A long-time client of Iron Gate’s, this consignor has always enjoyed wine and began to collect in earnest in 2008. He built a custom 1000 bottle cellar at his lake house and all wine is stored there or with Iron Gate. The wines on offer in this auction were all purchased through LCBO and Iron Gate auctions.
The score for 2002 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe is 93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - As it closes in on age 20, the 2002 Haut-Brion is beginning to drink very well, opening in the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, plums, cigar wrapper, loamy soil, burning embers and violets. Fleshing out considerably with an hour or two in the decanter, it's medium-bodied, vibrant and concentrated, exemplifying the ideal of intensity without weight, with a deep core of fruit framed by powdery tannins and lively acids. An underrated wine that has rewarded patience, the 2002 Haut-Brion confirms that great terroirs over-perform in cooler, more challenging years.
