A consignor from BC, his passion for wine began 30 years ago. He built a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar in the 90s and stores his collection there. The bottles were all sourced either direct from the producers or through Marquis Wine Cellars in Vancouver.
The rating for 1982 Chateau Leoville Poyferre St Julien is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 1982 Léoville Poyferré continues to drink brilliantly at age 40 (and I have enjoyed three bottles this year), wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet cassis fruit mingled with notions of loamy soil, cigar wrapper, licorice, black truffle and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, broad and sumptuous, with a velvety attack that segues into a deep, fleshy core, it's generous and enveloping, with lively acids and fine, powdery tannins that still deliver a vestige of back-end grip. Today, this is a strong contender for the title of Saint-Julien's wine of the vintage, with Ducru-Beaucaillou and Léoville-Las Cases as its only plausible rivals.
