Property of a private Ontario collector. He established his collection in 2020, initially inspired by the wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Rhône Valley. The bottles were primarily sourced through the LCBO and Iron Gate Auctions, with select additions from Zyn in Alberta. The collection was stored at Dymon Wine Cellar prior to moving Iron Gate's climate-controlled facility.

This is the tasting note for 1992 Taylor's Vintage Port from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. Taylor's 1992 Vintage Port is unquestionably the greatest young port I have ever tasted. It represents the essence of what vintage port can achieve. The color is an opaque black/purple, and the nose offers up fabulously intense aromas of minerals, cassis, blackberries, licorice, and spices, as well as extraordinary purity and penetration. Yet this is still an unformed and infantile wine. If Chateau Latour made a late-harvest Cabernet Sauvignon, I suspect it might smell like this. In the mouth, the wine is out of this world, displaying layer upon layer of concentrated black fruits backed by well-integrated tannin and structure. This is a massive, magnificently rich, full-bodied port that will be far more flattering in its youth than were such Taylors as the 1983, 1977, or 1970. It possesses awesome fruit, marvelous intensity, and lavish opulence, all brilliantly well-delineated by the wine's formidable structure. This monumental 30-50 year port is a must purchase for port aficionados.! Also noteworthy is the fact that the 1992 Taylor commemorates the 300th anniversary of this firm, as evidenced by the special bottle Taylor used for this port.
