A Toronto based consignor who became interested in wine after spending 6 months in France many years ago. Their affection for very nice bottles grew over time and they started collecting in the early 2000’s. They began with Bordeaux futures, and then moved more heavily towards California as well as Italy. The wines were mainly sourced from the LCBO/Vintages, and through several wine agents over the years. The wine was stored offsite, some at Iron Gate, and then moved to their home wine cellar.
The score for 2010 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG is 94 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - This Riserva is sweeter than I remember past editions being and it shows an immediately darker appearance. The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a plump, soft, rich and opulent expression with red fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry and cassis. It's not overtly overripe, but it is thickly layered. That softness of fruit is followed by yielding tannins and luscious fruit layers. Altesino has various vineyard plots spread across the four quadrants of the Brunello appellation. This wine builds in power and momentum.
