In the mid-1980s, this consignor attended a private tasting of 1960s Barolos, followed by a vertical of Mouton Rothschild which ignited a lifelong appreciation for the complexity and depth of great wines. He began collecting soon after, sourcing primarily from the Alberta Liquor Control Board, with select high-end bottles from dealers in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. Most bottles are carefully documented with purchase dates and stored in an insulated basement wine cellar equipped with temperature and humidity monitoring and an activated carbon air filter. The cellar maintains a consistent environment around 55°F with humidity generally over 70%.
1982 Chateau Cos d'Estournel St Estephe has following scores - Jeb Dunnuck 97, John Kapon Vintage Tastings 97, The Wine Advocate 96, Decanter 96 , Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 96. 1982 Chateau Cos d'Estournel St Estephe has the score of 96 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -The 1982 Cos d'Estournel dominates Saint-Estèphe in this vintage (for my money, its leading competitor is Haut-Marbuzet, by the way). Remarkably youthful and saturated in appearance, it exhibits inviting aromas of sweet berry fruit, plums, licorice and pencil shavings, followed by a full-bodied, fleshy, lusty, almost unctuous palate of notable concentration and depth. Its fleshy core of fruit is still framed by sweet, powdery tannins.
