A consignor who began collecting wine in 1980, inspired by a close friend who introduced him to the world of wine. His passion grew quickly, and over time, his collection expanded to 3,500 bottles. All wines were sourced directly on release from the LCBO, with many acquired through the Bordeaux Futures program. Most remain in sealed original wood cases bearing LCBO labels and his name, ensuring excellent provenance and condition. From the start, all bottles were stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled walk-in cellar at home, with some later transferred to professional storage at IronGate, where the consigned wines are currently held. His collection focuses on Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Italian wines, collected for enjoyment rather than investment.
2016 La Chapelle D'Ausone St Emilion Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - Jean-Marc Quarin 96 points, Vinous 95 points, James Suckling 95 points, Tim Atkin, MW 95 points, The Wine Advocate 94 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 94 points, Falstaff Magazine 94 points, Wine Enthusiast 94 points, Jeb Dunnuck 94 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 94 points, Winedoctor 94 points, The Wine Independent 94 points. This is the tasting note for 2016 La Chapelle D'Ausone St Emilion Grand Cru from Robert Parker - A blend of 56% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Chapelle d'Ausone sings of black raspberries, kirsch and plum preserves with hints of unsmoked cigars, pencil lead, lavender and chocolate box plus a waft of garrigue. Medium-bodied and fantastically elegant in the mouth, the red and black fruit layers are beautifully framed by firm yet fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and minerally.
