  The 50 Big Bash (Harry's NYC): A bit unfair as I had high hopes for this wine and I'd say it was a good old Bordeaux but not really a knock your socks off. It's got the age and old leather and maybe if you start to look for it a background of fruit. Not quite as vibrant as some of the other bottles. From this bottle it seems we should be drinking our wine soon.

  Still holding up well. Pop and pour, touch musty at the beginnng but still holding onto a bit of fruit and an enjoyable green pepper acidity along with a wonderfully soft texture mouthfeel. As always with wines this age, all about getting lucky with a well stored bottle.

  The oldest VCC that I have tried thus far. Great floral nose, definitely a bit better than the palate. Lean but not thin wine. Still had a decently long finish and just a touch of fruit left. Could have shown more tertiary notes at this stage. I think probably a little past it's prime but still fun to try.

  Poor bottle, cloudy and oxidised. Shame.
