A Calgary based consignor who credits his fascination of fine wine to his father and some friends who are sommeliers. He began to collect wine to age and became more focused on certain regions after a trip through Tuscany, Southern Rhone, Champagne and Burgundy. His bottles were procured through the LCBO, various retailers in Alberta and through Iron Gate auctions and have been stored in a temperature-controlled home wine cellar at a consistent 54F.
The tasting note for 2007 Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape is from Robert Parker and the score is 100 - One of the great vintages from this estate, surpassing even the 1990, 2000, 2001, 2003, and maybe the 2010 (time will tell with this one), the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Vincent Avril delivers everything you could want from a wine. Full-bodied, intense and beautifully concentrated, with plenty of muscle and depth, it shows the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate, with sensational notes of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, incense, smoked meats and Asian spices. The blend is the normal 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, brought up all in older foudre.
