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 2009 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Deep garnet in color, the 2009 Pontet-Canet slips sensuously from the glass with opulent scents of crème de cassis, baked plums and Black Forest cake plus suggestions of Chinese five spice, potpourri, oolong tea and menthol. Full-bodied, rich, spicy and oh-so-decadent in the mouth, it has a fantastically velvety frame and seamless freshness, finishing very long.
