This parcel of wine and spirits was brought to us by a long-time aficionado, who began collecting wine in 1981. His interest in collecting began during his career, where every successful business closure was celebrated with fine wine. His wines and spirits were purchased through the SAQ, LCBO, and US independent retailers, and were stored in his temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar before coming to auction.
The wine in this lot has a score of 94 from Allen Meadows and the following tasting note -Still deeply colored though there is some lightening at the rim. Ripe, fresh and complex aromas blend both primary and secondary fruit aromas (though no sous-bois) with those of earth, spice and subtle floral wisps. There is excellent concentration, power and richness to the larger-scaled and serious flavors that possess impressive complexity on the lingering and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is a lovely 2005 with none of the excesses that some wines display and while it could be enjoyed now, I would advise holding it for a few more years first. In a word, excellent.
