This consignor’s fascination with wine began with a deep appreciation for the history, craft, and regional diversity of the world's great producers. Over time, that curiosity turned into collecting exceptional bottles built to age. Built over several years, his collection was assembled gradually with an emphasis on provenance, careful selection, and long-term cellaring rather than immediate consumption. The majority of the cellar was acquired through Iron Gate Auctions, supplemented by select purchases from provincial boards—including the LCBO, BCL, and AGLC—and acquisitions made while traveling. Once acquired, the wines were kept in dedicated, temperature-controlled storage—safely protected from light and vibration—where they remained untouched until consignment to ensure optimal condition.
1994 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 94 points, Tom Cannavan 94 points, Vinous 93 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 93 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 93 points, The Wine Advocate 92 points, CellarTracker 92 points. This is the tasting note for 1994 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - This is one of the surprise sleeper wines of the vintage which has more successes than many people suspect in spite of all the rain. The tremendous drainage enjoyed by the Haut Brion vineyard worked in its favor during this wet September harvest. The color is deep plum/ruby with a bit of lightening at the edge. Notes of compost, truffle, earth, spice box, dried herbs, and licorice compete with sweet black cherry and currant fruit. The wine is medium-bodied, with a relatively plump, chewy feel to it. It is certainly one of the top half dozen or so wines of the vintage. The tannins are still there, but the wine seems far more accessible than the two bigger wines that Haut Brion produced in 1995 and 1996.. 1994 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 94 points, John Kapon Vintage Tastings 93 points, John Kapon - Vintage Tastings 93 points, Vinous 92 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 92 points, CellarTracker 92 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 92 points. This is the tasting note for 1994 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac from Robert Parker - Drunk from magnum, the 1994 Latour is showing brilliantly, bursting with aromas of dark fruits, English walnuts, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and woodsmoke. Medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy, it's layered and concentrated, with sweet tannins, succulent acids and a long, sapid finish. The wine of the vintage in Bordeaux, I just wish I owned a case.. 1994 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 92 points, Wine Spectator 91 points, James Suckling 91 points, CellarTracker 91 points, Decanter 90 points. This is the tasting note for 1994 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac from Robert Parker - After less than persuasive performances in two potentially great years, 1989 and 1990, Mouton-Rothschild appears to have settled down, producing fine efforts in recent vintages, culminating with the enormously promising, unquestionably profound 1995. The 1994 appears to be the finest Mouton-Rothschild made following the 1986 and before the 1995's conception. The wine exhibits a dense, saturated purple color, followed by a classic Mouton nose of sweet black fruits intermingled with smoke, pain grillee, spice, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, with outstanding concentration, a layered feel, plenty of tannin, and rich, concentrated fruit, this wine is similar to the fine 1988. Anticipated maturity
