The wines in the auction belonged to the consignor’s wife’s uncle, a man who has since retired and downsized his living arrangements. His passion for wines and spirits was driven by a desire to host and share exceptional bottles with friends and family during dinners and gatherings. The collection was meticulously stored in his basement cellar, where it was kept at a regulated temperature and most bottles were sourced from reputable retailers in Alberta and BCLS.
The score for 1993 DRC Echezeaux Grand Cru is 91 from Burghound, Allen Meadows and the tasting note - The once explosive black fruit nose has now begun to evolve and while still showing obvious class and breed, also displays the front edge of maturing fruit, spice and earth notes along with a hint of herbal character. The still firm but softening flavors possess impressive concentration with excellent depth of extract and lovely persistence. This has all the material it needs for a very long life and it should go for 30 years with no difficulty at all if properly stored. For my personal taste, this has arrived at its peak though I stresss that there is absolutely no rush to drink up because as I note, this should hold for a long time to come. Tasted four times in the last few years with consistent results. Additional scores for the wine in this lot - CellarTracker 92 points , BurgHound.com 91 points , Wine Spectator 90 points .
