  Like a very tawny port. Orange peel, redcurrant, lovely restrained sweetness.

  Sept. 9 League of Gentlemen Tasting chez moi: Grenache blend. Rich, sweet/sour, balanced, complex. Apricots, caramel, stewed fruits, coffee, chocolate. Delicious.

  Wine dinner at Zucca Trattoria - all wines supplied by me.
  
  My ratings:
  
  WHITE
  2005 Henri Boillot Meursault Les Charmes -- 95 -- Delicious, drinking now, with good fruit, balanced acidity and nice minerality
  
  REDS
  1997 Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares -- 93 -- Needs time - will be sublime in another 5 years
  1995 Ornellaia (from Magnum) -- 95 -- Brilliant! Drinking now. Beautifully balanced; a rich mouthful
  1996 Henri Perrot-Minot Charmes-Chambertin -- 95 -- Beautifully generous, although could do with more time in the bottle
  1997 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild -- 96 -- Drinking beautifully. No one guessed this might be a 1997.
  1989 Chateau Haut-Brion -- 99 -- First equal for WOTN. Unbelievable.
  1997 Guigal Cote-Rotie “La Mouline” -- 96 -- Mature nose, lots of smoke, bacon and black fruits.
  1991 Guigal Cote-Rotie “La Landonne” -- 99 -- First equal for WOTN. Unbelievable.
  
  DESSERT
  1937 Maury Domaines et Terroirs du Sud -- 94 -- Caramel, apricots; a delicious mouthful of dessert wine!

  CT London Event (Hide Bar, Bermondsey, London): Wow! on the nose. Rich cherry liquer, chocolate, spiced fig cake and treacle. Gorgeous palate as well, this was alive and kicking and, in fact, even singing. Gloriously too, especially for a 72 year old wine. Sweet raisins, dried figs and sultanas filled the mouth in a wonderful resolved way. Finished with a touch of spice and a linger of raisins. Not quite as racy or structured as the 1955 Banyuls we had next, but oh so very charming and seductive. Very, very lovely.

  Tasted at Farr's Christmas tasting.
  Privelege to taste such an old wine. Delicious! Sweet and nutty. Some round Madeira-like flavours on the expansive palate. Lots going on there. Complex. A dry (!) finish with plenty of fine refreshing tannins. Wow. This is lovely stuff. Nowhere near its decline. Light on its feet and full of flavour at 71 years old. Amazing.
  Sal impressed too at 92pts.
