A Niagara based consignor who is auctioning wines collected by her father. He developed a love of wine in his early 20s (in the 1970s) and his collection flourished once he built a cellar in 1991. The majority of the bottles were purchased through the LCBO, but some were bought on travels to wine regions. The bottles were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar before arriving at Iron Gate.
The score for 2000 Chateau La Chapelle de Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan is 90 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - A beautiful, soft, richly fruity wine with silky tannins, loads of blue fruits, and hints of smoky barbecue and graphite, the 2000 La Chapelle de La Mission is fleshy, evolved, and complex, a top-notch success that gets a slight upgrade from my original review.
