A Toronto-based collector whose passion in wine ignited while dining frequently in the city's restaurants. He then married a woman from France and spent extended periods travelling around the country, tasting wines from all the top regions. All the wines except the magnum of port were bought directly from local importers or the LCBO. Everything was stored from purchase at the Vintage Conservatory in Toronto.
The score for 2019 Gerard Raphet Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is 94 from Allen Meadows, The Burghound and the tasting note - More deeply pitched aromas are ripe and fresh with notes of cassis, black cherry, spice, earth and a suggestion of sauvage character. The rich, concentrated and powerful broad-shouldered flavors brim with sappy dry extract as the old vines are in evident on the complex and impressively persistent finish where the only nit is a trace of warmth. Be aware that this is very firm and quite serious and as such, a wine that will need extended cellaring if you wish to enjoy it at or near its peak. Excellent.
