Fine Wine & Spirits At the heart of the sale is a substantial collection of Bordeaux purchased en primeur and maintained in professional storage. The great 2009 and 2010 vintages feature prominently, led by full original cases of Château Mouton Rothschild 2009 and 2010, together with an impressive run of Château Lynch-Bages. Further highlights include Léoville Barton, Clerc Milon, d’Armailhac, Canon-la-Gaffelière, Branaire-Ducru and Le Petit Mouton. Elsewhere in Bordeaux, Château Margaux 2010, Château Haut-Brion 2012 and Château Angélus 1995 are among the major cases offered, while Pétrus 2002 provides an important o/ing highlight. Fine Burgundy forms one of the strongest sections of the sale, led by wines from a large purpose-built private cellar maintained under professional temperature and humidity control. D. Armand Rousseau is represented by Chambertin GC 2018 and G-C 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques 2018, alongside Georges Roumier Bonnes-Mares GC 2018 and J.-F. Mugnier Musigny GC 2009. Further wines from Fourrier, Duroché, Pierre Damoy, Dugat-Py and Olivier Bernstein offer considerable depth across the Côte de Nuits, while white Burgundy includes bottles from D. Leflaive, Roulot and Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. The same cellar also includes mature Champagne from Krug and Dom Pérignon and Giacomo Conterno’s celebrated Barolo Riserva Monfortino. A further private collection brings together Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône assembled over many years, with many wines purchased en primeur and carefully cellared. Highlights include Château Haut-Brion, Château Mouton Rothschild and other leading Bordeaux estates, together with François Lamarche La Grande Rue GC, J.-F. Mugnier Musigny and Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage. The breadth of the collection continues through Champagne, Rhône and Burgundy, offering both mature vintages and highly sought-after modern releases. The spirits section is headed by the remarkable Bowmore 1969 50 Year Old, one of only 339 bottles released and presented in its sculptural wooden case. Irish whiskey is led by the exceptionally rare Midleton 30 Year Old Pure Pot Still, distilled in 1969 and carrying bottle number 04, while Scotch highlights include The Macallan 18 Year Old 1967 and Talisker 1978 41 Year Old. Japanese whisky is represented by two bottlings from Karuizawa’s highly collectible 36 Views of Mount Fuji series, completing one of the most varied spirits selections offered by Adam’s in recent seasons.

TIMED ONLINE AUCTIONS EXPLAINED
This auction is automated and takes place solely online through our website www.adams.ie During this period of o/ bidding you will be able to see the current winning bid on each lot. You may place a higher maximum bid of your choice and the bidding will automatically increase by the next increment. If your maximum bid is several increments higher than the current bid, the bidding will still only increase by one increment until there is a competing bid in which case the system will move up one increment higher in your favour. This process will continue until your maximum amount is outbid. If however, another bidder has left a maximum bid just below your max bid, it will jump to your bid amount in order to beat the other bidder. **The system is designed to give the buyer the best chance of winning their desired lot at the most competitive price, i.e. it will not jump to the maximum bid entered unless there is a competing bid just below it** EXAMPLE: Bidder A leaves a maximum bid of €100, bidder B leaves a maximum bid of €200 on the same lot. Bidder A is now knocked out of the lead and bidder B holds the current winning bid that auto adjusts to €110 (NB not their maximum bid). The system auto adjusts the bid to the next winning increment. User B’s bid will only be further executed if another user bids above their current bid of €110 up to their maximum of €200, after which they will be knocked out and an e-mail issued advising them to increase their bid. Bidders are automatically informed by email if they are the current winning bidder, or if they have been outbid by another competing bidder. If you have been outbid and the auction is still o/, you are free to leave a higher bid. At the end of the defined bidding period*, if the highest bid offered meets the minimum price designated by the Auctioneer (i.e. the seller’s reserve price), the lot is sold. * In a timed auction, the closing time is staggered, with bidding for lot 1 ending at 2pm and each subsequent lot closing one minute after the previous. If there is a flurry of bidding on a lot just as it reaches its closing time, the lot is kept o/ for an extended period of 30 seconds per bid to enable everybody to fairly get their bids in. All winning bidders will be notified by email once the auction has fully ended.

CONDITIONS 17-22 (INCLUSIVE) PREDOMINANTLY CONCERN THE BUYER Non-Payment or Failure to Collect Purchased Lots 17.

(b) To rescind the sale of that Lot or any other Lots sold to the buyer whether at that or any other auction. (c) To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold whether by public auction or private sale. In the event that there is a deficiency between the Total Amount Due by the buyer and the amount received by the Auctioneer on such resale after the deduction of any necessary expenses the difference shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the buyer. Any surplus arising shall belong to the seller. (d) To store (whether at the Auctioneer’s premises or elsewhere) and insure the purchased Lot at the expense of the buyer. (e) To charge interest on the Total Amount Due at the rate of 2% over and above the base interest rate from time to time of Bank of Ireland or if there be no such rate, the nearest equivalent thereto as determined by the Auctioneer in its absolute discretion from the date on which the payment is due hereunder to the date of actual payment. (f) To retain that Lot or any other Lot purchased by the buyer whether at the same or any other auction and release same to the buyer only after payment to the Auctioneer of the Total Amount Due. (g) To apply sums which the Auctioneer received in respect of Lots being sold by the buyer towards settlement of the Total Amount Due. (h) To exercise a lien on any property of the buyer in the possession of the Auctioneer for whatever reason. Liability of Auctioneer and Seller 18. Prior to auction ample opportunity is given for the inspection of the Lots on sale and each buyer by making a bid acknowledges that he has, by exercising and relying on his own judgement, satisfied himself as to the physical condition, age and Catalogue description of each Lot (including but not restricted to whether the Lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored). All Lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. None of the seller, the Auctioneer nor any of their employees, servants or agents shall be responsible for any error of description or for the condition or authenticity of any Lot. No warranty whatsoever is given by the seller or Auctioneer or by any of their employees, servants or agents in respect of any Lot and any condition or warranty express or implied by statute or otherwise is hereby specifically excluded. Forgeries 19. Any amount paid by a buyer in respect of a Lot which, if it is proved within 3 years of the date of the auction at which it was purchased, to have been a Forgery shall be refunded by the seller subject to the provisions hereof, provided that: (a) The Lot has been returned by the buyer to the Auctioneer within 3 years of the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction together with evidence proving that it is a Forgery, the number of the Lot and the date of the auction at which it was purchased; (b) The Auctioneer is satisfied that the Lot is a Forgery and that the buyer has and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free form any third party claims;
FURTHER PROVIDED THAT the buyer shall have no rights here under
if: (i) The description of the Lot in the Catalogue at the time of the auction was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of the scholars or experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion; (ii) The only method of establishing at the time of the auction in question that the Lot was a Forgery would have been by means of scientific processes which were not generally accepted for use until after the date of the auction or which were unresonably expensive or impratical.
The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund of the actual amount paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under no circumstances shall the Auctioneer be liable for any damage, loss (including consequential, indirect or economic loss) or expense suffered or incurred by the buyer by reason of the Lot being a Forgery. The benefit of this condition shall be solely and exclusively for the buyer and shall not be assignable. The buyer shall for the purpose of this condition be the person to whom the original invoice in respect of the sale of the Lot is made. Photographs 20. The buyer authorises the Auctioneer at any time to make use of any photographs or illustrations of the Lot purchased by the buyer for such purposes as the Auctioneer may require. New VAT Regulations 21. All lots are sold within the Auctioneer’s VAT margin scheme. Revenue Regulations require that the buyer’s premium must be invoiced at a rate which is inclusive of VAT. This VAT is not recoverable by any VAT registered buyer. Buyer’s Premium 22. The Auctioneer may also charge a fee to the purchaser “the buyer’s premium”. The buyer’s premium is a commission paid by the buyer to the Agent in addition to the sale price. The standard buyer’s premium shall be 25% inclusive of VAT, and may be subject to change. Internet Bidding 23. These terms and conditions apply to all internet bidding at sales conducted by, or in conjunction with, Adam’s, covering both live auctions and online-only timed auctions. Internet bidding conditions are in conjunction to those which are covered in our General Terms and Conditions of Business. Registration Before you can bid via Internet Bidding, you must register to bid online by signing up for a ‘My Adam’s’ account. Bidders must be registered at least 24 hours prior to the start of any Sale or you may not be able to bid online in that Sale. You will be liable for any and all bids made via your account. Internet Bidding Process Each bid made online shall be final and binding as soon as you click the Bid button. The bidder holds sole responsibility for any bid submitted, including those made in error, and will be held liable for the full payment and collection of the lot if named the winning bidder. In the event of a tie between a bid placed by you online and any other identical bid(s) (including bids made in person at the Sale, telephone bids, absentee bids, and other internet bids), it will be at the auctioneer’s discretion as to which bid shall be accepted. Adam’s reserves the right to reject a registration to bid online, withdraw its permission for you to use Internet Bidding, or terminate an Internet Bidding account, for any reason at any time prior to, during or after a Sale without prior notice. If you choose to use the Internet Bidding service, you do so entirely at your own risk. Adam’s does not take responsibility for any issues regarding internet bidding functionality or delays which may occur due to software or hardware complications.

As regards Lots not held by the Auctioneer on its premises or under its control the seller warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer and the buyer that the Lot will be available and in a deliverable state on demand by the Auctioneer or buyer.

A reserve once in place may only be changed with the consent of the Auctioneer. A commission shall be charged on the ‘knock-down’ bid for Lots which fail to reach the reserve price. Such commission shall be 5% of the ‘knockdown’ bid (Buying In Fee). This commission and any VAT payable thereon must be paid before removal of the Lot after the auction. The minimum commission hereunder shall be €25 per lot. The Auctioneer may in its sole discretion sell a Lot at a Hammer Price below the reserve but in such case the Proceeds of Sale to which the seller shall be entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reserve.Unless a reserve has been placed on a Lot in accordance with the provisions set out above such Lot shall be put up for sale without reserve. In the event that any reserve price is not reached at auction then for so long as the Lot remains with the Auctioneer and to the extent that the Lot has not been re-entered in another auction pursuant to condition 36 the seller authorises the Auctioneer to sell the Lot by private treaty at not less than the reserve price. The Auctioneer shall ensure that in such a case those conditions herein which concern mainly the buyer shall, with any necessary modifications, apply to such sale. Reserve Instructions Fixed - sell at a pre-determined value, no higher than the low estimate Discretion - sell up to 10% below the low estimate Wide Discretion - sell up to 30% below the low estimate No Reserve - sell to the highest bidder Sell - sell to the highest bidder at any amount irrespective of the Lot value Loss Warranty 28.

If the seller instructs the Auctioneer not to insure a Lot then the Lot shall at all times remain at the risk of the seller who undertakes to indemnify the Auctioneer and hold the Auctioneer harmless against any and all claims made or proceedings brought against the Auctioneer of whatever nature and howsoever and wheresoever occurring for loss or damage to the Lot. The sum for which a Lot is covered for insurance under this condition shall not constitute and shall not be relied upon by the seller as a representation, warranty or guarantee as to the value of the Lot or that the Lot will, if sold by the Auctioneer, be sold for such amount. Such insurance shall subsist until
such time as the Lot is paid for and collected by the buyer or, in the case of Lots sold which are not paid for or collected by the buyer by the due date hereunder for payment or collection such due date or, in the case of Lots which are not sold, on the expiry of 7 days from the date on which the Auctioneer has notified the seller to collect the Lots.

The Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale to the seller not later than 30 days after the date of the auction, provided however that, if by that date, the Auctioneer has not received the Total Amount Due from the buyer then the Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale within 7 working days after the date on which the Total Amount Due is received from the buyer.

VAT SYMBOLS, EXPLANATIONS AND REFUNDS Introduction This guide outlines the Value Added Tax (VAT) treatment of lot(s) sold at auction through Adam’s. It covers the most common types of transactions, although other situations may arise. As every buyer’s situation is different, we cannot offer specific tax advice. In all cases the relevant tax legislation takes precedence. You are advised to, and are responsible for, obtaining independent tax advice where necessary. Depending on the status of the lot, and your status as a buyer, VAT may be charged on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium or both. Any such taxes will be identified at lot level, therefore it is important to familiarize yourself with the key symbols below. Most lot(s) are sold in accordance with the Irish Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme and accordingly VAT will not normally be charged on the hammer price. Adam’s must bear VAT on the Buyer’s Premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at the standard rate on these premiums i.e., the invoiced buyer’s premium of 25% will therefore include the VAT. Said lots are identified with no symbol denoted beside the lot number. A limited range of goods, including most books, are subject to a 0% rate of VAT and therefore no amount in lieu of VAT will be added to the Buyer’s Premium. Ɵ Where Lots have been imported from outside the European Union, and are under a Temporary Admission Authorisation, they will be denoted by the symbol * shown beside the lot number in the catalogue. They may be subject to additional charges on the hammer price which should be the relevant prevailing rate in the jurisdiction of import on the date of importation.

General Exporting Lots from the European Union Where a Lot is exported from the European Union in accordance with the conditions detailed below the VAT may be cancelled or refunded by Adam’s as follows: 1. Lots sold under the Auctioneers Margin Scheme – the amount charged in lieu of VAT on the buyer’s premium. 2. Lots under the Temporary Admission Authorisation - the amount charged in lieu of VAT on the buyer’s premium PLUS the prevailing Irish import VAT. Original correct export document is required from the Irish Revenue Commissioners showing that the lot has been exported from the European Union. A. Cancellation of VAT charges Where a buyer instructs an Adam’s authorised carrier to facilitate the transportation of the lot then a zero-rated invoice can be issued. The proof of export in the form of an export declaration to the Irish Revenue Commissioners will be facilitated by Adam’s customs agent. B. Refund of VAT Charges Where a buyer makes their own arrangements for transportation of the lot(s), the buyer must pay for the lot(s) in full including all elements of the Irish VAT. ONLY upon receipt of satisfactory proof of export (i.e. a copy of the export declaration to the Irish Revenue Commissioners showing that the lot has been exported from the European Union) will Adams then refund to the Buyer the amount of VAT initially paid. 1. VAT TO BE REFUNDED MUST BE €50 OR MORE PER SHIPMENT 2. A PROCESSING FEE OF €20 (PLUS ANY APPLICABLE VAT) WILL APPLY. Adam’s, upon request and for an administrative fee, may apply for a license to export your lot(s) outside of the EU. Miscellaneous 1. Buyers from outside the European Union should note that upon importing lots to their final destination outside the European Union, local import VAT, import duties, sales taxes and/or use taxes may be payable. Please consult your local tax advisor. 2. If you purchase a lot which is under a Temporary Admission Authorisation (indicated by a * symbol and intend to export it from the European Union for repair, restoration or alteration, please contact Adams before collection. Failure to do so may result in the import VAT becoming payable immediately and Adam’s being unable to refund the VAT charged on deposit. 3. If you collect the Lot from Adams in Ireland with a view to “hand-carrying” it back to its final destination, you must pay the Irish VAT in full. Adams cannot cancel or refund the Irish tax in these circumstances.
