Cork wet through, very cloudy - obviously oxidised. Some smell started to come through but we didn't wait around.

2004 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 93 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Bolgheri, Bolgheri Sassicaia
Big blackcurrant and spice nose and mouth. Very smooth tannins. This opened very nicely in the glass, better than the other Supertuscans.

2007 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia 93 Points

Fabulous spicy, primary nose. Still purple and unresolved on the palate. Course tannins. Give this time.

2006 Antinori Solaia 94 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT
Less fruit-forward approach than the Sassicaia and the Ornellaia, with chalky tannins.
Very interesting and drinking already but one to watch over time.

1988 Gaja Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo 94 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco
Slight oxidised nose but fresh on the palate. Sound acid backbone. Complex mouth with dried fruits and licorice. Very good.
The chef came out and had some of this - big smiles.

1985 Château Palmer 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
Bit funky at first developing into green pepper and spice. This was beautiful on the palate right away. Perfect balance. After 30 minutes in glass, this was beautiful to drink.

1995 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 94 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
Similar to the Palmer but better on the palate. Very round - glycerol. Lovely balance. Nicely developed tannins. Improved well in the glass.
