  Académie des Cinquante 65th Annual Dinner (Restaurant De Echoput, Hoog Soeren, Netherlands): Dutch-bottled by Robbers & Van den Hoogen. Far less port-like than the first bottle, more cedary and more transparent in every sense, with a lovely definition in the crushed red berry fruit, refined tannins and a silky-sweet texture, excellent resonance and length. A very fine bottle.

  Académie des Cinquante 65th Annual Dinner (Restaurant De Echoput, Hoog Soeren, Netherlands): Dutch-bottled by Robbers & Van den Hoogen. Deep and rich colour, deep and spicy nose, great vitality without any signs of old acidity creeping in, sturdy and rich, vinous rather than very complex, slightly monolithic, distinctly port-like on the finish with noticeable back-end heat.

  Le Cinq Legends Dinner 2018 (Le Cinq Restaurant, George Cinq Four Seasons, Paris): Very fresh, bright fruit and acidity. Finish not as long

  A private lunch (Restaurant De Burgemeester *, Linschoten, Netherlands): Upper/top shoulder level. Bottled by Robbers & Van den Hoogen, Arnhem, Netherlands. Powerful, sweet fruit, lovage, rich, has tension and power, deeper in every respect than the 1955 La Conseillante that preceded it, but not as subtle and layered; slightly monolithic perhaps but creamy and accessible; complete and long. Perfectly healthy. Dutch bordeaux bottlings of the 1940's and 1950's can still be very good and this one was.
