This Vancouver based consignor discovered fine wine after tasting Lynch Bages while on a trip to Scotland over 50 years ago. From that moment on, with Robert Parker as his guide, he did everything he could to buy top Bordeaux and after 20 or 30 years the wines were performing as predicted. All wine was purchased upon release and stored and immediately stored in a 1000 bottle wine cellar. The temperature was a constant 15C, and the humidity was always more than 50%. When he moved to a condo, the best wines (including all the bottles committed to Iron Gate) went immediately into a Silhouette cooler, once again at 15C. He hopes that his collection will please others as much as it did him.
The tasting note for 1989 Chateau Montrose St Estephe Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe is from Robert Parker and the score is 97 - The 1989 Montrose can be a magical wine, even if huge variation between bottles makes it something of a minefield for anyone with an aversion to the animal aromatic signatures of Brettanomyces yeasts. This particular example was one of the best I have had (and as one of the best Bordeaux from my birth year, it is a wine I have drunk several dozen times), offering up rich aromas of cassis, dark berries, black truffle, pencil lead, espresso toast and rich soil tones, followed by a full-bodied, ample and layered palate that's broad, sensual and enveloping, framed by sweet, powdery tannins. In fact, my handwritten notes include the words, "best bottle ever!"
