CT London Event (Hide Bar, Bermondsey, London): Another superb old fortified wine. Rich nose, replete with raisins, liquered cherries, a touch of mushroom and some mahogany wood. The palate was richer and more mouthfilling than the 1937 Maury we had alongside, with lots of dried figs and deep cherry flavours. Very deep and concentrated, yet impeccably balanced with clean and lively acidity. Nice long finish with a final kiss of dried figs rounded the wine off. Truly excellent but perhaps just lacking the subtle charm of the older Maury. No doubt this has plenty of time to develop still.
