A collector since university, more than 30 years ago, this consignor was on his school’s wine tasting team in England and was fortunate to have access to the university’s cellars to taste and learn about fine wines. He developed an appreciation for age worthy wines and began to purchase and carefully store them. Later in life he became friends with winemakers in the old and new world regions and was able to purchase highly allocated wines through them. He also buys wine from agents and the LCBO and occasionally from auction and all bottles go directly to storage at Iron Gate.
The score for 2002 Black Hills Estate Winery Nota Bene is 89 points from Anthony Gismondi and the tasting note - This note comes from a 17-wine vertical tasting held in Osoyoos, British Columbia on Saturday September 30. Each of the bottles tasted were in good physical condition although clearly some of the older, formative years are now past their best. Working through 17 vintages of Nota Bene makes it clear that better viticulture, older grapes vines, new facilities and better wine knowledge has improved the all-round quality of the current Nota Bene labels when compared to its humbler beginnings. The 2002 was one of the better early wines from Nota Bene that has morphed into a soft, round, easy-sipping red with a sweet candied (volatile) fruit finish. A good example of the sum of the parts exceeding the individual blend of 48/37/15 blend of cabernet sauvignon/ merlot/cabernet franc at 14.5 percent alcohol. No real savoury notes at this point just dry and herbal. Ready to drink with roasted meats. Winemaker Senka Tennant.
