Introduction
A glorious summer evening
Flight 1 - Before the performance started (2 notes)
White - Sparkling
N.V. Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) Champagne
Consistent with previous. From magnum. All loved for its purity and finesse.
White - Sparkling
2014 Sugrue Pierre The Trouble With Dreams
Good but rich and unbalanced after the Rothschild champagne from magnum.
Flight 2 - Interval / dinner (1 note)
Red
2006 Château Léoville Poyferré
From magnum, decanted for a couple of hours. Consistent with previous, opened up very nicely. Good match for slightly-spicy shredded lamb in filo pastry.

Flight 3 - Evening in the gardens (3 notes)
Red
2009 Château Calon-Ségur
PnP. Very good tho would have benefited from a bit more air, just a touch hard straight from the bottle.
Red - Fortified
1970 Taylor (Fladgate) Very Old Single Harvest Port Limited Edition
Wonderful. Rich and intense but fresh right to the end. Long. Decanter describes “lovely toasty, malty complexity” - much fresher and more elegant than I was expecting. Greatly enjoyed.

Red
2015 Château Sénéjac
PnP. Agree with the consensus; needs more time or more air.
