A collector since 2011, this consignor’s passion for wine was ignited after enjoying a bottle of Burgundy at a dinner in Paris. He purchased his wine on release through the LCBO and SAQ as well as from France and USA. All bottles were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar before coming to auction at Iron Gate.
1954 Justino's Madeira V J H Verdelho Madeira from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 92 points, Wine Spectator 90 points. This is the tasting note for 1954 Justino's Madeira V J H Verdelho Madeira from John Gilman - The 1954 Verdelho from Justino’s is a gorgeous wine at a beautiful point of evolution. The deep and complex nose offers up a refined constellation of orange, a touch of clover, celery seed, lovely soil tones, fresh almonds, cloves, cinnamon and a topnote note of citrus peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and quite powerful in personality, with a rock solid core, snappy acids and superb length and grip on the perfectly balanced and very classy finish. Fine juice.
