While in university, this consignor began to cook and enjoyed pairing food and wine. He took WSET courses and started his collection in 2010. He was initially drawn to Italian wine because of his heritage but soon branched out to other regions to balance his collection and has always been careful of where he sources his bottles. Residing in Calgary, he purchased from local stores and restaurants, and direct from wineries. His collection has been stored in his temperature-controlled cellar.
2006 Krug Vintage Brut Champagne has following scores - James Halliday 99, The Wine Advocate 97, Wine Spectator 97. 2006 Krug Vintage Brut Champagne has the score of 97 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -As I reported when it was released, Krug's 2006 Brut is clearly one of the vintage's highlights. Offering up aromas of dried fruits, pear, freshly baked bread, caramelized apples, honeycomb and toasted sourdough, it's full-bodied, deep and layered, with superb concentration, racy acids and an impressively tightly wound profile for this demonstrative vintage. I observed last year that this is surprisingly reserved for the vintage, and if anything, that quality is even more in evidence today. While many 2006 Champagnes are likely to be at their best in their demonstrative youth, this is one wine unquestionably built for the long haul.
