The Emeritus Collection Lots 1–183 and 338–348 Our April auction features an impressive 200+ lot selection from a lifelong collector of rare and fine wine. This collection is a study of Old World producers and explores magnificent Cru Classe and Right Bank Bordeaux from the early 20th century including Chateau Haut Brion, Mouton Rothschild, and Leoville Las Cases, Burgundy from the great heights of Domaine de la Romanee Conti to négociant blends throughout the decades, and 19th century Cognac and vintage Rhone and Californian offerings. Amassed over a lifetime through retail and auction, and housed in three residences, these wines were stored in temperature- and humidity-controlled environments including two custom-built cellars and an Eurocave. Vetted with the upmost scrutiny, Skinner specialists tasted extensively through the collection. 1 Chateau Haut Brion 1934 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: high mid shoulder, corrosion and discoloration to capsule with loss at base, fading and staining to label 1 bottle $600-800 2 Chateau Haut Brion 1940 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: mid shoulder, wear, oxidation and corrosion to capsule resulting in losses, fading, scuffing, light staining and slight losses to label, good color and clarity 1 bottle $250-350 3 Chateau Haut Brion 1949 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: high shoulder, staining, heavy oxidation and discoloration to capsule, heavy fading to partially unaffixed label with losses 1 bottle $800-1,200

4 Chateau Haut Brion 1952 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: mid shoulder, corrosion, staining, wear and oxidation to capsule, fading and light staining to label with slight nicks 1 bottle $500-800 5 Chateau Haut Brion 1955 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: high mid shoulder, oxidation, fading and wear to capsule, staining and fading to label with lower corner lightly torn and unaffixed R. Parker for TWA, 97 pts. 10/94 1 bottle $1,000-2,000 6 Chateau Haut Brion 1959 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: 4cm, corrosion, discoloration and staining to capsule, heavy staining to label “A true marvel of vinous artistry. This 58-yearold masterpiece flits from wild rose to tar to otherworldly smokiness with the coolness of menthol and a delicate herbal tone. Tannins and acidity are so harmoniously married, the mere act of breathing in the wine creates the most delightful change in taste and experience. These sensations and more morph; each sip is a new sensation lingering for what feels like an infinite length. This wine should be on every serious oenophile’s bucket list.” APW 04/2017 1 bottle $1,500-2,500 7 Chateau Haut Brion 1961 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: one 4cm, one 6cm, light oxidation to both capsules, wine staining to one, light corrosion and tears to another, staining to one label with small losses, light bin markings to the other, light bin soil to both, different importers 2 bottles $2,400-4,500 8 Chateau Haut Brion 1966 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: one 4.5cm, one 5cm, corrosion, oxidation, staining and wear to both capsules, slightly depressed cork to one, heavy discoloration to one label, different importers 2 bottles $500-800

9 Chateau Haut Brion 1967 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: two at 3cm, four 3.5cm, two 4cm, one 4.5cm, one 5cm, corrosion to one capsule top, light oxidation to four, evidence of old seepage to two, light staining and discoloration to labels, nick resulting in tear to one label at lower edge “The 1967 vintage is not one of the most coveted today and that’s unfortunate. We were impressed not only by this example of a classic Haut Brion but also the wine’s remarkable notes of iron, iodine, and ions after a summer thunderstorm. Wet earth, tar, tobacco, and cedar encapsulate a damson plum core, grape pip tannins, and an (almost) citrusy tinge of acidity. Plush and luxurious, this wine reveals not a hint of strain from the challenging vintage.” Fine Wines Department 02/2019 10 bottles $1,700-2,150 10 Chateau Haut Brion 1976 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: 1.75cm, bin nick and tears to bottom edge of label 1 bottle $250-325 11 Chateau Haut Brion 1979 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: one 2.5cm, one 3cm, one 3.25cm, light corrosion and oxidation to one capsule, light discoloration and bin nicks to labels 3 bottles $900-1,100 12 Chateau Haut Brion Blanc 1979 Pessac Leognan u: 2.5cm, one 3cm, light staining to labels 2 bottles $1,000-1,200 13 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1943 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: mid shoulder, corrosion, wear and loss to top of capsule, light staining and wrinkling to label with tears and unadhered at lower edge 1 bottle $550-750 14 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1955 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: both mid shoulder, light staining and evidence of old seepage to both capsules, wrinkling to labels, staining and discoloration to one, good clarity 2 bottles $1,200-1,800

21 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1980 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: bottom neck, wrinkling to capsule, significant tear to label resulting in loss of vintage and partial Chateau name, capsule cut to determine vintage by Skinner specialists 1 bottle $400-550 22 Chateau Latour 1928 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: high shoulder, wear, staining and losses to capsule, slightly protruding cork, stained and bin-soiled label, good color and clarity 1 bottle $4,000-6,000 23 Chateau Latour 1940 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: high shoulder, discoloration and wrinkling to capsule, slightly protruding cork, lightly stained label with losses 1 bottle $450-800 23A Chateau Latour 1944 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: mid shoulder, wear, corrosion and staining to capsule with slightly protruding cork, stained and faded label with losses (label unaffixed) 1 bottle $450-700 23B Chateau Latour 1947 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: low shoulder, wear, corrosion, staining and small losses to capsule, light staining and fading to label 1 bottle $800-1,500 24 Chateau Latour 1952 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: top shoulder, light corrosion and oxidation to capsule, heavily stained and unaffixed label 1 bottle $500-800

25 Chateau Latour 1955 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: mid shoulder, wear and staining to capsule with small losses, staining and discoloration to label with cracks, tears, and losses (partially unaffixed at corner), good color and clarity “A spectacular Latour, from a vintage that has provided many superb surprises (especially in the Medoc and Graves), the deep garnetcolored 1955 reveals some amber at the edge. It remains tannic, but its extraordinary perfume of smoked meats, dried herbs, cedar, black fruits, underbrush, and leather is seductive. It is full-bodied, with a sweet, intense mid-palate, plenty of power, and decades of life remaining. This is an underrated, stunning Latour that may even improve. Anticipated maturity: now-2020.” R. Parker for TWA, 94 pts. 06/00 1 magnum $1,700-3,000 26 Chateau Latour 1962 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: one high shoulder, two high mid shoulder, corrosion and oxidation to capsules, staining to labels (two lightly, one heavily) “Latour continues to be one of the great vintages for this chateau. A dense opaque garnet color reveals amber at the edge, as well as an incredible perfume of cedar wood, balsam, coffee, black fruits, leather, and cigar smoke. The wine is supple and full-bodied, with sweet tannin, glorious levels of fruit and extract, abundant glycerin, and a seductive, truffle-flavored finish. While it has been drinkable for two decades, it is capable of lasting another 20 years. It is a perfectly balanced, exciting Latour that remains undervalued as well as underrated.” R. Parker for TWA, 95 pts. 06/00 3 bottles $1,800-2,400 27 Chateau Latour 1966 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: high shoulder, corrosion, oxidation and significant nicks to capsule, glue striping to label “The 1966 Latour remains an exemplar of the vintage, certainly one of the best, if not the best Left Bank wine of the vintage. Here, served blind, its quality was a beacon, quintessentially Pauillac with that trademark graphite seam through the intense black fruit, cold stone and a touch of tobacco. It remains undimmed by its age (though this was served from a magnum of impeccable provenance). The palate is medium-bodied and that graphite theme continues unabated, flanked by beautiful, precise and pure vestiges of black fruit. “Pure class” are the final two words of my tasting note and at 50 years old, they sum up this immensely impressive Château Latour.” N. Martin for TWA, 96 pts. 10/16 1 bottle $350-600

Dark red, fruits, plummy and peaty, a wild hint of animal laced with fragrance of violets. This wine doesn’t go where you expect it to and drinking younger than its age would suggest. Memorably unexpected.” MCK 09/2015 2 bottles $250-350 81 Mouton d’Armailhacq 1953 Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe u: both high mid shoulder, capsule corrosion to one resulting in slight losses, light staining to one mostly unaffixed label, vintage neck label missing to one and unaffixed to the other 2 bottles $250-375

This bottle represented one of the best that I have encountered. Iridescent in color, the bouquet soars from the glass, a pyrotechnic display of quince, Clementine, honey and a touch of aszu, lending it a slight Tokaji-like personality. It is beautifully defined and intense. The palate is pure and detailed with a killer line of acidity, vibrant honeyed fruit and a mellifluous finish that is now fully expressive. It vies with the imperious 1971 as the greatest Yquem of that era. This is simply magnificent.” N. Martin for TWA, 98 pts. 06/15 Sauternes, Premier Cru Superieur 4 bottles $1,600-2,700 83 Chateau d’Yquem 1970 Sauternes, Premier Cru Superieur u: one high shoulder, one high mid shoulder, capsule corrosion and discoloration, evidence of possible old seepage, heavy label staining 2 bottles $325-500

84 Chateau d’Yquem 1971 Sauternes, Premier Cru Superieur u: three very top shoulder, one top shoulder, light corrosion to one capsule, light oxidation to all, slight discoloration and staining to all labels “Served from an ex-chateau bottle. I have always stood by the 1971 Chateau d’Yquem as being one of the most seriously underrated vintages of that decade. I feel completely vindicated in this view as I batted away the 1967 Yquem when tasted at the chateau and entranced its audience. This great Yquem was born during 10 days from October 6, when warm and humid conditions caused an outbreak of botrytis. It was a small crop of just 228 barrels. Slightly deeper in color than the 1982 Yquem tasted alongside, it is blessed with a truly spellbinding nose that has such energy and frisson that you don’t know where to look. You can detect Mirabelle, ripe Satsumas, citrus peel and beeswax. The palate is vibrant, animated and simply electrifies the mouth upon entry. The 1971 has immense concentration, while the almost Tokaji Aszu-like finish is beautifully poised. This is simply an outstanding Yquem that shows absolutely no sign of reaching the end of its drinking plateau. Drink now-2040+. “ N.

Seemingly fully mature (it is more evolved than the 1975), it exhibits a dark garnet color with little lightening at the edge as well as a classic La Mission bouquet of truffles, charcoal, scorched earth, black currants, plums, figs and crushed rocks. A sweet, medium to full-bodied entry on the palate reveals totally resolved tannins, adequate acidity and uncanny richness, complexity, texture and length. This surprisingly dense, concentrated, velvety La Mission-Haut-Brion displays all the complexity of this great terroir. At the peak of its evolutionary track, it is in no danger of falling apart, but prudence suggests drinking it over the next 15-20 years.” R. Parker for TWA, 96 pts. 08/12 2 bottles $800-900

Beautiful spice, earth and lovely sous bois aromas lead to rich, sweet, detailed and velvety medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate on the gorgeously long finish.

166 Taylor 1992 Oporto u: all bottom neck, light wear to capsule tops “Taylor’s 1992 Vintage Port is unquestionably the greatest young port I have ever tasted. It represents the essence of what vintage port can achieve. The color is an opaque black/purple, and the nose offers up fabulously intense aromas of minerals, cassis, blackberries, licorice, and spices, as well as extraordinary purity and penetration. Yet this is still an unformed and infantile wine. If Chateau Latour made a late-harvest Cabernet Sauvignon, I suspect it might smell like this. In the mouth, the wine is out of this world, displaying layer upon layer of concentrated black fruits backed by well-integrated tannin and structure. This is a massive, magnificently rich, full-bodied port that will be far more flattering in its youth than were such Taylors as the 1983, 1977, or 1970. It possesses awesome fruit, marvelous intensity, and lavish opulence, all brilliantly well-delineated by the wine’s formidable structure. This monumental 30-50 year port is a must purchase for port aficionados! Also noteworthy is the fact that the 1992 Taylor commemorates the 300th anniversary of this firm, as evidenced by the special bottle Taylor used for this port.” R.

Add to this plenty of attractive nuances to the kaleidoscopically layered red currant and plum suffused aromas and you have something pretty special. This is, not surprisingly, much more refined than the Grands Ech as the supporting tannins on the silky middle weight flavors are extremely finegrained yet notably dense as the explosive finish is quite firm. Despite the tightly wound structure the overall impression of the mouth feel is one of delicacy and ultimate refinement. This should be a particularly excellent vintage for what has become one of the stars of this gorgeously deep portfolio of wines.” Burghound, 96 pts. 01/13 1 bottle $1,600-2,000 188 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Romanee St. Vivant 2014 Cote de Nuits Burghound, 95 pts. 01/17 1 bottle $1,400-1,800

Like the Riche this possesses that wonderful inner mouth perfume that makes the Vosne grand crus justifiably so famous. There is wonderful intensity to the sleek big-bodied flavors that display plenty of punch and authority on the impeccably well-balanced and hugely long and very firmly structured finish. While La Tâche is often a very powerful wine, the 2013 version seems particularly so and it would be accurately described as a beautiful combination of power and refinement.” Burghound, 95 pts. 01/16 1 bottle $2,800-3,500 190 Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache 2014 Cote de Nuits “Fireworks in a glass would be the operative description of the super-fresh nose of the 2014 La Tâche and while it’s not necessarily spicier or more floral than the Riche, there is a broader range of elements present and in particular better overall aromatic depth along with more red fruits than dark. The imposingly powerful and tautly muscular flavors possess outstanding mid-palate density while simultaneously offering excellent delineation on the intensely mineral-infused, youthfully austere and very firmly structured finish that just goes on and on. While I suspect that this will drink reasonably well after only 15 to 18 years of bottle age note well that if you want to drink it when fully mature it will require in the range of 20 to 25 years of cellaring.” Burghound, 96 pts. 01/17 1 bottle $2,800-3,500 191 Sine Qua Non Dark Blossom Syrah 2011 Central Coast J.

201 Sine Qua Non Touché Syrah 2012 Central Coast “Lastly, the utterly perfect 2012 Syrah Touche reminds me of a great vintage of Guigal’s Cote Rotie La Landonne. A blend of 93% Syrah, 5% Petite Sirah and 2% Viognier, all from the Eleven Confessions Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills, it spent 40 months in 78% new French oak. Deep, concentrated, full-bodied and layered, with a multidimensional texture and to-die-for notes of camphor, cured meats, violets, smoke and assorted dark fruits, this beauty has fine, perfectly ripe tannin and blockbuster length. Give it 3-4 years and drink over the following two decades.” J. Dunnuck for TWA, 100 pts. 08/16 1 bottle $375-450

207 Chateau Latour 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: very top shoulder, wrinkling to capsule top “1982 was a great vintage—relatively warm and prolific, producing wines of richness and depth. The 1982 Latour has a medium garnet-brick color and then pow!—it belts out powerful notes of star anise, dried roses, sandalwood and new leather with a core of kirsch, blackberry tart, dried mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles. Full-bodied, rich and spicy with bags of fruit and tons of savory fireworks, it finishes with epic persistence.” L. Perrotti Brown for TWA, 100 pts. 02/19 1 bottle $1,200-1,800

231 Chateau Latour 1966 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: high shoulder, small losses to capsule top, light marking to label “The 1966 Latour remains an exemplar of the vintage, certainly one of the best, if not the best Left Bank wine of the vintage. Here, served blind, its quality was a beacon, quintessentially Pauillac with that trademark graphite seam through the intense black fruit, cold stone and a touch of tobacco. It remains undimmed by its age (though this was served from a magnum of impeccable provenance). The palate is medium-bodied and that graphite theme continues unabated, flanked by beautiful, precise and pure vestiges of black fruit. “Pure class” are the final two words of my tasting note and at 50 years old, they sum up this immensely impressive Château Latour.” N.

This bottle was again a riveting, opulentlytextured drinking experience. Its spectacularly perfumed bouquet consists of truffles, black tea, soy, minerals, and copious sweet prune, coffee-infused, black currant fruit. Sweet on the attack, with a rare opulence, a voluptuous texture, full body, terrific freshness, and a chewy, fleshy, succulent finish, this has always been great stuff. This bottle was no exception. It has been fully mature for 25-30 years, but well-stored or larger format bottlings will last another two decades.” R. Parker for TWA, 98 pts. 06/00 1 bottle $500-900 229 Chateau Latour 1961 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u: high shoulder, slight losses to capsule top, light stain to label “Port-like, with an unctuous texture, and a dark garnet color with considerable amber at the edge, the 1961 Latour possesses a viscosity and thickness. One of the three bottles served at the Chateau’s tasting revealed a surprisingly aggressive, minty, herbaceous nose, but the other two bottles were liquid perfection, exhibiting fragrant, cedary, truffle, leather, mineral, and sweet, jammy aromatics, full-bodied, voluptuous textures, exquisite purity and concentration, and a layered, highly-nuanced finish that represents the essence of compellingly great wine. The 1961 has been fully mature for over 15 years, but it seems to get richer, holding onto its succulence and fat, and developing more aromatic nuances without losing any sweetness or concentration. An extraordinary wine, it is unquestionably one of the Bordeaux legends of the century! Anticipated maturity: now-2025” R. Parker for TWA, 100 pts. 06/00 1 bottle $2,500-4,000

The mid-palate of the middle weight flavors is quite supple and round though the vibrant and highly complex finish tightens up immediately. I like the balance and sense of tension and overall, this should also age beautifully yet also be reasonably approachable in its youth.” Burghound, 94 pts. 01/15 Vosne Romanee Les Chaumes 2012 (1 bt); “An exuberantly spicy nose is composed primarily of ripe black pinot fruit and violet aromas. There is a refined mouth feel to the middle weight flavors that are supported by ripe and fine tannins before culminating in a linear and tight but balanced finish that delivers excellent depth and length. This is better than it usually is as there is more underlying material. Note that this lovely effort should be approachable young.” Burghound, 92 pts. 01/15 Cote de Nuits 3 bottles $400-600 267 Moillard Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts 2009 Cote de Nuits 6 bottles $325-475 268 Emmanuel Rouget Vosne Romanee 2005 Cote de Nuits 1 bottle $200-300

269 Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche 2015 (1 bt); “A discreet lashing of wood easily allows the equally sauvage-suffused nose to display its array of various dark berries, earth, floral and soft underbrush scents. The energetic and beautifully well-detailed medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the muscular finish that exhibits focused power and excellent persistence. This is one of those relatively rare wines that will age effortlessly for years yet should be enjoyable the entire way.” Burghound, 9294 pts. 01/17 Ruchottes Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes 2014 (1 bt); “An interesting note of wild strawberries adds interest to the more typical aromas of raspberry, spice, earth and distinct floral nuances. The superbly intense, powerful, focused and wonderfully chiseled mineral-driven flavors deliver a palate staining, austere and brooding but seamlessly well-balanced finish where a hint of wood appears. This is at once refined and restrained though it’s quite clear that this will, as is usually the case, require moderately extended cellaring.” Burghound, 94 pts. 01/17 Gevrey Chambertin 2015 (1 bt) Cote de Nuits 3 bottles $800-1,200 270 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne 1998 Cote de Beaune u: both very top shoulder, light wear and discoloration to capsules, light damp wrinkling to labels 1 magnum $200-250 271 Comte Lafon Meursault Charmes 2012 Cote de Beaune Burghound, 94 pts. 06/15 3 bottles $450-600 272 AF Gros Pommard les Pezerolles 2011 Cote de Beaune 12 bottles $350-450 273 AF Gros Pommard les Pezerolles 2013 Cote de Beaune 12 bottles $350-450

In the autumn of 1914 the grapes in the Grande Champagne vineyards promised extraordinary quality, but the Great War was on and the wine rowers (the men) were at the front. The women took the challenge- harvesting and making the wine, and mastered the art of distillation. Close to half a century of aging in wood, it was transferred to demijohns and kept under seal until it was finally bottled in 1987. Recreating a Hine family treasure, Baccarat devoted untold weeks and the talents of its most gifted craftsmen to recreating this hand-etched decanter, adding a silver band and numbering each decanter 1 through 200. Made of Macassar ebony and Honduran mahogany with accented violet wood, each case was individually crafted by hand and individually numbered.” 1 750ml bottle (pc) $3,000-4,000 351 Hine Select Cognac Cognac T.
