Over 30 years ago, the LCBO played a key role in sparking his interest in wine when they opened a large Vintages section at his local store. He began reading their monthly magazines and exploring new releases, which deepened his passion for wine. This enthusiasm eventually led him to travel to various wine regions. He started collecting wine in the late 1990s, purchasing mostly from the LCBO, with additional acquisitions from Toronto auctions and visits to vineyards. His collection was always stored in a temperature-controlled wine cellar, built by Rosehill Wine Cellars, prior to arriving at Iron Gate.
1998 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 98 points, Vinous 96 points, Falstaff Magazine 96 points. This is the tasting note for 1998 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. The 1998 Cheval Blanc, a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet-brick in color and absolutely explodes with scents of exotic spices, incense, dried roses, cigar box and licorice, with a core of creme de cassis and dried cherries plus touches of black tea and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with rich, plushly textured fruit and then POW!it hits the mid-palate with an explosion of Chinese five spice and floral perfume sparks, leading to an epically long finish. This cannot fail to impress and can easily cellar for another 30 years or more.
