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 2001 DRC La Tache Monopole Grand Cru is 90-93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Earth-laced blackberries can be discerned in the nose of the 2001 La Tache. Suave, plush, and regal, it boasts loads of candied black fruits in its deep character. This supple wine reveals superb clarity of fruit and an impressively long, fruit-filled finish. Concerning the 2001s, de Villaine, the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti’s co-director, stated that “it was not an easy year, it was a real roller coaster for vignerons. The estate’s vineyards, like everyone in Burgundy, had rot infestations so we did two harvests, one for the best, healthiest bunches and then another. Of course, we meticulously sorted all the fruit as we always do.” Those readers who are always looking for news concerning the next vintage will be interested to hear the following. Unlike almost all his colleagues who said that 2002 was going to be a spectacular vintage, de Villaine informed me that it would “another irregular year.”
