A Toronto based consignor and member of the wine community whose collection is largely focused on Burgundy. He has been collecting wine for a long time and is starting to pare down his cellars in hopes that others will enjoy and learn about wine. Wine was procured through various outlets, LCBO, agents, auction, and direct from the producers and stored professionally and in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar in his home.
The tasting note for 2004 Bouchard Pere Fils Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru is from Allen Meadows, The Burghound and the score is 92 - (with thanks to Dr. Reed Day). This is presently quite reticent and it requires considerable aeration to coax aromas of airy white flowers, spice and limestone that precede textured, pure and defined energy-filled flavors that possess a linear mouth feel, all wrapped in a focused and mouth coating finish of impressive length. Perhaps this is just going through a phase but it seems a bit awkward at present, and while all the component pieces appear to be in place, I wasn't knocked out despite the length of the finish. One thing that is clear though is that this definitely needs more bottle age before it's ready for prime time. Tasted only once in bottle.
