The collector from Cambridge ON was interested in the wine industry from a very young age. He was part of many wines clubs since 1980 and attended professional tastings looking for the best wines. The main focus of the collection has always been and still is Bordeaux, with other classic regions and fine spirits included. Most wines were purchased from release in LCBO. The collection has always been stored in a temperature controlled cellar.
The rating for 1985 Salon Cuvee S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Champagneis 95 points from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - A wonderful, mature Champagne, offering toast, mushroom, honey and citrus aromas and flavors that evolve into a long walnut aftertaste. Its richness is offset by bracing acidity, yet not quite fully integrated. Full-bodied and aristocratic.
