A prominent Toronto collector and long-time client of Iron Gate. Wines were purchased from the winery on release, shipped directly to professional storage and never touched until now. An incredible offering of American wine with excellent provenance.
The score for 1978 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St Julien is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - One of the wines of the vintage, the 1978 Ducru-Beaucaillou continues to drink beautifully, offering up aromas of sweet red berry fruit, cigar box, licorice and loamy soil, followed by a medium-bodied, velvety and melting palate that's deep and seamless, marrying intensity of flavor with weightlessness. From a cold cellar with good provenance, it is well worth seeking out.
