A consignor who began collecting wine in 1980, inspired by a close friend who introduced him to the world of wine. His passion grew quickly, and over time, his collection expanded to 3,500 bottles. All wines were sourced directly on release from the LCBO, with many acquired through the Bordeaux Futures program. Most remain in sealed original wood cases bearing LCBO labels and his name, ensuring excellent provenance and condition. From the start, all bottles were stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled walk-in cellar at home, with some later transferred to professional storage at IronGate, where the consigned wines are currently held. His collection focuses on Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Italian wines, collected for enjoyment rather than investment.
2012 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 97 points, Wine Enthusiast 97 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 97 points, The Wine Independent 97 points, VertedeVin 97 points, The Wine Advocate 96 points, James Suckling 96 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 96 points, Decanter 96 points, Gilbert & Gaillard 96 points, Wine Spectator 95 points, Tim Atkin, MW 95 points, Winedoctor 95 points. This is the tasting note for 2012 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting, the 2012 Haut-Brion has an open and generous bouquet with blackcurrant pastille, cassis and briary aromas the exude very pure Merlot. The palate is medium-bodied with a sumptuous opening that is rare in 2012 - rounded and generous, caressing in the mouth with black plum and blackcurrant towards the finish, residues of truffle and white pepper lingering on the aftertaste that turn very savory after 15 minutes—bacon fat or Italian cured meats. There is a lot to love about this Haut-Brion although in this blind showing I scored it the same as La Mission Haut-Brion. Who will stick their neck out as the two wines mature?.
