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 wine in this lot has a score of 94 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The 2011 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia lives up to the legacy of this important wine, thanks to its extreme intensity and its skillfully crafted bouquet. The excellent quality of fruit stands clear, despite the heat of the vintage, with pristine notes of dark cherry, exotic spice and chocolate. This expression of Ornellaia is composed of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. The results are nothing short of exuberant and this vintage will reward both those who decided to drink it early, as well as those who have the patience to wait. The only slight ruffle in this otherwise gorgeous presentation is the 2011 tannin that feels a touch aggressive. For that reason, its probably better to put the wine aside in your cellar.
