An Alberta-based consignor who has been collecting wine for a little over five years, ensuring that all bottles are properly stored in several wine fridges at a consistent 13 degrees Celsius. His primary focus is on wines from Tuscany and Burgundy, with occasional selections from other regions. While he enjoys collecting, he drinks most of what he buys. His wine comes from a variety of sources, including auctions such as L'Épicurien and Waddington’s. He frequently purchases from local stores like Willow Park, Vine Arts, and Costco, primarily in Alberta, with Zyn.ca being a particular favorite. Additionally, he buys a significant amount of wine while traveling, often picking up bottles from duty-free shops, wine stores, and other retailers in different countries.
1999 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes Premier Cru Superieur has following scores - Falstaff Magazine 97, Decanter 97 , The Wine Independent 96, Richard Jennings 95. 1999 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes Premier Cru Superieur has the score of 92 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -Medium gold in color, the 1999 d'Yquem has shed its puppy fat and transformed into compelling cinnamon toast, creme caramel and cashew notions with emerging notes of beurre blanc, honeycomb, ginger snaps and praline over a core of peach preserves and apple pie. The palate is softly spoken with a refreshing backbone carrying loads of delicate savory and stone fruit preserves nuances to a long, beautifully restrained finish. At the 20-year mark, this wine is in the midst of its ideal drinking window, and while I hasten to add that there is no rush to drink up, there’s also no need to delay your gratification either. The alcohol this vintage is 13.8%, while the residual sugar is 128 grams per liter, and the total acidity is 4.5 grams per liter of H2SO
