An avid wine collector from Montreal. Wines were purchased through the SAQ over the last 30 years and stored in a temperature and humidity controlled home cellar before arriving at Iron Gate.
The score for 1980 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac is 90 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - A complete shock to everyone who tasted this blind at La Trouvaille. Tasted alongside Lynch Bages '66, a little fatter on the nose with notes of cedar and cooked meats. Good poise and freshness. The palate has good depth, smooth tannins and quite vivacious. Full of life and vigour. Where does the concentration come from? Who cares - a wine that stuck two fingers up at all its critics who have ever dismissed this wine.
