New Bidding Format – Extended Bidding: Starting with Auction #24174 closing on Sunday, December 19th, Heritage’s Showcase Wine Auctions are changing to the Extended Bidding format.
In these Extended Bidding auctions, anyone can bid until regular proxy bidding ends (6 PM CT for these) on the night the auction closes. Then, those who have already bid on a lot may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids during the extended bidding period (5 minutes for these) which resets after each new bid during extended bidding. This format will replace the Heritage Live session that now occurs at the end of the auction.

Description
Kopke Vintage Port 1978Colheita
Double-Magnum (1)
Wines from the Corsa Collection! All purchased on release and stored in an incredible subterranean cellar with redundant temperature and humidity control.
"The 1978 Colheita Tawny Port was bottled in 2015 with 119 grams per liter of residual sugar and a bar top cork (typical for the house). It is very graceful for its age, finishing with a wave of sweetness, fruit and sugar. Emphasizing the caramel more than the molasses, this is irresistibly delicious, but it becomes more complex and puts on weight as it airs and warms. The wine shows off its power and hints of Brandy on the rather tense finish, too. Overall, this is a beauty that becomes more impressive the longer you sit with it. Then, you realize that its balance is simply perfect, yet it stands out in most every category. This is very fine and the price is pretty nice for the age and the quality." (94 pts. Mark Squires, Wine Advocate, March 2016)
Estimate: $280 - $375.
Shipping Restriction: Please note that we cannot ship to addresses in Mississippi, so please bid accordingly.
