A Quebec based consignor whose passion for wine began in the early 1990s after joining a local wine club featuring winemaker presentations and paired tastings. Inspired by these experiences, he started collecting bottles he particularly enjoyed—an interest that grew over time. Most of his collection was acquired through the SAQ, supplemented by select private imports from wine agencies in Quebec and Ontario. The wines have been meticulously stored in his home cellar and in temperature-controlled facilities at various SAQ locations.
1998 Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 100 points. This is the tasting note for 1998 Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC from Robert Parker - with a score of 93 points. The wine of the flight, this 1998 is a wonderful wine, and it's hard to believe this is 25 years old. It has aromatic notes of mint, blackcurrants, wood spice and cedar. Ripe fruit emerges on the mid-palate with fine, silky tannins and crisp acidity. There's dense flavour concentration in the mouth, offering tobacco, clove, black plums, wood smoke and a long, lingering finish.Made in a relatively structured style for the normally succulent Ornellaia, the dense saturated ruby/purple-colored 1998 offers up aromas of pain grille, spice, smoke, black fruits, and graphite. Full-bodied, concentrated, exceptionally pure, and long, it will be at its finest between 2005-2018. Very impressive, but it requires patience. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr. Issue date
