Perfect Scores

Jeb Dunnuck almost ran out of adjectives when he tried to describe the 2005 Clos Saint-Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Deus ex Machina” when he reviewed it in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.

There are exceptional wines, and then there are exceptional wines, and the 2007 Château de Beaucastel “Hommage à Jacques Perrin” Chateauneuf-du-Pape is one of them.

Another item in our auction that has garnered a perfect score from a besotted critic is the 2006 Cardinale, one of the world-class wines from the Napa Valley in California.

There’s a fine line between pleasure and pain, especially in the world of wine. Thankfully there are critics to guide us in our selections.

Another perfect scoring wine in our auction this year is the 2005 Château Pavie. Robert Parker gave it 100 out of 100 in the Wine Advocate (#220) in August 2015.

Another stellar bottle that we have on auction this spring is the 2005 Château La Mission Haut-Brion. This wine has inspired several critics to give it a perfect score.

Each year, the Ottawa Wine Auction brings in some of the finest wines from around the world donated by savvy and generous collectors in support of the Music and Beyond Festival.
