Bill,
Was that supposed to be addessed to me? I was talking about the
current auction at Hart Davis Hart, not Acker. FWIW, if you haven't
seen the auction catalogue at HDH for the "Fox" auction, you should:

It's billed as the largest-ever auction of Lafite, and I have no reason
to doubt them. It's an enormous selection of 1st growth Bdx
principally. My major problem, beyond cost, is that it's almost all
solid cases and I much prefer mixed lots for the variety. YMMV, of course.
