Brian was meticulous in both the curation and physical care of his collection. All bottles were stored horizontally—either in low-light conditions or sealed within original cardboard cases—and housed in a subterranean basement cellar. Ambient storage temperatures remained stable at approximately 18°C (64°F). Note that active mechanical cooling systems were decommissioned approximately five years ago; collectors should account for this slightly elevated baseline, as it may have contributed to accelerated maturation across certain vintages.
