A consignor who has been collecting fine wine since 1988, he became interested in it early on working for the LCBO while in university. He enjoys travels and visiting the world’s wine regions and is a founding shareholder of a wine importing company. The wine in this auction was mainly purchased in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and some in Italy. The bottles were stored in a fridge and a temperature-controlled cellar prior to auction.
The tasting note for 1975 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe is from Robert Parker and the score is 91 - The Château Haut-Brion 1975 has been variable in the past, however this is one of the better examples with deep garnet color. The nose is lively with leather and scorched earth scents infusing the dusky black fruit, later a faint touch of terracotta coming through. The palate is well balanced, quite animally and feral for a respectable First Growth, but that is exactly what lends it its charm. There is just some dryness creeping in on the finish, so I would drink bottles over the next ten years or so. Perhaps given the quality of its sister La Mission Haut-Brion in this year, you would expect more, but it remains a delightful, self-effacing Haut-Brion that is best consumed sooner rather than later.
