The consignor’s passion for wine began during an extensive study of Australian wine regions, eventually leading him to establish his own import agency. While his expertise spans the globe, his personal collecting focus shifted toward Burgundy following the release of the 2002 vintage. All bottles in this collection were acquired through the LCBO and have been meticulously maintained in his custom home cellar, featuring dedicated temperature and humidity controls.
2001 Masseto Toscana from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 100 points, James Suckling 100 points, Falstaff Magazine 100 points, Decanter 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2001 Masseto Toscana from Robert Parker - with a score of 98 points. The massive 2001 Masseto forms with Le Macchiole’s Messorio and Tua Rita’s Redigaffi a trio of world class Merlots in a ten square mile area where the variety virtually did not exist 15 years ago. The volume, richness, and sumptuousness are almost beyond description, as are the length and density of the flow and finish, but there is an underlying vein of purity and freshness which help maintain an impeccable balance. Drink- 2006-2025.
