A wine industry professional and dedicated collector since 2007, this consignor started his collection around 2010. The majority of his bottles were acquired directly through the AGLC, the Newfoundland Labrador Liquor Corporation, and select US retailers, while blue-chip selections—such as his Sauternes—were imported directly from a premier Bordeaux négociant. The collection has been meticulously preserved in a dedicated basement EuroCave, while higher ticket items were stored at 13C in Vancouver.
1990 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 100 points. This is the tasting note for 1990 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac from Robert Parker - with a score of 95+ points. This is one of the more perplexing Latours to evaluate. It has plenty of sweetness as well as a gorgeous, rich fruitiness, but it lacks the firmness one finds in more recent great vintages such as 1996, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008. There is plenty of sweet, ripe currant fruitiness, abundant glycerin, and full body, but I’m still waiting for that extra nuance of complexity to emerge. It’s all there, but the wine still seems to be more monolithic than one would expect in a wine approaching 19 years of age. It is not the sure-fire winner I thought it was in its youth, but then again, I don’t have any reason to doubt that more complexity will emerge.
