Lot 9 Details
CHÂTEAU CROIX DE LABRIE 2012

Saint-Émilion. Grand Cru Classé
12 x scuffed labels

If you want to impress a friend with a pure, hedonistic St.-Emilion that also offers an intellectual challenge, the 2012 Croix de Labrie, a St.-Emilion fruit bomb, is the wine for you. Unfortunately, the 250-case production means this cuvee is limited in availability. Aromas of incense, Christmas fruitcake, Asian plum sauce, blackberries, licorice and truffles soar from the glass of this dense plum/purple-colored wine. Opulent, voluptuously textured and medium to full-bodied with no hard edges to be found, it will drink well for a decade after bottling. April 2013 WA (93-95)

12 bts.    per lot $700 - $900

Realised: $912
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
