A Toronto based consignor and storage client at Iron Gate who began collecting wine in 2007. Purchased through the LCBO, SAQ, and on trips to Europe, the bottles have all been meticulously cellared in temperature and humidity-controlled environments.
The wine in this lot has a following tasting note from Robert Parker -This is the first vintage that bears the Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC appellation. In fact, the 1994 Bolgheri Sassicaia represents the first edition of the first single-winery denomination in Italy and this special distinction has never again been duplicated. Furthermore, this release has never been formally reviewed in Robert Parker Wine Advocate. My impression is that the oak integration is less successful in this effort. There is a moment of hollowness on the mid-palate that is subsequently followed by dry and dusty oak tannins. There are few fruit remnants of prune and dried cherry, but promising more than that is a stretch.
