A collection from Ontario consisting of wines from France with a focus on the Bordeaux region. The consignor was referred to Iron Gate by a long-time client and friend and has taken exceptional care of their bottles. Purchased through various outlets and stored in climate-controlled conditions.
The rating for 1986 Chateau Gruaud Larose St Julien is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Still remarkably youthful, my most recent bottle of the 1986 Gruaud Larose exhibited an impressively opaque hue, followed by aromas of blackcurrants, cigar ash, loamy soil, pencil shavings and subtle hints of smoked meats. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's a rich but tightly wound wine, with a deep core of fruit, lively acids and an abundance of powdery structuring tannin. Incredible as it may seem, it's comparatively advanced bottles of this 1986 that are drinking best today, as pristinely stored examples with perfect corks are still almost painfully youthful.
