This consignor, located in Alberta, became interested in wine and port over 20yrs ago as he was getting into the cigar business. He was fascinated by the similarities between cigars and wine such as terroir, blending and aging. He began to buy wine for cigar pairing events which led him to collecting. He had assistance from a friend who could not drink but had a keen interest in vintage port. All bottles were purchased at retail wine shops around Edmonton. A large portion came from DeVine Wines and Spirits. He stored the collection in a walk-in humidor in the basement of his cigar shop. The temperature and humidity were controlled by greenhouse monitors.
The score for 2005 Chateau Boyd Cantenac Margaux is 92 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - This château, which is often under the radar (production is only 5,500-6,000 cases), has fashioned a terrific, inky/blue/purple-hued 2005 with a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers, crème de cassis, pain grille, and blueberries. Powerful and concentrated with full-bodied richness, stunning purity, and a tannic, 40+-second finish, this beauty requires patience.
