A blue chip collection filled with top California cult and fine Burgundy. The collector began amassing Old World wines when living in Montreal and Toronto and expanded his appreciation for California wine when living in San Francisco. Starting his cellar in the late 1990's, the majority of the wines were purchased directly from the winery or estate and were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled private cellar.
2016 DRC Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru has following scores - CellarTracker 94, BurgHound.com 93. 2016 DRC Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru has the score of 93-95 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -The 2016 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru was cropped at seven hectoliters per hectare, and it handles the sway of the barrel in superior fashion to that of the Echezeaux, at least at the moment. There is crisp blackberry and bilberry fruit, fine mineralité and a whiff of wild heather and drizzly moorland. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin. It is underpinned by crisp acidity, and here I discerned more red fruit vis-à-vis the Echézeaux, blessed with a tender but sustained and poised finish. This is classy, and I suspect this year, a step up from the Echézeaux.
