This collector is a self proclaimed, “Bordeaux Nut”, over 80% of is cellar is Bordeaux. He first became interested in wine on a trip to the Mosel where an unlabeled bottle of icewine enthralled his palate but his passion for Bordeaux began when his wine group introduced him to the 1982 vintage. He started to seriously collect when the 2000 vintage was released and has continued to add to his cellar since then. He purchased his wine through various outlets across the country, LCBO, SAQ, Edmonton’s The Wine Cellar and on Cambie Street in Vancouver. He stored all wine using commercial storage and in his home cellar which is kept at 54-57C.
The wine in this lot has a score of 98 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -This is such a gorgeous wine. The 2010 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is undeniably beautiful and profound. It's almost hard to know where to start. The wine's appearance is velvety and rich. The bouquet opens to a long playlist of distinct characteristics that immediately remind you of the Langhe. You'll recognize wild cherry with licorice, white truffle, balsam herb and toasted hazelnut. These tones are delivered with just the right intensity. The are compelling, but never overwhelming. The finish offers an exciting succession of tiny detailing. The wine moves over the palate with silky intensity, imparting mineral tones of flint and campfire ash along the way. The persistence can be counted in many long, pleasurable minutes.
