An offering from a long-time, Ontario-based cellar. With an interest in wine that spanned decades, the collector had the opportunity to taste broadly across across many classic and specialty styles. He began his cellar throughout the late 1980's and early 1990's, sourcing mainly from the LCBO, SAQ, trusted agencies, and some US retail stores. Throughout the years the wines were stored both professionally at Iron Gate as well as in temperature and humidity-controlled home cellars.
The score for 2005 Chateau Lafleur Pomerol is 100 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - This amazing wine puts on a display of fireworks in terms of its aromatics, with a stunning nose of blue and black fruits, forest floor, flowers and earth. Dense purple, full-bodied, rich, moderately tannic and super-concentrated, this is a profound Pomerol that still needs another decade of cellaring. This is possibly the greatest Lafleur of the modern era, rivaling the 1982 and 2000. Forget it for another 5-10 years and drink it over the following quarter-century. Additional scores for the wine in this lot - The Wine Advocate 100 points , Wine Spectator 100 points , James Suckling 100 points .
