Lot #820. Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard 1974

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 98 RP.
"I had this wine twice over a period of thirty days, rating it an astounding 99 and 98 points. A monumental California Cabernet Sauvignon, it appears to have approached its plateau of maturity but should easily last for 20-25 more years. There is no rust, amber, or brown to the saturated dark purple color. The spectacular, huge, Mouton-Rothschild-like nose of mint, cassis, lead pencil, and toast is remarkably youthful. Staggeringly concentrated, this full-bodied, super-rich wine possesses moderate tannin, fresh, lively acidity, and a blockbuster, rich, fleshy finish. This is a monumental effort." Wine Advocate #94, Aug 1994
Provenance: The Chanson Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $4,500
