This parcel of wine and spirits was brought to us by a long-time aficionado, who began collecting wine in 1981. His interest in collecting began during his career, where every successful business closure was celebrated with fine wine. His wines and spirits were purchased through the SAQ, LCBO, and US independent retailers, and were stored in his temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar before coming to auction.
The score for 1999 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte Toscana IGT is 94 from Tom Cannavan and the tasting note - Martino believes this will be one of the longest lived of the recent Pergole Tortes. It has a more vibrant colour, with a garnet core. There's a cedary aspect on the nose, with toffee and ripe red fruit. Nice glossy fruit quality on the palate, with blackcurrant and cherry, and a really deep sweetness of fruit. This is supple and quite creamy on the mid palate, with a clean, pure cherry character and brisk but chocolaty tannins. Chewy, savoury and well balanced in the finish.
