This collector is WSET 3 certified and has always been fascinated by the history or winemaking, viticulture and how wines pairs with different cuisines. He began collecting 20 years ago and stores his wine in professional facilities in both Toronto and Vancouver. Wines were acquired through the LCBO and BC Liquor Stores.
The wine in this lot has a score of 96+ from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The deep garnet-purple shaded 2015 Lafite Rothschild is blended of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot and was matured for 20 months in new oak barrels from Tonnellerie des Domaines (their own cooperage). It is still sporting a lot of cedar at this nascent stage with a vibrant core of black raspberries, red currants and crushed plums plus touches of cigar boxes, violets and underbrush with a waft of tilled loam. Medium-bodied and elegantly styled with wonderful freshness and depth, it is compellingly earthy/minerally in the mouth with a frame of seductively silky yet very firm tannins and culminating in a very long, racy and pure finish. Boasting spectacular finesse and packed with nuances, clearly, given some of the challenges here in 2015, this is a masterpiece of diligence in the vineyards, careful selection and very clever crafting—bravo!
