From a family that lives and breathes food, an interest in wine came naturally for this Toronto based consignor. He began collecting 30 years ago and purchased exclusively through LCBO classics programs and LCBO Bordeaux futures. Prior to June 2021 his wines were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar which, at its peak, held about 1500 bottles. Since July 2021 they have been stored at Fine Wine Reserve in Toronto.
The tasting note for 2005 Chateau Le Gay Pomerol is from Robert Parker and the score is 95+ - The 2005 Le Gay is a massive, masculine Pomerol, very much in the style of Gazin, but showing much more minerality, abundant blue and black fruits, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and loads of tannin in a youthful, backward style, even at age 10. Give this wine at least another 5-10 years of cellaring and drink it over the following quarter-century.
