An Ontario-based consignor, who credits his passion for wine back to a 1982 Chateau Margaux, started his collection two decades ago. His bottles were acquired through the LCBO and SAQ. A long-time client of Iron Gate, he stores his bottles in a custom-designed home cellar that is both temperature and humidity-controlled.
The rating for 1995 Dal Forno Romano Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta DOCG is 98 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The opaque purple-colored 1995 Amarone is nearly perfect. It is reminiscent of super-concentrated blackberry liqueur infused with incense, smoke, and minerals. Full-bodied, dense, and chewy, this huge offering possesses remarkable purity and liveliness for its size and intensity. Amarone is an acquired taste, given its size as well as earthy, tarry characteristics. Certainly this wine reaches new levels of extract and richness, yet is dry, well-balanced, and, because of its extravagant richness, able to hide the whopping 16.5% alcohol it routinely possesses.
