I must say that placing a 300k bid, putting my money on the line, is not a joke, but being a part of this historic lot means a lot to me whether I win or not. I would never have imagined where this lot would go. 650k hammered, 812.5k realized, 254.5k above the previous record. Congrats to whoever bought this RC45.

Rudy thanks you too.
omg imagine spending the cost of an entire house on wine that you’re just gonna drink in like an hour 😭 my broke college self could never.
I know is the most hyped bottle of all time and it would be magical to own such a coveted bottle for collector’s purposes, but is there any chance an 80 year old red burgundy is still tasting good? Like, is there any scenario where somebody opens this to drink at a fine occasion but it’s just red wine vinegar at this point?
One question: why?
Unless you have “fu” money, why buy something like this? 🤔 Straight collectors piece, no way its any good (inserts Coravin library needle).
Just think Jeff Nezos or Elon Musk could use this as a vinaigrette for their salad and not think twice.
Not sure if it counts but I thought a bottle of Sonoma Malbec from Aperture sold for a million. Might have been a charity thing tho.
I believe the last vintage of RC made from ungrafted vines? Insane price, but if I had that kind of money I’d make a serious bid for this (to drink, fuck collecting.)
