This collector started his cellar during University in his early 20's while working retail for an Ontario winery. Initially he was drawn to the wines of Italy, but over time began to focus on French wines, especially Burgundy. He has always had a great appreciation for white wine, particularly for the wines of Chablis, Loire, Austria and Germany. Generally he purchased wines from the LCBO and directly from agents (keeping track of all invoices and probably have digital or paper copies for everything).The wines were stored at home, in temperature controlled, specially built wine cellars.



2010 Domaine Jamet Cote Rotie from this lot has the following scores - Huon Hooke 96 points, Vinous 95 points. 2010 Delas Freres Bessards Hermitage from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2010 Delas Freres Bessards Hermitage from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. Utterly profound in every way, the 2010 Hermitage les Bessards comes from the steepest, most rugged and "badass" part of Hermitage Hill, the broken granite soils of the les Bessards lieu-dit. Inky colored, thick and massively concentrated, it has sensational notes of liquid granite (the essence of granite!), smoked meats, scorched earth, currants and chocolate on the nose. Full-bodied, frighteningly concentrated, structured and backwards, it needs another decade of cellaring but will keep for half a century. 2010 Domaine Vincent Paris La Geynale Cornas from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 95 points, CellarTracker 93 points.
