This Vancouver based consignor discovered fine wine after tasting Lynch Bages while on a trip to Scotland over 50 years ago. From that moment on, with Robert Parker as his guide, he did everything he could to buy top Bordeaux and after 20 or 30 years the wines were performing as predicted. All wine was purchased upon release and stored and immediately stored in a 1000 bottle wine cellar. The temperature was a constant 15C, and the humidity was always more than 50%. When he moved to a condo, the best wines (including all the bottles committed to Iron Gate) went immediately into a Silhouette cooler, once again at 15C. He hopes that his collection will please others as much as it did him.
The tasting note for 1982 Chateau Palmer Margaux is from Robert Parker and the score is 92 - Tasted at the Château Palmer vertical in London, the magnum of 1982 Château Palmer is one of the best examples that I have tasted, even if it is no match for the 1983. It is a little curmudgeonly at first, perhaps slightly pinched, but it unfolds nicely and reveals quite mineral-rich, soy-tinged black fruit interlaced with graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannin lending this backbone. It is missing some weight towards the finish, but as it opens in the glass, it reveals hidden facets such as tobacco and tertiary notes, allied with poise and finesse. Granted, it falls short of what could have been given the benevolent vintage and quality of its peers, however this magnum suggests that in larger formats might be worth seeking out.
