The excellent wine list at Toronto’s Granite Club inspired this gentleman to begin collecting wine years ago. The collection consists of Cru Classe Bordeaux, Burgundy and California classics, most purchased on visits to these regions. Some of the wine came from specialty wine stores in New York. His wine, which has always been stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar, has made its way to Iron Gate as he and his wife are downsizing.
The wine in this lot has a score of 97 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The nose is very expressive, a bouquet with open arms, touches of molasses once again, peppermint, nutmeg and hint of lemongrass. Beautiful definition. The palate is medium-bodied, very fine tannins, perhaps more so than the 1976 although it does not have quite the same depth of concentration and complexity. But there is a compelling core of dates, spice, cooked meats, citrus lemon and candied orange peel. This is as good as any mature Claret I have tasted of similar age. Awesome.
