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.
1999 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 95 points, The Wine Advocate 94 points, Jamie Goode 94 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 94 points, Jeb Dunnuck 94 points, Wine Spectator 93 points, CellarTracker 93 points. This is the tasting note for 1999 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac from Robert Parker - The 1999 Latour doesn't quite dominate the competition the way the 1994 does, but it, too, is a lovely wine, exhibiting notes of blackcurrants, cigar wrapper, rich soil tones and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively concentrated, with velvety tannins, ripe acids and a long, expansive finish, it is showing beautifully today.
