This consignor’s wine journey began in the early 1980s, when quality wines were still reasonably priced. Regular visits to the LCBO Vintages shop in Sherwood Forest, Mississauga—now closed—provided access to weekly tastings and a diverse selection. The collection grew through purchases from the LCBO, wine agents, specialty shops in BC, the U.S., Australia, and directly from wineries during travels. All bottles were stored in a refrigerated, temperature- and humidity-controlled wine cabinet to ensure optimal preservation.
1982 Chateau Figeac St Emilion Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 96 points, The Wine Advocate 95 points, John Gilman's View from the Cellar 95 points, Decanter 95 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 95 points, Vinous 94 points, James Suckling 94 points, John Kapon Vintage Tastings 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1982 Chateau Figeac St Emilion Grand Cru from Robert Parker - I have had brilliant bottles of the 1982 Figeac, but this wine appears to be characterized by above-average bottle variation. Exhibiting aromas of sweet berry fruit, baking spices and currants, but also a pronounced minty, herbaceous streak, this example is medium-bodied, supple and seamless, with melted tannins and a fragrant finish
