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 tasting note for 2020 Saxum Vineyards Broken Stones Southern Rhone Blend Red Paso Robles is from Robert Parker and the score is 93 - The 2020 Broken Stones combines 57% Syrah, 13% Grenache, 11% Graciano, 10% Mataro, 6% Petite Sirah and 3% Zinfandel. The nose is brooding, perfumed and intriguing, driven by dark-fruited, peppery, savory aromas with accents of purple flowers. The palate is unabashed in its plush concentration, leading to an intense and harmonious finish of structured, fine tannins surrounding grilled, meaty flavors that, if tasted in the context of a non-Syrah-dominate wine, could be perceived as hints of smoke-tinged fruit. However, the performance of the nose and overall completeness of the finish are instructive and reassuring, especially when tasted side by side with more clearly affected wines in the roster.
