Tuesday, November 14, 2006 - Dare I disagree with Bob and Jancis?
First wine I headed for at the Farr Xmas Tasting at Vintners Hall EC4.
Decanted from a double magnum - the colour was extraordinary - deep, rich, almost impenetrable.
Bouquet of red fruit, but not the powerhouse I'd heard about.
Taste a little closed up: fine, but not extraordinary. I found the Pichon Baron 1996 every part it's equal (actually superior).
I suspect it will improve, but I'm not good at predicting the future, so on this I defer to RP.
Wasn't worth over £1000 a case in bond, which was what I really wanted to find out, but also certainly wasn't the Ribena that JR described.
