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.
The rating for 2004 Alves de Sousa Abandonados Douro is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2004 Abandonado, an old vines, single-vineyard bottling, is showing far better than its 2007 sibling (also reviewed) and quite beautifully. With wonderful focus and superb fruit, it combines complexity, flavor, and structure into a very pleasing and graceful whole. It should continue aging well for the next decade, at the least. It's a beauty.
