When this Niagara based consignor was training to be a chef, 40 years ago, his mentor invited him to a tasting where he tried a 1953 Remoissenet Clos de Reas. Enthralled by the complexity of the aromas and flavours he slowly started to build his own collection. Although he has wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and California, he has a passion for Rieslings from the Mosel region and Sauternes. Most of his collection was purchased through LCBO/Vintages and the SAQ, with a small portion coming from Century Liquor in New York. The sauternes were stored in a Vintage Keeper at 58 degrees and the rest were stored in a stone wall lined cellar, temperature and humidity controlled
The score for 2012 DRC Echezeaux Grand Cru is 92 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - I adored the 2012 Echézeaux Grand Cru from barrel and I adore it from bottle. Picked on September 29-30 at 22 hectoliters per hectare, those explosive aromatics from barrel are replicated here with bright red cherries, kirsch and rose petals, all beautifully defined and imbued with a sense of exuberance. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, a dash of white pepper on the tip of the tongue and a beautifully poised, elegant finish. This is an Echézeaux determined to be above its station. Wonderful. 1,057 cases produced.
