1989 CHÂTEAU PÉTRUS (one bottle) – Estimated
Value: $7,435
The 1989 Château
Pétrus is superb and Robert Parker awarded it a perfect score of 100 points. He
wrote: “This is another stunningly opulent, rich, full-bodied, amazingly
concentrated, exotic, flamboyant Pétrus that remains remarkably youthful…the
1989 looks to be another 30-year wine, with extraordinary equilibrium between
all of its component parts. An amazing effort!” Château Pétrus is one of the
most famous – and usually the most expensive – wines of Bordeaux and represents
the pinnacle of Pomerol. British wine writer Michael Broadbent finds this wine
to be “perfect.”
1990 CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD (12 bottles) –
Estimated Value: $9,250
An iconic collectible
wine from one of Bordeaux’s most famous first-growth producers. The wine has a
clear, glittering colour with a slightly brackish tint while the open and
expressive nose offers well-developed aromas of blond tobacco and game together
with some very pleasant mineral notes. The fruit, relatively discreet on the
nose, comes into its own on the palate in flavours of macerated fruit and
prunes in alcohol. An attractive, acidulated and airy finish.
HARLAN ESTATE VERTICAL (six bottles) –
Estimated Value: $13,400
This vertical
includes the 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Harlan Estate vintages.
Founded in 1984, Harlan Estate is a winegrowing estate in the western hills of
Oakville, California – in the heart of Napa Valley and has been described as
the “ultimate cult winery.” The flagship Harlan Estate is one of the most
sought-after Californian wines on the market. Robert Parker states that “these
wines possess all the elements of greatness – individuality, power combined
with elegance, extraordinary complexity, remarkable aging potential and
compelling richness without ponderousness.”
1988 CHÂTEAU MARGAUX (12 bottles) – Estimated
Value: $12,150
The very deep colour,
the rich, intense nose and the magnificent structure on the palates are very
reminiscent of the 1986. They have the same powerful, ripe tannins, with
perhaps a little less concentration, but also less austerity. An iconic
collectible wine from one of Bordeaux’s most famous first-growth producers
