A Toronto-based consignor who has been collecting since the 80s. All US wine in this auction was purchased directly from the vineyards and all old-world bottles were bought through various retail outlets. The collection has been meticulously stored in professional wine storage facilities prior to arriving for auction at Iron Gate.
The tasting note for 1997 Peter Michael Les Pavots is from Robert Parker and the score is 96 - The 1997 Les Pavots originates from a hillside vineyard overlooking the Knight's Valley that has 23 acres planted with Bordeaux varietals... Fortunately, there are 4,351 cases of 750 ml bottles. A blue/black/purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of toast, blackberries, creme de cassis, licorice, and cedar. Full-bodied, with silky tannin, low acidity, and layers of concentrated, pure black fruits judiciously wrapped in subtle toasty oak, this wine can be drunk early, but promises to hit its peak in 5-7 years, and last for two or more decades.
