This collector was introduced to wine through a friend. He was fortunate enough to share a bottle of 1985 Sassicaia, which sparked his interest and in 1993 he began his own collection. Parts of his collection were purchased through the Fisher Fund Wine auction, while many of his best wines were purchased through LCBO futures and JJ Buckley in Oakland California. All wines were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled wine cellar.
The rating for 2006 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Millesime Champagne is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2006 Cristal shows rich and ripe (tropical) fruit on the nose along with delicate brioche notes. Round and textured on the palate, this is a generous but fresh, fine and salty Cristal with a very long and greatly finessed finish.
