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 2016 Markus Molitor Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese Green Capsule is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2016 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese ** (Green Capsule) offers a pretty clear and delicate, fresh and flinty bouquet with bright fruit aromas and clayey wet slate notes. On the palate, this is a tensioned, fresh, mineral and tightly woven Auslese in the medium sweet style. It's truly piquant and fresh, and the ripe, concentrated fruit is well balanced by vibrating minerals and phenolic grip. The finish is very long and fine, with a lot of salinity and slatey freshness. This is an impressive wine, but you should be patient with it.
