A long-time client of Iron Gate’s, this consignor has always enjoyed wine and began to collect in earnest in 2008. He built a custom 1000 bottle cellar at his lake house and all wine is stored there or with Iron Gate. The wines on offer in this auction were all purchased through LCBO and Iron Gate auctions.
The score for 2001 Sine Qua Non Midnight Oil Syrah Central Coast is 96 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The impeccable 2001 Midnight Oil (95.5% Syrah, 3% Grenache, and 1.5% Viognier) is a product of four vineyards, Alban, Stolpman, Bien Nacido, and White Hawk. The good news is there are 950 cases of this compelling effort. With a 'midnight' black color, and the viscosity of 10-W-40 oil, its aromas of violet/acacia flowers, melted licorice, camphor, blackberries, creme de cassis, and subtle toasty new oak are accompanied by a wine boasting terrific texture, good underlying acidity, ripe tannin, and a 60-second plus finish. This stunning effort competes with the 2000, and what looks to be Krankl’s greatest Syrah-based wine to date, the 2002.
