This consignor was raised by parents who always opened a bottle of wine with dinner, and he fondly remembers Gruaud-Larose. His early interest developed into a passion in 1993. Around that time, he was in Bordeaux and had heard of Chateau Margaux, so he went there, climbed the steps and rang the bell, and they granted him a visit. He started collecting that day and purchased 1990 Chateau Margaux in the village for $80 a bottle. He then started buying more wine, participated in wine events, traveled to several wine producing regions on many occasions and even got married at Château Smith Haut-Laffite. He purchased mainly from SAQ, LCBO but also from Berry Bros and Rudd, Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa and directly from importers for certain rare wines. He has also managed to get allocations directly from some producers including Harlan, Sine qua non, Kosta Browne and Williams Selyem. The bottles were all stored in a temperature-controlled cellar prior to auction.
The tasting note for 1995 Biondi Santi Tenuta Greppo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG is from Wine Enthusiast and the score is 98 - This supremely elegant complex red is a testament to Brunello's remarkable aging potential. It opens with aromas evoking sunbaked earth, underbrush, new leather and mature berry that mingle with whiffs of flint and tar. The silky palate is chock–full of flavor and finesse, boasting mature black cherry, raspberry compote, tobacco and black tea framed in polished tannins and still tangy acidity.
