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.
Winemaker notes - Deep ruby colour, with plush notes of amarena cherries, wild strawberries, tar followed by forest floor and tobacco notes. Concentrated and savoury palate, shows balance of chewy but fine-grained tannins and persistence of finish. Drink now to 2040. The 2016 vintage - we can define it as excellent and partly surprising. The wines were actually born well in all senses. It was a pogressive evolotion in all the various stages of aging to define it as an excellent vintage. We believe that the merit is of Mother Nature who gave us an very balanced season without excesses and without lack, thus facilitating the plants to optimize their productive cycle.
