This collector is a self proclaimed, “Bordeaux Nut”, over 80% of is cellar is Bordeaux. He first became interested in wine on a trip to the Mosel where an unlabeled bottle of icewine enthralled his palate but his passion for Bordeaux began when his wine group introduced him to the 1982 vintage. He started to seriously collect when the 2000 vintage was released and has continued to add to his cellar since then. He purchased his wine through various outlets across the country, LCBO, SAQ, Edmonton’s The Wine Cellar and on Cambie Street in Vancouver. He stored all wine using commercial storage and in his home cellar which is kept at 54-57C.
The score for 1990 Chateau Clinet Pomerol is 97 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - A sensational effort, and one of the two finest Clinets made before the 2008, this prodigious wine made by the late Jean-Michel Arcaute has always been a sprinter out of the gate. Even at age 19, it continues to strut its stuff. A dense blue/garnet/purple hue exhibits slight lightening at the edge, and the gorgeous nose offers up aromas of sweet blueberries, licorice, smoke, acacia flowers, and camphor. Full-bodied with silky tannins, low acidity, and terrific purity, this 1990 has hit its plateau of full maturity where it should remain for another decade.
