A collector since university, more than 30 years ago, this consignor was on his school’s wine tasting team in England and was fortunate to have access to the university’s cellars to taste and learn about fine wines. He developed an appreciation for age worthy wines and began to purchase and carefully store them. Later in life he became friends with winemakers in the old and new world regions and was able to purchase highly allocated wines through them. He also buys wine from agents and the LCBO and occasionally from auction and all bottles go directly to storage at Iron Gate.
The score for 1978 Chateau Trotanoy Pomerol is 91 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted at the Trotanoy dinner at Sketch in London. Served blind by our host, I am so pleased that he did, because it opened my eyes to what is supposed to be a lesser vintage for the estate. It has a sublime, lilting bouquet of warm summer fruit, singed leather and dried orange peel. It is not a complex wine on the palate, but it is nicely balanced, mellow and with a pleasing, strict, foursquare finish, cedar lingering on the aftertaste.
