Lot #1292. Levy & McClellan 2005

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95+ RP.
"A limited production of a very powerful and massive wine from two of California’s most famous winemaking gurus, Bob Levy and Martha McClellan, this wine remains primordial and backward, especially for a 2005. Loads of graphite notes interwoven with cassis, new saddle leather, blackberry and earth are impressive. It may sound unusual, but what came to mind is tasting some of the more recent vintages of Château Montrose in St.-Estèphe in Bordeaux. This wine still needs another 5-6 years of cellaring easily. This masculine, vigorous, bigger-than-life, full-throttle wine will evolve for another 25-30 years." eRobertParker.com #219, Jun 2015
Provenance: The Citrus Collection
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $350
