This collection reflects a passion for wine that was shared by Champlain Charest, a pioneer of private wine collecting in Québec. Beginning around 2012, the consignor built the collection with care, sourcing almost exclusively from the SAQ to ensure provenance and quality. All bottles have been stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled wine cellar, preserving them in optimal conditions.
1990 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 99 points, Wine Spectator 98 points, James Suckling 98 points, Falstaff Magazine 97 points, Jeremy Oliver 97 points, James Halliday 97 points. This is the tasting note for 1990 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from Robert Parker - The 1990 performed well in the tasting, but, along with the 1980, was the least impressive of these Granges. The 1990 is loosely knit, seems to border on overripeness with its jammy character, and has a slightly more aggressive style of tannin .. or are the acids more pronounced? It is certainly outstanding, displaying full body along with a classic smoky, blackberry, cassis, pepper, and forest floor-scented bouquet. Of all these wines, it appears to be the most evolved. Grange, Penfolds’ flagship wine, is, by many accounts, the most renowned and world-famous wine produced in Australia, and these six vintages from my cellar all acquitted themselves well. These wines are almost always Shiraz, but many vintages include less than 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and there are cross-appellations blends from vineyards in the Barossa and McLaren Vale.
