Inspired by friends, he began collecting wine in 1990, focusing on Bordeaux and Tuscan vintages starting with1986 and 1988. To deepen his expertise, he completed formal training, subscribed to trade journals, and built an extensive reference library. He regularly attended private tastings and SAQ Courrier vinicole dinners, culminating in an SAQ trip to Bordeaux where he visited and tasted legendary Premier Grands Crus. He also put an unused wine cellar in his home to work housing his growing collection. The vast majority of this collection was purchased from the SAQ, LCBO Vintages, and a few bottles were sourced in Florida at ABC liquor. All bottles in his collection have been strictly stored in a dark, temperature- and humidity-controlled basement cellar using regularly maintained Transtherm and EuroCave units. To preserve their condition during transport to Iron Gate in Calgary, the bottles were packed in insulated styrofoam boxes to guard against light and shock.
1993 Chateau Lafleur Pomerol from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 91 points, CellarTracker 91 points, The Wine Advocate 90 points. This is the tasting note for 1993 Chateau Lafleur Pomerol from Robert Parker - One of a small handful of contenders for the title of wine of the vintage, the 1993 Lafleur is beginning to drink brilliantly. Unfurling in the decanter and glass with aromas of sweet berry fruit, kirsch, loamy soil and black truffles, it's medium to full-bodied, muscular and concentrated, its imposing chassis of ripe but melting tannin cloaked in an ample core of thick, concentrated fruit. Uncommonly powerful for the vintage, and displaying none of 1993's tendency to asperity, it is just entering what will be a long drinking window. Held to any standards other than Lafleur's, this might well merit an even higher score, and it would be a great choice to insert into any blind tasting of more sought-after vintages..
