The consignor was introduced to wine by friends and colleagues in the early 1990s, just as Alberta privatized alcohol sales. His collecting began around 1994, sparked by the purchase of 1988 Château Margaux—his most expensive bottle at the time. Over the past 30+ years, he has purchased wines through the SAQ, auctions, private imports, and cellars. His temperature-controlled home cellar was built in the early '90s and has housed his collection from the very beginning, maintaining optimal storage conditions throughout.
1966 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - Falstaff Magazine 95 points, CellarTracker 93 points. This is the tasting note for 1966 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - At its apogee, the 1966 Haut-Brion has an attractive, earthy, moderately intense, fruity bouquet. In weight and richness, it is medium weight and bordering on being too lean and light. It is a satisfying, lighter-styled Haut-Brion that is quite attractive, but not really of first-growth proportions.
