An Alberta-based consignor who has been collecting wine for a little over five years, ensuring that all bottles are properly stored in several wine fridges at a consistent 13 degrees Celsius. His primary focus is on wines from Tuscany and Burgundy, with occasional selections from other regions. While he enjoys collecting, he drinks most of what he buys. His wine comes from a variety of sources, including auctions such as L'Épicurien and Waddington’s. He frequently purchases from local stores like Willow Park, Vine Arts, and Costco, primarily in Alberta, with Zyn.ca being a particular favorite. Additionally, he buys a significant amount of wine while traveling, often picking up bottles from duty-free shops, wine stores, and other retailers in different countries.
1986 Chateau Margaux has following scores - Vinous 98 , The Wine Advocate 97, Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch 97. 1986 Chateau Margaux has the score of 94 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -The 1986 Château Margaux remains somewhat firm and forbidding as it closes in on its 40th birthday. Offering up aromas of cassis, cigar box and toasty new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and structured, with a sweet core of fruit that's framed, and almost overwhelmed, by an abundance of chalky tannin. I actually preferred this wine a decade ago, when its sheer abundance of fruit did a better job of balancing out its structuring elements.
