Add not just one, but four bottles of 1981 Mouton-Rothschild, Pauillac, to your collection, from the private collection of longtime CIA friend and Trustee, the late Dr. Joel Spiro, and his wife, Kira. Well-known for his million-dollar wine cellar, Dr. Spiro added to his collection with regular trips to France, his preferred country of origin for wine. Therefore, it's only appropriate that we celebrate his life with this exclusive package containing four of these best bottles from Bordeaux.

Château Mouton-Rothschild, founded by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1853, has always been at the forefront of the greatest wines of Bordeaux. It is the first estate to begin complete on-site bottling of the harvest-a historic step taken by the baron's great grandson, Philippe de Rothschild. Mouton-Rothschild is the only château in the Classification of 1855 to achieve reclassification in 1973 as a Premier Cru Classé, or First Growth, the highest distinction.

The 1981 Pauillac Mouton-Rothschild features the artwork of Arman, a French-American found-object sculptor and key artist of the Nouveau Réalisme (new realism) movement, on the label. This red blend from the village of Pauilliac in Bordeaux is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, and is the best of its vintage. It has a vivid red color with a slightly brickish tint, and gives the aromas of cedarwood, black fruit, and smokey sweetness, like caramel. Its elegance and style are what distinguishes it from other wines typical of great Médoc classics.

Any dedicated wine enthusiast would want to add this exceptional wine, rich in history, to their collection. Don't miss this opportunity!

Included in this package is the Coravin Pivot Wine Preservation System. Extend the life of your everyday wines with the Coravin Pivot Wine Preservation System. Match your wine to your mood, dinner courses, or the weather. The ingenious combination of the Pivot Stopper and Device preserves the remaining bottle for up to 4 weeks, ensuring the last glass is just as amazing as the first.

The perfect package for the wine enthusiast!
