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 Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - Falstaff Magazine 100 points. This is the tasting note for 1990 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - with a score of 98 points. 1990 - 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.
