A consignor from BC who started collecting about 15 years ago after becoming interested in wine on his first trip to Italy. Winery tours and dinners with the actual producers, owners and winemakers inspired him. Since that first trip to Italy, he and his wife have travelled extensively throughout the world’s major wine regions and have purchased wines and sent them back home to Canada. His wife currently operates her own business in the wine/liquor industry providing him with greater access to some wines. This, along with Futures Programs and a few favourite wine retailers in Alberta and BC is where he sources his wine from.The wine has been stored in a temperature controlled custom home cellar before coming to Iron Gate for auction.
The wine in this lot has a score of 99 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Hill of Grace Shiraz is a little reticent on the nose to begin, opening out to a somewhat paradoxically tantalizing Black Forest cake, beef dripping, fertile loam and tree bark nose with hints of black pepper, Marmite, bay leaves, eucalyptus, licorice and baker’s chocolate. The medium to full-bodied palate is a wonderfully intricate mélange of mineral, savory, dark fruits and spice layers, framed by velvety tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing epically. This is a truly great Hill of Grace that has just entered the first stage of its drinking window and should continue to develop beautifully over the next 25+ years.
