An Ontario based collector whose passion for wine began almost 60 years ago. His collection consists of 80% French wines and the remaining 20% from the other fine wine producing regions of the world with vintages spanning the last 150 years. Most of the wines were purchased through a UK agent and via New York and Chicago’s auction markets and some through local agents. He is fanatical when it comes to provenance and storage of the wines, his cellar is state of the art and humidity and temperature controlled. He treasures his extensive collection with the heart and soul being his Burgundies. This wonderful collection comes to Iron Gate as he begins to downsize.
The score for 1996 Harlan Estate Napa Valley Red is 98 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The opaque purple-colored 1996 Harlan Estate reveals extraordinary intensity, a spicy, black currant, tobacco, cedar, and fruit cake-scented bouquet, full body, a texture oozing with glycerin and concentrated fruit, and moderate tannin in the blockbuster finish. It is one of the most concentrated and complete red wines one could hope to taste.
