THE SANCHAYA BINTAN The Sanchaya’s glass-walled cellar and wine and cheese tasting area, called The Decanter, showcases hundreds of bottles of premium and discovery wines, including a certain 2000 Chateâu Mouton Rothschild Rehoboam 5L (pictured with The Sanchaya’s alluring new estate sommelier Jeroen L’abée). Priced at a cool US $16,000, this remarkable bottle of red ranks as the Pauillac estate’s most pricy wine of the past 30 years. The Sanchaya still has two of only 5000 ever produced, and the bottle in itself is a collector’s item, adorned with a gold reproduction of the Augsburg Ram, a chased silver-gilt drinking vessel created around 1590 by master goldsmith Jakob Schenauer. 50 ILHA
