The excellent wine list at Toronto’s Granite Club inspired this gentleman to begin collecting wine years ago. The collection consists of Cru Classe Bordeaux, Burgundy and California classics, most purchased on visits to these regions. Some of the wine came from specialty wine stores in New York. His wine, which has always been stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar, has made its way to Iron Gate as he and his wife are downsizing.
The score for 1993 The Royal Tokaji Wine Company Tokaj Aszu Eszencia is 97 from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Amazingly concentrated, this is like liquid gold. Very thick, rich and a bit heavy, with marmalade, honey and pineapple, it almost has the texture of maple syrup. Incredibly intense on the long, smoky, lemony finish. Drink now through 2035.
