A Toronto-based collector who and started collecting about 15 years ago. A close friend introduced him to the world of fine wine and he never looked back. His wine was sourced from the LCBO, direct from wineries, and auction. All the wine was stored in his off-site climate-controlled facility or one of his higher quality wine refrigeration units.
The score for 2015 Marchesi Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore DOC is 97 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2015 Bolgheri Superiore Guado Al Tasso is another star performer from a vintage that was tailor-made by some higher being specifically for the blended red wines of Tuscany. This mix of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot slides seamlessly right in there with our highest expectations of the iconic vintage. The wine offers beautiful intensity and purity, yet it also delivers balanced power and lasting persistence. This is a baritone expression from Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast with impenetrable black fruit, chocolate and tobacco followed by rich concentration and tightly knit texture. I tasted this wine next to a barrel sample of the unfinished 2016 vintage. This vintage appears more exuberant and opulent at this early stage. Some 120,000 bottles were made.
