This exceptional collection comes from a distinguished Vancouver-based consignor whose lifelong dedication to fine and rare wines and spirits has resulted in an impressive cellar. The consignor, an avid enthusiast and active buyer, began seriously collecting while attending Law School and Graduate Business School in New York City over a decade ago, acquiring wines from a myriad of esteemed sources over the years. Many of the wines in this particular consignment were sourced locally within Canada including from the BC Liquor Distribution Branch upon release, while others were procured from leading merchants in New York, the UK, and the Napa Valley. Wines acquired outside of Canada were transported via private aviation. All wines were recently removed by IronGate from a 1,000+ square foot temperature-controlled stone cellar under ideal conditions. These wines reflect a legacy of passion and expertise, as the consignor now makes room for new acquisitions.
The score for 2005 Chateau Leoville Las Cases St Julien is 98 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2005 Léoville Las Cases is a classic that numbers among the wines of the vintage in the Médoc. Wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis, incense, burning embers, sweet soil tones, dark chocolate and cigar wrapper, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a vibrant core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins. More elegant and refined than the hulking, uncompromising 2006, the 2005 is nevertheless a powerful, tightly wound wine that will reward further bottle age, even if it's actually quite expressive today.
