This parcel of wine and spirits was brought to us by a long-time aficionado, who began collecting wine in 1981. His interest in collecting began during his career, where every successful business closure was celebrated with fine wine. His wines and spirits were purchased through the SAQ, LCBO, and US independent retailers, and were stored in his temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar before coming to auction.
The wine in this lot has a score of 90 from Wine Enthusiast and the following tasting note -One of the longest-held wines in the world, this new release shows both deep color and body. Mature leathery, cassis and kirsch aromas, followed by plummy, almost pruny fruit, and a clear chocolaty flavor. A big Cabernet/Sangiovese blend demanding equally big fare- osso buco, a T-bone steak, etc.
