Château Pontet Canet 1945, Pauillac 5me Cru Classé, UK John Harvey & Son (4)

An exceptional collection of rare bottles removed from an Irish country house. Most of these wines are all that remain from a cellar purchased by the vendor's father in 1955 for £500 from his cousin, based on a valuation by Berry Bros. & Rudd, who had originally suppled many of them.
