A consignor who was a member of a group of professionals who launched a wine club in Toronto during the mid-1970s. Though his interest in wine was long-standing, his serious collecting didn’t begin until after his retirement in 2008. Following several years of research into proper wine storage and investment, he crossed paths with Warren Porter, which further shaped his approach. Most of the wines were sourced through Iron Gate, while additional selections came from the LCBO's Oakville flagship store and its exclusive Classics catalogue. His collection was housed in custom-built cellars, maintained at optimal temperature and humidity, with each bottle categorized by its purpose: Investment, Maturation, or Inheritance.

Full-bodied, rich, bold and oh-so-decadent in the mouth, the palate is completely packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by wonderfully velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing epically long. Wow!
