Collector Wines
Some wines are so good, you almost feel bad while uncorking the bottle. You’d much rather stockpile them in your cellar until you have a collection to rival Dionysus himself. The journey to find the most tempting and inaccessible collector’s wines can be difficult and stressful, but the end result is always worth it. If the stars align, you end up with a selection of wines so awe-inspiring, you just want to sit in your cellar and admire them. There is no occasion in the world that you can’t contribute to with a bottle of extra-rare fine wine, and you can compete with other local collectors and try to outbid them for choice bottles.
The main issue when it comes to acquiring highly collectible bottles is that they’re often hard to obtain. It makes sense, of course – the most prestigious collectibles are the least accessible bottles, ones that can sometimes necessitate a 10-year wait. Also, it should go without saying that many of the world’s finest blends cost a pretty high amount of money. However, that isn’t the case for all of them. At some point, it all comes down to developing an eye for the market and being able to recognize which wines to target before they’re declared classic masterpieces by the general populace.
This is where we come in. We’ve arranged a selection of extremely well-made and luxurious collector’s wines, ones that will make even the most stoic and emotionless critic drop to their knees in sheer envy. Every wine on this page is a veritable work of art, a bottle you can bring out when making a good impression is more important than anything else.

1970 Figeac - 750 ml92RP-NMPart of me thinks that the quality of the 1970 Figeac was overlooked in a strong flight that included the 1959 and 1961. But this has a wonderfully harmonious nose dominated by the Cabernet Sauvignon with touches of forest floor, blackberry..." Learn More- 750 ml$275.00 -
1970 Palmer - 750 ml95RP...the 1970 Palmer is one of the great wines of the vintage. It exhibits a dark, opaque garnet color, and an emerging, fabulously complex, exotic nose of licorice, over-ripe plums and blackcurrants, soy, cedar, and minerals. Rich and concen..." Learn More- 750 ml$540.00 -
1971 Petrus - 750 ml95RPThis wine has been seemingly fully mature since the mid- to late seventies. It is a seductive, opulent vintage for Petrus. The color now is a dark garnet with considerable amber at the rim. The incredible nose of Christmas fruitcake intermi..." Learn More- 750 ml$3,545.00 -

1975 d'Yquem - 750 ml98RPThe 1975 may turn out to be the greatest of the modern-day Yquems. When fully mature in another 25-30 years, it may rival the extraordinary 1937 and 1921...it is awesomely concentrated, has perfect balance, and displays the telltale Yquem a..." Learn More- 750 ml$999.00 -

1978 Margaux - 750 ml94RP-NMAlthough the 1978 is a more powerful, fuller-bodied style of Margaux, it is less charming and fruity than the 1979.
