This collector is a self proclaimed, “Bordeaux Nut”, over 80% of is cellar is Bordeaux. He first became interested in wine on a trip to the Mosel where an unlabeled bottle of icewine enthralled his palate but his passion for Bordeaux began when his wine group introduced him to the 1982 vintage. He started to seriously collect when the 2000 vintage was released and has continued to add to his cellar since then. He purchased his wine through various outlets across the country, LCBO, SAQ, Edmonton’s The Wine Cellar and on Cambie Street in Vancouver. He stored all wine using commercial storage and in his home cellar which is kept at 54-57C.
The score for 2006 Chateau La Conseillante Pomerol is 93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then at the château. The 2006 Château La Conseillante had perhaps the most show-stopping bouquet out of all seventy-odd 2006s that I tasted at ten years. It explodes from the glass with raspberry coulis, kirsch, honey and marmalade, so much so that I am not sure if I would nail it as a Bordeaux, let alone a Pomerol! It is precocious and very attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe red cherry and strawberry fruit, plenty of black truffle, fine tannin and well-judged acidity. This is an opulent, decadent La Conseillante that is atypical of the vintage and yet you totally fall for its charms. What it might lack in subtlety, it makes up for in sheer charm.
