This consignor started his collection in the late 1980s after a friend from Scotland introduced him to Port. What began with a few bottles grew into a serious hobby involving plenty of research and purchasing bottles, especially French and Italian wines, Champagnes, Ports dating from the 1950s to today. Most of his bottles were sourced through the LCBO, SAQ, and auctions in Chicago. He keeps the collection within temperature-controlled units and a dedicated dark room, maintaining a steady climate between 55°F and 65°F. For him, there’s a simple joy in sitting in the quiet, vibration-free space just to check on his labels and appreciate the history he’s gathered over the decades.
1994 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape from this lot has the following scores - Richard Jennings 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1994 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape from Robert Parker - The 1994 seems less successful than my early tastings indicated. The high percentage of Mourvedre (40% versus the normal 30%) has given it an earthy, leathery character with hints of mushrooms and tree bark. Although dense and chewy, it remains tannic and firm. It will keep for two decades, but it is not a hedonistic example and how much pleasure it will provide remains to be seen.
