THE CHÂTEAU L'EGLISE-CLINET 2004 WAS SERVED FROM MAGNUM EX-CELLAR. IT HAS A VERY FRAGRANT BOUQUET WITH WONDERFUL PURITY AND DELINEATION: DARK CHERRIES, BLUEBERRY, A TOUCH OF ORANGE SORBET AND VIOLETS. THERE IS REAL SOPHISTICATION HERE, ESPECIALLY IN CONTEXT OF THE VINTAGE, ONE OF THE FEW 2004S THAT POSSESSES A BOUQUET THAT LOCKS YOU IN. THE PALATE IS MEDIUM-BODIED WITH VERY FINE TANNIN, SUPERB ACIDITY, PERHAPS "CLASSIC" IN STYLE FOR WANT OF A BETTER EXPRESSION, BUT VERY LONG WITH THAT SPICY KICK OF BLACK PEPPER AND TOBACCO ON THE FINISH. THIS IS JUST BEGINNING TO DRINK NOW, THOUGH PERSONALLY I WOULD AFFORD IT ANOTHER TWO OR THREE YEARS, JUST TO MAKE SURE. TASTED MARCH 2015. DRINK DATE: 2015-2030 WA 94

Fine Wine and Spirits
Since 2016, and under the authority of the LCBO, Waddington’s continues to be the only auction house permitted to consign and sell wine and spirits within the secondary market in Ontario. Waddington’s previously conducted the LCBO’s Vintages Fine Wine and Spirits auctions from 2009 – 2013. The popularity of collecting wine as an investment grows every year. Many wines offered at auction appreciate in value, especially rare and acclaimed vintages, making auctions an excellent way to build a fine wine portfolio. Our auctions also provide an opportunity for collectors to buy wines that aren’t available through other channels and allow restaurants to build world-class wine lists.
