An Ontario based collector that started collecting 14 years ago, after a life-altering tasting experience with a bottle of Harlan Estate. The entirety of his collection was sourced direct from wineries, the LCBO and the SAQ. None of the wines offered are from auction. Since acquisition, all his wines have been stored in a residential, temperature and humidity-controlled custom cellar before being brought to auction.
The score for 2007 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford is 100 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Scarecrow’s inky/purple-colored 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is a prodigious effort. It reveals a liqueur of crushed rocks intermixed with a smorgasbord of spring flower, blueberry, creme de cassis, and assorted blue, black, and red fruit characteristics. It also possesses extraordinary concentration, but what sets it apart is the fragrant aromatics combined with uncommon purity and elegance for such a full-bodied, massively concentrated wine. Its perfect balance suggests it can be drunk at a relatively young age, but it should easily evolve over 30-35 years. Congratulations to all involved!
