A consignor from Alberta whose interest in fine wine piqued in university after tasting a great bottle at an event. Shortly after earning his master’s degree, he began collecting in earnest, fueled by a year in London that allowed for frequent trips to France and a deeper appreciation of its remarkable terroir. Over the years, his collection grew, sourced through the ALB and numerous journeys to the renowned wine regions of France, Italy, Napa, Sonoma, and the Willamette Valley. Each bottle was stored in his climate-controlled cellar prior to auction.

2019 Sassicaia Bolgheri from this lot has the following scores - Falstaff Magazine 100 points, Decanter 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2019 Sassicaia Bolgheri from Robert Parker - with a score of 98 points. The latest release from Tenuta San Guido is the 2019 Bolgheri Sassicaia. The bouquet is up front and very expressive from the get-go. It offers a generous display of crunchy, dark cherry that hints at the extra concentration and fruit weight obtained in the 2019 growing season. This vintage will be remembered for the crisp richness of the fruit and its important textural imprint. It also shows fine elegance, bordering on the ethereal, with berry aromas, tarry earth and brushes of balsam herb or grilled rosemary. Sassicaia always shows an almost-glossy finely knit quality to the polished mouthfeel, and I find it again here next to fresh acidity and firm tannins. Mouthfeel in 2019 is the wine's strongest suit. The 2019 is one of the prettiest and most balanced editions of Sassicaia we've seen this past decade, along with the back-to-back duo of 2016 and 2015. The 2019 marries the precision of the 2016 with the rich fruit weight of the 2015.
