This consignor’s fascination with wine began with a deep appreciation for the history, craft, and regional diversity of the world's great producers. Over time, that curiosity turned into collecting exceptional bottles built to age. Built over several years, his collection was assembled gradually with an emphasis on provenance, careful selection, and long-term cellaring rather than immediate consumption. The majority of the cellar was acquired through Iron Gate Auctions, supplemented by select purchases from provincial boards—including the LCBO, BCL, and AGLC—and acquisitions made while traveling. Once acquired, the wines were kept in dedicated, temperature-controlled storage—safely protected from light and vibration—where they remained untouched until consignment to ensure optimal condition.
2002 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - Wine Enthusiast 96 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 94 points, Jeb Dunnuck 94 points. This is the tasting note for 2002 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - As it closes in on age 20, the 2002 Haut-Brion is beginning to drink very well, opening in the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, plums, cigar wrapper, loamy soil, burning embers and violets. Fleshing out considerably with an hour or two in the decanter, it's medium-bodied, vibrant and concentrated, exemplifying the ideal of intensity without weight, with a deep core of fruit framed by powdery tannins and lively acids. An underrated wine that has rewarded patience, the 2002 Haut-Brion confirms that great terroirs over-perform in cooler, more challenging years.. 2002 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 95 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 95 points, The Wine Advocate 94 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 94 points, The Wine Front 94 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 94 points, Decanter 93 points, CellarTracker 93 points. This is the tasting note for 2002 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from Robert Parker - A brilliant offering and a candidate for wine of the vintage, this is classic Lafite that reminded me somewhat of the 1976, although the vintage conditions were completely different. This is a medium-weight, quintessentially elegant style of Lafite with notes of lead pencil shavings/graphite along with black currants, plums, and crushed rocks/mineral. Wonderfully pure, dense, with a deep ruby/purple color and loads of fruit, definition, and a long finish, this is a brilliant, elegant Lafite Rothschild that builds incrementally in the mouth and has more power and density than it initially seems.
