This collection is the legacy of a passionate collector of prestigious & rare bottles for the past 50 years. The gentleman was fortunate to have been introduced to wine by an older brother who navigated him through the vineyards of the world. The bottles for sale reflect an interest in top grade Bordeaux and very rare large format Super Tuscan wines. These bottles were purchased from an Alberta distributor and stored in a temperature-controlled home cellar from time of purchase through to May 2024. They were then transferred to a temperature-controlled storage facility before shipment to Irongate in September 2025. The collection will certainly please afficionados of rare large format bottles. All the bottles are in impeccable condition with high shoulder levels.
1929 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 97 points, CellarTracker 95 points. This is the tasting note for 1929 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan from Robert Parker - The extraordinary 1929 vintage, which may well have been the vintage of the century, with a style that old timers compare to modern day 1982s, or more recently, the 1990s, produced wines that were wonderfully opulent and unctuous. Henri Woltner wrote that the 1929 La Mission drank fabulously well in 1933, yet he doubted its ability to age well. How wrong he was! Still deep garnet in color with only a trace of amber at the edge, this wine exhibits a fabulously exotic, sensual bouquet filled with aromas of tobacco, blackcurrants, cedar, and leather. On the palate it reveals high alcohol, as well as the remarkably sweet, rich, expansive, staggering concentration of fruit necessary to stand up to the alcohol. This is a velvety, lush, full-bodied wine that it is an incredible privilege to drink.
