His interest in collecting wine began over 20 years ago while living in Chicago, driven by a simple curiosity about why he enjoyed certain bottles so much more than others. That curiosity quickly led him to Bordeaux—especially Merlot-heavy blends with a softer edge—and Tuscan wines built around the Sangiovese grape. He grew particularly fond of reliable producers like Antinori, who consistently deliver great quality across their entire range. Rather than chasing ultra-expensive trophy bottles, his focus remains on finding the sweet spot between price and performance, making Left Bank Second Growths and solid vintage years the backbone of his selection. To keep everything in peak condition, he relies on Sub-Zero wine fridges, preferring their steady, reliable temperature control over standard cellar storage.
2018 Chateau Montrose St Estephe Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - Jeb Dunnuck 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2018 Chateau Montrose St Estephe Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - with a score of 95 points. A hulking monster of power and extraction, the 2018 Montrose offers up rich aromas of mulberries, cherries, dark chocolate and violets. Full-bodied, broad and ample, with a textural attack that segues into a sweet core of fruit framed by ripe but chewy tannins, it's a muscular, dense Montrose with structure to burn, concluding with a lingering, floral finish. While its over 14.5% alcohol is impressively well integrated, Médoc purists will want to gravitate toward the 2016 rather than the 2018..
