An informal gathering of aficionado's at Masters Superfish in beautiful South London. An interestign mix of wines, great food and company.
Soft, low acid, like sinking into an old armchair, stewed apple and yeast. Too easy?

Very pure, bright citrus and a little bit of orange pith, low dosage but round fruit, keen. Some carameled orange later. Agglomerate cork.
Perfectly poised, very light on it's feet, no tannin, foxy. Hard to rate.
Smokey melons
Very big, that burly in your face 96 style, not brash though, rounded fruit. Drinking well but no rush.
Initially this screamed Pol Roger, a slightly memphitic almost meaty edge, I am not sure it suits a BdB too well though.
Clearly a fine wine, full of old oak, oxidative of course, big, not for wimps.
Disgorged July 2007.Initially this was neutral on the nose, and amazingly young in the mouth, full of dry light extract, not at all 1990, nunlike. Turned into whipped caramel and soft fruit in time. Non-dose. Drink up? Who knows?
