A consignor based in Southwestern Ontario, his passion for wine began in his early adulthood, during a visit to his cousin in New York City. He was introduced to a couple of bottles of wine that were unlike anything he had ever tasted. Inspired by this experience, he began investing more money in the wine he bought. As he became more successful in his career, his appreciation for wine deepened, and he started collecting fine wines. He immersed himself in learning about wine, exploring various varietals, regions, and he and his wife visited Napa Valley twice with friends, which led to most of his early collection being focused on California wines. He soon ventured into Bordeaux Futures and found out that the LCBO offered an annual allocation of rare DRC wines, and over the years, he was fortunate enough to acquire several bottles. He takes great pride in his collection, purchased through the LCBO and direct from wineries, and stored all bottles in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.
The rating for 2019 Sassicaia Bolgheri is 98 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - 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.
