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 2015 Hugel Riesling Selections de Grains Nobles Alsace is 99 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - With pineapple, ripe peach and saffron aromas on the clear and invitingly flinty nose, this is one of the richest Rieslings the Hugel family has ever bottled. The 2015 Riesling Sélection de Grains Nobles "S" was picked with 21.3% potential alcohol and went into the bottle with 9.7% alcohol and 195 grams per liter of residual sugar. Sourced in the Engelsreben (deep clay soils with a two-meter layer of granite sand), this is a highly finessed Riesling with lemon chutney flavors and a stimulating, salty, even frisky, uplifting finish. The wine has great concentration, but the precision, tonic freshness and ethereal lights are even more stunning. A highly promising wine.
