This Toronto based consignor has been collecting over 40 years. He acquired all of his wine directly from the LCBO and most were OWCs. The bottles have been meticulously stored in perfect climate controlled conditions prior to coming to Iron Gate.
The wine in this lot has a score of 97 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The 2005 Rieussec is a blend of 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle picked between 23 September and 27 October. It has a fabulous bouquet that is mineral-rich and tensile. The palate repeats its performance from last year- focused, tense, laden with botrytis-rich fruit with a crystalline and sorbet-fresh finish that seals the deal. One of the best releases from the estate in recent years.
