A consignor who was a member of a group of professionals who launched a wine club in Toronto during the mid-1970s. Though his interest in wine was long-standing, his serious collecting didn’t begin until after his retirement in 2008. Following several years of research into proper wine storage and investment, he crossed paths with Warren Porter, which further shaped his approach. Most of the wines were sourced through Iron Gate, while additional selections came from the LCBO's Oakville flagship store and its exclusive Classics catalogue. His collection was housed in custom-built cellars, maintained at optimal temperature and humidity, with each bottle categorized by its purpose: Investment, Maturation, or Inheritance.
1988 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac has following scores - Wine Spectator 96. 1988 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac has the score of 91 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -The best showing yet for a wine from this under-rated vintage, the dark garnet-colored 1988 Latour reveals slight amber at the edge. A bouquet of melted tar, plums, black currants, cedar, and underbrush is followed by a sweet entry, with medium to full body, excellent ripeness, and mature tannin. It is a classic, elegant Latour with more meaty, vegetable-like flavors than are found in a riper year, such as 1989 and 1990. The 1988 has just begun to enter its plateau of maturity, where it should remain for 25 years.
