A Toronto-based consignor whose interest in wine was ignited during a year-and-a-half stint in Italy in his mid-twenties. Living just across from a wine shop in the heart of Rome's historic center, he had easy access to affordable wines from various Italian regions, as well as from other parts of Europe. Upon returning to Canada, he started buying wine with a more educated palate, setting aside a bottle or two whenever he could afford it, "for later." This habit eventually led to the creation of a small wine cellar at home, and a few years later, a professional storage space for his expanding collection. He became a member of the Fine Wine Reserve in 2006, where he stored all his new bottles. Most of his collection comes from the LCBO, with a few sourced from the AGLC. These days, he drinks less and has decided to downsize his collection through auction.
The rating for 1995 Sassicaia Bolgheri is 91 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 1995 Bolgheri Sassicaia still holds court, thank you very much. It reminds me of a grande dame, or a woman of influence and sophistication who lights up the room thanks to her expertly delivered, albeit antiquated charm. The wine's aged evolution is evident as the bouquet releases sure aromas of dried fruit, old spice, saffron and cola. I can't say the aromas reach perfect equilibrium, because they don't. There is a muddled fruit note in there too that subtracts from its purity. The mouthfeel is svelte and lean with finely polished and silky tannins. In fact, the wine's texture shows precision and elegance. Pretty menthol notes appear on the long finish.
