Saturday, October 28 at 9am

At the Chicago Athletic Association12 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago

Those bidding or sending inquiries should refer to this auction as Sale #0610 “LORD STANLEY”

October, 2006

This is an exciting time in the wine auction industry. The level of public awareness of wine has never been greater, amazing cel-lars continue to come to market and, as a result, prices are higher than ever. With the arrival of the 2005 Bordeaux futurescampaign, we have seen prices on benchmark Bordeaux move to even higher levels. As the leading sector in the fine wine market, this promises to pull up the broader market overall. There have been those who question the sustainability of currentmarket levels. I am optimistic, as new buyers from all over the world are spending more on high end wine than ever before. Itis critical that our team, the most experienced in the industry, provide buyers with wines of impeccable provenance, and that wedeliver them efficiently anywhere in the world. Based on our vast experience, we implement new technologies and procedurescontinually to increase our efficiency and the simplicity of the transaction for both our buyers and consignors. When it comes totaking care of our clients, I believe we are the best in the industry. Our results reflect that.

Our second sale of the fall season includes all of the elements of a great auction, and puts us on pace in 2006 for more than 50%annual growth in just our second year in business. I am proud that much of the auction consists of property from consignorswho have previously sold with Hart Davis Hart and have returned with additional portions of their cellars. We are honored tobring collections of such remarkable provenance to the market, and it is a testament to our team that our consignors keep coming back to HDH. We have a truly remarkable staff that combines experience and passion. We truly care about our customers, and I think that that shows both in the high prices that we achieve, and our industry-leading sell-through rates.

Our October auction begins with a stunning group of 2000 Bordeaux from Hockey great Mario Lemieux (Lots 1-30). Followingthis impressive group, we are offering a collection with exceptional provenance (Lots 89-204) that features mature Bordeaux andBurgundy, including 1945 Mouton-Rothschild (Lot 97) and 1962 Romanée-Conti (Lot 162) among many other rarities. This is oneof those rare consignments of older wines that were bought on release, some as many as 50 years ago. The old strip labelsseen on the bottles in this consignment are a reminder of the importance of truly remarkable provenance, something seldombrought to auction in North America by any firm. This is a special collection, the kind that our team of experts, the most experienced in the industry, dream about finding. It was a pleasure for our staff to catalog.

There are several other exceptional wines on offer in this auction. An extremely rare double-magnum of 1982 Chateau Pétrus(Lot 419), single bottles of 1934 and 1978 Romanée-Conti (Lots 420 & 421), magnificent DRC assortments from 1992, 1997, 1998,1999 and 2000 (Lots 467-472) and the final installment of a consignment of Madeira from one of the leading collectors of thiswine (Lots 440-456).

We hope to see you in the great city of Chicago for this or one of our upcoming auctions. Thank you for your continuing support.

Sincerely,

Paul HartPresident

PROPERTY OF A LONG-ESTABLISHED WESTCOAST COLLECTOR: A MAGNIFICENT SELECTION OF FINEST & RAREST WINESWITH IMPECCABLE PROVENANCE AND INREMARKABLE CONDITION

We are honored to offer this stunning selection ofwines from the cellar of a west coast gentleman whohas been actively collecting since 1957 - essentially ahalf-century. The vast majority of the wines wereacquired by the current owner from reputableAmerican merchants upon initial release. As a tool forunderstanding the provenance of the collection, wehave chosen to include the importer strip in variousphotographs in the catalog. A portion of the wines wassourced from Christie's London, cellared at TrappsCellars, and eventually transferred to the US. Duringhis nearly half-century of collecting, the owner alwayscellared his wines at an ideally humid 57°F, and as aresult most bottles in this collection are in remarkablecondition.

Encompassing great rarities including Mouton 1945,Lafite 1959 in magnum, Yquem 1945, and Romanée-Conti 1962, this offering presents an unusual opportu-nity for collectors to acquire legendary wines of the20th Century in astounding condition.

Château Mouton-Rothschild 1945Pauillac, 1er cru classeOne very high shoulder, two high shoulder level; all labels veryslightly bin soiled; all with two-piece “Victoire” labels“... the 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is truly one of the immortalwines of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because ofits remarkably exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, cof-fee, tobacco, mocha, and Asian spices. It is an extraordinarilydense, opulent, and rich wine, with layers of creamy fruit,behaving more like a 1947 Pomerol than a structured, powerful,and tannic 1945. The wine finishes with a 60+ second display ofripe fruit, extract, and sweet tannin....” (100 points) RobertParker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)

EXTREMELY RARE ROMANÉE-CONTI FROMTHE CELLAR OF A GENTLEMAN

Removed From an Ideal Custom-Built Cellar ThatMaintains a Constant 50°F and 70% Humidity.

A friend of John Hart for nearly three decades, thislong-standing member of the Society of Bacchus’ pas-sion for wine began shortly after the release of the1961 vintage, and his cellar is a treasure trove ofBordeaux and Burgundy from the past four decades.Bordeaux and Burgundy consumed from his extensivecellar have been mentioned frequently in the highly-regarded journal Rarities by Dennis Foley and JohnTilson. The 1934 Romanée-Conti was purchased fromPigall’s, a historic restaurant in downtown Cincinnati,upon its closing in 1990. The restaurant was at theforefront of fine French dining for over three decades.The 1978 was acquired upon release directly from theUnited States distributor and has been carefully cel-lared ever since. We are delighted to bring thesetreasures to you.

The aro-mas just soar from the glass with dazzling freshness and nuanceplus layers upon layers upon layers of superbly detailed violetand spice-infused aromas. The nose was literally so captivatingthat I didn’t even taste the wine for almost 20 minutes, whichthen revealed deep, sweet and impossibly rich and pure mediumfull flavors that culminate in a palate staining and hugely long fin-ish... should be capable of lasting another 20 to 30 years thoughwhy anyone would wait is hard to fathom.

Terrantez Madeira 1795 BarbeitoLot 440: All base neck level; two chipped wax capsules; Lot 441:chipped wax capsule; Lot 442: all base neck levelThe Terrantez wines are exceedingly rare, as the varietal wasnot replanted following the outbreak of the phylloxera lousein 1872. Madeira from the Terrantez grape has a firm, almostbitter quality from having been fermented with skins andstems. Additionally Barbeito is known for producing wineswith slightly higher acidity, the combination of varietal andproducer make for a nearly eternal wine.

Châteauneuf du Pape, Cuvée Capo 1998 Domaine du Pegau

Rhône“The debut release of 1998 Cuvée da Capo...is profound. Thecolor is a dense, thick-looking, ruby/garnet/purple. The aromasbegin slowly, but then roar from the glass like an out-of-controllocomotive, offering up a smorgasbord of candied black fruits,pepper, garrigue, earth, and truffles. Enormously thick andrich...” (100 points) Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #138,December 2001


Châteauneuf du Pape, Cuvée de Mon Aïeul 2001 Pierre Usseglio

Rhône“Red-ruby. Raspberry liqueur, game and exotic woodsmoke onthe nose. Large-scaled, powerful and dense, with an impres-sive, solid core of almost medicinal black cherry and dark berryfruit. Very deep, rich, young Châteauneuf with strong but ripepalate-coating tannins and superb persistence. This will rewardseven to ten years of cellaring.” (93 points) Stephen Tanzer,International Wine Cellar, January/February 2004

The new oak seems tohave been sucked up completely, and the wine shows softnessand evolution. Nevertheless, it is still a very youthful, backward,spectacular wine that has surreal levels of richness and poten-tial complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2024.” (98 points)eRobertParker, February 2002


Torbreck Vintners Shiraz, Run Rig 1998Barossa Valley“...The color is an opaque purple, and the bouquet offers an exot-ic concoction of tropical fruit, blackberry liqueur, creme de cas-sis, smoke, and honeysuckle notes...sumptuous and full-bod-ied, with a skyscraper-like profile of fabulous concentration andlength that builds in the mouth...This luxurious, compellinggem displays a level of complexity and delineation that is rare ina wine of such size.” (99 points) Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #135, June 2001
