A Savage Bday (67 Pall Mall, London): Two very consistent and beautiful bottles on the day and once again much like the last dozen times we have tried this a beautiful wine that wobbles between 93-94 depending probably on our mood. Vintage in vintage out this wine delivers and on this day it was nothing short of that. Easy 93-94 and for some the wine of the night among a tough crowd. Lots of life here too.
Christmas dinner at home with friends. Excellent showing from the 2007, with quite a lot of power, strength, and ample acidity. Really broad shouldered. The colour is a medium golden hue and you are beginning to see hints of tertiary development of honey and caramel. While this is great, I felt the 2012 I popped 2 weeks back was more ready to go than this bottle.

PNP. Crisp and lemony on the nose. Fine chalky palate, light mousse with a refreshing finish.
