  League of Gentlemen Tasting chez moi.
  
  FIRST FLIGHT
  2000 Silvio Grasso Barolo Ciabot Manzoni - Gorgeous, complex, great weight, sweet fruit, a beautiful wine -- 95 points
  1999 Jadot Clos Vougeot - Pretty closed, both in its aroma and on the palate. Difficult to tell whether this will evolve. 90 points
  1999 Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra - Very tight and young. A complete wine - give it 5 years. 93 points
  2005 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir "Isabelle". Lush, deep, great fruit and balance. Drinking beautifully. 94 points
  
  SECOND FLIGHT
  1996 Fonsalette Cote du Rhone Cuvee Syrah - gorgeous, complex, evolved, deep, rich fruit. WOTN. 96 points
  1991 Marc Sorrel Hermitage Le Greal - A little tight on the nose; a little closed on the palate. Lovely though. 92 points
  2000 Guigal Cote Rotie La Turque - Structured, tannic, great depth. Needs another 5 years. 93 points
  2003 Guigal Cote Rotie Chateau d'Ampuis - Big, jammy, rich, structured. Close contender for WOTN. 95 points.
  
  PORT
  Graham's Vintage Port 1994 - Sweet, vinous, needs more time. Try again in five years. 93 points

  I think it had potential but the corked nose would not blow off. The palate was balanced and intense with fruit and nices econdary flavours. It would have been a low 90s score if not corked.

  Tight, closed, but with great pedigree. Open again in three years.
