An Ontario-based consignor who is bringing her late husband’s collection to auction. He started collecting in his 20s and loved everything about wine, buying, drinking, cooking, reading and especially getting together with the members of his wine group to discuss bottles. He purchased through the LCBO, some agents and through auction. All bottles were stored in their wine fridge, at a constant temperature of 56 degrees and away from bright light.
The rating for 1997 Domaine D'Orfeuilles Reserve d'Automne Vouvray is 92 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Aromatically, the 1997 Vouvray Reserve d'Automne offers loads of ripe quince and candied lemons. This is a medium-bodied dessert wine, filled with caramelized minerals, red fruits, candied nuts, and sweet lemons. In no way is it heavy-handed, rather it is detail-oriented, subtle, pure, and extremely flavorful.
