A Toronto based consignor who began collecting wine in his early 20s. He worked in fine dining establishments and was able to meet wine merchants and fell in love with it. He sourced his wine through the LCBO and stored it at optimum cellar temperature of 54-to-57-degrees Fahrenheit.
The rating for 2001 Yalumba The Octavius Shiraz Barossa is 98 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Produced from yields of 1.2 tons of fruit per acre, the 2001 Shiraz Octavius spent 20 months in both French and American oak. A blockbuster, structured Shiraz with oodles of personality/soul, it offers a sumptuous bouquet as well as flavors of chocolate, white flowers, blackberry and cassis liqueur, prunes, figs, roasted meats, and burning embers. This full-bodied, hugely extracted, monster Shiraz has amazing balance and symmetry for its large-scaled style. It needs another 1-3 years of cellaring, and should last for 12-20 years, based on the longevity of some earlier examples. For instance, a gorgeous 1994 Octavius, drunk in 2004, had a decade of life remaining. A 1966 Shiraz/Cabernet The Signature tasted next to it, was still in spectacular shape.
