In the late 1980s and mid 1990s, this collector’s interest in wine blossomed during visits to the Bordeaux and Champagne regions of France, as well as Tuscany. In the early 2000s he intensified his acquisitions, evolving into a devoted collector. The core of his collection is predominantly French wines from the Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne regions, Italian wines from Piedmont and Tuscany, and a selection from California. All the bottles were sourced from the SAQ and LCBO. Notably, Bordeaux wines were acquired as futures, while others were obtained upon release. To ensure optimal conditions, the wines were stored professionally in third-party temperature and humidity-controlled cellars and for the past 15 years have been in his home cellar where temperature and humidity are meticulously regulated.
The score for 2008 Chateau Pavie Macquin St Emilion Grand Cru Classe is 94+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Another top-notch effort, the 2008 is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc produced from yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare. It reached 14% natural alcohol, no doubt because of the extremely late harvest. A deep purple color is accompanied by massive notes of blackberries, incense, fruitcake, camphor and toasty oak intermixed with a crushed chalk-like minerality (a hallmark of this vineyard). The wine has softened considerably in bottle, and while it seems more structured than the 2010, it reveals a degree of accessibility. Anticipated maturity- 2016-2035.
