A consignor from Quebec who has been collecting fine wine for a while. His collection focuses on blue chip producers from Italy and France and was procured through the SAQ and trusted retailers. Prior to auction the bottles were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.
The score for 1999 Masseto Toscana is 94 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 Masseto offers a fabulous bouquet of sweet oak, black raspberries, blackberries, currants, new wood, and licorice. Firmly-structured and medium to full-bodied yet remarkably elegant, this impressive beauty needs 3-4 years of cellaring, and should age for 15+ years.
