Since 2009, this consignor has been a collector of wine, which played a significant role in family dinners and events throughout his childhood. This early exposure inspired him to take wine courses as he grew older. He acquired bottles from the LCBO, SAQ, and auctions, often integrating wine into his travels. Initially, he stored his collection at Fine Wine Reserve before moving it to his home cellar. The crown jewels of his collection are the DRCs, which he won in the LCBO lottery.
The score for 2015 Tignanello Toscana IGT is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2015 Tignanello is a wine that opens, like a fully blossomed rose, right in front of you. This vintage is immediately accessible, generous and opulent. The wine will surely flesh out and gain focus with more bottle age, but one of the best qualities of this vintage is just how beautiful the wine tastes straight out of the gate. The fruit is beautifully ripe with fresh blackberry and cherry nuances, spice, leather, sweet tobacco and smoke. Up until this vintage, the various blending components that make up Tignanello were vinifed in separate lots. Starting with 2015, the wine is blended sooner in order to achieve better overall integration. The entire Tignanello estate counts 130 hectares of vines, but the single-vineyard Tignanello that makes this wine is 57 hectares. Some 340,000 bottles were produced.
