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 Clos de l'Oratoire St Emilion Grand Cru Classe is from Robert Parker and the score is 94 - From the Comte von Neipperg, his wines from this over-achieving estate always deliver an aromatic fireworks display of cedar wood, Christmas fruitcake, roasted herbs, black olive, cassis and sweet kirsch. The 2005 has all that as well as ripe, well-integrated, velvety tannin, and full body in a sexy, luscious, heady style to drink now and over the next 10-15 years.
