Duty Free Records Highest Ever Single Purchase

So, you've checked in for your flight and like all good travelers you've allowed a few minutes spare to do some Duty Free 


You search in your pockets to get rid of your loose change and you wonder "what am I going to do with this last 70,000 pounds?" 


Believe it or not a Duty free store in Dubai airport has just registered the highest ever single travel purchase of wine in the world. 


I'm guessing he carried on the purchase and didn't check it in!

SPECIAL RELEASE

 DOM PERIGNON 1996 

We have been offered a 40 case parcel (OWCx12) of the excellent 1996 Dom Perignon (in green gift box)

This item is very rare in Hong Kong and you will have to act quick if you would like to purchase.

But that's not all! We have also secured this at a price well below the market rate.

1996 Dom Perignon  $1,880 per bottle. 

Original Sealed Gift Box

Available for immediate shipment

No Minimum Quantity.

Tasting Notes:

The 1996 Dom Perignon is superb. Layers of roasted nuts, spices, tar, smoke, acacia blossoms and a light touch of honey emerge from the glass, adding complexity to the fruit. This large-scaled Dom Perignon is currently in a beautiful place where early tertiary notes have begun to appear, yet the wine retains plenty of freshness. This is a terrific Dom Perignon that can be enjoyed today but that also promises much pleasure for the future. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2029

Wine Advocate 95pts

This features floral, candied citrus, pencil shaving and hazelnut aromas and flavors. It's fresh and focused, with a firm structure offset by a mouth filling richness and a lacy texture. 

Wine Spectator 93pts

Meet The Wine Maker - Sandra Tavares de Silva

 

Portugal has some of the most sought after wine growing regions in the world and you will find the ladies of the Douro Valley are leading the charge. We'd like to introduce you to Van Zellers chief oenologist Sandra Tavares de Silva.

Sandra has a university degree in agriculture from ISA (Lisbon University) and a Master in oenology from Italy.

Sandra started her professional career as a trainee at José Maria da Fonseca (producers of Periquita and Lancers, amongst others) and with Cristiano Van Zeller in 1999. She became a full time oenologist at Vale D. Maria in January 2000 and has been the chief oenologist and wine partner since then.

Sandra is one of the star oenologists in Portugal, producing some of the top wines in the country and she shares her wine making passion with her husband, wine maker Jorge Borges (Pintas and others).

For more information on Sandra and the wines of Van Zellers call Dean at +852 9730 0781 or deanaslin@saveurs.com.hk.
