Merged lot. First provenance- This consignor, located in Oakville, began collecting wine in the late 1990s when his friend educated him on the pleasures of fine wine, the benefits of aging wine and the importance of proper storage. He bought 3 large climate-controlled wine cabinets and filled them with bottles purchased from the LCBO, other provincial retailers and from wineries directly. Over the past several years, he has been downsizing his collection benefit auction and now Iron Gate. Second provenance - A Toronto based consignor who has been collection wine since 2008. The majority of the wine in this collection was purchased through the LCBO and Halpern and a few other high-quality distributors in Ontario. All of the bottles have been stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar prior to arriving at Iron Gate for auction.
The score for 2000 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St Julien is 96 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, the medium to deep garnet-brick colored 2000 Ducru-Beaucaillou charges out of the gate with flamboyant scents of baked black currants, raisin cake, prunes, Chinese five spice and eucalyptus plus touches of cigar box, new leather and cast iron pan. Medium-bodied, the palate is remarkably refreshing with all these decadent spice and dried berries layers coating the palate, textured by soft, powdery tannins, finishing long and mineral laced. Stunning!
