The collector from Cambridge ON was interested in the wine industry from a very young age. He was part of many wines clubs since 1980 and attended professional tastings looking for the best wines. The main focus of the collection has always been and still is Bordeaux, with other classic regions and fine spirits included. Most wines were purchased from release in LCBO. The collection has always been stored in a temperature controlled cellar.
The tasting note for 2008 Royal Tokaji Wine Company Blue Label Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos is from Robert Parker - The 2008 Tokaji Aszu Red Label 5-Puttonyos (known as “Blue Label” everywhere else apart from the United States) has an attractive, comparatively uncomplicated bouquet with notes of dried honey, wax resin and a smear of marmalade. The palate is actually better than the nose, with pleasant, nutty, honeyed fruit (marmalade and quince to the fore), although the finish is a little abrupt. Still, for the price, this is a perfect introduction to the delights of Tokaji Aszu.
