An avid collector since the late 1990s, this consignor developed a deep passion for fine wine under the mentorship of an experienced connoisseur. This interest lead him to join the Commanderie de Bordeaux (Halifax), where he secured the majority of his French portfolio through En Primeur selections. His collection, which at its peak exceeded 2,000 bottles, features First Growths acquired primarily through the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission and direct-from-winery allocations. Since 2008, the wines have been meticulously preserved in a custom-built, climate-controlled cellar equipped with professional refrigeration.
1989 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 98 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 97 points, The Wine Advocate 96 points, John Gilman's View from the Cellar 96 points. This is the tasting note for 1989 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from Jeff Leve - With more concentration, this would rock. It has the silky, exotic textures, complex nose that marries cedar, tobacco, cigar box, floral, cherry and plum notes, but the lack of depth and length keeps it from earning a higher score. This is probably at full maturity. It should remain here for at least another decade or 2.
