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 94 for 1995 DRC La Tache is from Burghound, Allen Meadows and this is the tasting note - The now fully mature nose combines a lovely combination of dried floral notes with those of spicy dark berry, soy and hoisin along with a trace of sous-bois. There is excellent density, power and minerality to the broad-shouldered flavors that culminate in a long and dusty finish that flirts with dryness yet doesn't quite fall over the edge. While fully mature, the '95 LT has the potential to be very long lived vintage, and even at almost 30 years of age, it's clear that it still has decades ahead of it. Tasted many times since release, including twice in 2024, with very consistent results.
