A few unsold lots from The Lawrence Collection. These spectacular wines exhibit excellent color, though a few fills might be a little shy. We have sold over $3M of wine to date from this extraordinary collection, which is stored underground in the most precise of scientifically-dictated storage conditions.

"Some bricking though the center is still ruby. The wonderfully elegant nose is still quite fresh with some remaining vestiges of primary fruit though it has now largely passed into secondary aromas trimmed in the classic La Tâche spice and plenty of anise, clove and hoisin notes. The rich, full-bodied, beautifully detailed flavors display a slight edginess to them as there are the beginning traces of acidity poking through on the snappy finish. To be sure, there is plenty of richness and velvet to buffer most of the acidity but it may not for very much longer as this is clearly becoming more and more fragile. Still, the '66 LT is a beauty of a wine if perhaps not quite at its usual august level and it is certainly more reserved than many vintages. Over the years I have found the '66 to be a consistent performer though again, I underscore that it's time to drink up, at least in 750 ml format." (93 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, March 2019)
