Inspired by friends, he began collecting wine in 1990, focusing on Bordeaux and Tuscan vintages starting with1986 and 1988. To deepen his expertise, he completed formal training, subscribed to trade journals, and built an extensive reference library. He regularly attended private tastings and SAQ Courrier vinicole dinners, culminating in an SAQ trip to Bordeaux where he visited and tasted legendary Premier Grands Crus. He also put an unused wine cellar in his home to work housing his growing collection. The vast majority of this collection was purchased from the SAQ, LCBO Vintages, and a few bottles were sourced in Florida at ABC liquor. All bottles in his collection have been strictly stored in a dark, temperature- and humidity-controlled basement cellar using regularly maintained Transtherm and EuroCave units. To preserve their condition during transport to Iron Gate in Calgary, the bottles were packed in insulated styrofoam boxes to guard against light and shock.
1993 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 92 points, CellarTracker 92 points, Wine Spectator 91 points. This is the tasting note for 1993 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - Quite a surprise in a difficult vintage, a strict selection and the superb terroir of Haut Brion triumphed over a very challenging year that produced many hard, relatively herbaceous wines. The color is a surprisingly saturated deep plum/ruby. Some sweet berry fruit intermixed with menthol, graphite, damp earth, and a hint of mushroom emerges in this medium-bodied, very elegant Haut Brion that is still firmly structured but has sweet tannin and surprising length and ripeness. The wine will always represent a sleeper style. 1993 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 91 points. This is the tasting note for 1993 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from Producer Notes - Chateau Lafite Rothschild is one of the five First Growth Bordeaux, and one of the most famous and collected wines in the world. The vineyard covers 112 hectares and is well-drained and well-exposed, with soil made up of fine deep gravel, mixed with aeolian sand on a subsoil of tertiary limestone. The estate dates back to at least the 13th century and has had an amazing and prestigious history to look back upon.. 1993 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - Jean-Marc Quarin 92 points, Tom Cannavan 92 points, Wine Spectator 91 points, CellarTracker 91 points, The Wine Advocate 90 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 90 points. This is the tasting note for 1993 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac from Robert Parker - A terrific wine for the vintage, Latour's 1993 reveals an opaque purple color, a backward, cedar, black walnut, cassis, and earth-scented nose, medium to full body, gorgeously rich, concentrated fruit, moderately high tannin (but no astringency), and a sweet, long, powerful finish. The wine does not possess any of the vegetal, green pepper characteristics of the vintage, nor any hint of hollowness or harshness. This wine may prove to merit an even higher rating. Is this vintage the modern day clone of the 1967 and 1971? .
