A consignor who began collecting wine in 1980, inspired by a close friend who introduced him to the world of wine. His passion grew quickly, and over time, his collection expanded to 3,500 bottles. All wines were sourced directly on release from the LCBO, with many acquired through the Bordeaux Futures program. Most remain in sealed original wood cases bearing LCBO labels and his name, ensuring excellent provenance and condition. From the start, all bottles were stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled walk-in cellar at home, with some later transferred to professional storage at IronGate, where the consigned wines are currently held. His collection focuses on Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Italian wines, collected for enjoyment rather than investment.
2016 Roagna Montefico Vecchie Viti Barbaresco DOCG from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 95 points. This is the tasting note for 2016 Roagna Montefico Vecchie Viti Barbaresco DOCG from Robert Parker - Extremely elegant and fine, the Roagna 2016 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti is another protagonist of this estate's old-vine series. These are some of the top expressions of Nebbiolo you will find on the market today, and these late releases have the added benefit of being from the iconic 2016 vintage that produced beautifully age-worthy wines across the board. The Montefico has ample power and structure that comes up from behind, slowly. It also shows pinpoint aromas of dark fruit, licorice and pressed violet that extend the wine's long finish.
