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 tasting note for 1991 Royal Tokaji Wine Company Birsalmas Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos is from Wine Spectator - A nice marriage of spice and dried fruit flavors give depth. Shows good concentration, and tastes of raisins, dried apricots and honey..." (Pronounced Beer-shäwl-määsh) The Birsalmás vineyard, which is situated on an East facing slope up and above the Royal Tokaji cellars in Mád, is tiny. It is in the “suburbs” of the town, and because of the relative beauty of the spot, it has become “smart” to build there. The Royal Tokaji parcel is only about 0.4 Ha and is surrounded by two similar sized parcels. About four more hectares are planted, and most of these are now part of a garden. Most of the grapes have to be bought from the garden owners and neighbours! Birsalmás, which means quince in Hungarian, is a 2nd Growth in the 1700 classification and it lives up to its name very well.
