Over 30 years ago, the LCBO played a key role in sparking his interest in wine when they opened a large Vintages section at his local store. He began reading their monthly magazines and exploring new releases, which deepened his passion for wine. This enthusiasm eventually led him to travel to various wine regions. He started collecting wine in the late 1990s, purchasing mostly from the LCBO, with additional acquisitions from Toronto auctions and visits to vineyards. His collection was always stored in a temperature-controlled wine cellar, built by Rosehill Wine Cellars, prior to arriving at Iron Gate.
The scores for 1990 Paul Jaboulet Aine La Chapelle Hermitage - The Wine Advocate - 100, Decanter - 100, Jeb Dunnuck - 100. The rating for 1990 Paul Jaboulet Aine La Chapelle Hermitage is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 1990 Hermitage La Chapelle lived up to its reputation on this occasion, and of the three titans (1990, 1978 and 1961), it was probably my favorite. Still inky colored and ruby at the rim, it offers an absolutely profound bouquet of sweet cassis, smoked meats, chocolate, licorice and spice. This is followed by a full-bodied, insanely textured, pure and hedonistic palate that has that perfect mix of still-vibrant fruit and ample secondary nuances. I suspect the '61 was even richer at this stage, but the overall purity and freshness here are incredible. It will continue to evolve for decades, but I'd happily open bottles today.
