April 18, 2012

On behalf of the UCC fine wine and advisory com-mittee, we’re delighted to welcome you to the Mad for Blue Fine Wine Auction. This spectacular evening will include an array of activities and experiences

that will delight the five senses and offer special treats for the taste buds and pal-ate. This precursor event to the Believe in Blue Gala is destined to benefit future generations of UCC boys, as well as to provide opportunities to boys who deserve to get the best education from our elite institute.

An event such as this is about much more than money. This is about coming to-gether as a community to celebrate the success of UCC and to attain our common vision.

We offer heartfelt thanks to the extraordinary generosity shown by those who made donations to this auction. We also sincerely thank Albert Schultz and Arron Barberian for donating their time, expertise and enthusiasm as our auctioneers for the evening. This is the third time this dynamic duo has taken on these key roles for the UCC Fine Wine Auction.

Michelle and Pat Meneley deserve special recognition and a huge thank you, along with the gala committee members, for their inspiring leadership. Looking back, we had so much fun working with a team of talented and dedicated individuals and volunteers who’ve applied their skills and energy to create this Mad Men-themed event. Looking forward, we have a memorable and enchanting evening before us in which we’ll be able to stock up our cellars and enjoy this time with good friends of the College who are united towards a good cause.

Cheers,

Frances and Edward Lee

Level/Ullage Description and Interpretations

Bordeaux Levels

For wines in bottles with defined shoulders including Bordeaux,

Port and other wines, the level is measured and catalogued as follows:

bn. - BASE NECK: Perfectly good for any age of wine.

Outstandingly good for a wine of 10 years in bottle,

or longer.

vts. - VERY TOP SHOULDER

ts. - TOP SHOULDER: Normal for any Bordeaux 15 years old or

older.

hs. - HIGH SHOULDER: Slight natural reduction through the

easing of the cork and evaporation through cork and capsule.

Usually no problem. Acceptable for any wine over 20 years old.

Exceptional for pre-1950 wines.

ms. - MID SHOULDER: Probably some weakening of the cork

and some risk. Not abnormal for wines 30-40 years of age.

Estimates usually take this into account.

ls. - LOW SHOULDER: Risky and usually only accepted for sale if

wine or label exceptionally rare or interesting. Always offered

with low estimate.

bs. - BOTTOM SHOULDER: Not acceptable for sale unless

a rare sort of bottle. Wine will usually be undrinkable.

u. - ULLAGE: Level.

Example: (u. 2ts) means 2 bottles ullaged to top shoulder.

oc. - ORIGINAL CARTON

owc. - ORIGINAL WOODEN CASE

RC - RESERVE CHATEAU

Burgundy Levels

For wines in bottles with sloping necks, including Burgundy, German

and other wines, the level between the cork and wine is measured and

catalogued in centimetres.

The condition and drinkability of Burgundy is less affected by ullage

than its equivalent from Bordeaux. A 5-7-cm. ullage in a 50-year-old

Burgundy can be considered normal, indeed good for age; 3.5-4 cm.

excellent for age; 7cm. rarely a risk.

Example: (u. 3x5cm) means 3 bottles ullaged 5 cm.

Bottle Sizes

hf. bt. - half bottle = 0.375 litres

bt(s). - bottle(s) = 0.75 litres

ltr. - litre

mag. - magnum = 1.5 litres, or two regular bottles

d. mag. - double magnum (Bordeaux, Port) = 3 litres

Bordering on perfection is the 2004 Shiraz Savitar. Made from 30- to 50-year-old vines, and aged 18 months in 100% new French hogsheads as well as smaller barriques, it boasts an opaque purple color, and an extraordinary nose of acacia flowers, blueberries, raspberries, and blacker fruits, melted licorice, and graphite. It possesses amazing intensity, great equilibrium, a fabulous, multi-layered mid-palate, and a blockbuster finish. This extraordinary Shiraz should prove to be one of the legends of southern Australia’s great 2004 vintage.

The youngest Run Rig, the 2001, should equal the 1998 as it is almost a clone aromatically, texturally, and flavor-wise, just much younger. This opaque purple-colored beauty should flirt with perfection over the next 10-15 years.

Aged 18 months in primarily French oak, the 2004 Shiraz G.A.M. is an exceptional example of a precise yet full-flavored, concentrated Shiraz. Its gorgeous perfume of blueberries, blackberries, camphor, licorice, and pain grille is followed by an inky/blue/purple-colored wine offering superb purity, full-bodied richness, and gorgeous depth as well as texture. This fabulous effort is another example of Ben Glaetzer’s brilliant talents. It should drink well for 15 years.

21

Bottled in June, 1997, this profound Mouton is more accessible than the more muscular 1996. A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 19% Merlot, it reveals an opaque purple color, and reluctant aromas of cassis, truffles, coffee, licorice, and spice. In the mouth, the wine is “great stuff,” with superb density, a full-bodied personality, rich mid-palate, and a layered, profound finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. There is outstanding purity and high tannin, but my instincts suggest this wine is lower in acidity and slightly fleshier than the brawnier, bigger 1996. Both are great efforts from Mouton-Rothschild.

In terms of the brilliant complexity and nobility of the aromatics, scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices, the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled. It is always fascinating to taste this wine next to the 1989, which is a monumental effort, but much more backward and denser, without the aromatic complexity of the 1990. The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion’s standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top vintage. While it has been fully mature for a number of years, it does not reveal any bricking at the edge, and I suspect it will stay at this level for another 10-15 years ... but why wait? It is irresistible now.

LA MISSION HAUT BRION, GRAVES 1994 (2)BORDEAUX, FRANCE


Much like its nearby rival, Haut Brion, the 1990 La Mission has always been rela-tively evolved, complex, and supple-textured. Even at age 3-4 it performed beauti-fully. The tannins are sweet, the acidity low, and the high levels of glycerin and concentrated fruit have always been present, and they show no signs of abating. A dark plum/blue/garnet color is followed by a sweet perfume of chocolate, rich, jammy, berry fruit, and hints of smoked herbs as well as meat juices. It remains a full-bodied, opulent, even ostentatious wine that should drink beautifully for two more decades. It really has not changed much over the last 6-7 years.

The 1986 possesses outstanding richness, a deep color, medium body, a graceful, harmonious texture, and superb length. The penetrating fragrance of cedar, chestnuts, minerals, and rich fruit is a hallmark of this wine. Powerful, dense, rich, and tannic, as well as medium to full-bodied, with awesome extraction of fruit, this Lafite has immense potential.

Consistently scoring between 98-100, the superb 1982 Margaux may be slightly bigger, bolder, and more masculine than vintages produced over the last 15-20 years. Its dark plum/purple color is followed by notes of melted tar intermixed with sweet cassis and floral underpinnings. Very full-bodied and dense for a Chateau Margaux, with a slight rusticity to the tannins, it boasts blockbuster power, richness, and impressive aromatics. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life.


A magnificent example of Chateau Margaux and one of the most tannic, back-ward Margauxs of the last 50 years, the 1986 continues to evolve at a glacial pace. The color is still a dense ruby/purple with just a hint of lightening at the rim. With several hours of aeration, the aromatics become striking, with notes of smoke, toast, creme de cassis, mineral, and white flowers. Very full-bodied, with high but sweet tannin, great purity, and a very masculine, full-bodied style, this wine should prove nearly immortal in terms of its aging potential. It is beginning to budge from its infantile stage and approach adolescence.

My all-time favorite vintage of Tertre-Roteboeuf, the 2000 should age much more consistently than the rather irregular 1990 or the top-notch 1989. The 2005 should give it a run for its money down the road, but at present, this wine is performing fabulously well. It boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with notes of kirsch liqueur and licorice. This St.-Emilion could pass for a great Chateauneuf du Pape or top-notch Musigny, although it has more power and depth than a burgundy, and none of the peppery/garrigue characteristics of a Rhone. Nevertheless, there is a sweet character from the high glycerin level as I suspect the alcohol content exceeds 14%. Velvety textured and full-bodied, but surprisingly youthful, this stunningly rich wine can be drunk now, but promises to last another two decades.

Two great back-to-back vintages are the 1990 and 1989. The more developed 1990 boasts an incredible perfume of hickory wood, coffee, smoked meat, Asian spices, black cherries, and blackberries. Lush, opulent, and full-bodied, it is a fully mature, profound Beaucastel that will last another 15-20 years.

50

When tasting young vintage ports, Taylor is always the most backward. Yet poten-tially, it has the capability to be the most majestic. This classically made, opaque purple-colored wine is crammed with black fruits (blueberries and cassis). It reveals high tannin and a reserved style, but it is enormously constituted with massive body, a formidable mid-palate, and exceptional length. It is a young, rich, powerful Taylor that will require 10-15 years of aging. Compared to the more flashy, forward style of the 1992, the 1994 has more in common with such vintages as 1977 and 1970

There are 7,000 cases of the prodigious 2006 Proprietary Red Wine (a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec). Most of the fruit comes from the Stage-coach Vineyard and the Waters Ranch. Sweet, smoky, meaty aromas interwoven with melted asphalt, camphor, blackberry, cassis, and char-coal scents emerge from the complex aromatics. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, displaying sweet tannin, a concentrated mouthfeel, and a long, heady finish with substantial fruit, glycerin, and extract. It should drink beautifully for 20+ years.

58

The last time I had this wine, it seemed much more developed, youthful and approachable. This particular bottle, which was pulled from my cellar, was super-powerful, dense and concentrated, as well as structured and backward. Aeration helped somewhat, but this looks like a very long-lived wine, and my initial suggestion of an anticipated maturity date (2010-2025) should be changed to 2015-2035. Only 450 cases were made of this blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc from former proprietor Jean Phillips’ vineyards just south of the Oakville crossroads. The spectacular dense blue/purple color remains opaque. The wine displays the hallmark creme de cassis, floral and licorice notes that are so pure, vivid and intense, and which have always been part of this vineyard’s classic trademark. With great purity, a full-bodied mouthfeel and even more thickness, power and density than I remember, this wine has put on weight, developed more struc-ture, and looks like a candidate for 30 more years of aging potential. This is a brilliant wine, much in keeping with the legendary status of this producer.
