Saturday, July 3, 2021 - Magnum rarities tasting; 7/2/2021-7/3/2021 (Zunfthaus zur Waag, Zurich): Magnum rarities tasting hosted by a merchant and collector. The headline line-up of the main event featured 18 aged red wines from magnum which was preceded by warm-up tasting of a dozen aged reds. The highlights across both days were Chris Ringland 1998 (99), Montrose 1990 and Yquem 1948 (both 98). Also strong were Palmer 1989 (97), Cheval Blanc 1985 (97) and Léoville Poyferré 1990 (96). None of the wines were decanted prior to serving.

Tasting note:
From magnum. A lot of cellar must here as well as some wet cardboard. Overall still came across intact, however. Some sweet, red berry elements. Palate also just ok, but not much to be liked. Alcoholic, unbalanced, austere with a bitter aftertaste.
