Beginning his collection in the early 1990s with 1985 Ports and La Grande Dame, this consignor built a 500-bottle cellar focused on French wines and impressive large formats. He sourced bottles through en primeur Bordeaux futures, the BCL, the SAQ, and specialty shops during his travels across Europe, South America, and the US. Originally kept in a wine fridge, the collection was later moved to the 13C wine storage, where it has been professionally maintained at a constant temperature. Now realizing he has amassed more than he can drink, he is offering these meticulously cared-for bottles for auction.

This is the tasting note for 2010 Chateau Leoville Barton St Julien from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. The 2010 Leoville Barton is deep garnet in color, and the nose is a little tired, with notes of stewed plums and dried cherries over hints of balsamic, tobacco, spice box and fried herbs. The medium to full-bodied palate has a solid backbone of firm, chewy tannins and plenty of freshness supporting the mature fruit, finishing spicy.
