A Toronto-based consignor who has been collecting since the 80s.

The collection has been meticulously stored in professional wine storage facilities prior to arriving for auction at Iron Gate.
The tasting note for 2007 Numanthia Termanthia Toro DO is from Robert Parker and the score is 92 - The 2007 was the coolest vintage experienced at Numanthia. The 2007 Termanthia show more oak on the nose, heady scents of camphor and wild honey infusing the ripe red berry fruit. The palate is full-bodied with decadent ripe red fruit but here, unlike the previous two vintages, I am missing the requisite tension and precision to maintain balance. The finish is very sweet and candied, which makes me wonder whether drinking more than one glass might be a law of diminishing returns? Still, it has good cohesion on the finish, but it is not a flattering Termanthia when compared directly against, say, the 2005 or 2008.
