This collector was introduced to wine through a friend. He was fortunate enough to share a bottle of 1985 Sassicaia, which sparked his interest and in 1993 he began his own collection. Parts of his collection were purchased through the Fisher Fund Wine auction, while many of his best wines were purchased through LCBO futures and JJ Buckley in Oakland California. All wines were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled wine cellar.
The rating for 2006 Chateau Leoville Barton St Julien is 92 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Léoville-Barton has a surprisingly rich and opulent bouquet at first, although it calms down with aeration, offering crushed violet and black cherry scents, reminiscent of a fine Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth. Here the class begins to appear with fine balance and poise, but like the Langoa, it lacquers the mouth with tannins and feels very backward, surprising given the vintage. Cellar this for another decade, folks.
