Growing up in Montreal, this consignor’s parents exposed him to wine as a teenager. Once he was working on Bay Street his mentor introduced him to Toronto’s best wine lists. While on vacation in Bordeaux in 1990 he enjoyed a bottle of Chateau Meyney at a local restaurant and Bordeaux became his wine of choice. On that same trip he purchased as many bottles as possible of 1989 (his daughter’s birth year) and 1990 directly from the vineyards. A close acquaintance owned Lifford and, with Robert Parker as his guide, he purchased wine through them and began collecting. He had a 1200 bottle professional cellar built in his home and wines were stored there upon acquisition.
The tasting note for 1996 Domaine Leroy Nuits St Georges Aux Boudots Premier Cru is from Robert Parker and the score is 96 - This light-colored wine is among the finest Nuits to have graced my palate. An amazingly elegant, floral, and blueberry, cherry, stone, chocolate, as well as rose-filled nose warns the palate of the impending pleasures to follow. This full-bodied, velvety-textured, and sublimely proportioned wine offers layer upon layer of candied blackberries, cherries, assorted dried fruits, as well as a seductively supple and lively personality. Even though it comes across as luscious and forward, it has a firm structure that is difficult to perceive through the loads of super-ripe fruit.
