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.
2014 Sassicaia Bolgheri from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 96 points, Wine Enthusiast 95 points, Falstaff Magazine 94 points, Wine & Spirits Magazine 94 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 94 points. This is the tasting note for 2014 Sassicaia Bolgheri from Robert Parker - This is my official review of the 2014 Bolgheri Sassicaia after having been graciously invited to the estate for various barrel samples spanning back several years. I have watched the evolution of this wine with a close eye and am impressed by how its real quality is diametrically opposed to the poor expectations of this difficult vintage. The nose is redolent of bright fruit and blackberry. Spice, tar and leather appear subtly at the back. The wine took on considerable weight each year I came back to taste it and this vintage was bottled earlier than average, precisely to give it more time to unwind and relax in the small confines of the bottle. This is a solid effort for sure and the wine is a stunning example of what it takes to make great wine, even when weather conditions are not in your favor.
