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.
2002 Krug Vintage Brut Champagne has following scores - James Suckling 100, Wine & Spirits Magazine 100, Wine Enthusiast 100. 2002 Krug Vintage Brut Champagne has the score of 97+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note -Krug's 2002 Brut (ID 415064 – disgorged IV/2015) has an intense citrus color and opens with a generous, intense yet fine and precise bouquet that indicates great depth and elegance. Red fruit flavors on the nose lead to a generously rich yet pure, highly refined and elegant palate, with lots of ripe cherry fruits and delicious yeasty flavors. This is a highly complex and tensioned but beautifully balanced 2002 with a charming dosage that gives perfect roundness. The finish, however, is clear, fresh and well-structured, if not taut, and very mineral.
