Since 2009, this consignor has been a collector of wine, which played a significant role in family dinners and events throughout his childhood. This early exposure inspired him to take wine courses as he grew older. He acquired bottles from the LCBO, SAQ, and auctions, often integrating wine into his travels. Initially, he stored his collection at Fine Wine Reserve before moving it to his home cellar. The crown jewels of his collection are the DRCs, which he won in the LCBO lottery.
The score for 2012 Tignanello Toscana IGT is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2012 Tignanello is a very handsome wine with dark fruit nuances that extend far beyond the normal spectrum for Sangiovese (and the smaller percentages of French grapes that complete this wine). This vintage, that started off with a very hot summer and ended with a cool harvest season, show a little more spice and Mediterranean herb on the finish. Grapes were harvested at the end of September and delivered slightly less alcohol than previous vintages. There is a point of freshness but the tannins are mature and yielding. In fact, the tannic management is spot-on and is complimented by the velvety and rich nature of the mouthfeel. Pretty mineral accents add a lasting touch of complexity. The 2012 Tignanello has the qualities for a successful evolution.
