90. Enaggilos Toantalis, Metoxi, 1998
Even garnet colour. Cherry and maybe prune aromas, with smoky oak overtones. Quite harmonious. On the palate, a bit thin and acidic, but nevertheless …
89. Domaine Bertagna, Vougeot, 1993
A product of my first ever wine trip. Having done the Clos de Vougeot tour beforehand, Dad and I bought half-a-dozen Vougeot villages. Drunk …
88. Castello di Ama, Chianti Classico, 1999
A touch disappointing for the effort to get it and the price. “3 Glasses” winner and certainly not bad, but maybe needs time to …
84. Jean-Marc Brocard, Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, 1993

72. Château Latour, Grand Vin de Château Latour Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac, 1975
Well, the opening gambit has to be a value-for-money statement… ultimately not worth £142, but a fantastic wine! Quintessence of a subtle, balanced, smooth, …
70. Domaines Schlumberger, Pinot Gris Grand Cru Kitterlé Alsace, 1997
Had 2 bottles of this and was very disappointed with the first. It is NOT a Pinot Grigio. However, on drinking the second I …
