This Toronto based consignor bought his first serious bottle of wine in 2005 after attending a Burgundy tasting. He had the privilege of tasting blue chip wines with excellent provenance and realized the investment potential and unlimited dividends of enjoying the wine and was hooked. He purchases through the LCBO and direct from wineries and stores his bottles at a professional storage facility.
The score for 2005 Chateau Angelus St Emilion Grand Cru is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Truly great stuff, this wine performed at a three-digit level both in the horizontal tasting of 2005s in Baltimore, as well as in Montreal at this mini-vertical. This sensational, opaque, bluish/purple wine offers up notes of vanillin, spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, plus a touch of licorice. The wine hits the palate with a thunderous cascade of ripe, rich, concentrated fruit. It is full-bodied, multidimensional and layered. The tannins are beautifully integrated but still present, and the wood, acidity, alcohol, etc., are all beautifully assimilated in this magnificent, majestic vintage of Angelus. It can be drunk now, but it is still an adolescent and that suggests it has at least another 25-35 years of longevity.
