A Toronto based consignor who began collecting wine in 2010. The wines brought to auction are from esteemed producers, both old and new world and were acquired from the LCBO, Iron Gate and Waddington’s auctions. All were stored in a temperature and humidity- controlled cellar.
The score for 2007 Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape is 100 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - One of the great vintages from this estate, surpassing even the 1990, 2000, 2001, 2003, and maybe the 2010 (time will tell with this one), the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Vincent Avril delivers everything you could want from a wine. Full-bodied, intense and beautifully concentrated, with plenty of muscle and depth, it shows the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate, with sensational notes of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, incense, smoked meats and Asian spices. The blend is the normal 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, brought up all in older foudre, and it's just now entering its prime drink window and has another two decades of longevity.
