Wines of Albert Frere sold at Sotheby's

Today there was an auction of the wines of Albert Frere at Sotheby's.

Judging from the estimated and going prices it seems that the crisis is not really hitting too hard on the wine-investors. For example lot 324 (12 bottles of Chateau Petrus 1989) were sold for 2 770.5 Euro per bottle !!!!

As the lot was for 12 bottles, the new owner payed about 33246 Euro for these 12 bottles.

Lot 27 is also nice to see: this is an imperial bottle of 6 liters Chateau Lafitte 2000 that is sold for 8 695Euro. I did not even know they made this big bottles in Bordeaux.

Back to reality: I have a cellar with about 250 bottles. 2 bottles of this Petrus would more than double the value of the complete cellar ...
