Almost twenty years ago this Montreal based consignor accidently fell into the world of wine. He worked at the SAQ while in university and began to study wine on the side to be able to answer customers’ questions. Upon graduating he decided to work at a winery and spent a year at Domaine de la Rectorie, and when he returned home, he became a sommelier. His passion for wine is rooted in a love for discovering new wines, exploring the rich history of winemaking, connecting with people, and a deep-seated passion for travel. He began collecting in 2009, and over time, it has evolved into a full-fledged passion for curating a diverse collection, with a particular focus on Burgundy, my favorite wine-growing region. He sourced bottles via the SAQ and while travelling to vineyards. His collection has been meticulously stored in a temperature-controlled wine cellar, ensuring optimal conditions for preservation and aging.
The score for 2008 Colgin Cellars IX Estate Napa Valley is 99 points from James Suckling and the tasting note - Incredible nose of mint, spices and dark fruits. Forest floor. Then turns to Indian tea. Roses too. Full-bodied, with very fine tannins and lovely fruit. Soft and silky fruits. Amazing backbone of tannins. This reminds me of a great modern vintage of Margaux -- but with that Napa shine.
