A Toronto-based consignor whose interest in wine was ignited during a year-and-a-half stint in Italy in his mid-twenties. Living just across from a wine shop in the heart of Rome's historic center, he had easy access to affordable wines from various Italian regions, as well as from other parts of Europe. Upon returning to Canada, he started buying wine with a more educated palate, setting aside a bottle or two whenever he could afford it, "for later." This habit eventually led to the creation of a small wine cellar at home, and a few years later, a professional storage space for his expanding collection. He became a member of the Fine Wine Reserve in 2006, where he stored all his new bottles. Most of his collection comes from the LCBO, with a few sourced from the AGLC. These days, he drinks less and has decided to downsize his collection through auction.
The rating for 2006 Chateau Malescot St Exupery Margaux is 90 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted at the property as part of a vertical tasting, the 2006 Château Malescot St Exupery is a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 4% each of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, picked between 25 September and 12 October. It has a detailed, quite mineral-driven bouquet with blood orange scents infusing the red berry fruit, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is well balanced with edgy red berry fruit on the entry, a stoniness underneath, a Margaux of the earth not the air. Correct and linear, with good depth and ample freshness, it actually reminds me of Brane Cantenac in style and the salinity on the finish is just wonderful. Returning after 30 minutes, you notice the acidity coming through more and more, though it is in sync with the fruit. This is a delightful Margaux to enjoy over the next 10-15 years.
