This remarkable wine collection owned by George and Ildiko Manner is a testament to George's unwavering passion and profound love for discovering, curating, and collecting wines.

This exceptional collection is sourced from auctions, LCBO/SAQ, wine agents, and direct engagements with winemakers. Professionally stored in custom-built, climate-controlled cellars, the collection ensures optimal conditions for preserving the wines' quality over the years. Each bottle in this collection symbolizes a lifelong commitment to curation and undoubtedly reflects the joy derived from savoring, understanding, and exploring the contents of each glass.
The score for 2000 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac is 97+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, the 2000 Mouton Rothschild (composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot) boldly bursts from the glass with tantalizing Black Forest cake, dried mulberries, kirsch and blackcurrant pastilles notes plus wafts of iodine, incense, potpourri and cinnamon stick with a hint of cigar boxes. Medium to full-bodied, the palate packs in the muscular fruit, framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with phenomenal length. This is an incredibly complex and multifaceted wine, and it's drinking deliciously now. This said, I can’t help but feel that it is holding something back, that it still has another layer of opulence and seduction to reveal in its tight-knit fruit and solid structure. I personally can’t wait to see how this beauty will continue to unfold over the years to come.
