In the mid 1970’s, a close friend of this consignor invited him and five colleagues to a blind tasting of six wines. This casual gathering led to the creation of L’Ordre des Tirebouchons. The group held monthly tastings, where the host would present six wines to be tasted blind, paired with a gourmet meal of four to five courses. A decade later, to mark their tenth anniversary, they traveled to Paris for a ten-day celebration, indulging in some of the city’s finest restaurants, with a memorable four-and-a-half-hour lunch at Le Pré Catalan standing out as one of the highlights. His passion for wine also led him to tour France on four separate occasions to visit various wineries, along with trips to Australia and South Africa. In 1977, he started to seriously collect wines, maintaining a cellar of over 100 bottles. L’Ordre des Tirebouchons also boasted its own wine cellar, where they sourced prestigious bottles like Château Pétrus and La Tâche. All these wines were acquired through Vintages at the LCBO and stored in a dedicated wine fridge in his basement, ensuring the collection remained in perfect condition.
The rating for 2017 Chateau Clerc Milon Pauillac is 94+ points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2017 Clerc Milon is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and offers up a gorgeous nose of potpourri, cinnamon stick, candied violets and kirsch over a core of warm cassis, plum preserves and boysenberries with a waft of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers loads of muscular fruit with a firm, fine-grained texture and tons of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. The rating for 2017 Chateau Latour a Pomerol Pomerol is 93+ points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Deep garnet-purple in color and composed of 100% Merlot, the 2017 Latour à Pomerol leaps from the glass with expressive scents of baked plums, warm black cherries and boysenberries with wafts of fallen leaves, bouquet garni and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating, muscular black fruits with a firm backbone of rounded tannins and a long, minerally finish. The rating for 2017 Chateau Leoville Poyferre St Julien is 94+ points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Léoville Poyferré needs a little coaxing to reveal pretty scents of violets, Black Forest cake and blueberry preserves with hints of raspberry leaves, roses, cigar box and fragrant earth. Medium-bodied, the palate has a quiet intensity with loads of subtle layers and a well-poised frame of soft, fine-grained tannins, finishing long and refreshing.
