A couple living in Vancouver built their wine collection over the pandemic, taking advantage of the time available for research and the enjoyment of wine. During their travels before the pandemic, they had discovered producers and styles that intrigued them—collecting wine from the places they had visited or finding bottles they had enjoyed along the way became a way to break the monotony of quarantine. A relationship was established with Morrell Wine, specifically with their representative from the importer, who played a significant role in helping them refine their vision for the ideal collection. Most of their bottles were stored at Morrell’s cellar prior to their move to Canada, though they kept a few cases in a carefully maintained cellar in their Austin high-rise. To ensure the collection’s safe transport, they worked with the expert team at Xpeditr, coordinating its secure transfer from Morrell and Austin to a new cellar in Vancouver in 2022, where the bottles have remained since import. They now hope these bottles will find a home with someone who truly appreciates wine and the shared moments it fosters, whether they are new to collecting or seasoned enthusiasts.
The scores for 2016 Chateau Montrose St Estephe Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe - Jeb Dunnuck - 100. The rating for 2016 Chateau Montrose St Estephe Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe is 99+ points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - One of the greatest wines in this vertical tasting, the 2016 Montrose unwinds in the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis, wild berries, pencil shavings, violets and burning embers. Full-bodied, deep and complete, it's velvety and seamless, with a layered core of vibrant fruit, sweet tannins and a long, resonant finish. At 13.3% alcohol, this unerringly precise, incipiently complex Montrose is the purist's choice.
