A Toronto based consignor who inherited her father’s wine. Her father’s love of wine began when he travelled through Europe. He truly loved the craft of winemaking. He became a sommelier and then, later in life, was the chair of the Wine Sommeliers Guild of Canada. He always enjoyed having people over to share bottles from his collection. His wine was purchased through the LCBO, from auction and in Europe. He stored his wine in a perfectly temperature-controlled cellar and then it moved to the Fine Wine Reserve before coming to Iron Gate.
The score for 1966 Petrus Pomerol is 95 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Whilst I have tasted many vintages of Petrus, the 1966 Petrus is one that has eluded me. Finally, it appeared in a series of 1966s served blind and frankly, it's quality shone through long before its identity was revealed. You can consider this as the final great Petrus from the original vineyard, before absorbing part of Gazin in 1969. It revels in a stunning bouquet with graphite and bay leaf, as well as very intense black fruit that becomes almost Margaux-like with aeration. The palate is silky smooth with fine tannin, far more reserved and masculine than the 1964 Petrus, yet disarmingly focused and precise, hints of orange peel and morello cherry towards the pixelated finish. What a fabulous Pomerol, one that will last 15-20 years subject to provenance.
