This Ontario based consignor is a lifelong wine enthusiast who began building his collection in the 1970s. Despite humble beginnings, he developed a deep appreciation for wine early on, especially French vintages. Over the years, he amassed hundreds of bottles and traveled with his family to wine regions around the world to explore the people, land, and craft behind each bottle. In every home, he built a wine cellar maintained at 11–12°C with stable humidity. A personal touch: he always covered the floor in small pebbles to help prevent bottles from breaking if dropped. Now, after decades of collecting, he is ready to share many of these exceptional wines so others can enjoy and appreciate them as he has.
1970 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac has following scores - Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 97, John Gilman's View from the Cellar 96, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy 96. 1970 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac has the score of 96 from Jeff Leve and the tasting note -The smoky, herbal cassis comes in waves on the nose and palate. Dense, chewy, full-bodied and filled with character and classic complexity, the cassis and spicy black currants on the palate hit all the right notes in the finish. This is drinking at peak. We did not decant. But 15-20 minutes of air would not hurt.
