Based in Calgary, this consignor has had a lifelong relationship with wine. He vividly remembers bottles of Chateau de La Gardine Chateauneuf du Pape on his family’s dinner table and how he enjoyed playing the part of "wine steward". In his 20s he had friends who worked for prominent fine wine merchants and had his first “a-ha” wine moment after tasting a 1988 Columbia Crest Merlot. He was a sales representative for Britannia Wine Merchants and his association and interest in fine wine and dining led to trips to the major wine regions of the world. He began drinking the fruit forward wines of Napa and Sonoma but his taste soon expanded to the more subtly expressive wines of the old world. He was always curious about the ageing process and its ability to soften tannins and develop secondary and tertiary characteristics in wine - so he began to buy and cellar Bordeaux from the 1988, 1989 and 1990 vintages in the early 1990s, as well as select purchases of Barolo and Super Tuscans throughout that period. Much of his collection was purchased upon initial release through several private wine stores in Calgary and a significant subset was procured directly from the winery or as part of library offerings. All bottles have slept at 55F and approximately 70% humidity away from light and vibration. He had always intended to consume these wines with family and friends and has been extremely diligent about proper storage conditions.
The tasting note for 2010 Chateau de Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin Chateauneuf du Pape is from Robert Parker and the score is 98+ - Tight, dense and backward, the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage À Jacques Perrin was one of the least approachable wines in the lineup, yet certainly has incredible potential. Offering lots of liquid minerality, crushed rock, blueberry, truffle and cassis, it’s massive and concentrated on the palate, with building tannin, good acidity and a firm, focused feel that begs for cellaring.
The tasting note for 2009 Chateau de Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin Chateauneuf du Pape is from Robert Parker and the score is 99 - Shockingly good, the 2009 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage À Jacques Perrin offers an off-the-charts bouquet of Provençal herbs, truffle and wet-dog-like qualities intermixed with classic blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit. Massive and full-bodied on the palate, with a sheer density and decadence that’s hard to believe, this is a pedal-to-the-metal effort that has the fruit to drink beautifully today, yet the concentration, mid-palate, tannin and balance to age for 3-4 decades. Made from a blend of 60% Mourvedre, 20% Syrah and the rest Counoise and Grenache, this is one of the wines of the vintage.
The tasting note for 2011 Chateau de Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin Chateauneuf du Pape is from Robert Parker and the score is 97 - A strong showing for this wine, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin displays lovely aromas of truffle, tree bark, red raspberries and cherries. It's medium to full-bodied and remarkably fresh-tasting, with silky tannins on the long, elegant finish. What a super effort.
