A Vancouver cellar whose passion in wine dates back to his university days. When he relocated to the San Francisco area he had 50 bottles and within a year he had accumulated nearly 1000. This was partially due to the restricted access to these wines in Canada, combined with the competitive pricing in the US. For these reasons most of his American collection came straight from the wineries, with the balance being sourced from trusted agents and distributors in BC. Everything was stored under constant temperature and humidity control, residing in profession storage until being brought to auction.
2006 Krug Brut Champagne has following scores - James Halliday 99, The Wine Advocate 97, Wine Spectator 97. 2006 Krug Brut Champagne has the score of 97 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -As I reported when it was released, Krug's 2006 Brut is clearly one of the vintage's highlights. Offering up aromas of dried fruits, pear, freshly baked bread, caramelized apples, honeycomb and toasted sourdough, it's full-bodied, deep and layered, with superb concentration, racy acids and an impressively tightly wound profile for this demonstrative vintage. I observed last year that this is surprisingly reserved for the vintage, and if anything, that quality is even more in evidence today. While many 2006 Champagnes are likely to be at their best in their demonstrative youth, this is one wine unquestionably built for the long haul.
