This consignor was in the retail wine and agency business as the owner of The Wine Shop in Calgary, the first license holder from Alberta’s privatization initiative in the 1980s. He bought the business from a friend and was seduced by the idea of combining his love of travel and food with finding wine producers to represent and import. Involvement in the industry led to him becoming an enthusiastic collect in 1995. His collection has always been stored in a climate-controlled wine room built in his home, with a capacity of 1500 bottles.
The tasting note for 2004 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac is from Robert Parker and the score is 92 - Last tasted three or four years ago, the 2004 Mouton-Rothschild is a satisfactory wine, even if in my opinion it pales again subsequent success in so-called "challenging" vintages such as 2006 or 2008. It came across tight and broody on the nose, a hint of seaweed tincturing the black fruit, later on a whiff of smoke. It does not feel as refined as either the 2004 Lafite-Rothschild or the 2004 Latour. The palate is medium-bodied and shows more class than the aromatics - cohesive and with just the right amount of grip, a little chewy perhaps but with a pleasant saline sensation towards the "correct" finish.
