Half Century Magnum Lunch (La Trompette) (London): From Magnum. Stunning. I’ve boringly made notes of Mango and lychee and has a purity of fruit. Beautifully light, sweet and refreshing. This was good and perhaps second wine of the event though in some ways sweet wines should be on their own I feel as can stand out at the end of a long meal.

Magnum Mike's Magnificent Half Century (La Trompette): Magnum...! Top, top wine, obviously. Tropical fruit, lime jam and Chantilly cream on the to-die-for nose. Lovely balance on the elegant palate, with more cream, Sarawak pepper and a really long finish. I think the wine may well still have some upside, although I'm certainly glad to have tried it... can I have another glass now please?

Medium light color. Highly complex wine. Thick, high viscosity with herbs and yellow fruits on the palate. Beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness. Long future.
