Taylor--Vintage 1935
4 bottles per lot
A SUPERLATIVE RANGE OF FINE AND RARE VINTAGE PORT FROM A COUNTRY HOUSE CELLAR When Christie's, under Michael Broadbent, first established the international market for Fine Wines, back in 1966, a large majority of some of the Finest and Rarest wines offered came from the cool, mostly damp extremities of the 'Country House Cellar'. Noble Families, then often driven by the needs and expediencies of death, debt and divorce found a ready market for their historical, vinous treasures with a newly-formed clientele of wine lovers and collectors. The global market for wine was born. This selection of Vintage Port from lots 1 to 15, could come from that era. Superb and uninterrupted long-term (since original release in most cases) storage from the environs of superb, nobly-owned cellarage, conferring somehow an additional cachet of provenance almost unseen in today's frantic 'winebourse'. In an age when fine and rare wines have now become the gaming chips of international wine investment and speculation, it's rather satisfying to reflect that things were not always that way. These bottles will be making way in the owner's cellar for more practical, usable alternatives and so our successful buyers can take advantage of acquiring with the bottles, a little bit of wine history fast disappearing from the market today.
