2005 Cheval Blanc in an Imperial: perfection in its purest form

Four Imperials are currently available from €5,900 as the starting bid — a good deal for a vintage that collectors worldwide are clamouring for. Do not let anyone else bid before you.
2003 Château Latour in a magnum: (100/100 Robert Parker and 100/100 Revue du Vin de France
When the greatest Pauillac meets one of the sunniest vintages of the 21st century and is presented in a lot of 6 magnums, there is only one thing to do: bid! The 2003 Château Latour, rated 100/100 twice (Robert Parker and Revue du Vin de France), is priced from €5,610 per lot. At €935 per magnum for a Premier Grand Cru Classé of this stature in a legendary vintage, it would be a shame to miss out.
