This Vancouver based collector became fascinated with wine when he was training in the hotel and restaurant industry and had to learn about it. He was constantly trying new wine and that evolved to an interest in rare and cult wines. He began collecting 20 years ago and purchased the bottles through a private shop. Prior to auction the wine was stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled Caravin cellar.
The score for 2012 Chateau Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Reserve is 92-95 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Richer and more textured, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is an even split of Grenache Blanc and Clairette. Offering up thrilling notes of citrus oil, flowers, marzipan and brioche, it stays remarkably poised and fresh on the palate, with building richness and length. It too is superb stuff that will keep for years, yet also dish out plenty of pleasure in its youth.
