MELBOURNE Kris Versteeg Youth Jersey , July 21 (Xinhua) -- A 66-year-old bottle of Australian wine has sold for more than 41,000 U.S. dollars in Melbourne, it was confirmed on Friday.


The bottle of 1951 Penfolds Grange Hermitage was auctioned off by MW Wines on Wednesday night with an unnamed collector taking the piece of history home for 41,110 U.S. dollars.


The vintage, Penfold's first, was produced by Max Schubert TJ Brodie Youth Jersey , the prestigious company's chief winemaker at the time, and was never made publicly available.


It is believed that around 1,800 bottles of the wine were produced, 20 of which still exist today. It is the first sale of the 1951 wine since another bottle was sold for 39,870 U.S. dollars in 2004.


Nick Stamford, managing director of MW Wines Mark Giordano Youth Jersey , said it was a "staggering" price for "a piece of history."


He said that the wine had been tasted by Schubert in 1993 and Penfolds' current chief winemaker in 2012 who confirmed it was still in excellent condition.


"The 1951 is now quite notorious for many of them being not in great shape for drinking. Some are fantastic, but very variable. There is the old saying -- there is no great old wines, there is just great old bottles," Stamford told Australian media on Friday.


"Some bottles still have fruit sweetness and flavor length. Largely the wine has a dull tawny color and skeletal palate structure with little flesh and fading tannins," he said.


"I would imagine this one's going to be part of history rather than being drunk. It's an investment," he added.


Penfolds is Australia's best-known winemaker with vintages regularly being sold for thousands of dollars despite some experts disputing that it's Australia's best wine.


"While it's an iconic style of wine Jaromir Jagr Youth Jersey , it's a style a lot of people, including myself, don't particularly enjoy," Ian McKenzie, director of The Wine Society, said.


"There are and have been better wines than Grange but (Grange) has the cachet with the consumers and the collectors and that's why the price holds up."

"I want to ask a favour of you; I want you to come for a walk with me."
"Where to?"
"Nowhere in particular; anywhere you like."
"But what for?"
He hesitated.
"I–can’t tell you–at least, it’s very difficult; but please come if you can."
He raised his eyes suddenly from the ground, and she saw how strange their expression was.
"There is something the matter with you," she said gently. He pulled a leaf from the flower in his button-hole, and began tearing it to pieces. Who was it that he was so oddly like? Someone who had that same trick of the fingers and hurried Michael Frolik Womens Jersey , nervous gesture.
"I am in trouble," he said, looking down at his hands and speaking in a hardly audible voice. "I –don’t want to be alone this evening. Will you come?"
"Yes, certainly, unless you would rather go to my lodgings."
"No; come and dine with me at a restaurant. There’s one on the Signoria. Please don’t refuse, now; you’ve promised!"
They went into a restaurant Mike Smith Womens Jersey , where he ordered dinner, but hardly touched his own share, and remained obstinately silent, crumbling the bread over the cloth, and fidgeting with the fringe of his table napkin. Gemma felt thoroughly uncomfortable, and began to wish she had refused to come; the silence was growing awkward; yet she could not begin to make small-talk with a person who seemed to have forgotten her presence. At last he looked up and said abruptly:
"Would you like to see the variety show?"
She stared at him in astonishment. What had he got into his head about variety shows?
"Have you ever seen one?" he asked before she had time to speak.
"No; I don’t think so. I didn’t suppose they were interesting."
"They are very interesting. I don’t think anyone can study the life of the people without seeing them. Let us go back to the Porta alla Croce."
When they arrived the mountebanks had set up their tent beside the town gate Troy Brouwer Womens Jersey , and an abominable scraping of fiddles and banging of drums announced that the performance had begun.
