A consignor who began collecting wine over 20 years ago while living in Australia, sparked by a deep fascination with how grape varieties, regions, and vintages evolve over time. His primary focus has long been Burgundy, a region he has visited on several occasions to explore vineyards, meet producers, and taste wines directly from the barrel in historic cellars. For him, the true beauty of Burgundy lies in how different domaines craft distinct personalities from the exact same terroir. Every bottle in this consignment was purchased directly through licensed Canadian wine importers via regular annual allocations, with all applicable taxes paid and full purchase records available to confirm provenance. Immediately following acquisition, the wines were transported directly to Fine Wine Reserve (FWR) for climate-controlled professional storage, where they remained undisturbed until being transferred directly to Iron Gate Auctions' Toronto location.
2019 Opus One Napa Valley from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 93 points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy 93 points. This is the tasting note for 2019 Opus One Napa Valley from Robert Parker - Winemaker Michael Silacci commented that usually the blends are finished in January or February after the vintage. This year, with the 2019s, he was still tweaking the blend, but he did mention that this is "pretty close to the final blend." Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Opus One leaps from the glass with notes of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, mulberries and fresh blackcurrants plus hints of licorice, wilted roses, Sichuan pepper and iron ore. Full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with juicy black, blue and red fruits, framed by velvety tannins and background freshness, finishing on a compelling earthy/mineral note. Tasted as a barrel sample, this is a truly magnificent Opus One in the making!.
