When this Niagara based consignor was training to be a chef, 40 years ago, his mentor invited him to a tasting where he tried a 1953 Remoissenet Clos de Reas. Enthralled by the complexity of the aromas and flavours he slowly started to build his own collection. Although he has wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and California, he has a passion for Rieslings from the Mosel region and Sauternes. Most of his collection was purchased through LCBO/Vintages and the SAQ, with a small portion coming from Century Liquor in New York. The sauternes were stored in a Vintage Keeper at 58 degrees and the rest were stored in a stone wall lined cellar, temperature and humidity controlled
The score for 2011 Chateau Margaux is 93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The renowned Chateau Margaux’s 2011 boasts a dark ruby/plum color as well as a fragrant perfume of spring flowers, sweet, supple, well-integrated tannins, medium body, and the elegance and nobility expected from a great first-growth. Although it is not as powerful or concentrated as the 2009 or 2010 (no 2011s are), it possesses finesse, elegance, purity and suppleness. The wine is surprisingly approachable already yet should keep for 15-20 years.
