Pichon Comtesse: 20 Vintages . So many takeaways from last week's Pichon tasting @lafayette380. 1928 out of magnum was singing! Remarkably fresh fruit within the layers and layers of tertiaries. Went too quickly to know how long it would've lasted. Unsurprisingly, 1966 was the evening's showstopper - a credit to the vintage and to the provenance of all these bottles. '82, '86, '90, and '95 all showed tremendously well. The younger we got, the more Pichon Comtesse's insane quality (and value!) came into focus. Nicolas Glumineau, what a master of his craft! Thanks to our wonderful sommelier, Chris, and his fantastic team for an awesome time. :) . #pichoncomtesse #hdhauctions #winecollector #bordeaux

It is rare to offer an untouched cellar. The Ericson Cellar is one of the special ones for me. As we inspected each bottle, we also paged through original receipts, cellar inventories and letters to friends about great trips and wine purchases they looked forward to sharing. It is the collection of a couple who fell in love with wine in the early 70’s, and spent the next decades travelling, cooking, collecting and gathering friends around the table to share and explore. The wines were sourced well and stored carefully. They purchased many of the wines on release and never moved them from their ideal cellar. The full cases of 70s and 80s Bordeaux are remarkable, as are the older Burgundies and Napa treasures from the same period. The depth of the Chave Hermitage shows the passion for a wine they loved, with full (often multiple) cases of 1978, 1979, 1982, 1984 through 1991… and in original cartons. This is a unique opportunity to add special treasures to your cellar and we are honored to represent the Ericson Cellar. The group will be offered in the later part of the Friday Auction session in lots 2660-2995. The auction begins each day, Thursday June 27th and Friday June 28th at 8am ET.
Our CEO, Paul Hart, discusses The Schwartz Collection from next week's Auction of Finest & Rarest Wines. A cellar meticulously assembled by the late, great Gerry Schwartz, an avid and generous collector, philanthropist, and friend. Browse through and bid on the collection here: https://lnkd.in/g2MAcMhX
Gerry Schwartz was a passionate and generous collector. He loved the process – discovering, bidding, storing and organizing his cellar. His collection featured amazing first growth Bordeaux, DRC, Italians including Tignanello and Solaia, Aldo and Giacomo Conterno. Gerry had a penchant for big bottles and loved sharing his wines. I met him at a charity auction, The Wine and Food Experience in Raleigh, benefitting the Frankie Lemmon School for children with disabilities. Gerry raised his paddle and others followed. He will be missed and HDH is honored to offer his cellar at our Finest and Rarest Wine Auction on June 27-8. The Schwartz Collection includes lots 633-1140.
