An Alberta based consignor who became interested in wine after travelling through France and Italy in the late 80s and then started to collect in 1991. All the French wine was sourced directly via the liquor store they owned and purchased through the AGLC. Since taking possession the wines have been carefully stored in a professional temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.
The wine in this lot has a score of 94 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -Haut-Brion’s 2001, which was bottled late (the end of September, 2003), possesses an unmistakable nobility as well as a burgeoning complexity. Plum/purple to the rim, this blend of 52% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Cabernet Franc is playing it close to the vest, having closed down considerably after bottling. Nevertheless, it reveals pure notes of sweet and sour cherries, black currants, licorice, smoke, and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with excellent purity, firm tannin, and an angular, structured finish, it requires 5-7 years of cellaring.
