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.
1985 Chateau Margaux from this lot has the following scores - Tom Cannavan 97 points, Vinous 96 points, The Wine Advocate 96 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 96 points, Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch 96 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 95 points, Decanter 95 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 95 points. This is the tasting note for 1985 Chateau Margaux from Robert Parker - Approaching full maturity, this beautifully sweet Chateau Margaux has a dense plum/purple color and a huge, sweet nose of black currants intermixed with licorice, toast, underbrush, and flowers. Medium to full-bodied with supple tannin and a fleshy, juicy, very succulent and multi-layered mid-palate, this expansive, velvety wine has entered its plateau of maturity, where it should remain (assuming good storage) for at least another 10-15 years. A very delicious, seductive, and opulent Chateau Margaux to drink over the next two decades.
