Property of a private Ontario collector. He established his collection in 2020, initially inspired by the wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Rhône Valley. The bottles were primarily sourced through the LCBO and Iron Gate Auctions, with select additions from Zyn in Alberta. The collection was stored at Dymon Wine Cellar prior to moving Iron Gate's climate-controlled facility.
1985 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 96 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 96 points, The Wine Advocate 95 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 95 points, Jamie Goode 94 points, Falstaff Magazine 94 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 94 points, CellarTracker 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1985 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - Tasted blind at the 1985 Bordeaux horizontal, the 1985 Château Haut Brion is a lovely wine at the peak of its powers. It has an elegant bouquet with sandalwood and dried rose petals that combine effortlessly with vestiges of red berry fruit. I noticed how with time in the glass, it offers a side order of wild girolles! The palate is medium-bodied with a fine seam of acidity, delicate tertiary and leather tones infiltrating the red berry fruit, and while it does not have the audacity of the 1989 or 1990, the finesse on the finish completely wins you over. Simply drink, sit back and savor.
