Growing up in Montreal, this consignor’s parents exposed him to wine as a teenager. Once he was working on Bay Street his mentor introduced him to Toronto’s best wine lists. While on vacation in Bordeaux in 1990 he enjoyed a bottle of Chateau Meyney at a local restaurant and Bordeaux became his wine of choice. On that same trip he purchased as many bottles as possible of 1989 (his daughter’s birth year) and 1990 directly from the vineyards. A close acquaintance owned Lifford and, with Robert Parker as his guide, he purchased wine through them and began collecting. He had a 1200 bottle professional cellar built in his home and wines were stored there upon acquisition.
The tasting note for 1989 Chateau Angelus St Emilion Grand Cru is from Robert Parker and the score is 94 - Possibly not showing as well as a bottle I had recently from my own cellar, this particular offering, which was about 50% Cabernet Franc and the rest Merlot, has a dark plum/purple color, but is still quite youthful. A beautiful sweet blueberry and blackberry-scented nose of olive, licorice and cedar wood is followed by a full-bodied and opulent wine, with hints of espresso roast and chocolate as well. It seemed to gain a lot in the glass, but the astringent tannins in the finish still seem a bit awkward and distracting. I think bottles I’ve had have generally shown better, although this is certainly an exceptional wine. It has just suffered somewhat in comparison with several of the other vintages.
