Upon tasting a 1990 bottle from Rousseau this consignor had an epiphany and his passion for wine was ignited. He began collecting over 20 years ago, purchasing through auctions and on travels abroad. His bottles were stored in temperature and humidity-controlled wine cabinets prior to arriving at Iron Gate.
The score for 2005 Joseph Drouhin Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru is 92 points from Allen Meadows, The Burghound and the tasting note - An expressive and highly complex nose of pain grillé, green fruit, dried rose petal and anise hints leads to rich, full and impressively intense full-bodied flavors that possess plenty of muscle as well as excellent dry extract that really coats the mouth on the long and at this point, decidedly serious finish. This is very Corton-Charlemagne in character and one that should repay handsomely mid-term cellaring.
