An Ontario based collector whose French father bought wine as a treat when he was growing up. As he grew older, he wanted to appreciate what his father saw in wine and began to read wine books and take college wine tasting courses. When he started working, he bought his first Bordeaux futures in 1996 and has not looked back. Most of his bottles come from the LCBO but he also purchased through SAQ. He also has a collection of California cabs in professional storage in the US. His wines here were stored in his cellar, humidity and temperature controlled.
The score for 2016 Tignanello Toscana IGT is 97 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - To hit the market in June, the 2016 Tignanello is a rock-solid wine and a stunning beauty. The wine offers an impeccable level of precision and laser-focus delivery of fruits, spices, tilled earth, espresso beans and Mediterranean herbs. This vintage follows the classic blending formula of 80% Sangiovese with about 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet Franc. The vines are now 15 to 20 years old. Compared to the 2015 vintage that ultimately appeared more chewy and succulent, this expression from the iconic 2016 vintage is more vibrant, nervous and jazzed. It shows more savory spice, saltiness and minerality, with a beautifully integrated quality of tannins. Some 320,000 bottles were produced. This wine is at the top of the list of some of the best Tignanello ever made, including the vintages 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2015.
