An Ontario-based cellar curated over the years by a husband and wife team. A passion for wine was acquired over years of working in the finance industry and throughout this period they acquired a range of fine Bordeaux, Vintage Port, and California Cults. Wines were stored in a home cellar and have been hand inspected by a member of the Iron Gate team for quality and authenticity.
The score for 2004 Opus One Napa Valley is 96 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Aged in 100% new French oak for 17 months and in bottle for 14 months prior to release, the 2004 Opus One is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. It boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with a sweet bouquet of lead pencil shavings, black currants and a hint of toasty oak. More evolved than usual, this full-bodied, opulent 2004 is part of the new wave of Opus Ones made under the administration of Philippe Dhalluin, the administrator of Mouton Rothschild, who has begun to exploit this estate’s enormous potential. This beauty can be drunk now or cellared for another 20 years.
