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 1982 Chateau Batailley Pauillac is 91 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted at the Batailley vertical tasting at the château, the 1982 Batailley continues to perform well despite never really being the "go-to" Pauillac in this vintage. This might be the best of a dozen or so bottles that I have tasted over the years. The nose here is the most intense that I have encountered, with pencil shavings infusing the black fruit and cedar and a savory touch that becomes more pronounced as it opens. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, a classic Bordeaux here with good structure and a bullish, tobacco-tinged finish that is conservative but does the job. It cuts away a little too swiftly, but there is just enough dryness to keep you returning for another sip. I can see this continuing on its plateau over the next 15-20 years
