An interesting wine auction

Wine from Peter Lehmann private cellar up for sale | The Courier-Mail:

A collection of wines considered to be a national treasure has been unlocked from the Barossan legend Peter Lehmann’s private cellar to be sold to collectors, history buffs and wine lovers.
The first lots of thousands of wines ranging in vintages from 1945 to 1976 have been released by Peter Lehmann’s wife Margaret and sons David and Phil after being catalogued and many tasted by Barossa-based vintage wine expert Jeremy Holmes.
The cellar, which Peter Lehmann thought of as a “museum” or “library” was always considered more than just a collection for old wines’ sake.
He used its contents as his reference points so he could relate back to vintage conditions, varieties, blends and technical data.
