This is not from my own personal collection, and I’m trying to help a friend, so please be gentle!
A gentleman in my office once owned a liquor store, and before he closed it, he bought a case of gift-boxed '96 Dom Perignon. He’s stored it untouched ever since. I do not believe he has a wine cellar, so I make no representations as to provenance.
98 Points from The Wine Advocate and 97 from Burghound. “Wheat Thins, tropical fruits, and roasted hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, with crisp acidity buttressing the wines wealth of fruit and intensity, it comes across as extrordinarly zesty. . . A Champagne of fabulous elegance that will offer highly rewarding drinking for decades.” - WA
On Wine Searcher, Wally’s in LA is the cheapest in-stock retailer at $250, and they have 1 bottle. Others are $300+ per. Several single-bottle lots available on wine-bid for $190 right now, but it’s unclear whether they have the boxes and you have to add in a 15% buyer’s premium.
My friend wants the best offer over $2500 for the case. Prefer a local deal (he’s in MD). Buyer assumes all risk upon local pick up or once dropped off for shipping, and buyer covers all shipping costs. Sold as-is where-is.
