Setting: University Club / Clive Coates tasting Appearance: clear to off-bright, medium intensity garnet-brick core, brickish rim with green flecks Nose: clean, medium intensity, caramel, sauvage, strawberry, tea and tobacco, pencil lead, fig notes, very round and complex Palate: dry, average acidity, average alcohol, slight oak treatment with drying tannins, medium+ body with medium+ finish, OK fruit component with good balance, flavour profile of leather, cola, spicy caramel, fresh strawberry Comments: amazing nose - so complex and continually evolving in the glass! Clive Coates' Comments: great vintage, this is properly mature at 40 years old! complex wine with cedar, spice, cinnamon notes and a naturally sweet finish

Bouchard Pere et Fils with Gilles de Larouziere (NoMad Cupola): Gorgeous! Saturated full bodied dark fruit. Lots of depth and complexity here.
