A Toronto based consignor who became interested in wine after spending 6 months in France many years ago. Their affection for very nice bottles grew over time and they started collecting in the early 2000’s. They began with Bordeaux futures, and then moved more heavily towards California as well as Italy. The wines were mainly sourced from the LCBO/Vintages, and through several wine agents over the years. The wine was stored offsite, some at Iron Gate, and then moved to their home wine cellar.
The score for 2007 Dominus Estate Napa Valley is 99 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Deep garnet in color with a touch of purple, the 2007 Proprietary Red Wine flaunts wonderfully expressive, vibrant blackberries and black cherries scents to begin, giving way to black raspberries and redcurrants with touches of Indian spices, potpourri, chargrill, sage, espresso, unsmoked cigars and tilled soil plus a waft of cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the elegantly styled palate offers tantalizing restraint with a firm frame of very fine, pixelated tannins and compelling freshness, finishing very long with an invigorating lift. Although this wine will handsomely reward a further 5-7 years in cellar, it can offer a lot of pleasure now but will need a couple of hours of decanting.
