This consignor, located in BC, has long been amazed by the wine knowledge of Sommeliers and wine professionals, their palate and abilities to identify wines from just one sip, and began to collect in 2007. His bottles were mainly purchased directly from the Vineyard, through Boutique Wine Imports, or specialty wine shops locally in Vancouver. Prior to landing at Iron Gate,he stored the wine in a temperature-controlled cellar and at 13C in Vancouver.
The score for 1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires Champagne is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Drunk from a bottle that was disgorged in 2016, the 1995 Blanc des Millenaires continues to show very well, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of waxy citrus rind, dried pear, walnut oil, warm bread and fresh pastry. On the palate, it's full-bodied, enveloping and chalky, with a rich and muscular core, lively acids and a long, precise finish. Impeccably balanced, this is a cuvée I have drunk on many occasions and which used to be well-represented in my own cellar, but this is as good a bottle as I have ever encountered.
