The consignor was introduced to wine by friends and colleagues in the early 1990s, just as Alberta privatized alcohol sales. His collecting began around 1994, sparked by the purchase of 1988 Château Margaux—his most expensive bottle at the time. Over the past 30+ years, he has purchased wines through the SAQ, auctions, private imports, and cellars. His temperature-controlled home cellar was built in the early '90s and has housed his collection from the very beginning, maintaining optimal storage conditions throughout.
1995 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 97 points, Wine Spectator 96 points, Jeremy Oliver 95 points, James Halliday 95 points. This is the tasting note for 1995 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from Robert Parker - An impressive Grange that may ultimately prove to be underrated, like many wines from this vintage, the 1995, a blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, exhibits a saturated plum/purple color and a sweet blackberry liqueur nose intermixed with cassis, licorice, and new oak. The wine is textured, jammy, full-bodied, with impressive levels of extract, glycerin, and black fruit flavors. It is long, ripe, with unobtrusive acidity and tannin.
