Introduction

Monte Bello offline organised by Keith Prothero with some prompting by Ken Lamb who also suggested the venue.
Neil very kindly brought a Clos des Goisses 96 to start us off in traditional style.
And a pair of Climens 96 from half bottles concluded proceedings.

Closing

One of the strongest line up of wines at an offline that I can remember. They all showed very well apart from the faulty '91.
The venue was very good. A lovely private room and quite spacious. Perfect for twelve.
Though there is another room which would suit a smaller gathering.
Wine service was excellent and the food was very good, though I think the Ledbury has the edge.
