These bottles are from the cellar of a long time licensee (restaurant) in Eastern Canada. They were acquired on release from the agent and immediately stored in the restaurant's environmentally controlled cellar until coming to Iron Gate.
Producer Notes - This was not an exceptional year but the incredible combination of environmental and climatic factors in Bolgheri’s terroir once again allowed for the creation of a wine far above the norm. The bouquet is slightly spicy and has notes of sweet wood, pepper and a hint of herbs. The mouthfeel has an average concentration and a pleasing aftertaste of red fruit with a nice persistence.
