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.

2bn, 2nl, 2lscl, dark amber color
Bottle (2)
Property from the estate of a passionate collector. All wines sourced carefully and stored in a temperature and humidity controlled cellar.
"The 1988 d’Yquem has an incredibly profound nose of orange marmalade, dried apricots, honeycomb, musk and dried pineapple with hints of marzipan and crystallized ginger. The palate is seamless with a great line of crisp acid cutting through the densely packed dried tropical fruit and honeyed flavour layers. The finish just goes on and on." (98 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, In Asia, Sept. 2012)
Estimate: $475 - $600.
Shipping Restriction: Please note that we cannot ship to addresses in Mississippi, so please bid accordingly.
