This Vancouver based collector was introduced to fine wine in his early 20s. He joined a few wine clubs, Commanderie de Bordeaux and Confrerie de Tastevin among them, and started his cellar in the 90s. He has been an avid collector since, amassing over 8000 bottles throughout the years and keeping meticulous provenance notes on each one; the 2 bottles of 1988 Chateau Margaux were purchased in 2015 through Zachys. His wines were procured from government and private stores, direct from US wineries and Zachy’s in NY and all have been stored in his temperature and humidity-controlled cellars at home as well as at 13C Wine Storage.
The score for 2005 Domaine Anne Francoise Gros Echezeaux Grand Cru is 93 from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - A dense, brooding red, with a rearguard of beefy tannins and vibrant acidity shoring up the black cherry, blackberry and licorice flavors. It's chewy now, with the oak showing, but backward and promising. Best from 2015 through 2030. 100 cases made, 33 cases imported.
