Driven by a desire to expand his knowledge, the collector initially joined the Opimian Society, where he connected with fellow oenophiles to share experiences and insights. His passion quickly grew beyond the club, leading him to extensively research and seek out rare allocations independently. An avid host, he frequently curated large gatherings for friends, clients, and acquaintances to showcase his evolving collection. To properly preserve his acquisitions, he constructed a dedicated custom wine cellar, reflecting a lifelong enjoyment of wine culture and a commitment to meticulous, long-term storage.

This is the tasting note for 1983 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - Tasted at lunch at La Trompette. I have always had a soft spot for the Haut-Brion 1983 as one of the 'friendliest' of the First Growths. Though not a top-tier Haut-Brion, the 1983 has developed a fine earthy, leathery bouquet that is similar to the ’86 but without the same vigour or complexity. The palate is very harmonious with a citrus-tinged entry, its lack of depth and length compensated by poise and tension. Sandalwood, cedar and a touch of truffle and smoke towards the finish. Lovely. A point.
