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.

This is the tasting note for 2000 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - with a score of 99+ points. Tasted from an ex-Chateau bottle in Bordeaux, I was not surprised to find the 2000 Chateau Haut-Brion flirting with perfection. The nose is simply breathtaking - quintessential Haut-Brion with ebullient red berry fruit, roasted herbs, gravel, terracotta tiles on a warm summer's day.it is simply wave after wave of intoxicating scents that could bring even the most stoic person to tears of joy. The palate displays heavenly balance, pitch-perfect acidity, perhaps spicier than previous bottles that I have tasted, and what depth and dimension in this outstanding wine. That hint of graphite on the finish is a cheeky nod to Pauillac, as if to thumb its nose at the First Growths, because alongside Chateau Latour, almost by stealth, the Haut-Brion is one of the greatest Bordeaux in this millennial year.
