We are honored to offer wines from one of Southwestern Ontario’s most notable cellars in this sale. The consignor, a long-time friend and client of Iron Gate, is a respected and passionate collector. The 2000 Romanée-Conti was purchased through LCBO Vintages on release. The 1998 and 1999 La Tache sequential bottles were bought at Zachy’s NY Auction in 2004. The remaining 1993 Romanee Conti (in OWC) and the 1993 and 1995 La Tâche were acquired from the famous cellar of Champlain Charest in Quebec. Once acquired, they were stored under ideal humidity and temperature-controlled conditions.
The score 92 for 1993 DRC Romanee Conti is from Burghound, Allen Meadows and this is the tasting note - Deep ruby to the core with no sign at all of early bricking. The nose however displays just the initial hints of maturity with ample amounts of the classic spice, floral and dried rose petal aromas that also betray a bass note of vegetal though the robust and quite firmly structured flavors are intense, precise, powerful and linear on the admirably long finish. Unfortunately, several recent bottles have displayed secondary fruit characters that are well out in front of the maturation of the tannins and it's not at all clear that this is going to come together to produce greatness. In fact, my present view is that while the '93 RC will undoubtedly be very good, I don't see it as one of the greats.
