A Toronto based consignor who became interested in wine after spending 6 months in France many years ago. Their affection for very nice bottles grew over time and they started collecting in the early 2000’s. They began with Bordeaux futures, and then moved more heavily towards California as well as Italy. The wines were mainly sourced from the LCBO/Vintages, and through several wine agents over the years. The wine was stored offsite, some at Iron Gate, and then moved to their home wine cellar.
The score for 1999 Biondi Santi Tenuta Greppo Brunello di Montalcino is 90 from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Silky, with prune, cedar and fresh tobacco aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a clean finish. Very good length. One of the best in a long time from here.
