| Absinthe Pernod Fils "Garanti Fabriqué en 1913" This is the classic "benchmark" Pernod Fils with the labels overprinted "Fabriqué en 1913" (made in 1913). This is a very rare bottling - these bottles were the very last stock produced by Pernod before the ban in 1914. They were sent to Holland for safekeeping and a small quantity were released 25 years later for export in 1938 with this special overprinted label. The balance of the stocks was unfortunately destroyed by bombing during the war. Photos show the bottle still covered in the original cellar dust! |

A mythic champagne in superb condition. |
| Heidsieck Monopole 1907 "Goût américain" from the wreck of the Jönköping On 3rd November 1916 at 5.30am a Swedish schooner "The Jönköping" was sunk by the German submarine U22, 20 miles off the Finnish coast south west of Raumo. On this voyage she was carrying 96 tons of cargo, 60 tons of which were wines and spirits including 50 boxes each supposedly containing 100 bottles of champagne which may have been destined for the Czar's army. The champagne remained undisturbed for 80 years before salvage in 64 metres of water at a constant temperature of 4°C and with water pressure equaling the pressure within the bottles keeping corks tightly in place. Many of the bottles have thus been remarkably preserved and although labels and most of the wires and capsules have long since disappeared, corks so far extracted are clearly branded: "Heidsieck & Co, Reims" on the base and Champagne, Goût Américain 1907 on the side. Those foils which do survive are clearly marked "Monopole". Tastings have proved the champagne to be fantastically youthful both in possibly as high as 165 grams, making it twice as sweet as an average vintage of Château d'Yquem. The amount of sugar in any sweet wine drops as it in matures, but at 4°C the ageing process has been slowed down to such an extent that there is still as much as 44 grams left in this Champagne. The sugar is so thoroughly integrated that although a little sweetness is noticeable when the wine hits the palate, the full sweetness takes time to build in the mouth, as does the flavour. The fruit has a profoundly deep and mellow character, yet it is remarkably light-bodied, extraordinarily elegant and fantastically fresh, with discreet, it is remarkably light-bodied, extraordinarily elegant and fantastically fresh, with discreet, slow building toasty aromas of great finesse. The whole sensation is one of immaculate slow building toasty aromas of great finesse. The whole sensation is one of immaculate flavours in complete harmony, and the mousse rises so quickly to the top of a flute that you flavours in complete harmony, and the mousse rises so quickly to the top of a flute that you have to be careful when pouring it. If you want to smell the depths of the Baltic just lift a section of wax and sniff the cork, but there will not be even the hint of the sea in either the smell or taste of the champagne itself. |
