Based in Montreal, this consignor has always had a passion for farming and was once a part-owner of a winery in Oregon. His journey into wine collecting began in 2005 when he acquired a collection from a SAQ cellar owner, soon after which he started investing in Bordeaux futures. Except for the Vice Versa, which was purchased directly from the winery, his entire collection was sourced through the SAQ. Every bottle has been carefully stored in his custom-built, climate-controlled underground cellar by Mr. St-Laurent.
The rating for 1928 Chateau Montrose St Estephe Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe is 94 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Bordeaux old-timers agree that Montrose is the only wine capable of matching the impressive longevity of the famed Chateau Latour. That belief was certainly justified by the 1928, a vintage that produced some of the most tannic, backward wines ever. Aromas of volatile acidity add rather than detract from the sweet, cedary, herb, and plum-scented nose. In the mouth, this amazingly fresh, mammoth wine exhibits extraordinary depth and richness. Not surprisingly, it still reveals significant quantities of tannin! There is gorgeous extraction, as well as a rustic quality to the massive feel of this amazingly young wine. Pity those who bought it in the early 1930s expecting to drink it in their lifetimes!
