An Ontario-based collector, inspired by their father, who was also a wine enthusiast, began their own collection in the mid-1980s. Their father renovated the family’s ski chalet to include a dedicated wine cellar for the wine he purchased through a friend who was an importer representing Sandrone and Guigal. One of their fondest memories is lining up at 2:30 a.m. outside one of the five Vintage locations in Ontario to purchase both the 1989 and 1990 Petrus. The bottles being auctioned have remained with the original owner since acquisition and have only been moved once. They were initially stored in a wine fridge purchased from the Wine Establishment and later placed in the consignor’s home cellar, both temperature and humidity controlled.
The rating for 1989 Petrus is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 1989 Pétrus is the greatest vintage produced at this estate under Christian Mouiex's administration, and it's one of Winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet's best. It not only rivals but may even surpass Haut-Brion for the title of "wine of the vintage," though I have never drunk them side by side, and the two are so different in style and so high in quality that such a comparison would probably be as futile as it would be pleasurable. Unfurling in the glass with a rich bouquet of dark berries, black truffles, exotic spices, cedar and loamy soil, it's full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with a deep and layered core of fruit framed by beautifully refined tannins and an immensely long finish. Textural and seamless, this profound Pomerol delivers everything that one dreams about when one reads about Pétrus.
