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.
1995 Chateau Margaux from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 99 points, Wine Spectator 97 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 97 points. This is the tasting note for 1995 Chateau Margaux from Robert Parker - Bottled very late (November, 1997), the 1995 has continued to flesh out, developing into one of the great classics made under the Mentzelopoulos regime. The color is opaque ruby/purple. The nose offers aromas of licorice and sweet smoky new oak intermixed with jammy black fruits, licorice, and minerals. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with extraordinary richness, fabulous equilibrium, and hefty tannin in the finish. In spite of its large size and youthfulness, this wine is user-friendly and accessible. This is a thrilling Margaux that will always be softer and more evolved than its broader-shouldered sibling, the 1996. How fascinating it will be to follow the evolution of both of these vintages over the next half century. Anticipated maturity- 2005-2040.
