WTB: 1974 Heitz 'Martha's'

Need one bottle for an upcoming tasting. Great provenance, either original owner or bought long ago and stored correctly.

$1,000 and I pay for shipping and take shipping risk.

Need the label and capsule to look reasonably good and have a neck fill.

Prefer someone in the NY area where I can hand cash for the bottle to avoid shipping risk.

PM if you have and send a few pics.

Updated for higher price. Now $1,000 for the bottle.

If this doesn’t work out for you, there are 2 bottles at the Zachy’s HK auction. Photo looks good. But timing may not work for you depending on when your dinner is.

i’d pay up and get a magnum. other worldly.

If I can’t find, maybe I’ll put off the dinner until I can find one at auction (thanks Paul!).

1982 Latour vs 1985 Sassicaia vs 1974 Heitz ‘Marthas’ seemed like a good blind tasting!

from my experience, the '74 Heitz martha’s pancakes everything else on the table. you should very seriously look for 1974 mayacamas.

The one time I had a '74 Martha’s, it pancaked an otherwise very good '75 La Mission Haut Brion. Legendary stuff.
