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 Dominus Estate Napa Valley is 98 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - This blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot (note that rarely is any Merlot utilized at the historic Napanook Estate in Yountville). The alcohol, by California standards, is a relatively modest 14.1%. Blending the best of French savoir faire with the brilliant fruit purity and ripeness of Napa Valley, Moueix has turned in another tour de force that seems far superior today than it did when it was first released. This is one of the vintage’s greatest wines. Dense purple and youthful, with a glorious nose of earth, blackcurrants, sweet black cherries and incense, the oak is pushed way in the background, as it is in all of the Moueix wines, and the result is a wine of terroir, of great originality and authenticity. This full-bodied classic from Dominus can be drunk now, but really won’t hit its prime for another 4-5 years and last at least another two decades or more.
