1985 Château La Lagune
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Lovely nose - all cedar and cigar box, somewhat light and happily clean as a whistle. On the palate - all the classic claret is there as well as a surprising lightness and fruit. Spot on.

1999 Ridge Petite Sirah York Creek
USA, California, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District
Another auction purchase. Deep purple. Lovely nose - lots going on but again, clean as a whistle, lots of zip - cranberry maybe, some honeysuckle, a vague hint of forest floor. The palate is still fully there - the tannins are noticeable but in line, the acid is bracing, the structure is very much to the fore but it holds the fruit up well. This was absolutely ready to go but good grief more life in it yet. Yummers.
