Sell DRC Romanée Conti 1990 Legendary Wine

The Dibao Wine team personally received a bottle of 1990 Romanée-Conti at a private residence in Happy Valley. This was not just a high-value transaction, but more like a handover of history spanning three decades.

Collection Record: From a Legendary Vintage to Meticulous Preservation

1990 is recognized by all wine critics as one of the "greatest Burgundy vintages of the 20th century." As we stepped into Mr. Wong's (the seller's) wine cellar, the air seemed to be filled with the scent of time.

Mr. Wong is a retired industrialist in his seventies. He personally acquired this 1990 DRC at a European auction in the late 1990s. He told us, "This wine has been with me for over twenty years, and I've watched the color of its label deepen with time. Now that I'm older, my doctor has advised me to drink less. Rather than letting it age alone in the wine cabinet, it's better to let it go to a collector who can truly appreciate it."

On-site Appraisal:

For such "old vintage" legendary wines, Dibao Wine's appraisal process is extremely rigorous:

  • Fill Level: Surprisingly, the fill level of this 1990 vintage still remained at about 1.5cm below the cork, which is considered a perfect "High Fill" for old wines.
  • Label and Capsule: Although the label showed slight "cellar patina" from long-term storage in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment, the text was clear, and the anti-counterfeit number perfectly matched the original records in our database.

After half an hour of meticulous verification, Dibao Wine provided an earnest offer based on the latest transaction prices from international Sotheby's auctions. Mr. Wong was deeply satisfied with our professional appraisal and respect for old wines, and the transaction was completed via instant transfer on the spot.
