This Quebec consignor was introduced to the world of wine by one of the province’s most important private collectors, Champlain Charest. M Champlain shared his passion and taught him to invest in value wines. He began his own collection in 2010, and purchased all of the bottles through the SAQ, SAQ Grand Connaisseur and Champlain Charest wine cellar. Prior to arriving at Iron Gate, the wines were stored in a wine cellar with the temperature regulated at 14C-15C and humidity controlled to 70%.
The score for 1975 Vega Sicilia Unico Ribera del Duero is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Even if sometimes the 1975 can show a little herbal, the magnum of 1975 Único that I tasted showed quite well, still lively and with good concentration. At the time, the blend contained quite a high percentage of Bordeaux grapes and a little white, 70% Tinto Fino, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 5% between Malbec and Albillo Mayor, with an élevage of 10 years in oak containers of different sizes and ages. The resulting wine has 13.5% alcohol. 44,750 bottles and 2,000 magnums produced. Artwork by Rosalía Campo.
