The Late Gene Mulvihill Collection Online Auction

By Amanda Crawford

It is my pleasure to present The Late Gene Mulvihill Collection, one of the best consignments to come through Spectrum’s cellar door. Mr. Mulvilhill was a titan in the world of wine collecting. Marked with characteristic passion and zest for life, a boyish enthusiasm and a belief that with focus and determination anything is possible, Mr. Mulvilhill dedicated himself to building the best cellar in the world. His passion and presence are sorely missed. 

Château Haut-Brion 1989 1.5L (Lot 34) & Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2000 1.5L (Lot 39)

Château Latour 2000 (Lot 2)

Over the course of many years, he assembled one of the world’s premier wine collections and became a wellknown wine connoisseur. He used state-of-the-art technology to ensure every bottle from his cellar was pristine and of perfect provenance. In fact, when verifying the provenance of the 1950 Château Lafleur (lot 73), we were able to use Château Latour’s proprietary DNA testing machine to confirm the age of the wine in the bottle! 

This is but a small slice of the personal wine collection of Mr. Mulvihill, but what a slice! The Bordeaux lover is in great company with cases of First Growths, included his beloved Latour, along with Super Seconds and the rarest of Pomerol and St. Emilion. The wines, like their owners, need little in the way of introduction, and we wish you happy bidding.
