A whisky connoisseur first, the consignor became interested in wine after attending a Bordeaux tasting led by Barbara Philip MW. They tasted through the 2016 releases which included a Chateau Margaux and he found it amazing. He sourced his bottles via Alberta merchants and BC liquor stores and a few while travelling in Europe. He stores his wine in two large 350 bottle wine cellar units, both temperature and humidity controlled.
The score for 2013 Chateau Rayas Pignan Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve is 94 from Vinous and the tasting note - Vivid red. Displays expansive, spice- and mineral-accented aromas of black raspberry and blueberry, along with suggestions of white pepper and lavender oil. Stains the palate with intense red and dark berry flavors, showing a suave blend of power and energy. Quiet rich for this bottling, finishing with excellent thrust, supple tannins and a hint of smokiness lingering.
