Flight 1 - Aperitif (1 Note)

  • 2001 Reichsrat Von Buhl Spätburgunder Sekt Brut 90 Points

    Germany, Pfalz

    Youthful appearance, gentle mousse; lovely, delicate Pinot flavours; smooth and rounded, nice weight, mouthfilling, seamless, flavours of red apple and cherry; lovely length. Has lost quite a lot of weight and exuberance in the last three years and is now a fully mature and still perfectly fresh wine.

Flight 2 - 2007 Domaine Paul Pernot (3 Notes)

Flight 3 - 2000 Margaux (7 Notes)

  • 2000 Château Lascombes 91 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Quite powerful and extracted, black cherries, tannic and masculine style but with the required stuffing to back up the extraction, good length, slightly farmyardy. Not terribly charming but very competent.

  • 2000 Château Rauzan-Gassies 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Light, crisp Cabernet, leafy and tea-like, clearly picked early or with high yields, on the dry side and quite tannic, but its privileged Margaux terroir also provides a floral topnote and a certain feminine elegance.

  • 2000 Château Boyd-Cantenac 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Strikingly youthful appearance; very aromatic nose of blackcurrants and earth, good depth but not very complex; on the palate slender but energetic, clearly Cabernet-dominated, sturdy but not without some Margaux charm; good length.

  • 2000 Château Marquis de Terme 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Ripe, crushed fruit, charming and well-rounded but with good tannic grip, good depth on the nose, slightly farmyardy; the slight lack of weight on the palate is compensated for by not inconsiderable charm; good length. One of the favourites tonight.

  • 2000 Château Dauzac 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Glossy, relatively modern, well-mannered, lead pencil minerality, violets, medium weight, the oak is a bit on the dry side, slightly figgy flavours, good length.

  • 2000 Château du Tertre 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Wonderfully fragrant and charming, peppery Cabernet Franc, ripe fruit of crushed red berries, beautifully balanced, effortless elegance, no lack of weight or structure, lovely length. A very pretty wine.

  • 2000 Château Giscours 93 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Outstanding Giscours, probably the best since the 1975 or even the 1970. In a beautiful place right now, excellent energy and typicity, ripe fruit, velvety texture, very good length.

  • 1999 Château de Rayne-Vigneau 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes

    Lovely golden colour; honey, tropical fruit, hint of vanilla, fresh and with good depth, harmonious; refreshing and elegant style, medium sweet, energetic; very good length.

  • 1999 Château Rieussec 93 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes

    Rich, golden colour with an orange tinge; quite big and rich but there is no lack of energy or freshness, the flavours have a caramelly touch; excellent length.

Flight 5 - Graham's Vintage Port (2 Notes)

  • 1994 Graham Porto Vintage 94 Points

    Portugal, Douro, Porto

    Very youthful appearance; blackberry liqueur and fresh figs, very primary; rich, sweet and impressive but far too young really. This will be great but patience is required; I would suggest a drinking window of 2020-2050+.

  • 1975 Graham Porto Vintage 91 Points

    Portugal, Douro, Porto

    Identical to my previous note. This is such a delicious wine. Delicate, gentle, fragrant, ethereal even and wonderfully fresh and lively, medium-dry; quite amazing quality and condition for a 1975.
