A Toronto-based collector whose passion in wine ignited while dining frequently in the city's restaurants. He then married a woman from France and spent extended periods travelling around the country, tasting wines from all the top regions. All the wines except the magnum of port were bought directly from local importers or the LCBO. Everything was stored from purchase at the Vintage Conservatory in Toronto.
The score for 2016 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Larmes de Grappe is 90 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2016 Pinot Noir Larmes de Grappe comes from the Sanford and Benedict vineyard and was made using 100% whole-cluster fermentation. It has a pale to medium ruby color and is softly scented of red berries, leather, pipe tobacco and garrigue with warm earth, wild blackberries and citrus peel. It's light to medium-bodied and earthy in the mouth with finely integrated acidity and grainy tannins, finishing long and spiced.
