This avid and knowledgeable Edmonton-based collector has been cellaring high quality wines for several decades. The wines were typically purchased in multiple quantities (3, 6, 12 bottles) from trusted local fine wine retail shops but over time were also sourced from the SAQ, LCBO, during US travel, or direct from US wineries. To round out the collection and ‘fill holes’, highly collectable bottles of interest were occasionally purchased at auction in Canada where provenance was assured. The wines are from regions around the world and were stored after purchase in monitored temperature (54-57 °C) and humidity-controlled wine fridges. The size of the collection has grown to a point where, although not initially purchased for resale, the time has come to ‘thin’ out multiple bottle quantities for others to enjoy.

The wine in this lot has a score of 97+ from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The best vintages of Solaia are 1990, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010 and now 2013. Marchesi Antinori's 2013 Solaia is a profound and meaningful wine that is based mostly on Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc in supporting roles. It sports a dark and thick texture with plump fruit and spice, grilled herb and black pepper. The bouquet is intense and layered with the kind of complexity that is best admired as the wine shifts and evolves in the glass. The textual impact is also impressive—you feel the inherent power and the structure, but these elements are never overdone. The best is yet to come
