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.
2008 Torbreck The Laird Shiraz Barossa Valley from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2008 Torbreck The Laird Shiraz Barossa Valley from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2008 The Laird is a little restrained to begin, opening out after a few moments and much coaxing to an extraordinary array of creme de cassis and black plum-based aromas with underlying chocolate box, licorice, exotic spice, oolong tea and clove hints with a touch of earthy loam. Richly textured, dense and with a provocative meaty/earthy/savory, the palate is complex and layered revealing menthol and ripe black fruit notes interplaying with firm, velvety tannins through to a very long, opulent and harmonious finish..
