An Ontario based consignor whose love of dining out and exploring new wine menus led him to start his own collection 25+ years ago. He bought futures through the LCBO and wine from agents and auctions house, such as Hart Davis Hart. Some of his wine came directly from vineyards around the world, South Africa, Portugal, and Australia to name a few. As time wears on he has made the decision to downsize his collection. He has stored his wine in his home cellar which is temperature and humidity controlled.
The score for 1999 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac is 90 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted at the Pontet-Canet vertical in London, the 1999 Château Pontet-Canet put in a respectable showing and demonstrated more class than either the 1996 or1982. Well-defined on the nose, there is a satisfying delivery of blackberry and blueberry fruit infused with dried blood and incense as it moves into its secondary stage. The palate is medium-bodied with classic tobacco-infused black fruit. There is nice salinity here, not a complex Pauillac by any stretch of the imagination, although there is impressive precision on the conservative finish. Probably at its peak now, the 1999 Pontet-Canet is a wine that never had lofty ambitions, but a wine that I would welcome on my table.
