His passion for wine began socially in his twenties, evolving by his early thirties into a dedicated, lifelong interest. He started collecting on a modest budget during an era of more accessible pricing, initially sourcing bottles from the LCBO and the Opimian Society before expanding his reach to Buffalo, Rochester, and international locales. This growing collection eventually found a home in his Victorian residence, where he personally converted an old coal cellar into a climate-controlled wine cellar through meticulous insulation and shelving. Today, these decades of careful curation allow him and his wife to enjoy a seamless blend of perfectly matured vintages and contemporary acquisitions.
1989 Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 99 points, The Wine Advocate 97 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 97 points. This is the tasting note for 1989 Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron Pauillac from Robert Parker - One of the wines of the vintage, the 1989 Pichon-Longueville Baron is drinking beautifully today. Bursting from the glass with aromas of ripe blackcurrants, plums, Cuban cigar, loamy soil, black truffles and burning embers, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and enveloping, with powdery tannins and a concentrated core of fruit. Fleshy and dramatic, with a sumptuous, low-acid profile and a long, expansive finish, to my palate this is the one 1989 Pauillac that, on a good day, can rival the extraordinary 1989 Lynch Bages. While I tend to think it's at its peak, every bottle I open from my cellar in Beaune seems to be better than the last.
