While in university, this consignor began to cook and enjoyed pairing food and wine. He took WSET courses and started his collection in 2010. He was initially drawn to Italian wine because of his heritage but soon branched out to other regions to balance his collection and has always been careful of where he sources his bottles. Residing in Calgary, he purchased from local stores and restaurants, and direct from wineries. His collection has been stored in his temperature-controlled cellar.
The tasting note for 2001 Masseto Toscana is from Robert Parker and the score is 98 - The massive 2001 Masseto forms with Le Macchiole’s Messorio and Tua Rita’s Redigaffi a trio of world class Merlots in a ten square mile area where the variety virtually did not exist 15 years ago. The volume, richness, and sumptuousness are almost beyond description, as are the length and density of the flow and finish, but there is an underlying vein of purity and freshness which help maintain an impeccable balance.
