This collector from Ontario has been interested in the wine industry from a very young age. He has been a member of many wine clubs since 1980 and has attended professional tastings in search of the finest wines. The main focus of the collection has always been, and continues to be, Bordeaux, with other classic regions and fine spirits also represented. Most wines were purchased upon release from the LCBO, and the collection has always been stored in a temperature-controlled cellar.
1990 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from this lot has the following scores - Falstaff Magazine 100 points, Decanter 100 points. This is the tasting note for 1990 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from Robert Parker - with a score of 98 points. The 1990 Cheval Blanc is fast becoming my favorite modern-day vintage of this Saint Emilion estate and perhaps the 1990 is now exiting the slip-steam of the feted 1982. This is unequivocally a brilliant wine. The nose holds nothing back, a line of senses all doing the conga towards your olfactory senses - macerated dark cherries, exotic kirsch-like aromas, leather, mahogany bureau, touches of crème de cassis and herbs all vie for attention. The palate is full-bodied and cloaked in a silky, velvety texture that leaves you a little ga-ga. There is so much fruit ram-packed into the bravura of a finish. Moreover, there's just so much joie-de-vivre and decadence in this wine, but it never seems overpowering or ostentatious. This bottle came from perfect provenance, as it was served blind by winemaker Pierre Lurton at a private dinner hosted by a mutual friend in Bordeaux.
