Beginning his collection in the early 1990s with 1985 Ports and La Grande Dame, this consignor built a 500-bottle cellar focused on French wines and impressive large formats. He sourced bottles through en primeur Bordeaux futures, the BCL, the SAQ, and specialty shops during his travels across Europe, South America, and the US. Originally kept in a wine fridge, the collection was later moved to the 13C wine storage, where it has been professionally maintained at a constant temperature. Now realizing he has amassed more than he can drink, he is offering these meticulously cared-for bottles for auction.
1997 Dominus Estate Napa Valley from this lot has the following scores - Falstaff Magazine 96 points, The Wine Advocate 94 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 94 points.
