Rare Birds and Big Verticals

Today’s offer speaks to two ends of the collecting spectrum. On one end are rare, needle-in-a-haystack bottles that belong in serious cellars and on the other, vast and sweeping verticals of benchmark estates that define great vintages.

Every bottle comes with impeccable provenance (as always), and whether you’re filling gaps or building depth, there’s real opportunity here.

We begin with three standout verticals: Maybach, Produttori del Barbaresco, and Scarecrow. These span the strongest vintages and collectively account for nearly two dozen wines rated between 98 and 100 points. There’s also a duo of highly-rated Cab Franc from Detert, and some VHR from the highly celebrated 2013 vintage.

On the rare side, we open with a three-pack of Comando G’s pinnacle cuvée, Rumbo al Norte, which is often described as Spain’s answer to Rayas. This granite-grown Garnacha is pure precision and artistry in a bottle. From there, we move to a pair of the great 2018 Montrachets: Comtes Lafon and Jean Claude Ramonet, allowing for a truly elite horizontal tasting.

We’ve also adjusted pricing on the 2006 Hubert Lamy Haute Densité, which should not linger for long. Staying in white Burgundy, you’ll find a small parcel of Lamy-Caillat and a trio of 2022 DRC Corton-Charlemagne: bottles that rarely surface and disappear quickly when they do.
