This consignor, located in the GTA, grew up watching his Italian father make wine every year. When he was of age, he started to discover different grapes and regions and began to purchase bottles to lay down. He took some courses and attended tasting events and began to seriously collect. His wine is from the LCBO and a few agents and was stored in a humidity and temperature-controlled wine room before arriving for auction.
The score for 2000 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac is 97 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - 2000 saw a warm, dry July and August with a small amount of rain from mid-September onward. Composed of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2000 Latour has a deep garnet color and is showing a good amount of evolution, sporting mature notes of fried exotic spices, hoisin, unsmoked cigars and fruitcake with hints of incense, potpourri, cast iron pan and charcuterie. Medium-bodied, soft, plush and savory in the mouth, it has a long, mineral-tinged finish. 14,000 cases were made this year, representing 48% of production.
