Egon Muller Break-In, Theft

Posted on their instagram a few hours ago.
Looks like they had a break-in and labels for the 2018 TBA were stolen. They have listed the bottle numbers and formats (375, 750, 1500ml) of the stolen bottles for people to look out for.

Wow. Are the TBAs individually numbered and those are the numbers they’re listing? I wouldn’t know, since I don’t even have enough money to look at those wines.

That sucks. I can’t imagine them bottling TBA mags, nor what they would cost.

Or how old we would be when they are ready to drink…

Very glad to see Muller be pro-active in publishing this information. I will certainly be saving that data in my files and hope all appraisers who see it do the same.

Fascinating! The thieves really knew what they were doing - taking labels only (lightweight, easy to carry) for the most expensive bottling. This wasn’t some random theft, there is a real plan behind it.
