A consignor who has been drinking wine more seriously for the past 25 years and gaining knowledge through tastings. He is a drinker first and a collector second. All wine was bought at the SAQ, either in stores, or lotteries, and was stored in his cellar immediately after the purchase. He chooses wine based on producers more than appellation and firmly believes that wine is meant to be shared. It is his hope that these bottles make their way to like minded individuals.

The score for 2020 Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2020 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is made with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with small percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It opens to an impenetrable, full-bodied approach with dark fruit, pencil shaving, toasted oak, Spanish cedar, campfire ash and iron ore. For sure, this is an especially concentrated and oak-driven vintage of this iconic wine. It absolutely requires more aging time. It feels quite tight and firm in its youth. The concentration is abundant.
