This collector from Alberta grew up in a wine loving family and was fortunate to have exposure to great wines at an early age. During the last 20 years he has broadened his appreciation through visits to many of the world’s wine regions. His cellar contains an eclectic collection of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhone, Piedmont and Tuscany and Napa. He has developed excellent relationships with local retailers and purchased his wine through them. It has always been stored in a temperature-controlled cellar in his home.
The score for 2004 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas is 90 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - We finished the tasting with the 2004 Cornas, and it’s an outstanding, layered, medium-bodied effort that has plenty of kirsch, leather, incense and dried flower-like aromas and flavors. Drinking nicely today, I’d enjoy bottles over the coming couple of years. Always a fun visit, this small vertical took place in Clape’s cellar in Cornas, with Pierre-Marie Clape, who’s now running the estate. We also tasted through multiple barrels of their 2012s and 2013s, but I’ll wait and include that commentary in the northern Rhone report due out in October.
