The consignor, based in Southwestern Ontario, began developing a passion for wine during a three-month stay in Europe in 1968. Over the years, he carefully built his collection, with the majority of bottles acquired through LCBO wine futures offerings. Two of the oldest bottles were sourced from respected wine merchants in London, England. All bottles have been stored in a temperature-controlled 500-bottle wine cabinet since their acquisition, with most purchases dating back to the early 2000s.
2005 Chateau L"Eglise Clinet Pomerol from this lot has the following scores - Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2005 Chateau L"Eglise Clinet Pomerol from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. The Château l'Eglise-Clinet 2005 was served from bottle and from magnum (both ex-cellar). It has a magnificent nose with bewitching delineation - darker fruit than either the 2003 or 2004, blackberry, raspberry, hints of black tea and black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with brilliant focus, still quite backward as so many grandees of this vintage remain, albeit beginning to soften towards the licorice-tinged finish. This is a benchmark for both Denis Durantou and this Pomerol estate, although I can see it testing wine-lovers' patience..
