June 17, 2021 - This little darling was “found” in a box with my name on it in a warehouse Miss managed by heritage auctions Los Angeles— depending on who you believe there are 8 more bottles worth 3500 or 38 more bottles worth 43,000 dollars left at this particular auction house. It’s crumbling cork was misinterpreted TWICE as belying bad wine.
I say here absolutely for the record and all time that unless you are selling thru Hart, Spectrum, Sotheby’s or Bruun— you are an idiot, andor know more than I do about this graft-, contempt- and corruption-plagued industry.
[Yes: Getting your fully priced wines out of those salt caves and onto American soil is a-whole-nother animal, BUT THE STARK HONESTY OF THE DANES I WILL PAY A FAT PREMIUM FOR UNTIL MY DYING DAY, as will anyone who has been put through ringers named things like A.M.C. & K+L Wines ((shudder, flinch, vomit)).]
Long Live Bruun Rasmussen!!
If properly stored the ‘75 LMHB is a melange of stewed plums, baking spices, pencil lead, teak oil, bruised strawberry liqueur, singed granite, smoldering cedar and bay leaf. Outstanding.
This wine was deemed unsaleable (though apparently stealable) by some lords of HALA, and I popped it on the spot with the warehousemen therein. COUNTERPOINT EFFECTED!
Delicious.
Superb.
