Comment: Carolyn Holmes, Senior Specialist, London Wine Department said: “There was a packed saleroom for the South Kensington Wine sale, although it was canny telephone bidders who bagged the top lots; A case of Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2003 going at a respectable £2070, 12 festive mixed Madeiras at £1610 and fine Champagne, Salon Le Mesnil at £1495 for 6 bottles. A strong end to the year for South Kensington Wine sales.”
