In 1997 this collector was backpacking through Europe and shared a bottle of 1986 Ramonet Montrachet with a friend and his love of wine began. He started collecting and cellaring wine seriously around the year 2000 and currently has 700+ bottles, mainly old world. He gravitates to the classics of France, Italy and Germany as well as Port. All of the wine was purchased upon release from the LCBO and Ontario wine agents and stored in temperature-controlled wine cabinets. He is selling some of his standard format bottles to make room for recently purchased magnums.
The rating for 2015 Tenuta Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is 97 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The Il Poggione 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows a darker and more concentrated appearance than many of its peers. The wine is beautifully abundant and fragrant in the most exuberant and expressive manner. You will recognize aromas of moist soil, tobacco and smoke. Candied cherry hovers over the entire bouquet. Fruit is sourced from older vines (all over 25 years old). Il Poggione occupies a special spot within the Montalcino appellation, and the area always produces slightly more concentrated and powerful wines. I find that to be particularly true in this gorgeous 2015 vintage. I am also very attracted to that almost dusty note of crushed mineral that rides long on the full-bodied finish. Il Poggione's Brunello is also distinguished by firm, youthful tannin that need a few more years to unwind. Luckily, there are quite a few bottles to go around, with some 200,000 made.
