An Alberta based cellar curated by a husband and wife who began buying their wine from the SAQ after moving from Jakarta to Montreal. The wines were stored in a cellar built in their home and have made their way to Iron Gate as they are now moving and cannot take the wine with them.
The wine in this lot has a score of 95 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The 2004 Latour is perhaps evolving slower than I expected, although it remains one of the finest Left Bank wines of the vintage. It has that quintessential graphite-scented bouquet intermixed with blackberry and cedar, although the liquorice note that I observed previously has receded. Again, there is wonderful definition. The palate is full-bodied but surprisingly more sultry than I expected, especially here where I was able to directly compare it with the other 2004 First Growths. It delivers the "authority" you expect from Latour, although I might be inclined just to give it another 2-3 years in bottle.
