An avid collector since the late 1990s, this consignor developed a deep passion for fine wine under the mentorship of an experienced connoisseur. This interest lead him to join the Commanderie de Bordeaux (Halifax), where he secured the majority of his French portfolio through En Primeur selections. His collection, which at its peak exceeded 2,000 bottles, features First Growths acquired primarily through the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission and direct-from-winery allocations. Since 2008, the wines have been meticulously preserved in a custom-built, climate-controlled cellar equipped with professional refrigeration.
1975 Chateau Ausone St Emilion Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 91 points. This is the tasting note for 1975 Chateau Ausone St Emilion Grand Cru from Robert Parker - Considerable amber is creeping in at the edge of this wine, which shows notes of cinnamon, earth, red fruits, dried herbs, and mushroomy, forest floor notes. The wine is medium-bodied, still somewhat tannic, and very complex aromatically. The wine is not showing signs of drying out, but this is hardly a hedonistic style wine for those looking for more fruit-driven efforts.
