A Toronto-based collector whose passion in wine ignited while dining frequently in the city's restaurants. He then married a woman from France and spent extended periods travelling around the country, tasting wines from all the top regions.

2016 Falletto di Bruno Giacosa Barolo DOCG from this lot has the following scores - Wines Critic 99 points, The Wine Advocate 97 points, James Suckling 97 points. This is the tasting note for 2016 Falletto di Bruno Giacosa Barolo DOCG from James Suckling - This is a really dense red with intensity and beauty, showing dried fruit, such as strawberries, as well as chocolate, tar, hazelnuts and meat. Really complex and rich. Opulent, yet tense with dusty tannins. Extremely long. Great finish. Hard not to drink now, but will age incredibly well.
