The consignor installed his wine cellar in early 1991, a project that grew over decades. Many of the bottles were carefully selected during his travels to France and Italy, while others were sourced via government outlets in Quebec and Ontario. Always in a climate-controlled environment, the collection reflected a deep appreciation for fine wine—an interest first sparked years ago while dining at a local restaurant boasting a 40,000-bottle cellar, once the largest in North America. Though his own 1,500-bottle cellar was modest by comparison, it became a treasured part of his life. Now, at 74 and no longer drinking much, he feels it's time to begin letting it go.
The score for 1994 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac is 91 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - 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- 2005-2025. By the way, the Dutch artist, Appel, has created a gorgeous label for the 1994. Although Mouton-Rothschild can be among the most inconsistent first-growths, when this estate gets everything right, the wine can be as compelling as any produced in Bordeaux.
