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 Chateau Margaux is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Bottled very late (November, 1997), the 1995 has continued to flesh out, developing into one of the great classics made under the Mentzelopoulos regime. The color is opaque ruby/purple. The nose offers aromas of licorice and sweet smoky new oak intermixed with jammy black fruits, licorice, and minerals. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with extraordinary richness, fabulous equilibrium, and hefty tannin in the finish. In spite of its large size and youthfulness, this wine is user-friendly and accessible. This is a thrilling Margaux that will always be softer and more evolved than its broader-shouldered sibling, the 1996. How fascinating it will be to follow the evolution of both of these vintages over the next half century.
