Growing up, wine was a staple of his family’s table and remains central to his own celebrations today. His collecting journey began in earnest in 2014 after completing a 400-bottle custom cellar; motivated by the sight of empty racks, he began sourcing premium bottles through the LCBO and during business travels across Canada. While his palate now spans a balance of Old and New World styles, his collection remains anchored by a sentimental focus on Australia—the origin of the first bottle he shared with his wife. This consignment features a notable selection of Penfolds; the Grange bottles were maintained in their original wooden cases, with all wines stored horizontally in a dedicated, climate-controlled environment to ensure pristine provenance.
2001 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 98 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 98 points, Falstaff Magazine 97 points, Wine & Spirits Magazine 96 points, James Halliday 96 points. This is the tasting note for 2001 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 from Robert Parker - It is always a treat to taste Australia’s most famous wine, Penfolds’ Grange cuvee (the word Hermitage has been dropped because of legal issues). The 2001 Grange is one of the few vintages of this cuvee to be composed of 100% Shiraz (the others being 1951, 1952, 1963, 1999, and 2000). Aged 17 months in 100% American oak, and tipping the scales at 14.5% alcohol, the 2001 is undeniably one of the top examples of this wine. At this stage, it appears to eclipse the 1998 and 1996. Inky/blue/purple to the rim, with a stunning perfume of blueberries, blackberries, chocolate, graphite, and earth, it boasts good acidity, huge tannins, magnificent concentration, and a multilayered, textured mouthfeel. It is a big, but impeccably well-balanced Shiraz that should shed some of its structure and tannin over the next 4-5 years, and be at its best between 2010-2030+.
