This Toronto based collector is a long time storage client at Iron Gate. He has decided to sell some of his extensive collection which includes some wonderful back vintages from Napa and France.
The score for 1982 Chateau Latour Pauillac Premier Cru is 100 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - One of the three or four very greatest wines of the vintage, the 1982 Latour delivers aromas of dark berry fruit, rich cigar wrapper, loamy soil, walnuts and smoke. Full-bodied, broad and layered, it's deep, seamless and immensely concentrated, its fleshy core framed by sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, expansive finish. A monument to the greatness of Bordeaux, it is one wine that's worthy of all the praise that has been lavished on it over the years.
