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 Olivier Leflaive Montrachet Grand Cru is 97-99 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Ultimately, the show-stopping Montrachet may merit a perfect score. Ethereal mineral, floral and spicy oak aromas are followed by an incredibly rich, awesomely deep, elegant and full-bodied personality. Layers of oily-textured honeysuckle, white pears, concentrated liquid minerals and buttery oak roll over the palate
