Reminiscent of the 2016 with its incredible purity and elegance, the 2018 Chateau Figeac offers a terrific perfume of creme de cassis, redcurrants, dried earth, tobacco, lead pencil, spring flowers, and exotic spice-driven nuances. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it's flawlessly balanced, has silky, polished tannins, and a stunning sense of purity. Composed of 37% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc, wine critic Roger Voss believes this powerful wine may be the greatest ever produced from this estate. While there is a lot to love about this wine right now, this wine is designed to unfold over time. This special multi-format selection of 2018 Chateau Figeac St. Emilion is perfect for those wishing to enjoy this wine in all of its many stages over time.

Any wine lover geeks out over "birth year" wine. Not only do these wines shape up to be highly rated, stellar Bordeaux vintages, but they are also from Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation's birth year. The Foundation is celebrating its 20th anniversary all year long, and we hope that you'll join us by adding these special 2005 wines to your collection!

The Sauternes is a treat that offers everything you could want in a sweet wine with countless layers of honey-slathered, vanilla-tinted ripe, and overripe tropical fruits, roasted nuts, and apricots. Rich, luscious, and also bright, crisp, vibrant, and racy, this wine is so good that it makes it virtualy impossible to put down your glass. Made to age for 20 years, this special 2005 vintage is ready to drink!

In contrast to the sweet flavors of the Sauternes, the Chateau Leoville Poyferre Saint Julien is a serious, big and extracted Bordeaux. Deep color with a crimson rim. The nose is almost bombastic - black and red fruit, espresso grounds, oak spice and a touch of tarragon.

THIS LOT INCLUDES:

• 375mL 2005 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes (RP 98+, WS 97)
• Two (2) bottles of 2005 Chateau Leoville Poyferre Saint Julien (RP 93, WS 92)

RESTRICTIONS: Auction lot redemption will be available by appointment at the DCWAF office starting at 10 am on Tuesday, 10/22/24.
