An avid collector since the late 1990s, this consignor developed a deep passion for fine wine under the mentorship of an experienced connoisseur. This interest lead him to join the Commanderie de Bordeaux (Halifax), where he secured the majority of his French portfolio through En Primeur selections. His collection, which at its peak exceeded 2,000 bottles, features First Growths acquired primarily through the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission and direct-from-winery allocations. Since 2008, the wines have been meticulously preserved in a custom-built, climate-controlled cellar equipped with professional refrigeration.
1999 Petrus Pomerol from this lot has the following scores - Jean-Marc Quarin 97 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 96 points, Decanter 95 points. This is the tasting note for 1999 Petrus Pomerol from Robert Parker - This wine is turning out much in the style of such wonderful Petrus vintages as 1967 and 1971. Although not as outstanding as either the 1998 or 2000, it displays beautiful intensity and finesse in a more evolved style than one normally expects from this estate. The wine has a dense, nearly opaque ruby/purple color, sweet black cherry, mulberry, truffle-infused fruit, full body, low acidity, admirable purity, and sweet tannin. It should be ready to drink in 5-6 years, and will last for two decades. .
