An Alberta-based consignor who worked his way through university, gaining experience at renowned restaurants with exceptional wine programs. His passion for food and wine grew as he surrounded himself with like-minded people who shared the same enthusiasm for the subject. With nearly 20 years of experience in the wine industry, he holds both his sommelier accreditation and the WSET Diploma. He has been collecting wine since 2007 and is the sole owner of all the bottles in his collection. He purchases his wines upon release through retailers via the AGLC, and each bottle has traveled directly from the winery to the retailer, before being carefully stored in his cellar.
The rating for NV Krug Grande Cuvee 170 eme Edition Brut is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition is based on the 2014 vintage, complemented by some 45% reserve wines dating back to 1998, with the house drawing on, among many others, 2013 for structure and 2012 and 2003 for generosity. Opening in the glass with aromas of pastry cream, dried fruits, pear, warm spices, freshly baked bread and vanilla pod, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and fine-boned, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a precise, chiseled profile. But if the latter adjective could be applied to the 2013-base 169ème édition equally felicitously, the 2014-base 170ème is more giving and less tightly wound out of the gates and will offer more demonstrative drinking young.
