In the mid-1980s, this consignor attended a private tasting of 1960s Barolos, followed by a vertical of Mouton Rothschild which ignited a lifelong appreciation for the complexity and depth of great wines. He began collecting soon after, sourcing primarily from the Alberta Liquor Control Board, with select high-end bottles from dealers in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. Most bottles are carefully documented with purchase dates and stored in an insulated basement wine cellar equipped with temperature and humidity monitoring and an activated carbon air filter. The cellar maintains a consistent environment around 55°F with humidity generally over 70%.
1989 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe has following scores - Vinous 100 , The Wine Advocate 100, Wine Spectator 100, James Suckling 100, John Gilman's View from the Cellar 100, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 100, Falstaff Magazine 100, Tom Cannavan 100, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 100. 1989 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe has the score of 100 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -A spectacular wine that only goes from strength to strength, and which ranks among the pinnacles of my birth year vintage, the 1989 Haut-Brion wafts from the glass with a rich bouquet of blackberries, blackcurrants, cigar wrapper, loamy soil, black truffle, burning embers and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's sumptuous and dramatic, with huge reserves of fruit that are complemented by carnal, savory nuances and framed by melting tannins and ripe acids. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, the only criticism one can make is that a 750-milliliter bottle simply isn't enough.
