Level for Wines

HF IN BN VTS TS HS MS LMS LS

Levels for Bordeaux Bottles

Levels for Burgundy Bottles

HF - High Fill The standard level for young wines or older bottles recorked at the Chateau. IN - Into Neck Perfect level for a wine of any age. Indicates very good storage conditions. Outstanding level for a wine 10 years of age or older. BN - Base of Neck Good level for a wine of any age. For wines 10 years of age or older, indicates perfect storage conditions. VTS – Very Top Shoulder Acceptable level for red Bordeaux wines around 20 years old. TS – Top Shoulder Normal for any claret 15 years old or older. HS – High Shoulder Acceptable for wine over 25 years old. Good for wine over 40 years old. MS – Mid Shoulder Not unusual for wines over 40 years old. Could indicate early signs of cork failure. LMS – Low-Mid-Shoulder Usually indicates deterioration of the cork. LS- Low Shoulder May indicate poor storage condition and possibly an undrinkable wine.

The share of Burgundy bottles does not allow for a level system based on the shoulder of the bottle; levels are described in terms of centimeters below the cork. Generally, Burgundy bottles with a fill level of 2.5cm or above are considered normal for wines younger than 10 years of age. Wines more than 15 years old of age with fill levels of between 4cm to 6cm are generally considered to be sound provenance, though consideration should be given to the clarity and colour of the wine in the bottle, as well as the condition of the cork. Burgundy bottles with fill levels lower than 6cm may be at risk of being damaged or undrinkable. < 2 cm considered an excellent fill for any age < 3 cm a perfectly normal fill for wines 10 years of age or older. It is an excellent fill level for wines 25 years of age or older. < 4 cm considered a normal fill for wines more than 20 years of age and excellent for wine more than 35 years of age. On the other hand, it should be the cause for concern in wines 15 years and younger. < 5 cm not uncommom in older wines of 30 years and more. At this level some oxidation is likely to have occurred and the remaining wine may be fragile at best and not enjoyable at worst. < 6 cm a poor fill level for any wine and not recommended for purchase unless extremely rare.

CHILE

Viña Almaviva Did you know – Viña Almaviva – A felicitous encounter In 1997, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA (Owners of renowned estates such as Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Clerc Milon, or Mouton Cadet) and Eduardo Guilisasti Tagle of Chile’s leading winery Viña Concha y Toro S.A., sealed a partnership agreement with a view to create an exceptional Franco-Chilean wine called Viña Almaviva. Made from a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere and Cabernet Franc), in which Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, Viña Almaviva is the result of a felicitous encounter between two cultures. Chile offers its soil, its climate and its vineyards, while France contributes its winemaking savoir-faire and traditions. The result is an exceptionally elegant and complex wine. Viña Almaviva's launch was a major milestone in the development of Chilean wines, both in Chile itself and in the international market.

Did you know – Primer Orden There is still no official classification of wines in Chile. However, the launch of Almaviva has given rise to the Primer Orden category, a Spanish term that corresponds to the French concept of Grand Cru and the English estate grown wines. Primer Orden wines are made and bottled at the estate own winery and vineyards, by a technical team dedicated exclusively to producing one wine.

A TRIBUTE TO BARONESS PHILIPPINE DE ROTHSCHILD (22 NOVEMBER 1933 - 23 AUGUST 2014)

Baroness Philippine de Rothschild died on 23rd of August 2014 at the age of 80. She will be remembered by all as the radiant and charismatic "Lady of Mouton Rothschild” and most of all as a monumental figure in the wine industry. On Baron Philippe’s death in 1988, the Baroness ended a notable stage career to actively pass on her father’s legacy and bring Mouton and the family company, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, into the 21st century. She notably reasserted the link between Mouton and the arts – debuted by her father – by founding the travelling exhibition, “Mouton Rothschild – Paintings for the Labels”, showcasing the original artworks of Mouton’s famous labels by some of the most celebrated artists of their day, including Miró, Chagall, Braque, Picasso, Tàpies, Francis Bacon or Dali. Like her father Baron Philippe de Rothschild before her, who founded Opus One in California jointly with Robert Mondavi in the 1980’s, the Baroness sealed new revolutionary wine partnerships beyond Bordeaux such as Viňa Almaviva - a venture between the Baroness and the winery Concha y Toro in Chile since 1997. She ensured the excellence of Mouton’s First Growth whilst making the most of the whole estate by starting the production of a high-quality dry white wine, Aile d’Argent, in 1991, and of the second wine Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild, in 1993. Baroness Philippine was actively helped by her two sons, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, Vice-Chairman of the Supervisory Board, and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild. She has ten grandchildren, seven of them from her daughter Camille Ögren. They all share the same ambition for Mouton’s present and future: to continue to enhance its status as a First Growth wine, to keep it in the family from one generation to the next, and to preserve it as a place of art and beauty.

This is a medium-weight, quintessentially elegant style of Lafite with notes of lead pencil shavings/graphite along with black currants, plums, and crushed rocks/mineral. Wonderfully pure, dense, with a deep ruby/purple color and loads of fruit, definition, and a long finish, this is a brilliant, elegant Lafite Rothschild that builds incrementally in the mouth and has more power and density than it initially seems.

Showing slightly better than I rated it previously, this wine is deep bluish/purple with some lightening at the edge, and its floral nose displays notes of melted licorice, crushed rock, blueberries and black raspberries. A wine of extraordinary balance, equilibrium, and purity, with supple tannins, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated effort is already compelling and has hit its window of full maturity, where it should stay for another 15-20 years.”

Pomerol Did you know – Château La Fleur Pétrus Château La Fleur Pétrus takes its name from its closest neighbors. The Bordeaux wine property is situated less than a stone’s throw from Pétrus and from Château Lafleur. Not bad company to keep if you are located on the famous Pomerol plateau! In 1953, Château La Fleur Pétrus was purchased by internationally known winemaker and merchant Jean-Pierre Moueix. While Château La Fleur Pétrus had already cachet before, the wine clearly improved since it was taken over by the Moueix family. Shortly after the vineyard was purchased, the vineyards were decimated by the 1956 frost and had to be replanted. 4 hectares of old vines, acquired from Château Le Gay, were added in 1994 to the vineyard. The style of the wines at Château La Fleur Pétrus is similar to its Château, a French country house that was built in 1782… It’s elegant, classic and understated. The 18 hectare Pomerol vineyard of Château La Fleur Pétrus is planted to 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc on gravel with clay soils. Even though the vineyard is located just across a small, dirt road from Pétrus and only a single vine away from Château Lafleur, the terroir of Château La Fleur Pétrus is different than either estate, with its mix of gravel and clay soils. Very little, if any blue clay is found in their soils. Château La Fleur Pétrus releases under 4,000 cases of Bordeaux wine per year.

13 Château La Fleur Pétrus 1996 Pomerol. Pristine condition. Original wooden case. 1 case (12 bottles, 75cl each). Starting Price: S$ 2,600 (per lot) Wine Advocate April 1999 89/100 “This property has come of age with the acquisition of Le Gay's old vine parcel. It is now consistently one of the finest wines of the appellation, and clearly merits is famous name. The 1996 may deserve an outstanding score with a year or two of bottle age. It boasts an impressively saturated ruby/purple color, as well as a pure, sweet nose of cherries, plum liqueur, spicy oak, and floral scents. The wine possesses excellent depth, medium body, superb purity, and an overall elegant personality offering a combination of power and finesse. Anticipated maturity: now-2015.”

The wine is massive and full-bodied yet neither over the top nor heavy because of good acidity.

Did you know – Dominique Laurent Stephan Tanzer, American wine critic, editor and publisher of the bimonthly International Wine Cellar (‘IWC’) since 1985 summed up Dominique Laurent's wines as such: “Few éleveurs use extended barrel aging so effectively to fill out the textures and extend the finishes of their wines: the 2000s that I tasted in blind flights against their peers in January and early February were consistently the deepest and longest wines on the table. These wines also held their fruit for days in the recorked bottles.” Dominique Laurent who used to be a pastry Chef before becoming a winemaker is certainly able to apply the detail-oriented approach of making fine pastry to making lovely Burgundian wines.

The tension between fresh berry tartness and caramelized confection; between richness and vivacity, is uncannily synergistic. A creamy richness of texture adds allure and underlying suggestions of peat and tobacco further complexity. The finish here is ravishing and irresistibly insistent that I take another sip … and another. As winsome as this is – especially for its vintage – it harbors energy to take it through at least 15 years of excellence.” WWW.SPINK.COM

THE KING OF SPIRITS

LOUIS XIII is a cognac like no other… Its making spans one hundred years. Here we invite you to discover the foundations of its reputation, and the tributes that the world has offered to the King of Spirits.

A masterpiece of craftsmanship To create the legend that is LOUIS XIII, the House of Rémy Martin drew on the long tradition of craftsmanship it had nurtured since it was founded in 1724. It is 140 years ago, in 1874, that Paul-Émile Rémy Martin I decided to use the oldest and finest reserves of cognac that the family was traditionally keeping year after year, to create a very special “Grande Champagne – Âge Inconnu” (Age Unknown) cognac - the original LOUIS XIII ! LOUIS XIII has its roots in the Grande Champagne region, the best terroir in the heart of the Cognac Region in France. Only in this place does the formation have that special perfection that makes it the birthplace of the only grapes that will ever go to make LOUIS XIII.

A rare cognac aged for 100 years As a blend of cognacs aged for some of them more than 100 years, each decanter of LOUIS XIII is the extraordinary blend of 1,200 eaux-de-vie that are carefully selected and blended by 4 generations of Cellar Masters over 100 years. These eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne region give LOUIS XIII cognac its unparalleled aromatic complexity. The exact production figures are one of Remy Martin’s best kept secrets, however it’s easy to realize that reserves of 100 year old eaux-de-vie are scarce while the demand for fine and rare spirits keeps on growing, making every sip of LOUIS XIII even more special… Ever wondered how it would be, even if only for an instant, to live beyond the bounds of ordinary life? Beyond time. Beyond emotion. Beyond sensation. Ever wondered how it would be to have a taste of a whole century in just one moment? LOUIS XIII offers you that very special experience.

A precious crystal decanter for the rare elixir With its rich detailing, the LOUIS XIII decanter is a treasure by itself. Only the very best craftsmen of France’s most renowned crystal factories have the skill required for the processes entailed in the making of crystal at this level of quality. Each decanter is executed in the manner of an Haute Couture creation, hand-crafted and handblown by eleven craftsmen working in unison in a balletic performance to complete each operation while the glass remains at the perfect temperature. No two Louis XIII decanters are ever exactly the same and each piece is individually numbered.

EXPERIENCE HISTORY…

Since 1874 Created in 1874, LOUIS XIII, which celebrates this year its 140th anniversary, evokes the landmarks of history and the famous personalities who made it theirs since LOUIS XIII embarked on farflung conquests – Hong Kong, Shanghai, Mumbai, Tokyo, Rangoon, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, New York and San Francisco, as early as 1880,.

The witness of historical landmarks LOUIS XIII gained world-wide recognition following the Paris World Fair of 1900, becoming a staple at all grand occasions and the most famous historical events. LOUIS XIII was on board of the legendary Orient Express’ first journey to Constantinople in 1929 and the Normandie cruise ship’s first trans-Atlantic voyage in 1935; at the first Christmas of Charles de Gaulle’s exiled French government; and aboard the inaugural flight of the Concorde, defying time at a speed of Mach 2 in 1976.

The favorite of historical figures Its reputation began with illustrious customers among the royal houses of Europe and beyond. LOUIS XIII was a favourite of the Swedish royal court and soirées of the Kingdom of Siam, Nicholas II, last Tsar of Russia or the Queen of Britain. Then came fame with the patronage of the new celebrities of the modern world and major political figures, such as Chanel, Picasso, Churchill or de Gaulle.

GOLD ELIXIR FOR RETURNS As the global demand of cognac increases while the supply is getting shorter, notably reserves of very old eaux-de-vie, the value of LOUIS XIII and other old cognacs has been increasing at a rapid pace over the last few years and is expected to increase further. As cognac does not age once it is bottled, is easy to store and does not spoil easily, more and more investors turn towards cognacs and other aged spirits for safe investment. One only needs to take a look at some of the recent sales of old cognacs in auctions to see how the selling prices usually end up far higher than the prices the sellers historically acquired the bottles at. Limited editions offer another great opportunity for returns and we have seen in the past the prices of some limited editions doubling after a few months on the secondary market, as soon as the limited edition was sold out and rarer to find. Cognac as a safe investment? The main difficulty when investing in such fantastic cognacs, however, is to resist the temptation to drink these exceptional bottles!

A COLLECTORS’ FAVORITE

With its crystal decanter and its elegant presentation cases, the scarce LOUIS XIII has become over the years a collectors’ favourite. Its emblematic decanter symbolizes history as it owes its inspiration to a humble metallic flask that was lost on a French battlefield in Jarnac in 1569, more than four centuries ago, where Catholic and Protestants were fighting. It is only three centuries later in the 1870’s that the flask was dug from the ground by a peasant and purchased by Paul-Émile Rémy Martin I, who was passionate about history.

From the earliest days, the glorious decanter was an invitation to equally glorious styles of presentation. LOUIS XIII was made to be presented as a gift of the most luxurious kind and its successive presentation cases have become over the years true collectibles. LOUIS XIII’s presentation box is usually a very reliable way to approximately date a bottle as it has evolved over the years and across the continents.

LOUIS XIII was first sold under the label “Très Vieille Grande Champagne - Âge Inconnu” (Very Old Grande Champagne – Age Unknown). Some of these decanters were served to Britain’s King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in Versailles, France in 1938.

In the late 30’s, LOUIS XIII came in red velvet boxes.

In the 40’s and 50’s, LOUIS XIII was sold in Europe in a wicker basket while in the USA it came in a green velvet box.

In the 60’s, LOUIS XIII came in a white box, then in a red oval box.

In the 70’s, LOUIS XIII came in a red octogonal box.

But the level of alcohol is merely a signal. What sets a Rare Cask apart is the quite astonishing richness and intensity of its flavours. At the heart of the composition are those prized autumn flavours of nuts and dried fruit – the long-aged flavours for which LOUIS XIII is renowned. But a Rare Cask is also blessed with flavours that are all its own. Alongside those autumn aromas, LOUIS XIII RARE CASK 42.6 declares its distinction with notes of plum and date, mingling with flavours of gingerbread and prune stone, punctuated by a final touch of tobacco leaf.

LOUIS XIII BLACK PEARL ANNIVERSARY EDITION 7 years after the first edition of Black Pearl, and to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the LOUIS XIII brand (18742014), the House of Rémy Martin is unveiling a limited series of just 775 decanters - the LOUIS XIII Black Pearl Anniversary Edition. These numbered decanters are drawn from a unique 572-litre cask, part of the family’s private reserve in the Domaine de Merpins, Cognac. Handmade a century ago using oak from France’s Limousin region, the tierçon – marked C-10093 – is only the third of its kind to be released by the family in the past 100 years. Such an important celebration demands an iconic decanter: a contemporary “Black Pearl” version of the original metal flask that inspired Paul-Émile Rémy Martin when he created LOUIS XIII in 1874. To craft this superb metallic decanter, the House of Baccarat treated the crystal using a unique plating technique. This gives the decanter a beautiful reflective quality, with myriad subtle contrasts of light and dark dancing across its surface. Achieving this dichroic effect involves layering successive thin coatings of precious materials (titanium, carbon and gold) one upon the other. The result is a true work of art…

FIRST REVEALED IN SPINK’S SINGAPORE AUCTION The LOUIS XIII BLACK PEARL ANNIVERSARY EDITION will be available worldwide in late 2014, on waiting list, exclusively from a few selected LOUIS XIII’s partner outlets and merchants. With the auction, Spink and LOUIS XIII offer a fortunate buyer the opportunity to be the first one to secure a decanter of the BLACK PEARL ANNIVERSARY EDITION. The bottle shall be delivered to the buyer later this year as soon as the first bottles reach the market. (Estimated Month: December 2014). Win a visit of Rémy Martin’s estates in Cognac, France In addition of being the first person in the world to secure a BLACK PEARL ANNIVERSARY EDITION, the fortunate buyer will be offered by LOUIS XIII one night in Cognac and a private visit of The Grollet, Rémy Martin’s family homestead in St-Même-les Carrières, craddle of LOUIS XIII and birth place of the BLACK PEARL ANNIVERSARY EDITION.

60 Did you know - Armagnacs Like cognac, Armagnac is a grape brandy from France. Here, however, ends the comparison between the two spirits as Armagnac and Cognac are very different with regards to grapes, terroir, craftsmanship (distillation and blending) as well as aromas. Armagnac comes from the Gascony region of southwestern France. While the Ugni Blanc grape variety now dominates the cognac production, armagnacs can be made of nine varietals, with Folle Blanche, Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Bacco being the most represented in the blends. The Armagnac region is divided into 3 different terroirs: the Bas-Armagnac, the Ténarèze and the Haut-Armagnac. Most of the Armagnacs come from the Bas-Armagnac (also known as Grand Bas-Armagnac) which is named for its lower altitude, rather than lower quality. While cognac is the result of double distillation, Armagnac is traditionally distilled once only, producing a young lower-alcohol spirit vis a vis cognac which retains many esters, acids and congeners which makes young Armagnacs harsher but which with time will give more aromatic complexity to the older Armagnacs. For the mainstream commercial market, however, one has seen the multiplication of Armagnacs produced by large negociants which are doubledistilled so that they can be released faster although they lose in aromatic complexity. Cognac is aged in Limousin oak, Armagnacs in Gascon oak, which can bring an element of tannin. Armagnacs appellations slightly differ from Cognac appellations: 3 stars Armagnacs must be aged at least two years (similar to VS cognacs), VSOP or Reserve at least 5 years (against 4 years for cognac), XO or Vieille Reserve or Napoleon 6 years (similar to XO cognacs) and Hors d’Age at least 10 years. While Armagnac’s production and sales never compare to the ones of Cognac, Armagnacs have always commanded the utmost respect of connoisseurs while bottlings by small (often family owned) independent estates and vintage armagnacs are highly sought after.

64 Did you know - Loch Lomond, Highlands Loch Lomond is a lesser known Scottish distillery as most of its production was traditionally destined for blending. It was founded in 1966 and named after its main water source. Located in an industrial complex and armed with an army of different stills, the distillery produced, interestingly enough, an incredible number of brands and whisky types. Over the years, the distillery has released bottlings under seven different names: Inchmurrin, Inchmoan, Inchfad, Crotengea, Glen Douglass, Craiglodge and, naturally, Loch Lomond, each with varying peat levels. As such, there’s no real unique style for Loch Lomond malts and each bottle is a different experience, which should excite adventurous single malt aficionados!

CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd and Buyer hereby agree to the following Terms and Conditions for auctions conducted by Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd. 1 The Buyer The highest bidder shall be the Buyer at the ‘hammer price’ and any dispute shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion. Every bidder shall be deemed to act as principal unless there is in force a written acknowledgement by Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd that he/she acts as agent on behalf of a named principal. 2 The Premium The buyer shall pay to Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd a premium of 22% of the hammer price on all lots. 3 Bidder Registration Bidding is strictly by paddle only. All floor bidders are requested to register prior to bidding. You must complete and sign a registration form and provide an identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check. 4 Payment After a lot is sold the Buyer must pay to Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd the ‘total amount due’ within seven days after the date of the sale. Any payments by a Buyer to Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd may be applied by Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd towards any sums owing from that Buyer to Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd on any account whatever without regard to any directions of the buyer or his agent, whether express or implied. 5 Ownership The ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has made payment in full to Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd of the ‘total amount due’. 6 Collection of Purchases (a) The Buyer shall at his own expense take away the lot purchased not later than 7 working days after the day of the auction but not before payment to Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd of the ‘total amount due’. (b) The buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges on any lot not taken away within 8 working days after the day of the auction. Please refer to the table explaining additional costs depending on where lots are lying. 7 Buyers responsibilities for lots purchased The buyer will be responsible for loss or damage to lots purchased from the time of collection or the expiry of 7 working days after the day of the auction, whichever is the sooner, and neither Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd nor its respective staff or agents shall thereafter be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any lot is in their custody or under their control. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to be aware of any Import Duties that may be incurred upon importation to the final destination. Spink will not accept return of any package in order to avoid these duties. The onus is also on

the Buyer to be aware of any Customs import restrictions that prohibit the importation of certain collectibles. Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd will not accept return of the Lot(s) under these circumstances. Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd will not accept responsibility for lots seized or destroyed by Customs. If the Buyer requires delivery of the lot to an address other than the invoice address this will be carried out at the discretion of Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd. 8 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with Conditions 4, 6 and 7. or if there is any other breach of either of those Conditions, Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd as agent of the Seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights they may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against the Buyer for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the defaulting buyer at the same or any other auction; (c) to re-sell the lot or cause it to be re-sold by public auction or private sale and the defaulting Buyer shall pay to Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd any resulting deficiency in the ‘total amount due (after deduction of any part payment and addition of re-sale costs) and any surplus shall belong to the Seller; (d) when reselling the Lot, place a notice in our catalogue stating that you successfully purchased the Lot at auction but have subsequently failed to pay the Hammer Price of the Lot; or (e) to remove, store and insure the lot at the expense of the defaulting Buyer and, in the case of storage, either at Spink (Asia) Pte Ltd or elsewhere; (f) to charge interest at a rate of 2% per month on the ‘total amount due’ to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 7 working days after the day of the auction; (g) to retain that or any other lot sold to the same Buyer at the same or any other auction and release it only after payment of the ‘total amount due; (h) to reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting Buyer at any future auctions or obtain a deposit before accepting any bids in future; (i) to apply any proceeds of sale then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the defaulting Buyer towards settlement of the ‘total amount due’ and to exercise a lien on any property of the defaulting Buyer which is in Spink (Asia)Pte Ltd’ possession for any purpose. 9 Use of Default Information If you fail to make payment for a Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions 9.1 we reserve the right to refuse you the right to make bids for any future auction irrespective of whether previous defaults have been settled; and 9.2 you consent to us disclosing details of such default to other auctioneers and live bidding platforms, which will include your name, address, nature of the default and the date of the default.
