On a trip to Paris, a leather-bound Champagne list organized by grape, vineyard, and year sparked the consignors’ interest in wine. They began attending tastings held by restaurants, agents, and the LCBO, buying the best from these events, including the 1985 and 1996 Krugs purchased directly during a presentation by Remy Krug in Toronto. They collected heavily from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s, focusing on wines they tasted personally or that were highly rated by Robert Parker. The collection contains no private auction or individual purchases; every bottle was sourced through the LCBO, agents, or specialty shops during their travels. Prior to auction, all wines were stored in temperature and moisture-controlled fridges. A high-end restaurant recently opened several of their bottles, noting the impressive quality and condition despite long-term storage.
2003 Chateau Ausone St Emilion Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2003 Chateau Ausone St Emilion Grand Cru from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. Amazing The limestone soils of Ausone appear to have been the perfect foil for resisting the extreme heat and drought of June, July and August, 2003. This black/purple-colored effort boasts a glorious nose of violets, truffles, lead pencil shavings, blueberry and blackberry liqueur. Full-bodied with staggering concentration, a voluptuous texture, low acidity and well-integrated, melted tannins, this deep, multidimensional, profound Bordeaux is beginning to drink exceptionally well. It should continue to do so for another two decades or more.
