Driven by his passion for Italian wines sparked during a post-college trip to Italy, the collector began building his cellar in 2005, with an affection for Sassicaia. The majority of the collection was acquired directly through the SAQ in Québec—where he faithfully queued in the cold on release days and traveled across the city to secure his allocations—supplemented by Canadian wines purchased straight from the vineyards. Housed in a compact cellar, the bottles were largely preserved in their original wooden cases, with loose bottles periodically rotated to maintain cork integrity. As his collecting expanded alongside exceptional vintages, he established a personal tradition of opening a bottle from the previous year’s purchase whenever new releases arrived home.
2013 Masseto Toscana from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 99 points, James Suckling 98 points, Falstaff Magazine 98 points, Jeb Dunnuck 98 points, Vinous 97 points, The Wine Advocate 97 points. This is the tasting note for 2013 Masseto Toscana from Robert Parker - The 2013 Masseto paints a glorious picture of Tuscany. It captures an inspired moment in time and walks an impressive tightrope between power and elegance. In my preview tasting last year, I noticed the firm textural richness of the 2013 vintage and the crystalline sharpness of its aromas. Thanks to 12 additional months of bottle aging, that impression is evermore constant and concrete. The focus is there, yet the wine has also fleshed out and put on more velvety definition especially in terms of mouthfeel. It wears its pedigree with pride, but most importantly it offers the balance and integration to promise a long and healthy aging future. The 2013 vintage follows closely on the heels of the impeccable 2006 and 2010 vintages in terms of cellaring potential. This is definitely a bottle that should interest collectors.
