A Consignor, located in Vancouver, who has been collecting wine since the 1990s. While in university he worked at one of Calgary’s first private wine stores, J. Webb Wine and it was there that he learned about wine and developed an interest in collecting. All the wine was purchased from private stores in Vancouver and Calgary except for the Mondavi wines which came straight from the winery. He stored all bottles in a temperature and humidity controlled Vintage Keeper wine cabinet prior to them coming to auction.
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.
