An avid wine collector from Montreal. Wines were purchased through the SAQ over the last 30 years and stored in a temperature and humidity controlled home cellar before arriving at Iron Gate.
The score for 1995 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - It is fun to go back and forth between the 1995 and 1996, two superb vintages for Haut-Brion. The 1995 seems to have sweeter tannin and a bit more fat and seamlessness when compared to the more structured and muscular 1996. Certainly 1995 was a vintage that the brilliant administrator Jean Delmas handled flawlessly. The result is a deep ruby/purple-colored wine with a tight but promising nose of burning wood embers intermixed with vanilla, spice box, earth, mineral, sweet cherry, black currant, plum-like fruit, medium to full body, a high level of ripe but sweet tannin, and a finish that goes on for a good 40-45 seconds. This wine is just beginning to emerge from a very closed state where it was unyielding and backward. Anticipated maturity - 2006-2035.
