This consignor hails from South Africa originally. When he was young his parents decided to buy a vineyard and in 1979 they produced the first Bordeaux blend in South Africa, and that is when he started his collection. Through his father’s connections he was able to source his South African wines directly from producers and everything else from importers. He bought the DRC wines from Great Domaines when they brought Aubert de Villaine of DRC to South Africa in 2016. He and his wife had an underground cellar in SA and then moved everything to Canada with them, in a reefer, in 2020. Wines were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment prior to auction.
The wine in this lot has a score of 93 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The ruby-colored 1997 Richebourg is big and flavorful. Its rose, violet, talcum powder, and crushed berry-scented nose leads to a boisterous, dense personality. Medium-to-full-bodied and loaded with spices freshly ground black pepper, and blackberries, this is a deeply ripe, expressive wine.
