This Vancouver based consignor discovered fine wine after tasting Lynch Bages while on a trip to Scotland over 50 years ago. From that moment on, with Robert Parker as his guide, he did everything he could to buy top Bordeaux and after 20 or 30 years the wines were performing as predicted. All wine was purchased upon release and stored and immediately stored in a 1000 bottle wine cellar. The temperature was a constant 15C, and the humidity was always more than 50%. When he moved to a condo, the best wines (including all the bottles committed to Iron Gate) went immediately into a Silhouette cooler, once again at 15C. He hopes that his collection will please others as much as it did him.
The tasting note for 1990 Chateau Leoville Barton St Julien is from Robert Parker and the score is 93+ - Believe it or not, the 1990 Leoville Barton can actually be drunk - something that cannot be said about the broodingly backward, still excruciatingly tannic 1982. The exceptionally concentrated 1990 reveals more polished, sweeter tannins along with a big, sweet kiss of black currant, forest floor, cedar, and spice box notes. While it still has some tannins to shed, this full-bodied, powerful, long wine is approachable. It should continue to evolve for another two decades.
