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 2011 E Guigal La Mouline Cote Rotie is 92 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - I loved the forward, sexy style of the 2011 Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde, and it’s just hard to resist today. Loaded with notions of kirsch, blackberry, toasted nuts and spice, it’s medium to full-bodied, elegant, seamless and hedonistic. I’d happily drink it anytime over the coming decade.
The score for 2011 E Guigal La Landonne Cote Rotie is 99 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - A step up over the other two single vineyard releases, the 2011 Cote Rotie la Landonne is an incredible wine that knocks it out of the park in the vintage. Its inky purple/ruby color is followed by to-die-for notes of cassis, black olives, truffles, graphite and crushed rock. Full-bodied, massively concentrated, thick and unctuous, it has the vintage’s flamboyant fruit profile, yet backs it up with a stacked mid-palate, serious amounts of tannin and a finish that just won’t quite. It’s relatively approachable now due to its glycerin and fat, yet needs a decade of cellaring and will knock your socks off over the following two decades or more.
The score for 2011 E Guigal La Turque Cote Rotie is 97 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2011 Cote Rotie la Turque is about as seamless and sexy as wine gets, and this cuvee continues to put on weight and richness with every passing year. Offering a monstrous nose of Asian spices, kirsch liqueur, blackcurrants, pepper and smoked meats, this full-bodied Cote Rotie has layers of sweet tannin, no hard edges and a killer finish. It's already hard to resist today, but has three decades of prime drinking to go.
