A vintage wine enthusaist who, in his working years, travelled frquently to Central and Eastern Europe. He would stop from time to time at the Fonte de Medici, a B&B on the Antinori Estate that is nestled beside the Solaia and Tignanello vineyards. All three bottles of 2000 Solaia and some of the Tignanello bottles were purchased at Osteria Passignano, a wine bar and restaurant in Badia a Passignano where he used to meet up with one of the winemakers for a portfolio tasting. The Tignanello and the Don Melchor wines were purchased from the LCBO on release. All the wines were stored in a climate-controlled wine cellar in the collector's home.
The score for 2006 Chateau Cos d'Estournel St Estephe is 94 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Blended of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2006 Cos d'Estournel is deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, opening with enticing scents of rosemary-crusted roast lamb, dried cherries, baked blackcurrants and mincemeat pie with touches of fallen leaves, cigar box and pencil lead. Medium-bodied, lively and elegantly played in the mouth, it has a firm backbone of chewy tannins and plenty of mineral accents on the long finish.
