This Vancouver based consignor discovered fine wine after tasting Lynch Bages while on a trip to Scotland over 50 years ago. From that moment on, with Robert Parker as his guide, he did everything he could to buy top Bordeaux and after 20 or 30 years the wines were performing as predicted. All wine was purchased upon release and stored and immediately stored in a 1000 bottle wine cellar. The temperature was a constant 15C, and the humidity was always more than 50%. When he moved to a condo, the best wines (including all the bottles committed to Iron Gate) went immediately into a Silhouette cooler, once again at 15C. He hopes that his collection will please others as much as it did him.
The tasting note for 1990 Chateau Lynch Bages Pauillac is from Robert Parker and the score is 97 - The 1990 Lynch-Bages continues to drink brilliantly at age 32, bursting from the glass with rich aromas of blackberries and crème de cassis mingled with cigar wrapper, loamy soil, burning embers, nori and subtle hints of sweet leather. Full-bodied, broad and fleshy, it's unctuous and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit, sweet but still present tannins and a long, expansive finish. I have always tended to compare the 1990 and 1989 Lynch-Bages, and both wines are among the finest produced in Bordeaux in those years, embarrassing several of the first growths
